This is mine, the dude plays worst then a twelve year old. (spends sixteen hours trying to reach the depths and then complains the game is too brown despite only reaching the the third area)

It's true that Killzone 2 is filled with moments that can handily be described as inspiring awe. Each scene is incredibly well detailed, from the gaps in jerry-rigged cover points letting you sneak in a killing headshot to scarred and scratched textures, the planet feels entirely believable... Without a doubt Killzone fans, action and shooter fans of any stripe will instantly tag this sequel as a powerful contender for best game of 2009. [Feb 2009, p.38]
KZ2 is a 5 out of 10 at best.

The GameBro review of Sburb. The reviewer barely talked about the game and eventually went off on a tangent about the time his friend Dennis broke his thumb.

There's a bunch of IGN articles now praising Alien Isolation so I bet the author feels like a moron ;)
(Easy Allies) Huber's review for ARMS, i remember that one had many mistakes.
I was curious to know how far he went with the ranked mode (assuming he tried it at least more than once)
This is the most recent one, but i bet if i go back there are many trashy reviews out there.

GameSpot Tropical Freeze review
One of the least creative platformers he had played in some time................. what the fuck?

Oof yeah I forgot about TF assassinations. Terrible.
Didn't we just have this same thread not long ago?
Any of them where someone bitches about the gameplay, but the video clearly shows they have no idea what they're doing nor play video games regularly. It's like someone saying Super Mario Bros is bad cause the levels are too long or broken, but they clearly never held down the B button cause the gameplay shows them walking all the time.
Gamespot's review of Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn is always my go-to for this. They basically spent the entire review complaining that the game didn't implement Wii features like waggle controls or Miis, and because it was a strategy game that required strategy (i.e., "too hard"). It didn't help that the reviewer that was stuck doing it didn't like RPGs/strategy games, so they were the wrong person for it entirely.
IGN's Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire Review
Blew my fucking mind and proceeded to create a whole fucking meme.

IGN's Football Manager 2009 review:
"Worldwide Soccer Manager 2009 Review
This game gets a red card, and possibly a lifetime ban.
by Avi Burk
December 5, 2008 - What sports fan doesn't want to take control of his favorite team and guide it to a championship, or, better yet, a long string of championships? Well, if it means playing Worldwide Soccer Manager, you can count me in that number.
Worldwide Soccer Manager 2009 gives gamers the chance to manage and coach 5,000 soccer teams from 50 countries around the globe, giving them the chance to manage every aspect of their team's roster, field questions from reporters at their team's press conferences, and coach their teams in real time as each simulated game unfolds. What it doesn't do, more importantly, is provide any compelling reason to keep "playing."
Although the game's database of more than 350,000 real-life soccer players is certainly impressive, only the most diehard fans of the sport would be able to appreciate having such a massive pool of talent to sift through, and the casual fan would almost certainly find the task overwhelming – I did.
This is a game solely intended for hardcore soccer fans.
The game's incredibly complex menu system is very difficult to navigate, even with the on-screen help box directing you through the process. In short, this game is extremely difficult to simply pick up and play. If you're unfamiliar with the franchise expect to spend a significant amount of time simply trying to figure out how to navigate the menus.
Worldwide Soccer Manager's presentation problems don't end there though, once you finally make it to your team's first game you'll find that the player renderings and animations are awful, and the stadiums you play in lack any kind of personality or detail. Each field is bordered by fences and what appear to be unfinished stands, which don't have any fans in them. And, when the ball is kicked off of the pitch, it passes smoothly through the surrounding fences, right through the stands, and disappears from view only to return to the field in the same fashion, appearing magically from the stands and passing through the fences (and goals) on its way back into play.
Then there's the sound, or lack thereof. There is no soundtrack that plays while you work in the game's menus, which you'll spend the vast majority of your time in this game doing. There is no audio narration to accompany your participation in press conferences, even though your options for how to respond to each question is incredibly limited. There is no audio commentary to accompany the action in the simulated game's you watch/coach. In fact, the only sound we found in the entire game was the tones of fans cheering as each simulated game played out – which only detracts from the game's feel of authenticity seeing as there are no fans rendered in the stands.
Worldwide Soccer Manager 2009 deserves a bicycle kick into the circular file.
As far as traditional gameplay goes, there really isn't any in Worldwide Soccer Manager 2009. Apart from managing your roster and coaching your team, there really isn't anything to do at all. So, unless you really enjoy clicking on menu buttons, you'll find your interaction with this game extremely disappointing.
However, if you're a big footie fan and big fan of sports simulation, you'll be extremely impressed with the depth of Worldwide Soccer Manager, which allows you to control just about every facet of your team and draw from a player pool that is simply mindboggling.
Closing Comments
This game obviously aims to provide the deepest soccer simulation experience possible for the sport's most passionate and informed fans, but it offers little to nothing that would appeal to a casual fan of the sport or to the average videogame enthusiast. The menus are complex and difficult to navigate, graphics are terrible, the sound is non-existent and there is no traditional gameplay to speak of. I couldn't imagine why anybody would prefer Worldwide Soccer Manager to FIFA 09 or Pro Evolution Soccer 2009.
2/10
what a fucking embarrassing review. They actually removed the review and i'm pretty sure fired the guy.

This is up there. I remember reading a review, not sure if it was game informer or egm but pretty much the reviewer wrote a really short review(like less than a paragraph) and one of the sentences said something along the lines of "I am giving this review about as much effort as (insert company name) gave their game when they decided to ship it like this."
If anyone knows what I'm talking about feel free to post it. It could apply to multiple titles but I felt like it was for something extremely buggy or something like Sonic 06.
A vast majority of DmC: Devil May Cry reviews were asinine and attacked fans for not enjoying the new direction the series took
after telling said fans that "if you don't like it, don't buy it"

X-Play's review of Persona 3 FES spoiling the ending of the game within the first ten seconds of the review was pretty bad.
Any Sports game that reviews well.
;) (I hate sports games)
Tony Hawk getting a 10 I believe from Gamestop will never not insult my gamer soul. I tried it before, seen gameplay vids, and I see a 10/10 game fucking NOWHERE.

There was also that game informer review of Paper Mario 2 that, in text, was glowing, one of the most loving reviews they ever wrote, but the score was 6/10.
People actually wrote in asking why the score was so low if the review itself was glowing, and this was their response:

This is the only right answer here. Like, it's one thing to misunderstand what a game is supposed to be (God Hand review), it's a totally different thing to review a Football Manager game and then criticize it for being a manager game.
Also this one, but it's not in english so you can't understand
his biggest criticism about the game:
- "lack of fast travel" -> it's available on each town.
- "the fact that you can't change character" -> you can at the inn.

and that's why you should never trust western reviews about JRPGs lol
I humbly disagree.
ORAS rank among the top-five Pokemon games of all time imo.
My rankings would go:
0. Pokemon Bank
1. HGSS
2. GSC
3. B2W2
4. BW
5. ORAS
6. USUM
7. RSE
8. DPP
9. SM
10. XY
11. FRLG
12. *Every other Spinoff Pokemon game ever made*
13. Ten miles of horse shit
14. RBGY
Everyone's taste is different and we can debate what constitutes a "10/10" game but Tony Hawk was a revelation at the time and peerless among other extreme sports games.
