Now that I have almost completed this game....

These super low reviews are bonkers.

The game is a masterwork of what the genre has been culminating since Heavy Rain. The weaving of plot threads into each other is brilliant. The sheer depth of the choice tree is insane. I cannot wait to take another couple of goes at this game.

Also, I could take a whole side game of Connor and Hank buddy cop scenario.

The dialogue very occasionally suffers from being on the wrong side of blunt and hamfisted in it's message, but majority of it is done beautifully. Some of the reviewers are complaining about how the game makes no strides in making the obvious parallel to race.....well after playing, I can say the title gives it the appropriate amount of correlation for what is not offensive to anybody. It really makes me think some of these reviewers are the awful speed runner type who take no time to explore and take in the nuance. They def didn't do multiple playthroughs which a game like this demands to get the full story.

The game is actually blowing my mind on the very gripping questions it asks the player about their own moral compass.

I just saw an article from Polygon that had similar criticisms as you've mentioned and it's not even their first time doing that. They also published an article criticizing Far Cry 5 for not bashing conservatives hard enough. It's pretty ridiculous, especially for a game like Detroit since it is a choose-your-adventure type of game. It is up to the player to decide how the protagonists act in the game.

The game is being pincered by one crowd that thinks the game doesn't go far enough in it's simile. Then another crowd who despise the notion of the topic in a game because they think the topic needs to die.

Which is exactly why i think the game has the perfect amount which was always going to be a controversial topic.

I'm glad I made up to your expectations. You never fail to come to ours.

Yes I know all games do receive troll reviews, where did I said otherwise? But your construction was hinting at it, and you now it does because every other topic you try to use me as being Sony fanboy as some argument. Again it's funny you doing your passive agressive attacks. If it is small things and I shouldn't care about them, what does that say about you that are criticizing and discussing this with me? No good games to play on PC? I will have to repeat myself so perhaps you read. 40 on a 80 average have much more space to be troll than 95 to be EXTREMELY positive (and you seem to have failed when I explained why those may not really be extremely), still you failed to explain how in VG context a 40 isn't an absurd score for a functional game.

Yes I do know about the unfair meta of GT5, so what? I didn't call this 40 review a troll because of the score, I called it based on its premise of someone that doesn't even like racing and gave the score solely for it being a racer. And for GT you can look other comments I made here, that because of its niche I only regard racing oriented reviews and DF+Arstechnica for the graphical part. All the rest is irrelevant to me since they won't look at what is important to me in a racer. On my personal opinion any score sub 80 for GT is trolling and below 90 is unfair.

Yes you say you play games independent of the score... but not independent of the platform right?

Reviews are personal opinions, if they don't like the game because they don't like the genre than they have the right to give it a low score, clearly indicating that this game isn't for everyone. Which is correct, this game isn't for everyone.

Getting a 100 score for a game sitting on average of 75 is no different to a game getting a 40 on a average of 80 scores. You cannot pick and choose what reviews you accept and cannot. Its rather you balance out the good and the bad reviews or don't complain about it at all. You are clearly nit picking what you only want to read which comes back to my point, who cares?

This has nothing to do with Me, Fanboys, Xbox, PC, Nintendo and even Sony, so stop trying to include them in this.. this is about the review issues YOU have, that's what I am replying to. Don't like them don't read them, why does it matter so much to you?

I clearly stated to you that review scores don't effect my gaming, I just play games regardless of the hate, *hint* You should do the same.

We are talking about professionals that should give professional analysis not purely opinion. There are plenty of technical aspects on games to be evaluated besides "i like it". You need a score on a Fifa or GT to know if you like futball or racing game, really?

It seems that it is hard for you to believe that most VGChartian when commenting on metacritic will say they don't consider the score on metacritic as the main factor, but actually read two or three reviewers that he knows have similar taste before making his purchase decision? And why should any simfan consider the opinion of someone that HATEs the genre and gives her score based on that?

Again you ask why does it matter, as if it's irrelevant, but here you are I believe in the third playstation exclusive in a row talking about it... Remind me the playstation exclusives you have played (and of course can prove) in the last 24 months?

That is the reason I wouldn't review Halo, CoD and the like. I know Halo is a fantastic game, that my review (and score) wouldn't give justice because I almost hate the genre. So I limit to say I don't like the game but recognize it's highly regarded.

All reviewers should be forced to post their gamerscores, trophies, and steam achievements. That way people can look, see how many games a reviewer has played, and then laugh, at the freelance writer giving a score of 4/10 (Because he has almost no achievements and doesn't actually play videogames for fun.)

Sounds fairly good. Obviously it's not great, but considering that stuff like this never seems to end up getting great reviews, this is pretty good.

Then why is a 4/10 such a big issue for you? If you acknowledge that a 98 for GTAIV is something that you diverge from, wouldn't that mean that disparities in opinion can diverge from the average score?
