Forget about Dre though?
I said something irrelevant, mean-spirited, or hurtful and now the downvotes only reenforce my correctness!
Ride em cowboy!
It's probably another facet to bothsidesing. Instead of reducing everyone to the worse offending party's level this is making the more insane party seem like just another choice. I'd say it's weird but it seems like it's not.
I liked what you said about breaking things down by elements. That might be a better way of judging things.
But they aren't pointless. Most times they aren't as helpful as you'd like, but I think that's baked in, with less than fully honest reviews counted among the ratings. But otherwise, they show ranges and a base with which to judge through your own preferences. One example was when I used to read Nintendo Power. I understood their scores were inflated, especially for Nintendo's own games, if you weren't already a super fan. You could accurately remove a solid point from their scores and figure that would be another way to view it. Or, as a fan, I didn't mind the inflated score because it probably captured my excitement/future experience with the game having similar preferences.
The rest of the time I see a sea of mediocrity with many many games residing in the 7 to lower 8s range of scoring. With 8.5, 9, 9+ games also out there, a statement like this developer is making only makes sense if your game is heavily discounted. So, in the end, I think an accurate score does mean something. The next Far Cry to immediately drop to 20 bucks, or Assassin's Creed, and there are many others like this, just goes to show the lack of care and what should be lacking scores. Some of those games probably received more than they deserved.
One less right wing propaganda channel.
Who's the unwrapped mummy in the picture?
A racist cares not about the details.
He lit up when this portion of the first debate against Biden came up. Comparing golf scores. Getting into the minutiae of it. Very important for us to know.
