“Objective” criticisms

“I’m a huge fan of their Bonfireside Chat. Typically they have viewpoints that I think are well articulated, informed, and objective, so I thought I’d listen to some of their episodes on here that covered some of my favorite games. I loaded up their Tactics Ogre episode, and was immediately thrown off by the front-loading of negativity, especially for a highly regarded game like TO. I continued to listen, thinking that maybe I was just being sensitive to negative criticism because it’s such a beloved game for me, and the most frustrating part is that they talk about how FFT is the superior game, how many hundreds of hours they poured into FFT, how this game doesn’t stack up to FFT, etc., while Gary then spends the entire episode admitting that he didn’t engage with any of the systems that make this game what it is. Literally every time a side quest or recruitable character is brought up, Gary says “I didn’t engage with this.” I don’t care how many times they say “this isn’t because I played FFT first”, their bias is clearly showing, and it annoys me to the point that I can’t listen to this.”
