I do have to ask, though, when's the last time a Sony or MS fan ranted over a freaking 7/10 review?

A couple of days ago a thread was made questioning reviews that complained about Horizon: Zero Dawn's towers being Ubisofty. Sony fans were complaining in the thread " it's because it's a Zelda game and it automatically gets a free pass on these types of things", "People are too distracted by it being a Zelda/Nintendo game", "Because reviewers don't hold Nintendo to the same standard that they hold most other games too", "Well, most nintendo gamers probably never got to play those games since they were too big for wii. Maybe that's why it got a free pass", and many more like that. 

See below.

Lol, that's not ranting.  That's actually a legit criticism if they say they don't like it in one game, but excuse it in another.  Especially if it happens to be the same reviewer.  Now, the real question is did they then go and take those sites down?  Start hacking the reviewers accounts?  Bitching about the Meatcritic going down by 1 point?  I'm going to guess, no.  In fact, most are pretty happy about the 89 Horizon got.  I can only imagine the pandemonium if Zelda had gotten that score.
