Well your points kind of don't count in this particular situation. Polygon is adhering to negative tactics and banning people in its forum for no reason.
Its kind of a big issue now and facing criticism not for their judgement but illogical comments.
The review kind of starts like this:
"The Last of Us made me feel sick to my stomach"....
If somebody wants to criticize, then some valid points has to be made. Not idiotic comments like the above. The reviewer must be smoking weed at the time of writing or must be in complete depression or something. The review honestly was hilarious and it made me laugh a number of times. It was extremely short too. The way he has depicted violence, seems to be written by a teenager hiding behind a bush to avoid bullies. lol
Check this out:

Jeff Rubenstein mad at Polygon: ''The Last Of Us Worst Reviewed Game Of Month thus far...Right'' | N4G
The Microsoft story is also in contention according to several writers:
Microsoft paid Polygon $750,000 to make their documentary
Microsoft is rumored to be funding that site. So you can't deny them plainly.

^ Did you even read my "points" before dismissing them as irrelevant? I said there was a fair amount of nitpicking, but there were some good, valid criticism regarding the AI. The game should have been 8-8.5 if you remove the nitpicking, 9/10 at the most. A few bad points does not mean the whole review is bad, or that the site is biased.
Who cares if M$ gave Polygon a certain amount of money. I have already given the average Metacritic scores for the exclusives which clearly proves that Polygon has no conceivable bias against PS3. You expect people to believe that a site is biased based on some "rumors", when statistical evidence clearly states otherwise?
And the forum moderators are volunteers, they are not paid by Polygon.

Actually i read his AI points as well. They were plainly absurd. I said your points don't count in this particular situation and not in a general perspective.
You should stop reading between lines mate.
That review was extremely short too. Did not cover each and every aspect. The only review which although not negative but has valid justifications is this:
The Last of Us Review - GameSpot.com
They gave it an 8 stating that supporting characters aren't sympathetic and more harsh. This kind of breaks the emotional flow at certain instances.
People will buy this and thus game spot did not receive any public criticism.They still termed the game as great.
But the polygon guy was a complete moron. Did the same thing with ni-no-kuni and was the same reviewer.
The statistics you provided doesn't throw much light either. The guy has taken games of ps3 which have a relative low metacritic score and compared its average with polygon.
Polygon hasn't reviewed games like gow 3 and uncharted series either. They are pretty new in the picture. People sometimes do things like this to get attention and nothing more.

Hope someone ports this for the pc some day in the distant futureThough its almost a sure bet that it will never happen -_-
Or would have to satisfy myself with lets play videos :\
Get a Ps3 mate.

The fact that Polygon's review starts off with such idiotic line totally destroys their credibility. Ignore the morons.
EDIT - Just read first three paragraphs from that review, and damn, the writer is one sad mofo, god bless him. I guess he hates his life so much that he puking the frustration all over the review.

The fact that ps3 fanboys go berserk whenever their exclusive game does not get a 10(You should have seen the madness on IVG after the reviews for GoW:A came out 
) makes me wonder whether Polygon is paid off by MS or is this the usual Fanboy Rage
Only available on the PSN store
Isn't this great? A guy who doesn't own a ps3 knows more about a ps3 than a ps3 owner

Happens all the time, one of the TDKR reviewers on RT got death threats for giving a bad review. But the funny thing is, majority of the reviews which get this fanboy bit-ching always sound so ignorant, they seem like the writer's frustrated of his/her own problems. When are these people gonna realize that not every game is for them, and they have to judge them by the game's own merit?

Exactly mate. At least someone imbibed the same thing as i did after reading that pathetic review. No wonder people are going berserk.
Nevertheless as you said, morons should be ignored. Who cares about that useless writer when people get to cherish such masterpieces. I wonder what is naughty dog's secret?

If they had freedom,We would have TLOU on PC
Creative* freedom that is. Admit it, Sony is possibly the only publisher/producer in the console business who doesn't pull down the developers to a disgusting level, like Microsoft did with Rare.

Freedom here depicts to give full support in form of sdk's and time to carefully study the architecture and get over the shortcomings.
Cyborg is right here. All sony exclusives has this shine and they might have had ample time to carefully study the cell and code on it.
Sony would have provided all necessary inputs on their part, in order to optimize for cell which other third party developers in the earlier cycle had failed.
Freedom does not mean going multiplatform. And the last thing sony will do is to support a Microsoft platform.

Oh NO NO NO!! Don't go that deep, please!. I just meant that Sony let ND do their $hit rather than forcing them to commercialize the game too much, otherwise, you can imagine what Last of Us would have looked and played like.
Let me try,
Post apocalyptic world, looks brownish/grey, ton of doom and gloom everywhere, skycrapers falling down, lot of explosions. Joel is a badass fast action super hero, weapon ammo is unlimited. Ellie is no more a teenager, but a grown lady with big boobs and a hot curvy body, and she can kick ass too. Some generic cool music, and ton of ads on MTV.
Any of this reminds you all of Fuse? the game EA just pissed on

That is what my previous post explains.
Yeah, they didn't commercialize the game that much. All the time and hardwork the brilliant devs at naughty dog had put up, has finally paid off.They should carry on such level of work onto the next-gen.
