If games are reviewed based on past games the review is biased, end of story.

Maybe it's only my philosophy, but a game is supposed to be reviewed based on a stand-alone opinion, not an opinion that relates to past games. You can factor in a little bit, but you shouldn't make a blatant attempt to degrade a game based on past games...

Chrono being mentioned, Chrono Cross is always degraded because it's not Chrono Trigger. If it were Chrono Trigger, it'd be hammered. Since it's not, it's still hammered. It's not a fair game review, and I'm sure most reviewers will not give Lost Odyssey a fair review.

How does Halo 3 get such an insane review over Halo 2, which got an insane review over Halo 1? I'd think Halo 2 would have gotten an 8, and Halo 3 maybe an 8.2 for improvements, and docked because it's almost the same game still.

 

QFT especially with RPGS. Why do people want games to strive for FF lol. Wouldn't you want a different story and gameplay etc. One thing I loved about rpgs back in the day was the difference with games I mentioned before like grandia, lufia, breath of fire, shining force, secret of mana among many many more. What I truly enjoyed where the stories and the different take they each had on battling. Yes most where turn-based but they tried different things here and there to set themselves apart. They didn't reinvent the wheel as at the core they where turn-based. By the way I don't mind the reviews as that is their opinion. I don't expect people to like the things I do but I do try my best to share my opinion and if it differs have a discussion. I loved cod4 but in the end it wasn't anything I hadn't done before in other shooters same with just about every game. I love Mass Effect but what was new was the dialog chat and story but other than that everything else I done before. In away is like movies where most follow similar patters of drama,comedy,action etc but the directors put their own unique perspective to make it stand out our different but in the end they still fall in those categorys and people will watch them. Sorry if it sounds like a rant heh

My god I've been cloned.
