Forget about Dre though?

I liked what you said about breaking things down by elements. That might be a better way of judging things.

But they aren't pointless. Most times they aren't as helpful as you'd like, but I think that's baked in, with less than fully honest reviews counted among the ratings. But otherwise, they show ranges and a base with which to judge through your own preferences. One example was when I used to read Nintendo Power. I understood their scores were inflated, especially for Nintendo's own games, if you weren't already a super fan. You could accurately remove a solid point from their scores and figure that would be another way to view it. Or, as a fan, I didn't mind the inflated score because it probably captured my excitement/future experience with the game having similar preferences.

The rest of the time I see a sea of mediocrity with many many games residing in the 7 to lower 8s range of scoring. With 8.5, 9, 9+ games also out there, a statement like this developer is making only makes sense if your game is heavily discounted. So, in the end, I think an accurate score does mean something. The next Far Cry to immediately drop to 20 bucks, or Assassin's Creed, and there are many others like this, just goes to show the lack of care and what should be lacking scores. Some of those games probably received more than they deserved.

He'd give up on Ukraine. And call it a win.

This seems nsfw

Is it the same guy? Or do they just keep cloning and reprinting him?
