So how do we tell which reviewers who give it a low score are doing so because they honestly feel it deserves that score and which ones are only doing so because they apparently have agendas or are too prideful to admit they were apparently wrong? And why would they be wrong? Did the game go through a massive design change?


I would think that the best way to determine if a review is being sincere or not would be to compare it to both other reviews, critic or otherwise, and to also compare it to your own experience with the game.

Now, I'm not saying that if you enjoy a game and you read a negative review of that game then the reviewer is being disengenuous. But there certainly could be instances where you read a criticism that in your experience doesn't acuratley represent the reality of the game. 

I'd also be weary of any vague criticism. Like, I think calling a game generic, or saying it lacks inovation can be a sound complaint. But not on their own, if sombody is going to complain that a game lack innovation they had better explain A. what that means in context. and B. why lacking it makes the game worse. Otherwise it does little more to help someone decide if the game is worth playing than just saying it's bad.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
