Tom McShea is going to be writing all their reviews soon enough, he probably generates more traffic for this site than any other reviewer.

@Hurvl Make up??.... My own mind????

I dont understand

@mikemaj82 the average age of gamers is quite high so I would assume a lot of people have played the NES.

As Dareitus said, nostalgia is a horrible reason to give a game good reviews

Jesus Christ judging by these comments you would think Tom McShea broke into their house and killed their dog

I dont understand how people take reviews as a personal attack

He did not give low scores to skyword sword and last of us. They got 7.5 and 8, this game got a 4. Comparing them is absolutely insane

@robertcain The funny thing is the amount of people wanting a "pleasant experience" will be so low that you will still get matched with annoying kids. The 12 year old population on xbox is huge, you would never get a game if you didnt play with them

@WTF1555 "So I can block... .... EA and Microsoft employees spam"

You really think they would sell you a system that lets you block out their own advertisements?

@ALCHEMISTx24x7 while I agree most of the hate is unwarranted, a couple of those comments you picked out don't really mean anything.

"It's smarter, faster, and optimized to help you play with exactly the people you want, when you want."

How exactly is this done?

"matchmaking system has been "completely reengineered" for the next generation of gaming, using "advanced algorithms" to pair players based on skill, language, age, gameplay style, and reputation

What exactly are these advanced algorithms? They match your profile with someone of a similar profile?

A lot of it is really just pretty words and vague statements, what gamer would find anything wrong with the above statements?

It's akin to a politician saying crime is bad.

Im still waiting on a Sim Farm sequel, make it happen JellyGrade

People like to feel like they matter to companies and its nice to know we arent just money trees like MS thinks of everyone
