People's reaction to negative Zelda reviews reminded me of this gem.

This shows bias in my opinion. I do find exaggerations lead to misinformation. 

And obviously my responses are based on my personal experience. As are Jims I would assume? I'm not sure what else I can base it on. But if we're past having an open debate about the review (that's what this topic is about) because I think it's inaccurate, there really isn't much else to say. I don't want to get into a condescending back and forth because that's just not my style. 

The difference is intentionality. If you want to make the argument that his experience was different than the average person's, and as such is likely not a good indicator of how much they will enjoy it, then that's one thing. If you want to accuse him of what is essentially dishonesty, that's something entirely different, and an accusation that really shouldn't be thrown around without tangible evidence.

To put it another way, the difference between the two is whether he's genuinely reporting his experience, and his experience simply isn't likely to be applicable for most players, or whether he's intentionally overstating certain parts of his experience with the intent to mislead readers.

I do believe it's the latter. That's just the impression I get from the guy, so that's what I said. You seem to be taking that to heart, and that's fine I guess. Whether it's a bias or just him going out of his way to make the game a worse experience, I find the review to be so far removed from my own point of view. With that, I disregard his opinion as a reviewer.
