You are still missing the point Red. Why does a low score for a game you like upset you? It doesn't affect the game or if they will make another (that is normally based on sales and the people who like the game will buy it no matter what) and reviewers scores are normally the ones that developers care about not users. There will always be good games that slip through the mass media nonsense and be hidden gems normally due to the marketing department for that game relying on word of mouth to sell their games. You will always find loud people making a big deal about how bad a game is and they are often very loud making them seem to be more then they really are.

There is also the natural way humans react to a good or bad experience, when someone doesn't like something they want to tell everyone they know about how bad it was (leading to people voting 1 on any game they did not like even if it did have some good features). People normally don't feel the need to tell people about a good experience unless it was a very very good one (leading to fewer votes of 3 and 4 and only votes of 5 really getting used a lot.)

Also can you please give me a current game that has had this low voting from people who don't like the genre lower it's game score amd on what site. You suggest that games that aren't CoD or MoH or their ilk get bashed all the time. However from my experience this is not the case, even indie games with new and odd concepts tend to get pretty good user scores.
