Are you honestly saying that professional reviews, most of which are PAID to give good scores, are held to honest standards? LOL. Sites like IGN are notorious for giving high scores on account of developers paying them to do just that. Also how many reviewers actually finish the game they're playing? Probably not a lot.
This post is littered with conspiracy theories.

Or they’re incentivized in order to continue receiving early review copies and not get black listed. There’s plenty of evidence of this going on with people or whole companies not receiving review copies anymore after giving bad reviews.

There is a mountain of evidence of the corruption, bias, and uselessness of video game journalism. Their reputation outside a handful of individuals is, at best, laughable.

Now that we know what the PS5 will look like does it really even matter?

I mean how many people have ever chosen Xbox over Sony over Nintendo, etc. because of the way the console looks? It is the most non-issue in gaming ever.

Do I believe certain organizations are prone to offering favorable ratings in exchange for additional coverage? Yes. The Verge has been giving Apple the benefit of every doubt. You may notice, when I posted my initial post about this, I didn’t have IGN as a link.

What you’re doing is different. You are dismissing the strong reviews from several dozen publications, including reliable outlets like the Washington Post (I know your response to this, so save it) as if it’s a coup by Sony and Naughty Dog, and the only true saviors are user reviews, which are historically unreliable and terrible.

I know your politics, so I know where you’re coming from on this. I don’t respect it.

It’s a fun meme making fun of it, but I don’t think anyone cares that much.

In a lighthearted manner. Stuff like this:

Only thing I care about is airflow and if the system will stay cool. If these new consoles are going to compete with top end PC's, ( Hint they never will ), I'm concerned I don't see many exhaust ports just from what I have been able to see. My top of the line PC has 7 internal fans with oil pressure bearings and a custom water loop keeping everything nice and chill, what is in the PS5? I'm hoping more than a 130mm fan like its being predicted.

Which is why it flabbergasted me when people complained about the size of the Xbox One. Air-cooled requires you know...air.

Warner Brothers Interactive apparently is up for sale. Take, EA and Activision Blizzard are interested in buying Warner Brothers Interactive.

Since there's game sales still going, snagged Street Fighter V and LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens on PS4 while getting Soul Calibur VI on Xbox.
