I think it's unfair that the person who hated FF XIII so much was asked to review its sequel.

 I think a lot of the potential and undecided purchasers of FFXIII-2 are those that hated the original but are Final Fantasy fans. People that loved FFXIII will buy it regardless and people who don't play Final Fantasy are unlikely to use a direct sequel as a starting point. Sounds like he's probably the best person to review the game.

No it doesn't. When everyone is doing it one way, doing it a different way is really just there to seem unique. It upsets metascores, and makes us look unprofessional.

No reviewer is obligated to agree with other reviewers.

When you make the decision to be different you must accept that your contributions no longer fall within the old metric. EDGE reviews 1-10. Theya re different, yet they demand that their metric be cut and pasted into the norm. That's not how you do it. You stand alone, and fly the banner, and let others flock to you. What they do now is play the attention card. If we do that, then we need to get all our reviewers on the same page and understand that we do not belong on metacritic. If we want to join EDGE's rubric, then that's fine. But we don't belong in the group with others. It's simple as that.
