| heedstone said: So Reviewers can just print any score they like and not expect a backlash? I give Halo Reach 2 out of 10 because I think it is gay. That may be my opinion but I'm pretty sure I'd get a backlash from that! |
Is that what I said at all? You didn't list any reasons why it is "gay", you didn't list anything about the game at all.
I just shake my head at some of the knee-jerk responses to this piece. I don't think this is a complicated idea to wrap your head around and I point out several things in the article that some of you just want to ignore in favor of a quick half-wit response to one sentence in the piece.
In that post, you did EXACTLY WHAT I COMPLAINED ABOUT in the article. Instead of examining the entire piece as a whole, you cherry-picked one thing (instead of a review score) and ran off with that as if the point of the article was "reviewers are allowed to say ANYTHING, even if they don't back up their points with a thought-out detailing of their opinion".
Oh, and I don't give a rat's ass what half the posters on VGC think. They're some of the biggest offenders and causes to why I wrote this article in the first place.
As for impartial reviews, I'll take Ebert's stance on how to properly review a piece over yours, thanks.
