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.

On review taking it personal is bad, so you aren`t really defending him =p

He always does acknowledge it heavingly when he himself thinks he is being biased in some sort of way but can not help himself to avoid that,the defence is that he acknowledges having a personal view instead of saying all people with other takes on a certain game are wrong.

I understood your point, I just meant that if you can`t separate yourself and taste from the review you aren`t being professional.

I know that Halos mostly are 9+ games, but since I don`t like FPS in general would give "a honest" 6 or lower if based on my taste or how much fun I had. But if I were to be a professional reviewer I would need to give it a professional and objective analysis based on the technical aspects mostly.

If I wanted just how much fun or the personal interest someone had on the game I would either view a youtube rant or ask a friend. But I rather see DF on the technical or CGI on the graphical aspect of a game that are done mostly professionally or technically as possible.

So if every reviewer has the same capability of being as critical as SkillUp, why did you mention the 'insane' restrictions?
Which SkillUp did not refer to as insane, but rare. He says they're not unique to TLOU2, and that he has reviewed a handful of games like that before.

You said "most reviews ended up praising all the time". But have you read through most of the 87 reviews?
Because it's their job to be critical. So if you actually read through the reviews, you should find plenty of it.

1. ‘Being critical involves seeing different sides of an argument and seeking to present a
balanced view.’
2. ‘Being critical means finding fault with the arguments, analyses, interpretations etc. of
others.’
3. ‘Being critical involves always supporting your arguments with clear factual evidence.’

Being critical does not mean being negative.
One reviewer can for example critique the gameplay the exact same way SkillUp did, but end up finding it more of a positive, because that part is subjective.
If they really liked the gameplay in TLOU1, and wanted more of the same, or more of the same with some extras, then they can chalk it up to something positive.
But if you didn't particularly like the gameplay before, like SKillUp, then you may need many substantial strides in the gameplay to view it as an overall positive.

The restrictions mean they cant be specific when describing details from the second half of the game, but if they have negative feelings towards the gameplay or story, they will still express that and it will be reflected in the score.

I also don't quite understand why you're waiting for those other reviews. If you trust that your taste will match up with SkillUp, then you've already found the only thing that matters. A review that gives you a good idea of what you can expect.
