If there is a game that isn't on my platform of choice, then I have no choice but to hate it!



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

People who think that certain games don't count, either because they're casual fun games or on portable devices or just because the game sells a lot and is on a rival console to the one they want to make love to... or have have it make love to them.

People need to understand that everyone has preferences and consumers are not beholden to create professional reviews. What's wrong with denying a game because of certain gameplay aspects? What's it to you if someone doesn't want to play a game after 10 minutes?

I'm sure you've also looked at countless video game covers or descriptions and instantly rejected a game because of that without giving it a proper chance. You're being a bit hypocritical and judgmental here.

I've seen people rejecting FFXIII after only 20h even though the game gets a lot better after 40h. But I don't judge them for it. It's not their fault that they have shit taste.

So be it. I play alot of RPGs and I played alot of the final fantasy games so I wasn't being unfair to the game. It's infamously linear, you can't do most of the normal things you can do in most RPGs and the game trilogy strays from Final Fantasy games in general. 

If I did this with a mario game, the op's opinion would apply to me because I don't like those kind of games in general.

I hate people who give 0's. Literally no game with a decent budget has ever been that bad. Even games like Mighty No.9 are still nowhere near an unplayable status.

For me 5 is for a game that is not broken, but has absolutely nothing to show for. So 0 is probably for an empty disc ? ;)

There are actually some games that don't start at all, because they're so broken. I believe tha there are ZX Spectrum games that are like that, you can't even play them. That deserves a 0 I'd say.



I love those who are ranked the same as you in a game like Rocket League just to tell you how you suck in the game and how you should delete it, how it's not possible to win with you and how he/she would always win without people like you.

Like "sure, we both have 500 hours and thousands of matches and are the same rank, you are definitely a much better player on average and had only bad luck with your teammates"

Well ZX Spectrum had its programs and games on tapes, so you can argue that the delivery guy had a magnet in his pocket, and the game actually deserves a GOTY ;) My friend had his C64 on his 26’ TV set, and his library on its back, and some of his tapes got fried ;)
