I disagree with most Dead Space reviews. The game sucked and it felt like it was made to hold me over for Resident Evil 5 (which wasn't very good).
What's the one review that you disagree with most?

The general metacritic scores for Assassins Creed and Hawx. I feel those are two games that at least tried to do something different for this generation, and payed off immensely. Hawx is the most fun I've had with my PC for several months, and Assassins Creed remains one of my favourite games on the 360.
I get the feeling my opinion would follow suit with Mirrors Edge also.

Generally any Gamespot reviews.
Also reviews on open-ended games that don't appreciate the fact that the reviewer's experience could be very different to someone else's, thus almost changing it from a review to an opinion.
I.E. certain reviews of Oblivion, Fallout 3, etc.

So reviews aren't normally opinion? I would have to disagree with that.AtLeastImNotFrench said:
Also I don't think reviews need 'scores' to be legitimate. I'm pretty sure there are many user reviews on these very forums that do not include scores.
I know it must be 'cool' to dis yahtzees style, but basically all he's doing is telling us the flaws he found with the game, and his opinion on it. You can't call him a bad reviewer just because you disagree with one or two comments he made, and on the whole I find him to be pretty accurate; albeit a little exaggerative for comic effect
Me to. For the first time around. I played through Far Cry 2 once, and it was a great game. I tried playing it again, and it PISSED ME OFF. SO I stopped. Maybe its because second time around, I tried to discover everything, but meh.DalekJaas said:
i do disagree with a lot, but i go by if you like a game and they don't, well fuck them as long as you like the game it doesn't matter what others think.(but real life things i aggure), but i agree with yahtzee's prospected of gameing like the everything is shit utill proven otherwise. (i follow that rule a lot.)
The last review that I disagreed with was the review of the Pikmin port for the Wii on Eurogamer. They came out with the old chestnut that Pikmin 2 was much better than Pikmin while I find 2 to be a bit boring.
As far as reviewers that I just hate...well that would have to go to Xplay, god damn they annoy me.
As for the review I disagreed the most in recent times:
GTA4 takes the cake for having a questionably high score when it was no where near deserving of it.
Force Unleashed for having a rather low score. Yea yea, it wasn't the greatest thing ever, but hey...I actually had some fun with the game. Take it for what it IS than what it's NOT.
Oh and I TOTALLY disagreed with gamespots Big rigs review!! /sarcasm

Hey now yahtzee is a great reviewer I watch them for entertainment value but I look at his opinion of a game also.I really don't think anyone does exactly what yahtzee says so much that they will avoid games because he says so. Like all reviewers his reviews are based on personal opinion.Onyx Oblivion said:
Almost every review for Bioshock, I really didn't like that game, but maybe that's not the reviews, it's me.
Oh and Xplay's review of Fable 2 and Too Human - they both sucked but Xplay loved them and praised them heavily... 120 bucks down the drain for those pieces of crap.

To be honest, I have an odd relationship with Oblivion: I can see it's potential, but the god-awful leveling system just kills me every time I try to play it. That's the one thing that makes me dislike it so much: it rings of admiring a Picasso that someone threw up on. Might write a review on that next week, considering how I did FO3 this one.Onyx Oblivion said:
As for reviews... they're subjective. People will like/dislike them no matter what you do. Hence I attempt to write mine to be as factual as possible, giving someone my opinions while offering up supportive evidence.
Oddly enough, the leveling system is one of my favoite parts, once you get to understand the intricacies of it, its like cracking an egg and revealing the edible part. The way you get better at everything through mere practicing immersed me in the world. Fallout 3 ditched it for a cop-out simple leveling system that just gave me skill points. And half of them had to go into science and lockpicking, if I wanted to explore every last nook and cranny. Tricky bastards.scotth266 said:
I take Yahtzee's opinions of games with a grain of salt because he plays games for slightly different reasons to what I do. He hates turn-based combat, which I love, and Yahtzee seems to not want to put a lot of time investment into a game. (Which is fair enough when you have to review one a week I guess.) Still, they're very useful reviews, and funny.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. review linked by the OP, yeah that's a pretty bad review. Sounds like he was just whining because he got his ass kicked a lot. You can tell just by watching the video that he has no idea how to aim, move and take cover properly, no wonder he got owned by the AI. And did he really criticise it because he couldn't read the map? Geez, it's not that hard...
I've read and watched so many reviews that I disagree with that it's hard to single out just one. It seems that an "average" score these days for a game is about 8 out of 10 because magazines and games sites don't want to upset their sponsors, who of course are often the ones providing the games. So long gone are the days when you can actually trust a single review's opinion, you pretty much have to collect a whole stack of reviews and then take an average of all the opinions, and even then you might still end up with a widely-praised lemon. If I had to pick one game that was badly reviewed as a whole, I would probably say that just about any review that praises Supreme Commander (which is seemingly all of them) gets my vote as being horrid, as I hated that game. Such a dissapointment after Total Annihilation.
