I think most people commenting aren’t interested in contributing to a community of gamers in good faith, they just want to make a game look worse. I think most people can’t even fathom why they give a game a score, they just think it is that score.

Like, I’ve asked people what they think of Batman Arkham Knight, a decent game that’s very pretty for the time it came out, but redundant as a story, with mechanics which are at best boring (riddler trophies) and at worst unbearable (Batmobile sections). But when asking people what scrore they would give, they’d say something like “8/10”, then when asked why, they’d couldn’t say.

8/10? For a game worse than its predecessors in most ways? It’s the same with Tv shows. How can you rate something you have such a lot of hours invested in? After so long the worst doesn’t seem that bad. Like Game of Thrones. People say it’s the best series ever, but is it really? Or is it because you spent 60+ hours with it.
