Gilgamesh said: Of course not In the VG Chartz team forum there is just a few people that usually goes over the reviews that someone writes up and could mean the score may be still to low or to high, but when you get the opinion of a hundred people replying to the review and everyone is saying it should be higher or lower then maybe the score should be change to satisfy what the VG Chartz members thinks instead of what the people that wrote up and approved the review think (As long as the members have good enough reasons to drop or raise the score). Sinse the review IS technically the websites (VG chartz) review and score, not just one persons opinion. When you see a review on Metacritic it wont say the review came from Torillian or Machina it's going to say VG Chartz reviews. That's the way I see it. |
Reviews are not, nor should they ever be, determined by the popular opinion. They are a professional analysis of a game. Obviously people will not always agree with that analysis, but a review should always be an analysis whether you agree with it or not. Some people will, some will not.
Thankfully for this site you have absolutely no say at all about how I run the reviews.
