Why is the Review System Broken?

1) The average should be 5, I don't believe it is
2) Bribery should be illegal under national laws. Reviewers should be offered the chance to purchase games early, but should not be given them. Nor should they be given anything else by the developer, whether it be cash, the console to play the game on or whatever
3) I don't believe there is bias against console, but there is bias against certain genres. 99% of reviewers do not understand that you have to write a review based on the assumption that your reader is considering buying the game, and thus likes the genre. I've seen a football manager sim get points taken off because you couldn't actually play any football. Games should be reviewed based on how much their target audience would enjoy them, not based on how much the reviewer liked it

1. No

2. You have no proof of bribery, just think it exist because games you like doesnt get the score games you dont ike get.

3. The point of a review is not to please you or the audience but to state if the game is good or not.
