Something doesn't add up though.
A lot of people say they enjoy the game and the critic reviews add up to 83%.
On almost all games the user reviews and critic reviews stay within the same score.
Alpha protocol the Obsidian SPY RPG that is not all that well received cause of bugs and silly AI
Has 72 Critic score and 7.3 user score (IE 73).
You're telling me that people on average hate the game SOO bad it ends up with a 4.0 in user score over 83 critic score.
Unlikely except for people on purpose voting down the game.
Also all you have to do is create an account and move a slider on Meta critic to lower the score.
Can you honestly tell me the game is THAT bad.
Sure it has no ISO view and it isn't as long as the first one, but honestly.
Atrocious games has gotten higher reviews both with critics and users.
I am not defending Bioware, clearly this wasn't as big of a hit with critics either, but hardly an average of 4.0 for user reviews.
This is anger taking place and a small group of people decide that they want to leave their mark of hate the only way they can.
There is a too large of discrepancy for it to be totally honest.
FFXIV has a critic review score of 49 and user of 3.8, see they are not that far apart.
But DA 2 with 83 vs 4.0 that is way apart.
Imho, it all comes down to expectation. For someone that doesn't follow the forums, if he ever played a Obsidian game in their life, they'd know it'll come out as a buggy unfinished mess with brilliant idea and superb writing. On the other hand, the difference between DA:O and DA2 is so obvious that the casual gamer who followed previous Bioware title just might feel that sense of betrayal.
Slapping a 0 on a game as a user review just reeks of "butthurt I am going to show them attitude".
Can you honestly say that the game is so FN bad that it is worse than anything that has ever been made.
Is the game so buggy that you can't start it? Do you see my point.
If the game is not as good as you think DA:O was, it hardly makes that jump to 0.
I can see how people would then give it a 5.0 or so as for a "mediocre" game score, that is not good praise either.
This is just plain overreacting and lashing out like kids.
Sure you might not like the story or that it lacks ISO view, but giving a game a score of 0 means that it is broken, that it's super buggy and you can't even start it, that EVERY single thing is so horried that it is a 0.
This is simply not true.
This is why user review/scores don't account for much:
It is either a perfect 10 or a horrible 0 for most reviews.
If you read the OP, he clearly said not to pay attention to the 0/10's
Yeah, and if you USE your head then you would quickly realize that the user score wouldn't sit at 3.0 for PC if you disregard all the 0 scores.
So we are to accept the 3.0 over all score but not the 0's making it so? Strange new world this is.
Those scores probably doesn't represent most players.
Just like when you go to a forum you see more whiners than praisers, for a simple reason the people happy are playing the game instead of raping scores on every single site they can find.
This game might be a "step down" from DA:O many PC critic reviewers has said so but atleast they can also recognize the game for what it is as well.
I hardly think they are all paid off.
This is a game it is a CHOICE to buy it or not, but people think they are somehow entitled to a game exactly the way they want it.
If you don't like it don't buy it and move one, don't be a chump/child and rant and rave how the "gaming industry is so whack and gone are the good ole rpg's cry stories".
Yes there are less of the old school ones out now and this DA2 was moved away from that in a way, no doubt.
But it hardly means the game itself is so horrendous.
/v/ raid this and that I don't care about or flat out believe, but clearly it is just a bunch of overexaggerating people taking the time to trash the game more than it deserves.
That is just my point of view.
Just as the OP says don't believe talks about it being a /v/ raid, I say the same as don't believe the user scores either cause clearly they are out of balance and semblance or reality.
Addendum:
I am a longtime PC player from at least back to 1997, I don't play consoles and I LOVE RPG games, cause of the value and usually more game time and depth etc.
I have never been much into turn-based RPG games or games that require a pause for EVERY SINGLE ACTION.
So let it be known that THIS PC player doesn't mind the action of this game, and I can clearly see it still warrants pause play in higher difficulty.
I am fairly certain that I am not alone in this view and as a PC gamer, then again I haven't bothered to rush to Metacritic to slap my score on the game either.
So as you can see, people that like it or at least somewhat enjoy the game just play it instead.
