Reviews matter to a certain extent. If you give a 10/10 to a garbage game someone is buying anyway, it doesn't matter, but if you are a good reviewer and people do look at your work to decide for themselves on key features then it does matter. I remember the Metal Gear Solid V reviews were all positive even though the game was trash, incomplete and buggy to the point that if you did something you weren't meant to do, you became unable to progress for 1-2 months until the patches came in.
Hardly any honesty in game reviews and it hurts the consumers. It's just a numbers game anyway to them. Hype the game and call everyone who disagrees a "hater". If you suck at it, call it the "Dark Souls" of something and recommend it to hardcore gamers only to avoid any backlash for lack of reviewing and gaming skills.
Listen, you're a frothing fanboy who literally tweeted "reviews don't matter" in the midst of all your incessant bleating about a game you'd never played, and yet call yourself a "journalist".
A quick look at Brad's Twitter feed shows many tweets talking about him playing the game. And this guy telling someone "you call yourself a "journalist"?? SpiderManPointingAtOtherSpiderMan.jpg
Yes, I recognise that you're so fantastically thick that you think someone running out of patience for whiny little shills sending ill-conceived insults on Twitter is a demonstration of why fanboys don't like critical reviews. Congratulations, you've been so very heard.
I know this is Twitter and this is how we're all supposed to act on here, but maybe dial it back a few notches? We can all make the choice not to be that guy on Twitter.
He actually typed out "your mum is a hot take". ?

Everybody is that guy on twitter.
This person deserves his criticism. I have people legitimately hate my existence in some comments on stuff I write and I just ignore them.
