Score-staring is also hugely annoying as a reviewer. You can pour your heart into writing a good piece and it often goes "omfg, only 90" ... /sigh |
Let's get real here, it's not like he gave the game a 7/10.
He gave it 4/10!
He knew how people would react to that score. There was no objectivity at all in that review. I expect a lot more objectivity from a reviewer except the fun factor of course which can't really be objective.
Personally, I learned not to trust reviews much nowadays but a lot of people do and if Destructoid was not on metacritic, no one would care about that review.
Even Bioware directors said FFXIII was at the bottom of their list because they read some reviews and were not impressed with the game.

I mean come on! We all know FFXIII is good enough if you like RPGs in general.
Plus, when you read his review, I have a really hard time understanding how his arguments justifies the score. He's just whining and complaining about insignificant stuff. It's just trolling at it's best. He's not even the one who made the preview and the guy who made the preview loved the game so far. They just want hits. I think the facts speaks for themselves.
I'll just ignore Sterling from now on.

He wasn't objective... because he didn't change his score based on how people would react.
Do you and I have different definitions of objective here?

I'm not sure I want to get in a philosophical argument here but I think things like graphics, music, story and even gamplay should be evaluated with a more objective view point than things like the fun factor for example. I mean the guy can ask other reviewers at destructoid what they think of the graphics, the music, the story and the gamplay a little like what vgchartz is doing with their review.
I, for instance, disliked The Dark Knight but I can still see how everything about the movie was awesome. I would still give the movie a good score because I know how to put personnal stuff aside and judge something with a more objective view point.
And I know you're going to tell me that objective can be different from one person to another. Then I wouldn't know what to tell you lol
I guess you have to compare stuff with other things in order to get a more objective view point.
