Not my standard, Im making a thread for everyone to give an opinion so we all come to an agreement. And frankly Im not a sony fan, im a nintendo fan.Its not about games getting bad reviews if they dont deserve it, its games that also  get great reviews when they dont deserve it And even I got to admit that some nintendo games get praised when they are not so great, like bayonetta should not have scored a 91, still a good game, but not that much.

The other problem is clickbait reviews, even if we cant change the score, we want to be able to know wich reviews are them.

all we want is mainly fr reviews to separate scores for the most imprtant aspects of games, so a reviewer that dosent like one aspect of a game to give it a horrible score for that one thing they dont like and ignore the rest of its qualitys, also goes both ways, average games that get super high scores for the one thing that they do right is also unaceptable. And even if they decide to give a undeserving score by lowering something else to get the average low, we would know, like saying 

the order 1886

graphics   60

story 60

gameplay 60

the average for that review is 60, while we know that this game focuses on graphics and a 60 for that particullar aspect is undeserved and the average is to low. even if the result is 80 for graphics, the average would not be to high anyways but it would still be more trustworthy. 

the same could be said fro a game with a score over the top with probably a bad story and they claim the story is 90 just to bring the average up, we would know a game that dosent focus on story like destiny or COD or bayoneta or titanfall dont deserve it cuz the focuus is gameplay so getting a 70-80 average on thoe types of games would still be conider a great game. A problem is that we tend to ignore flaws with our favorite games, and this way we would score each part independently and the biggest change I belive will happen is not lower score games getting better score, but games that score to high will be lowered a bit, fixing the baseles comparasion of diferent games.

But who are we to say how reviewers judge a game? Everyone has their own personal preferences and opinions. For some people, one element may completely ruin or redeem the experience. 
Forcing a standardized process ignores that different people have different analytical approaches and perspectives, in my opinion.

Not trying t tell them how to review a game, tryng to make them tell us for what reason they are giving points, like I said, if a game like call of duty the gameplay impacted them and want to give it a 10/10, but the story underwhelmmed them and give it a 5/10 its understandable cuz those games priorityze gameplay over story, so if they give gamplay 10/10 and story 9/10 to boost the average score, we will know they are not trustworhty, they will still be able to give any score to any game, we will just be able to know when they are giving bullshit scores. We just want them to tell us what part of thhe game they give the points to and what others the deduct.
