Surely it works both ways: A person that likes TPS is biased more toward scoring an average or poor TPS better than it deserves. There is no clear cut answer, but everyone is welcome to pick and choise to listen to their version of truth...


Nonsense

You are missing the point,

If you dont lke the genre, you are never going to review a game from it as anything other than a negative.

If you like the genre, you can still be critical and not like a specific game from it.

I like many FPS, therefore I like the genre.... But I have played some shit FPS games that I would score low.

However, I dont like fighting games. They are all crappy to me... dont ask me to review one ever as it will score low every single time.

Exactly.  I think it's much, much more difficult to shake a pre-conceived bias, than to be critical of a game in a genre that you do like, in fact, you may be able to be more critical, just because of your experience with games in the genre in question.
