Seems like another metacritic pile-in where everyone who thinks they're cool and not following the herd, follows another herd instead.

Multiplayer - I will never, ever play multiplayer. I see enough of other people during the working day without having to interact with them when I chill out. If EA wants to make some single player content obtainable only by multiplayer means thats up to them, but it makes me less inclined to buy their product.
