True. Amazon's aggregate score is very informative for example.

anyone else kind of tired of review wars? sometimes i think people care more about reviews than enjoying games.

I love everyone disagreeing with SOTs score yet on Meta the game averages 7s every where else..
Maybe its not Edges problem on rating SOTs, maybe it just underscored other games.

Well we are not discussing Amazon review in this thread, and i dont care about Amazon. 

We are discussing about most of famous magazine for unbiased review becoming out of touch. 

Have you read the review? Is it out of touch beacuse of their arguments or because thier score it's not what you expected?

And what's the meaning of reviews anyway? To present an argumented opinion or to confirm your own personal bias?

A review is just a review , no words or  argument can describe and representing  a quality games.  If your reason defending EDGE because they are good at building words to describes games, then KOTAKU are far better  because they even are not using score point and honest with their review.  

So my answer,  Edge are good at making stories, like a poem but it doesn't matter if the poem are good or bad, as long it bias and out of touch it will still be an out of touch stories and review, period. 

The fall of mighty giant EDGE 

No no no! That makes too much sense for these people to get. Sorry. 

Who reviews for Edge? Jeff Gerstmann? its like the pessimistic view for the titles.

I dont agree or disagree, but I find it funny how it relates with Jeffs opinions on giantbomb. lol

I think you’ll find that people are calling Edge for underscoring PS4 games.
