The reviews are barely moderated (I can't tell you how many times I've read reviews with false facts about a game, poor grammar, and obvious bias). Besides, Gamefaqs has a view on games that's not very close to what the average gamer thinks. Just look at their top 10 Wii games, and compare it to the most popular Wii games today. Not even close to the same list. And while it may be from fans, there's nothing to discern bias. I mean, hell. You think reviewers can be biased? Try legions of random, anonymous people writing reviews with little moderation. |
Yes. I certainly trust the opinion of the average biased uneducated lying anonymous "core" gamer a lot more than I trust the average pro reviewer. The fact that they are "random anonymous people writing with little moderation" doesn't make what they write untrue. Pro reviewers on the other hand, are often jaded non-gamers who are forced to play a game they don't like when they'd rather be doing something else. And they often have a financial/career interest in awarding big budget games much higher scores than they deserve. GameFAQs is by far the lesser evil.
