But Naughty Dog games are not the best selling PS3 games, GT5 Is.

And at this rate maybe Spider-Man is the best selling PS4 game and not a Naughty Dog game (U4).

Exactly. Not everyone will love the product you produce.

My mistake.  I took a second look at GT numbers.  However, Naughty Dog was still basically their flagship studio on the PS3 since they had several high sellers.  The same can be said for PS4.

Interesting, so if you dont like a game, you need to be educated in liking it?

First I've heard of this. You are going to need examples and proof here, because I'm looking into this and can't find anything about this basic practice in any industry.

Not wanting to make this about ND or simply just the games industry. I think some reviewers, journalists, media, critics are to blame for this as well as some publishers, developers.

As a Muslim and a minority I have faced this for over twenty years. Someone decides to review / analyse you as a group, as a community, as a race, but they pick and choose the points they will analyse and this often leads to a one sided review.

It's like with the recent BLM movements where people protested, but the stories which many outlets chose to highlight were the looting.

Or when speaking about immigrants, you only concentrate on those who have committed crimes, but ignore all the others who have made a positive impact through their contributions. E.g Steve jobs, freddy Mercury, the doctors, nurses etc. All this is simply boiled down to immigrants are this or that.

It's like GTAIV or any GTA for that matter where the outlets choose to only review and analyse the positives whilst in other games they will choose to analyse all and compare.

If a journalist only highlights the negative, ignores the positive or chooses not to speak about them, they become part of the problem, so when they do get questioned, it's only right.

Class example is the Killzone series. First big console game with mechs, jetpacks, dynamic mp maps, dynamic missions in mp, shooting from cover in a fps but most of these things were ignored by most outlets and then the credit given to games which followed like Brink, TF and Battlefield.

If I was to be considered a fair and professional reviewer and I chose to omit things that could be / are actually good and positive, then I shouldn't be surprised for being called out unless I state why I don't like these things so they're is reasoning beyond just meh it's rubbish or not covering them at all.

This ultimately to me is what separates a good critical opinion from a lazy / biased one. It is something that has plagued this industry for a long time, especially with big games and franchises, often leaving lesser known games and developers on the receiving end.

Hahahaha brilliant!

Wait... that was sarcasm right?

The justifications used to not like the game are terrible. And they pretty much all come from a common background.  

Please people, stop with this crap and nonsense, this is olny bad for you. The Game will sell millions and millions, there is nothing you can do to stop this or discredit the Game; TLOU Part II is not controversial, it's easy as you see on Meta, it's a masterpiece. At least use your brain.  As I already said, You think a 30% of reviewers have been biased going too high or too low, ok just remove the Top 15 scores and the bottom 15 scores, and you might get a more reliable Meta Score, of course suspecting that some media have been persuaded to change their minds and give a higher mark, and others on the other hand would have sunk the game for clickbait, homophobia, or incentives from rival companies. 

 Please stop making a fool of yourself, it's only bad for you.

All i have seen in these threads is you getting offended by others that do not like the game and yourself praising it in high heavens like there isnt a single flaw,and you think you're justified doing that?
