A bunch of people asked me if I have played B2S, I haven't. I don't need to play it to form an objective opinion, that's why we have gaming journalists.
Are you guys telling me people should not trust the average score of all reputable reviewers before making a purchase? If that's the case, it completely destroys the whole point of a review system.
Why do we bother with gaming journalism if the only opinion that matters is your own? |
So, I shouldn't like a game because gaming journalists said the game wasn't good?

Aggregate review scores is as close as we can come to some semblence of objectivity when judging video game content. Would you say the last of us is a bad game? GTVA5? Probably not because of the high review scores. Most people seemed to enjoy them. Does that mean you personally liked playing those games? No. But that's not the point.
I don't have to play B2S to form an objective opinion about it; it adds some layer of credibility if I have but I don't need to play it. That's why we have a review system in the first place.

I've seen plenty of people say those are bad games. If you don't enjoy it then it's a bad game for you. Sorry but reviews are just opinions. Some games are different and get shallacked. I liked Infamous and Resistance 3 better than Killzone this gen yet they scored worse.
