SOME people are mad because they require external validation. EVERYONE has to like the game/movie/book/tchotchkie/etc. as much as the superfan does, and (if they don't) then they must be proven wrong with the undisputable, totally scientific.... review score.
These people can't be happy with a good score, it has to be GREAT. If not, then the reviewer is obviously biased. It is no matter that many scores cluster around the low end, not just a few outliers (of which there are plenty on the high end as well). Obviously, any reviewer who disagrees with the superfan is unfit to review videogames.
The irony of it is that a game doesn't need a 10 to be fun, but these superfans decry these scores nonetheless, all the while giving publicity to them and showing that they DO care about the reviews even as cries of, "X site is garbage, I don't even consider their scores anymore." ring from their lips.
Let me put it this way... I expect that with 12 years of pent up frustration, Duke Nukem Forever is going to be the second-coming... of Daikatana. It will be critically panned, and score much lower than GT5 ever would. Well, short of any game crashing bugs, it'll be a first day buy for me no matter what. I intend to have fun with it as the 6's and 5's come rolling in. Shake it baby!
