Unfair & stupid criticism

I think we all seem some unfair & stupid criticism in video game journalism. Just post what you think was unfair or stupid.


Gamespot: No multiplayer


Shitaku: re-posting an 2010 review


Multiple reviewers: Game is too hard


Polygon & The Escapist: Boobies offend me

Dark Souls, Demon Souls were both hard games and they got high scores. Obviously there were other things wrong with Wonderful 101. Anyways if you like a game why care about the reviews if it isn't going to stop you from buying/playing it? The thread is damage control.

i agree that there probably are some other things wrong with W101.

but reviewers should word their criticisms correctly. saying that its too hard or too complicated isn't a valid criticism in my opinion.

The Wonderful 101 is received fairly well. I wouldn't call it the system seller Nintendo has been waiting for but it is an awesome game, specially if you like games directed by Hideki Kamiya (My lord). What I mean is that reviewers are criticizing on the learning curve such are drawing the weapons, how to properly execute your Wonder Ones in combat and the how to properly deal with enemies on screen. Did they expect it to be an easy and accessible game from the start?

The biggest problems I have with most mainstream reviewers is how often vague they are when it comes to reviews. Yes a review isn't going to stop me from playing a game nor change my opinion but I do like to hear what they have to say. After all they do somewhat determine if someone is going to check out that game or not.
