Well first off, I meant stock not stalk. Just noticed that foolish typo of mine.zahra wrote...

You keep saying this. Yet here you are, citing these reviews in your OP and continuing to cite them in your subsequent posts. In fact, your entire argument sees you using these reviews to argue how "different" things are outside of these forums.Wishpig wrote...

Oh, one other thing here.... I see many people claiming that there was the same level of "hate barrage" on these boards when DA:O came out. My memory must be quite faulty, because I seriously remember something different. When I joined in the middle of November, I had not purchased DA:O yet and was still on the fence. I came here to get a sense of what people thought of the game. I was blown away. The masses were not saying stuff like "eh? It's Ok." or "hmm.... good game!"
No. It was more like: "OMG... this is the best game I ever bought!". And "wow! Bioware has outdone itself!", and "this is better than BG2!". And to drive the point home... review sites like IGN and Gamespot were giving DA:O scores in the 90s.
The reception all over the place was decidedly different with Awakening. And you all know it.
I don't put much stalk in Critic reviews.
lol
I know, right.
(to be said in the tone of "Enchantment!")
Contradiction!
2ndly, I don't put much stock doesn't mean I put no stock in them... I focus much more of my attention and place more importance to the user-reviews found on those sites. You might be mistaking my constant referal to gamestop and ign as a refrence to the critic reviews. No, much more powerfull then critic reviews is the user/gamer reviews.
3rdly, I only re-mentioned them because they counter your last claim, aka, your point which drives home.
PS- Zahra you might wanna look up the definition of contradiction. Heres a link...

I'm no more contradicting myself then someone who doesn't like movie critics stating that How to Train Your Dragon has recieved good reviews. Both are true and independent. While I don't blindly trust critics, they are giving the game good reviews which ties into my point, or rather, my question. As my question is why outside these forums there seems to be a more positive outlook towards the game. The fact awakening has an 8.3 press score on gamestats.com ties into it all.
Nice try to invalidate my points though...
