It's not about that; it's about whether one site's perfect score and another's satisfactory one can ultimately tell anyone anything meaningful about whether this game is worth its price.

Exactly!  That review told me absoutely nothing except that its author was REALLY excited.

I just want to know if it's a good or bad game.  Everyone's speaking of it in poorly defined or ill-defined terms.

You poor dumb fuck.

Can just one reviewer be specific as to why he loves or hates this fucking game?  Adam Sessler says it's just short of Uncharted 2's greatness because it lack's that game's "soul"; IGN called it a masterpiece because it takes Uncharted 2's shit "to the next level"; this dumbass here is basically just irritated with…

You are the harbinger of death, Bryan Singer.  You will lead humanity to its end.

Oh.  Yeah, you're right.  Neuromancer works in your argument too, at least in terms of books, I would think, though it has failed to expand into any sort of viable franchise.  Small and niche as GiTS' franchise may be, it does exist successfully in a few different media.

Yes.  Though I fail to understand the relevance of this statement.

You just stop right there, dammit.

How insightful.

It just struck me that I don't give a fuck about this guy's opinion; he hasn't been relevant since the "Muslim world" (goddamn I hate that phrase but whatever) impulsively threatened to kill him over some bullshit they didn't read and then nothing happened.
