Forums - Gaming - I just realised about reviews

kirby007 on 20 March 2014

This other thread just made me realise that reviews should not rate a game anymore but just give us info about the game itself without tagging a value on it, would make people actually read the reviews....

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I agree. Sadly the majority of people don't bother reading the reviews themselves, they'd rather cling to undefined measurements of subjective quality. Scores do have a place, and can be pretty helpful when trying to determine a games quality, but the score should be an after thought, not the entire point of the review.

What if you just want to see the final score cause you dont have time to read the reviews?

watch the conclusion

But what if you don't know when the conclusion starts? Wouldn't you be spending too much time trying to find out where the conclusion is and ultimately ruin the review?
