That said, I guess I could understand people falling for the hype of the magazine because of these low scores. The truth is, it is very unlikely most here have ever read a word in an Edge magazine review. They are judging the quality of the magazine by the harshness of their reviews.
It's one thing to respect a more rounded scale.
It's an entirely different thing to call these people good reviews, with inconsistencies that we're seeing here.
They certainly have differing opinions, but the base assumption behind reviews is that one opinion can be better than another one, and professional opinions are the ones worth knowing and judging a game by. When a magazine disagree's with 100 other source's professional opinions, should we not assume that said magazine is the anomoly, and not the rule? Should we not weight those averages and throw out the extremes to use the law of large numbers, when determining a games quality by score alone(which is how we must do with Edge, since we don't have the written word)?
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
