@mogan: Let me ask you a question about “likely”:

Is it more likely
that a professional game reviewer somehow, miraculously, didn't notice multiple, crippling, objective problems throughout the game,
(flaws which the developers themselves confess and apologise for)
to the extent that they weren't even mentioned in the review even once, even passingly.

Or is more likely
that a person on the payroll of a huge corporation, lied.

Which one is more likely?
Just answer that question, plainly and directly.
I'm just interested to see how important honesty is to you.
