Problem is a lot of people have a 10 or 1 mentality.  If they are taking the time to review the game it is either the best or worst thing they have ever played in their lives.

That is absolute BS. I have played games before that I did not like and played games that I liked. Neither category were 10 or 1. In fact I'd argue I've never actually played a truly 10 game, as in something that is flawless in every regard, or a 1 game, which is literally broken.

This whole 10 or 1 mentality really needs to stop. I think this is what leads to all this the birth of trolls and blind fanboys. But who am I kidding, this is never gonna go away.


Which part is BS?  The idea that most people rate things a 10 or a 1 or the 10 or 1 mentality itself?  Not rating something a 10 (or max) or 1 puts you in the minority usually.  Hell, look at Amazon's reviews.  Most "average" products are full of 5s.  Sure you have your rational-minded people who give an average product a 3, but those are few and far between.  

 

The mentality is also worsened by the fact that someone will go out of their way to speak on something they hate while they won't go out of their way to discuss what they enjoy.
