Sometimes I just need a shot of conflict in my life and nothing stirs it up like going on reddit and mildly critiquing the lore or text of any game ever made.

    I honestly dont expect real objectivity from critics. So I dont really care that much about the scores they give. I do read game reviews but those are mostly from small sites that specialize in the games I like (mostly strategy games of different types). I find it most useful to find critics/reviewers that have a somewhat similar taste to yours and focus on games that you care about. I dont really have a problem if someone who is into racing games doesnt give me an indepth review of an economy simulator.

      Yeah, me neither.

      Thing is, "objectivity" is a false pretense when it comes to judging entertainment, because individuals will, as individuals, disagree on what is "objectively" good or bad.

      Agreed there.
