I am not saying there are no troll reviewers, what I am saying is a 7 is not a troll score. A 7 is actually considered an average/good score and there is nothing wrong with that number. What's the point in having multiple different outlets doing reviews just so they can all give the same score.. than there is no real point. Just pick your favourite outlet and go by there score, you don't need every reviewer to agree with your own views.

I admit I didn't read the 7/10 reviews, I don't need to, however you are the one trying to criticize the review scores, maybe you need to read them yourself before jumping on the negative band wagon. I am still curious as to know why you think the game is better than the 7s when you haven't actually played it. Unless you are a reviewer yourself, you don't really have an opinion on someone else's work since its not your field.

A troll review would be the 4/10 given to Uncharted 4 or the 2/10 given to Halo 4 and Forza Horizon 2. They are questionable review scores, not a 7/10. Heck if they were trolling, they would give the game a lot worse than a 7.

I asked about the review scores on these game not in general. A 4 could be a serious review depending on the game.

You are discussing something else.

I already told you what those reviewers touched, but you aren`t looking at they. Plus seems like you don`t get that the real point of a troll is not be perceived as one. Or perhaps you do but act as if you don`t.

A game that averages in the 80s, a 60 score could very well be reasonable. A game that averages 60 a 30 could be ok. It isn`t about the number in absolute but how it diverges of the average and the reasons for so

I actually agree with you in a way, I do believe reviewers need to base a game off its technical merits. Someone that hates JRPGs shouldn't just give a game a 2/10 just because they don't like the genre.. to an extent. I believe a reviewer should discuss a percentage of the game based off its merits and a small percentage off there own opinion if they personally like it or not as well. Giving a game a 7 is far from a bad score and maybe lower than the average for this game however the 7 is obviously giving the game credit in the fields it does right as well, they just fall a little harder on things they didn't like about the game compared to others and that's okay.

If all reviewers base their reviews only on the technical aspects of the games and how well they are engineered without having a personal taste or opinion added to there own scores than it defeats the purpose of having 100 reviewers as the scores will all be the same. Regardless, this game scored incredibly well, I don't know many people who would complain about a 90+ score.
