But that doesn't mean Mr. "Average Gamer" should just keep on moaning about review scores and inconsistencies in opinion. As has already been stated by so many others, reviews are not completely objective in nature. What one person finds fun may be to someone else the single worst thing ever to be created by mankind -- so long as we continue to listen to "The Internet". I would love it if every CoDbro would just take a step back and consider whether annual Call of Duty installments will eventually lead to the franchise pumping out the same bland, homogenous shooter every year.
But you're right; the "average gamer" can be very defensive over his/her (more likely his) purchase. Some professional calling a game you shelled out over $60 for "bad" can be a real hit to your ego, as if that person had insulted your taste directly. I hope for one day, when in that situation, John Doe Gamer will look past the difference in their opinion and that of the reviewer, and just play the game. I mean, that's why we play games, right? Because we enjoy them?"
I became pretty obsessed with collecting every feather and treasure I possibly could. At least you could buy some in-game maps to find them. Too bad I'm at 99% game completion thanks to some silly GameStop special edition deal. So aggravating!"
