It's the only one that counts to you in the end, and that's not what I'm annoyed at.
My annoyance is that people disregard large amounts of data to promote a personal opinion as the majority opinion or objective fact(welcome to the world), such as stating that PSP has lackluster games(implying no one likes or enjoys them). DS has certain types of games and the PSP has certain types of games, and they really are vanilla and chocolate(IMO).
As any amount of data there are overall patterns. I don't agree with every review, because obviously my taste is different and different aspects of games are of lesser or greater importance to me. But there is a pattern to the reviews of games both critics and consumers(check out the user ratings as well they pretty much back up the critic reviews). They simply don't support that there are 'no good games' for the PSP. They don't appeal to you, much like Mario as a franchise doesn't appeal to me, but I recognize the quality and work that has gone into various genre's and can appreciate that even if to me it's not entertaining.
I think someone else pointed out that roughly:
75-> means the game is good/may have some things preventing a mainstream appeal but people that enjoy that genre should check it out.
80-85-> means that the game has flaws but should appeal to most gamers and is a must have for those that enjoy ths genre 90-100-> means the game has a wide appeal and should be enjoyed by most gamers
Obviously those extremely general, but that's how I take them
I think for the most part those high rated games have earned them (I tend to go with Gamespot's reviews as the seem to be the most indepth and closest to my own opinions, but others may vary). It doesn't mean that I'm going to enjoy Hot Shots Golf (PSP) or MarioKart Racing, but for their areas they are recognized for their quality and appeal to people that like those sorts of games.
I just wish we could stop bashing and just enjoy the games.
