Good on him for deflating the metascore.
I thought he made his views quite clear in the review. He's calling it a turd vs what you should expect Bioware with it's resources to produce. I see nothing wrong in punishing them for that.Yeah, because this is what it's all about…
I don't agree with 2.5 out of 10. I'm only about 10 hrs in and i'd give it a 5 right now.I will say it's nice to see a score match the review, if you agree with the score or not you have to admit it matches his review. Too many reviews read like a 4 or 5 score then some how a 7,8 or 9 pops up at the end.
I posted in another thread and was told that a 7 for a triple a title is actually a bad score. If that's true than a 2.5 is way to low but, on an actual 1 to 10 scale I don't believe a 2.5 is totally crazy. A little low in my opinion but not crazy, especially if you agree with everything in his review. (which i'm waiting till I finish to decide)
If a 7 is bad it highlights that there is something wrong with how scored reviews work.
EA: "Still too complex! More streamlining!! TWO Awesome Buttons!!!"
Bioware just knew, EVERYONE would buy a new Dragon Age game, everyone and everyone's mom would buy a new Bioware RPG.
and I seriously start to suspect a lot are just paid for.
Ok, we all know 2.5 is too harsh. But all those 8/10 or what are WAY too much.
You know, these days I am getting more and more disillusioned with game reviews, and I seriously start to suspect a lot are just paid for.
Bioware just knew, EVERYONE would buy a new Dragon Age game, everyone and everyone's mom would buy a new Bioware RPG. And it worked. So for the sheer lazyness and the audacity to sell THIS I think in a way they deserve that 2.5 spanking EVERY BIT!
Something tells me you're not going to like my review, Rune.

I'm curious, why is 8 waaay to much? Thats what I would give it, or 8.5 means a good game, not great. I'm not sure when it became a completely broken and terrible game?
