I don't like that idea, actually. I will gladly discuss reviews I disagree with because it creates an actual debate rather than an echo chamber where every review that isn't 9 or above is the only thing people care about. If anything, I look for negative reviews for games I know I will love just to see what other perspectives people have on it. Granted, in this case is was a bit too predictable and not very thought-provoking since this is a subject I've been mulling over since the first game was announced.
But yeah, I don't mind Gies' getting these clicks at all, it's a fucking debate, not a celebration. Though I guess for some people it is literally that. For me, the game itself is the celebration, not reviews. I really dislike the knee-jerk bashing of negative reviews as much as I dislike knee-jerk opinions about Bayonetta's sexuality.
That's cool. I was talking to those who seemed to outright hate the review.
Polygon's reviewer is perfectly welcome to his opinion, others just seem to disagree vehemently.
