I also don't agree with rating something based on everyone, just because of the fact that many games have specific audiences, and that audience should be ones who it is rated towards. Just because majority of gamers don't enjoy Disgaea doesn't mean it should be rated as shit. That in fact is a flaw with the review system.
Review companies should have employees spread across many genres, especially nice genres, and they should have those people review those games since they know who they are aiming their opinions towards. Have a CoD fan review Disgaea and you're sure to end up with a 6/10, which like I said is a HUGE flaw with the system we currently have, because it is a no brainer that most FPS fans wouldn't play a grind fest like Disgaea, even though grind fest fanatics such as my girlfriend see these as the greatest games ever to grace a console.
They should let people know who it is aimed towards and why it is rated what it is, or better yet, discard the whole idea of number scores, because without numbers it wouldn't be so flawed since someone like me who sees the words "Too much like Zelda NES" would say "OMFG I WANT I WANT!!" |
Review companies do have people to do specific genres but the fact is the reviewer still presents the overall picture, for one 3DDH is in a genre that includes games like Zelda, Okami, ICO, SOTC and such, these games have specific audiences but have the appeal to pull in people from other audiences. If a game isn't enjoyed by the majority of gamers who play it then the's a reason for it plain and simple, it maybe the gameplay is too limited or what ever just because you like it it doesn't mean it should be rated higher, they do let people know who the game is aimed at and why it's rated the way it is someone even posted a quote from one review as an example earlier.
