Just based on reading these reviews (never played the game nor really care to) I gotta wonder at their rating systems. Something just seems off and Im not sure what it is.
Take the IGN review, they sure make it sound better than the score they gave. I wonder if this is a new trend in scoring maybe? We will find out soon! |
I think it's a trend of outlets trying to be harsher to attract more hits. Remember how Edge was well-known for their harsh reviews? How many hits does the guy who constantly gives Sony games 2/10 or 3/10 got from those reviews? Pretty sure it's more than if he gave the game the regular 8/10 or 9/10.

I would welcome harsher reviews moving forward (No one will EVER convince me that GTA IV deserved 10s.....) One of the reviews I read was literally "We love the game, but it is not what we wanted so we are going to score it poorly" Really not sure which one it was, but I hope that is NOT the trend of reviews moving forward.

I agree with you (and I said the exact same thing about GTA IV). The issue is the constant bias and conflict on interest in the gaming media.
