I don't. The Souls series is generally considered best in its class for ARPG games. Sure I could see not liking it due to its unforgiving difficulty, but worst game? You'd have to be a complete idiot to think that.
It's like the reviewer doesn't even play the games he's trying to review.
Then you haven't played too many playstation exclusives. I can think of several excellent titles. I'm guessing you've never actually owned a playstation. Not that it matters - with the exception of Demon's souls and Bloodborne none of the other Souls games are platform exclusive. DS 1-3 all came out for the PC.
It all makes sense now.

Many people consider Sonic The Hedgehog 06 one of the worst games ever, and I enjoyed that game very much. I even thought it had a good story, while other people thought the story was horrible. You would have to be a complete idiot to have a different opinion than the majority? I have played none of those games, so I can't say anything about them, but a review is ultimately that persons opinion. If I reviewed Sonic the hedgehog 06, based off my experience, I would probably give it a high score, even though almost everyone gives it a low score. How is it wrong for someone to have a different opinion than yours? How are you so offended that he didn't think what you thought was a great game was a great game?
Also, who are you to dictate whether /u/bajanorth enjoyed PlayStation-exclusive games, or whether he believes Darksouls 2 is a good game? does he not get to have his own opinion just because it differs from your opinion, or the popular opinion? Even if I played those games, and enjoyed them, and thought they were great, I would respect that he thought they were bad games. To me it seems very disrespectful to demand someone take down their review, or even worse, give them threats for a review, just because they disagree with their opinion. He was legitimately commenting on the game, and legitimately didn't enjoy it. Props to him for sharing his unpopular opinion.

There's a fine line between being critical of a game for its faults and calling it "the worst game ever". How can something that has received such critical acclaim while at the same time becoming such a commercial success be "the worst game ever"? What exactly is he comparing it to? I can think of several games which were received far worse than DS3. It's just patently false to attempt to label it as such.
A reviewer should at least try to remain objective even though whether or not you personally like a game is subjective. It's clear this guy is not even a little objective, and that his opinions don't seem to mirror reality.

Outsider here, but I do not think a game being "playstation exclusive" is valid criteria for judging the quality of a game. Movies arent rated by which movie theatres show them. The same applies to the console.
The only way this criticism would be valid is if the aruguement was made that because its a PS exclusive the game is hindered by hardware limitations.
Otherwise the criticism should be directed towards the publisher or the platform. A good game is a good game no matter what system runs it.
