WOW a 6.0

Can this idiot go any lower. Keep in mind that this is the same guy that trashed Assassin's Creed II.

He sucks at the game, plain and simple, so he whines.

no, he is an idiot because he doesn't know how to play some games properly. He actyuially whines about the fact that he has to use potions out of combat. He is a troll reviewer that sinks metacritc scores for good games.

when talking about videogames there is no such thing as a wrong opinion.

Wrong or right, it's still an opinion.

yes but a professional review isn't about what you like it's about the technical aspects of the game.

and the majority of reviews saying it's a great game render his invalid.

I read one part of the review, it seems like he's complaining because the Quests are unpredictable and have delayed consequences. Wow. Destructoid hits home again with biased reviews.

Nothing wrong with that but this guy is a well known troll. He always comes up with these kind of lame articles/reviews so peoples can talk about him.

true, so as a gamer i will take what the majority of reviewers that i trust say and move on with my life instead of creating a topic about the one reviewer who didn't like it for whatever reason.

I love how people say the targeting system is broken even though alt locks the target. Read a guide, especially if you're supposed to be a professional.

There's a vast discrepancy between his review score and all the others. Hmmm...

I don't even recognize the website. They must be trying to get as much attention as possible.

his reviews and his site, which is a good site except for him, needs to get banned from metacritic. Other destructoid reviewers are much better.

"It starts off as a deeply unsatisfying game which wants to punish players who try to enjoy it, then becomes rather endearing, with the acquisition of power and loot at least providing a traditional sense of accomplishment. When all's said and done, however, the game's high points arrive too late and provide too little. While hardcore fans will likely dive into the game and have fun, those who don't feel that they should be made for pay for a game with their patience will be put off."


What a joke, no wonder I never paid attention to this site before.

He hates the game because he sucks at it mmmm

There's a difference between a different opinion and a wrong opinion.

Oh I do disagree, good sir. For example, let us say that a reviewer said the controls for Super Mario World 3 were easy to use. But another reviewer said that the controls were very wonky and non responsive. Anybody who has played Super Mario World 3 will tell you that the controls were easy to use. Therefore making the second reviewers' opinion wrong.

Now if you're thinking "No reviewer in their right mind would put that in their review" You're correct. No one in their right mind would do it. But if they had a wrong mind...

not all aspects that he didn't like, it's just the score is completely ridiculous compared to others.

so there's obviously some inaccuracies.

That makes them better because it'll keep you on your toes and guess what happens next, I guess he wants his hand held at every corner.
