stranne said: I read an article last week about the flock mentality of game reviewers when it comes to reviewing high-profile games. Really interesting (in swedish, sorry). Check out the users' votes for those games, quite a bit different than the review scores |
Reviewers give their unbiased opinions and are paid to do so, they have to justify the scores they give. Users votes are worthless as you will see many people just be fanboys and give games 1 out of 10 because it isn't on the console of their choice, equally they will give most games on their system of choice 10 out of 10, user votes are pretty much worthless.
