Her bias was as bad as for example me (a PS3 fanboy) saying "Hey, Halo is only for XBox and I don't really like that particular console, so it's going to get a 90". For a reviewer like her it's unprofessional and something I didn't really expect from Gamespot. Probably from IGN lol. |
It's nothing the same as console fanboyism. Not at all. It's a perfectly valid opinion. Anything that legitimately detracts from the reviewers enjoyment of the game should be considered in the final score. And her complaint is legitimate. Just because males are less likely to be offended doesn't make it any less legitimate. It may be some people's opinion that Rockstar has some literary geniuses on staff and the game is one big, deep allegorical commentary on society, but obviously some reviewers think otherwise, and they have every right to think so and factor that opinion into the game's review. It's not unprofessional, it's honest. And that's all I really expect from reviews.
