how was it so obvious to you? I'm just curious. |
I guess it was judging by the post history of a voter who would give a pretty unresonable review, i mean a 3 is pretty easy to see but maybe a 7 or an 8 for a game that is clearly better than that would be "stelthier" like someone over in the Halo 3 thread posted.
and by 'clearly better' i mean by professional and amateur reviews, most people's opinion (who obviously played it and not someone who can't answer a simple question about a game), generally the opinion of a trusted person. and it's clear when even most fans of a competing console say it's good you know it's good :)

The problem with reviews is that a lot of them get based on hype alone if the game is a true blockbuster title.
Take GTA4, for example.
The trusted, professional reviewer's have rated it as the 2nd best game of all time. When in reality, it didn't even win GotY awards from most of the sites. The game gained 10/10 scores based on hype alone.

Ya but what about most people's opinions and people you trust? are you telling me you trust no one?! not even yourself? if you truly know a game's good then you should trust yourself too you know
like with GTA4 a lot of reviewers gave it high scores but the gaming community had it's own opinion, and i also have friends who i trust their opinions, they said it was great (fantastic even) but maybe reviewers went too high with all those 10s. and I played it a bit, not enough to review it but enough to get an idea, and i think the game is great and it has huge production values... i just don't like shooting or the gta formula in general, but i can honestly say that it's a good game :)
BUT i won't go around scoring GTA4 a score like 8 or 7 KNOWING that it will lower that game's average just cuz i don't like it... that would just be mean, nasty and dishonest

Are you saying people should rate the game on other people's opinion, not there own?
