It's all in here. It basically boils down to how his opinions don't matter because "that's how the game was supposed to be" or "the weapons breaking adds variety." |
I can understand some people disagreeing with viewpoints Jim presented but are there any posts that explicitly say Jim's opinions don't matter?

Baseless speculation on their part. Comparable to your inviting speculation earlier in this thread as to why a reviewer would give Uncharted 4 a 4/10.
"Most notably when decent games get 4's or lower, which is below average. I believe someone gave UC4 a 4, which is completely ridiculous. Sure, the game may be average to you, gameplay-wise, but you can't ignore its graphical/technical achievements. IMO, the lowest that game should get is a 6, or above average. Unfortuanely, though, a 4 for a huge AAA title is guaranteed traffic to your site from fans who are going to voice their anger/disapproval for the score."
Opinions, man. That's all it boils down to. People angry at Jim's 7 are no different than people angry at all the 10s. Opposite side of the same coin.
One difference is some people tackle differing opinions head on, others speculate on ulterior motives they have little chance of uncovering.

Sadly, I think some people wear their platform of choice on their sleeve. They stake their own pride and self-worth on the little plastic box next to their television.
I know because I used to be one of those people MANY years ago. I'm not perfect but I'd like to think I'm wiser now.
