Yes, but what you like or don't like should not affect the score you give it. That's just what I was saying.

Based on the amount of fun I've had with Lost Odyssey I'd give it a 10, but I know it's not a perfect game and it has tons of issues.

A large part of reviews from internet sites to magazines are always their own opinions.  That's partially why their scores are so different and why you get so many opinions mixed in with the subjective 'review' of the game.  Its in my opinion that reviews should just be a straight report of the games content.  And they should have a seperate 'opinion' column at the end to express their views and experiences while playing the game.  But the majority of people who read reviews seem to go to reviewers for the drama and opinions, not the content of wanting to know what the games actual content is.

So when you are reading the 8.6's and 9.8s for your favorite games, take it with an extreme grain of salt.  Because there's about 5 people reviewing 200+ games a year.  And your favorite game is just another 1-5 hour piece of 'work' to them.

Which is a major problem with reviews. Reviewers will throw in some rant or put up a controversial score, because it creates interest for obvious reasons.
