As time goes on, I feel more and more that a numbered rating system for games is dumb. I wish more outlets would adopt something similar to Eurogamer's system.
I say it mainly because a lot of reviewers don't seem to see that you can hate a game, but still see that it has merit, just not their cup of tea. I dunno, I guess I wish reviews were a more defined mix of objective and subjective, like having the first part of a review being purely about the content and the quality of that content, then following that up with a "how I felt about the content" kind of section.
Maybe it's just me growing up and valuing my own opinion more than I used to.
