Why can't gamers diferentiate between their personal taste and quality.

But yeah regarding the rest of your post I do agee that a good reviewer should be able to see that there was an amount of work gone into something such as a fighting game, but I don't believe someone who isn't a fan of the fighting genre would ever really get balance issues which are clear from the get go.

 

I agree they shouldnt put someone who has a disdain for a genre to review said genre, but sometimes crap and deadlines happen.

It's not just about deadlines, I would say not every review site would have a fan of each type of Genre especially Niche things like Katamari, there is probably a huge portion of review sites who just plain don't understand the point to some Niche games so they score very badly because those sites still want to post reviews about games coming out. No amount of time will make someone a fan of Katamari and then give it a fair review imo.

That's kinda why most reviews should be looked over to see if the person who is reviewing it actually seems to know what issues are in the game rather than just reading the bottom line, I've read some Rpg reviews like PSO and seen complaints about things like Grindy J/Krpg style gameplay as a negative... I fucking love that gameplay, loved the shit outta PSO.
