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?

Let me ask you this, who's more likely to be more biased, one person or the entire gaming community and reviewers... etc?

but let make an example, i don't like shooters (like i said in another reply) therefore i most likely won't enjoy them, but i don't go around hating on other peple's favourite games :) and i don't think i would let myself vote in a shooter game rating pole, why? cuz i would be biased considering the fact that i don't like shooters.

apply that logic to people who don't like a certain franchise or a certain console.

Thats not really true though. I said I didn't like shooters.. meaning I don't like shooters as a whole. I don't like racers either..the only racer I play is GT and can't really stand anything else. It's not really because I'm Biased. Its because up until this moment I haven't played another racer I enjoyed as much as GT. So if someone said do you like racers I would say no but I like GT. same with shooters. I don't like shooters I liked the original halo and nothing else really excited much to care for the genre. So if I don't like shooters I can't voice my opinion.I never hated on halo 3 I gave it a 8 and explained why. I can't see how giving an 8 is hating.
