      Like, not everything deserves nuanced appreciations. Critics need to be able to call stuff garbage, too.

      "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it...Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it." Ebert on Northhttps://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/north-1994 …

      In other words, what Tevis is calling for, it seems to me, is a depth of feeling, for critics to have the courage of their convictions. Critics in other fields routinely trash mainstream successes (see Green Book), but it's very rare for that to happen in games.

      You know we both agree on that idea. And I see no problem with hating something, obviously! But I do mind Thompson's assumption that not joining in his hatred of this particular thing, and not doing so entirely and concisely, demonstrates a critical failure.

      back when Bioshock Infinite came out he wrote a screed about how games criticism had failed because nobody had given it a 2/10, the score he would have given it.

      Yeah, I love that essay. That game should have been trashed by some critics.

      perhaps it should have but framing it as "why didn't anyone give it MY review score?" is as annoying when it's low as it is when it's high.

      I think that's a misreading. I think he lays out pretty clearly that it's the tendency toward consensus that he considers the real problem.pic.twitter.com/J8Q4cyVV7t

      thing is, we got that debate. pretty easily. and it wasn't his black and white 2 versus 10 debate.

      That's certainly not my recollection of that game's critical reception. It has a 93/94 on Metacritic with the lowest recorded score being an 80/100.

      Replying to @carolynmichelle @RowanKaiser and

      Nor was there such a debate about RDR2, a 97 on Metacritic with only two scores below 80, or God of War, a game I think is legitimately bad, which has a 94 on Metacritic and only one review out of 118 (!!!) with a score below 80.
