      All the more indication that critical reaction to it should have been far more diverse than it was, I would say.

      perhaps, but this leads toward a more complicated discussion about the nature of the labor of reviews, where he tends to write like everyone is wrong but him.

      I'm about as sympathetic as anyone to the idea that more diverse frames for reviews are good and necessary, but his way of going about it has always seemed to be being aggrieved that review scores don't align with his personal take in a way I find instantly eye-rolling

      I don't know how he could be more clear that that's not what he's advocating for at all.pic.twitter.com/G2wiKcVnKR

      I mean, that's exactly what's infuriating to me. I don't care about his personal review scores. I think that's an absolutely ghastly way to demand more intelligent criticism.

      Okay. I very much appreciate his point that there's clearly a narrow, specific lens through which all of mainstream games criticism has agreed to consider and evaluate games, and it's hardly the only (or even the "best") lens.

      there is, he just....does it in a way thatmakes me want to give every game I see an 8 out 10.

      Replying to @RowanKaiser @carolynmichelle and

      the less spiteful way to put that would be that most of his arguments boil down to a prescriptivist reading of review scores, and as a general descriptivist, I'm just not really interested in that. Is there good writing about the game, either in reviews or out? I hope so!

      But...there's a link between the review scores and the kinds of writing we get about a game. If not all mainstream critics see RDR as a 9/10, if some see it as a 5/10 or a 2/10, we're going to get a much more interesting assortment of writing on the game as well.

      I don't think the link is best analyzed through review scores. All that does is make me think of people when that uncharted 4 got an 87 when it deserves a 90

      But fine, ignore the review scores. It’s not about the numbers. It’s about, where are the mainstream critics who think RDR2 (which I liked) or God of War (which I hated) or Bioshock Infinite or (insert AAA game here) is trash?

          But here's the thing, that's why I don't think his methods work at all. Because he makes it about the scores

          Like, I was disappointed in Breath of the Wild. Opaque systems, wild swings in focus and difficulty, inconsistent connections with emergent gameplay, etc. But it would never occur to me to frame that as "critics gave it 90s and I'd have given it 60s"
