Why are video game journalists so shit?

Why are video game journalists so shit?

an 8.8 is a higher score that tp deserved
stop whining, it's been more than 10 years already

video game journalism is not one person

because your favourite game gets shit reviews

Why don't you become one yourself, and then we can shit on your bad taste.

I don't see how 8.8 is a bad score. 9/10 is pretty fucking good.

why did the autists think 8.8 was a low score

I didnt get on the Nintendo bandwagon for 8.8

Not him but I did
I basically bring Sup Forums-tier ranting about shitty devs and publishers on a popular videogames magazine
Readers actually love it

individually you are supposed to chose what you trust and what you don't. Usic metacritic means you accept the opinion of everybody at once, including official brand sites, commercial entities that pay themselves the right to have serveral score entries because they are big (IGN), and bloggers who often don't even reach more than a few thousand views per reviews.
caring about 8.8 is just admitting you never really cared.

Because anything the legend of Zelda should be an instant 9+ to fanboys

"Because you hate women" was the counter argument if I remember correctly

Because they judge those shitty niche games you love so much basing on all their pros and cons, not just "fun".
>shit camera
>short
>repetitive
>ugly
>combat system as basic as it gets
>loses all its charm after theme park stage
>difficulty system punishes player for being better at the game rather than providing challenge
>Wow how come my Godhand is not 10/10, journalists suck!

Shitposters. The real source of the "Zelda Cycle" is shitposters pretending like they're huge Zelda fans taking big dumps on whatever the newest game is because it's a hyped up console exclusive, but then thy get bored and the real opinions are more noticeable.

Did you see what was getting paid 9s and 10s at the time? This was at the height of bullshit reviews and one of the things that cemented it. Also Nintendo pissed off a lot of journalists.

by that very list, every From soft game should be a 70 top.

Dawww, wittle baby got triggered :)

I mean they're right but continue shit posting

>tfw finally beat the theme park stage in dark souls 3
>lose all motivation to play afterwards

>Also Nintendo pissed off a lot of journalists.
Can someone give me a quick rundown on this?

BASED JEFF

Also that game was a 7/10 at best.

Twilight Princess was coming out with unreasonable hype thanks to the Wii launch and perception that it'd be the reap sequel to Ocarina of Time everyone was waiting for. Nobody was willing to believe the game was anything less than a masterpiece pre-launch.

Also, the mid-2000s were the peak of bullshit paid reviews. Everything was getting 9s and 10s at the time, so an 8.8 felt more reflective of the industry's bad relationship with Nintendo than the quality of the game.

cos it's nintendo, just look at the sonyggers getting a boner of NioHs 8.7 score

Nintendo fans weren't the ones making non stop 8.8 threads m8
