      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"

      It was that I felt like people, regardless of review scores or YouTube channels or whatever are willing to give Zeldas a free pass that I'm not, and I didn't. Wasn't review scores that had non gaming sites declare it the best since Ocarina of Time, it was people loving Zelda.

      When I've read his stuff I get the idea that he thinks better application of scoring would solve the problem which is utterly baffling to me

      Speaking as a (mostly) former reviewer, I see a lot of conversations that can and should be had about systemic issues that undermine the process. “These fools do not agree with the opinions of me, the objectively correct contrarian” is not one of those conversations.

      Carolyn, I respect that you see value in his writing! For my part, though, I always find myself initially intrigued when I begin reading one of his pieces, but he always lands at the conclusion that reviews are bad because people like or value things he doesn’t. It’s frustrating.

      I'm not Tevis, I can't speak for him and I shouldn't try. But I don't see him saying "Why don't you agree with me about X game?" Rather, I see him saying, "Why do you all always agree with each other?" And I think it's a very important question.

      We don't though. Smart folks, at big sites and small ones, wrote about issues with games like Red Dead and GoW. The argument arises out of partially out of a lack of literacy, which makes it a shaky argument.

      Tevis is not unaware. He specifically praises your work, and Jess Joho's work, and others' work on RDR2. But the problem of a massive critical consensus of effusive praise in reviews for the game and others like it still exists.

          I think he writes like an asshole but he's correct that most sites and awards and so on congeal around a critical consensus that is often seen to be wrong in hindsight, imo. RDR2 and GoW won all the awards and got all the gotys this year, and I don't think they'll be remembered

          But nothing he writes here is getting at the issues of why that is, or how it could be countered, etc. It's just FUCK EVERYONE NOT DOING WHAT I WANT (which like... white dude wannabe kingmaker types is literally a part of the problem?).

          I think raising the issue is enough for a writer on the outside to do. It's up to those on the inside to change things.
