This is exactly the point I was trying to get across in my last post. Sure there a bit biased,but did that stop your enjoyment of the last of us game? Why did that make you angry? gaming sites and people can be biased all they want,but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it and it's not going to stop me from enjoying the types of games I enjoy. 

People won't buy The Last of Us based on this and they really really really really should

What?? Do you honestly believe that? You think that somone who was interested in The Last of Us is not going to buy it because of Polygons review?? Seriously? When did polygon become the end all be all of game journalism? If EVERY other site and publication is giving the game a 10 then why on earth is the one mediocre review the one that you harp on?

I don't respect it but I understand the child like need for validation that some gamers have... but isn't near universal praise validation enough? Why does the one outlier become the one you concentrate on? This isn't a situation where you like a game and all the reviews trash it or where you hate a game and all the reviews praise it (this happened to me with GTAIV). Most everybody agrees with your opinion so what more do you want?? Does every single review have to be exactly the same? Isn't it entirely possible that someone genuinely didn't like it as much as you or everyone else?

It will probably influence some people. It is not a good website, but it seems to be quite popular. I just hope people stop reading it. The Last of Us was one particular problem and if it was a one off, I would manage, but most of what the publish is nonsense
