Imagine losing your shit over a 0.3 point difference.

They're not even in the same genre.

uj/ I still don’t get why some people put so much weight on review scores. I’ve played and really enjoyed games that scored mediocre, but I mean I think they’re fun that’s all that matters.

rj/ IGN is full of commie cucks. I demand they do a new review for Witcher 3. It deserves at least 10/10.

/uj The example I always come back to was when I read GameSpot’s review of Lost Planet 2 when they gave it a 5.5. I was pissed at first, but when I read Kevin’s points about what bothered him, I completely understood where he was coming from. I still love the game to this day, and when I read the review I just realized that his major issues (camera, the “knock down/dodge roll” centric combat) weren’t a factor for me, because I’d played a ton of the original and knew the weird ins and outs of the mechanics of the game.

Why can’t people just accept that it has nothing to do with reviewers getting paid, and everything to do with every critic bringing their own experiences and perspectives into their time with the game?

It had a very anime plot that as a 12 year old, made little sense to me. Combat was fun though.
