      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.

      Outlier scores paint a target on a site's back. I know you all know this, but it's the simple answer to this very long conversation. Websites (and the vast majority of people at those sites, especially the ones at the top) are afraid of their audiences.

      Why does the God of War fan always get to review the new God of War? Because if they don't, and they're the ones who give it a 2/10, all hell is going to break loose.

      Yes but IMO that’s what needs to happen, over and over again until establishment game reviews no longer function as something that reinforces the narrow definition mainstream “gamers” (in general) have of what makes games good, or not good.

          Sure, agreed, and some try. I like to think I score outside the norm. It's gotten us blacklisted a fair number of times, and gotten us the community deathball a few times as well. But honestly I think it's too late, and that with Twitch/YouTube we've missed our chance.

          If anything I think the fandom has gotten even more insular in its paid-marketing echo chamber and the number of voices that count as "reviews" (even when they're nothing of the sort) guarantee this shift won't happen. That's how I feel on my more cynical days at least.

          is tevis thompson willing to pony up the money so the person who dares to give god of war a 2/10 can check out of the internet immediately afterwards to (hopefully, not even definitely) dodge the onslaught of abuse they will no doubt receive

          this becomes a "what matters more, tevis thompson's boner for variety in review scores, or the literal physical safety of people doing the reviews"
