Trust me to a person who doesn't like a genre each fps could be a Halo:CE or an Aliens CM if you don't like Fps to begin with you aren't going to be able to distinguish anything less annoying about the great ones. You just can't expect people to go that far outta their way to praise something and see the good parts about something they've little to no interest in. |
And IMHO that seperates a good reviewer from a crap one. YOu dont need to like a specific genre or game to understand that some kind of quality went into it. For example, I dont like Xenoblade, found it to be quite boring, but alot of people like it. Now I would never call it a bad game, hell no I can tell it was greatly made, just not my cup of tea. I think their is a barometer for quality, if your game constantly glitches, framerate drops, screen tearing or just flat out is unplayable then thats a bad game by basic standards (steel battalion comes to mind)
