Gotta love how reviewers have gone from being the word of God when people agreed with them to biased/irrelevant now that they're harsher on people's favourite games.

What in the hell bs are you spewing, never in two decades of gaming i lived were reviewers ever though of that by anyone really.  Its always been a big preview to most and maybe justification to buy by the ignorant and weak minded.

All last gen reviews were held up as some kind of divine truth by a lot of gamers. Only now is that starting to change.

Me, I've been saying for years that they're just opinions, and that's not going to change if they decide to give my favourite game a 98 Meta.

I would have though GTA4 was all it was needed for people to realize that Reviewers were not to be taken as God.
