Not exclusive to this forum, but the obsession with scores (such as meta critic) matching one's own subjective view of a title. This leads to phrases like "over rated" being thrown around. I saw a post recently where someone said "Metal Gear Solid V got a 95, when it should be an 85" paraphrasing here.
I gave up on scores over a decade ago and use reviews mainly to see what a game is and if it interests me. I really don't care that many games I've enjoyed have been panned critically. A game has qualities, some like them, some don't, and that's fine. Getting caught up on some numerical measure of quality seems silly to me.
