Are reviewers playing the same game I am? (The Last Remnant rant)

Just wondering did you ever played JRPG's before? And with before I mean before this gen started.

After Infinite undiscovery, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey I am not really interested in playing a JRPG on the X360. I almosted hated JRPG's thx to them.

Yeah funny that. Same thing happened to me when I played the Wii and PS3 for JRPG's. Oh um which JRPG's were they then Selnor.... uh yeah I'l go back to LO.

 

wow....way to self-own oneself.

trolling...LOL

 

@mrstickball

I will say this again.....LAIR was bad (but not 4.5/10 bad) if it didn't have control/technical issues it would've been a 7+ rated game

I think reviewers have an inward hate towards these type of things...

 

This is something I've been meaning to write about if I ever collect my thoughts enough to do so in part two of "why game reviewers suck". It seems that, in an attempt to show some journalism integrity, they all jump on a game and gangbang it into submission unfairly.

While I mostly agree with Lair's scores - let's face it, the game was fucking terrible except for the music - other game like Haze received a whooping on the review front for no real reason. Was the game good? No, not really. Was it that bad? Again, no.

It appears that TLR may be the latest to suffer from this "journalistic integrity". It's like these reviewers get together and pre-plan their attacks. Even more pathetic, it appears as if the following reviewers actually let early reviews impact their own experience with the game.

Either way, chalk it up to more of "wow, these guys suck at their jobs".
