I've found the "big boy" reviewers to be quite, quite bad. IGN in particular, nearly every review that I read from them is just...poorly written? Positive, negative, whatever, a lot don't really even tell me anything about the game. This happens often, IGN's Bravely Default review for example was nearly worthless to me and barely told me anything about the game dispute being a positive score.
Then there's other stuff like this Donkey Kong TP stream:

(Go to 04:46:00 and onward for where the magic starts.) Where some reviewers seem to not even
want to play the games they're assigned to review. Seriously, his Kotaku guy basically says ""I don't have time for this anymore, I haven't played hard games for YEARS because of this (challenge), I just want to beat this dumb game and move on" and just fails at the game over and over, trying the same thing again and again and blaming the game for it.
I just feel so disconnected from the typical games media guy/girl at this point that their opinions hold almost no weight to me at this point.
