There really is no reason to look at reviews at least for large AAA titles. Games like Halo, Gears, COD, Uncharted, and many others will always be effected in the positive or negative due to bias.
Take Uncharted 2. People were giving that game a perfect score. However the game play in that game would say no it isn't a perfect game and I still feel in all 3 games that the game play is very poor and the gun battles are some of the worst we have seen.
Halo 4 most likely isn't a 7. I see a few reviews wanting the game to have iron sites. Like WTF is that all about.
Also Halo more than any other title (maybe COD) has a lot of hate of there from people and would like nothing more if it failed.
In the end these review sites just give there opinion. They are no different than you or I except they get paid. The problem is their is no criteria to properly review these games. When someone reviews a car there is a guideline you follow. And most importantly you leave bias at the door. Shooting a gun isn't broken in Halo and never has been., so when you tell me you are taking points away because they need to add iron sites is more of an opinion than you actually reviewing the combat in the game. |
Sadly, that is true. People like to focus on the negative reviews and criticize them, but the truth is, the positive reviews aren't much better. In all honesty, I usually focus on negative reviews more because, while I don't necessarily agree with them, they atleast point out the potential flaws. The overly positive reviews....I just have a hard time trusting. When an attempt isn't even made to criticize the game (no game is perfect), I take the review with a grain of salt.

Exactly. The reason why I used Uncahrted 2 was not to start a war, but to show people how that game wasn't a 10. However a bunch of reviewers who are biased reviewed the game and decided not to point out flaws and if they did decided not to negativly mark them for it.
I don't care what you want in the game. I care what is in the game and how good it is. So many people try to get themselves over in these reviews instead of just reviewing the game properly.
