Yes, all 23 reviews are clearly meaningless... 
:-facepalm-:
It's pretty obvious you haven't thought about how selection bias applies to the game journalism profession.
And reviewers need games to be steam-lined, because they're idiots who know nothing about games...
Have you ever read any game reviews? What's a common theme? The game journalists have trouble with the difficulty. They have trouble with solving puzzles. Hell, they have trouble with jumping from one platform to another.
Just because you're paid to give opinions about video games doesn't mean you're good at them. Plus, reviewers respond positively to streamlining more than anything -- they have to play through the entire game and then write an article about it within the span of DAYS. There's a reason journalists have been caught in the past not even bothering to finish the game they're reviewing. |
