Quoted from above:
"Because of a comment you made earlier. You stated that a game which has a user rating significantly different to the published rating must be treated with suspicion. If you take DragonAge as an example, this has a published review rating of 85. Therefore, quite obviously, trolls who score the game a "0" will obviously have a greater influence than trolls who score the game a "10". And that's if you accept the idea that there are as many trolls being paid by EA as there are trolls who want to "punish" EA or "Bioware" for reasons that have nothing to do with their product."
True with so many extreme reviews to both sides the score will probably never fully even out. The 5.8 seems alot closer to the truth than the 85 though.
The fact alone that there is alot of negative reviews which have played the game compared to the press score and the fact the game is as polarising as it is should make a player suspicious and investigate more, especially if he's on the fence.
The only really certain way you can find out if a game is for you before buying is a full iso demo IMO.
(Which to be fair you can probably do if you're willing to install Origins and have alot of time on your hands. With that 24 hour money back guarantee of EA)
And no need for EA to pay any trolls they can keep the paying for the press, as with most any game they should have enough unpaid fanboys to at least counter the trolls.
