You are perfectly allowed to have an emotional reaction, but whoever calls themselves professional journalists should absolutely be objective when reviewing a game, that's their freaking job.
Well I guess that's where we're going to completely disagree. Being objective while reviewing a story-based game, movie, or book is impossible to do and that's not their job. Their job is to tell you how much of an impression it left on them, either with a score or whatever other criteria they want (like some do a "buy, wait-for-sale, pass" etc.). The scores are nothing more than a metric by which to compare to other games based on that impression it made on them, not an objective sum-of-its-parts that you want it to be.
Anyways, I just beat the game on my 2nd sitting by staying up all night and now I guess I'm gonna try to be up for 36 hours now, lol.
Can't even bring to put my thoughts on whole story and ending right now, other than to say holy balls that was exhausting to play and watch, esp for the last few hours after the game keeps going when you thought for sure it was over. But it is every bit as good as the first game and then some on top of that because of all the extra and new characters, most of which were pretty interesting and well-played. SJW stuff was nowhere to be found, no trans sex or any crazy shit I saw Pendragon trying to peddle in Genmay to pile on the game like those on Metacritic, hah.
Edit: Oh shit, now I can finally look up what was leaked before the game launched to see how bad all the whiners got it wrong!
