you don't need to play the game to read a review and judge it as reasonable or not.

It's like reading a movie review and the critic complains the movie sucks because he doesn't like Jennifer Lawrence as an actress.

Actually I would find that review very inciteful because it would establish some much needed context to who the reviewer is and where their biases lie. Just like how when I see dunkey hates a JRPG it doesn't mean the game sucks, because I know dunkey hates those things.

I think the problem here isn't that gamespot gave Cyberpunk a 7/10 (which btw, is still a good score). It's that for some reason Gamers (with a capital G) expect these big review houses to pat every game they like on the head and any deviation from a 9 causes this kind of reaction.

For one thing, why do we paint the entire company because of what one guy who worked there said? Do you have everything in common with your colleagues? All like the same music the same amount?

If you wanted it to be an official company position and not the personal opinion of the person who reviewed it, warts and all, does it have any credibility at all?

also ironic and more legitimate to say you're defending a reviewer when you yourself havent played the game.

I'm saying he played it and didn't like it, that's his view. That's a pretty obvious fact isn't it? Or do you want to argue that point
