You've misunderstood my point from Jump street. The reviewing system can undeniably be unfair at times, whether it's in favor of a game or not. I'm not sure how much more I can explain it to you.

What a game does 20 years from now is irrelevant, as standards change all the time.

Standards change and differ, not only with time, but with people as well.

My question is, how you can possibly detect bias. Even if you point to one game and then point to a different "unique" game, the fact remains that they are both different games. If you have a reviewer grading differently for a game that's exactly the same, only on different consoles, that'll be an definite example of bias. But there can be a lot of reasons, bullshit or not, given to explain different scores for different games.

 

I'm not arguing that there isn't bias, but I'm arguing how you and seece act like you can detect bias with ALL CERTAINTY. You can make good guesses, but when you start saying stuff like this game definetly and objectively deserves this score, and shit like that, I just don't like it.

 

So do I think think there's bias? Ya man, I'm totally with you. But am I going to say that I know that with all certainty, and that is something that can be proven certainly? No, and that's the only thing we differ on. I admit that it's just intuition and guessing, while you and seece believe there's some sort of system.

Of course it can't always be proven with a certainty. But this wasn't my point, it was that the bias DOES exist, be it in favor of a said project or against it. If you're with me on that, than we agree for the most part.


Well no, there's also the additional claim/attitude that a game somehow "deserves" a score as if it were objective. Seece argued/stated that GeoW deserves at least a 7 in graphics I believe.

I think so too, but again, it's ultimately subjective.
