I found that almost every single flaw he pointed out in his review is true, but that does not make his review "good" or "honest".
It is really easy to hate DA2 and it's lower level of craftsmanship, but Gamecritic's review simply ignored all the good aspects of the game, few as they were, and purely fixiated on the bad things. This is not something which should not be acceptable in a legitimate review.
To me, it seemed the author was more busy venting out his frustration at the game than giving it a fair and accurate review. It hardly matters that he pointed out almost every flaw in the game; there is a difference between a review and a "list of things I hate". A good review is suppose to give everyone, particular those who know absolutely nothing about the game, a fair assesment of the game's strengths and weaknesses. This particular review does absolutely none of that. A good criticism which accurately details the flaws, but definitely not a good review.

But they evidently need fanboys to protect them from scary people like you and me.

Totally agree with Brad. Though the 2.5 is very low, it's good to see a critic totally speak his mind without fear of publisher repercussions.

Nope, they don't need that, either.

I don't understand people saying it's "too negative" and therefore "not balanced".
Why does a review have to, by law, try to say good things about a game? He obviously just really really hated it. Does that make his review not a valid review? Of course not.
I hated DA2. Yeah alright there were some things that were good about it but come on, I should NOT have to FISH for things to like in a game.
When the negatives out weight the positives so much, that it actually makes it a chore to play (which is what it was for me) then the game doesn't deserve to be praised for anything. It deserves to get low scores, which should send a message to the dev saying "Your product. It's not good. Change it!"
This is especially true when the game is a sequel to such a great game in the first place. You cannot avoid the feeling of thinking "Why Bioware...just why..." and of course that's an emotional response. Normally I would say keep these kinds of emotions out of a review, but in this case, SO many of the gaming public felt this way, that this emotion is understood by a lot of people reading the review. So in that sense, I feel that this emotion is a valid aspect of the criticism.

And
why do you care if Person X decides to respond to your posts out of
their own free will? You can hide behind "oh, they are just a blind
fanboy" all you want, but all that does is foster a lack of conversation
in the forums.

Don't look at the score--read the review. The review is dead on. The score is just a number that's tacked on--it doesn't mean a thing.

The fact that you liked some of the game isn't enough to see the flaws in a review which does nothing but bashes it? What will new players think, if they never played a DA or Bioware title before? Are you really going to justify to them, "this game is so terrible that it makes bad games look good and deserves a 2/10"?
Telling Bioware "you made a very poor game" is enough. You don't need to tell them they screwed up so horribly that no one should even give their a game a try.
and your post of" I somehow doubt that companies need their official forums to tell them about reviews of their product." doesn't add anything ether.

Yes. I know. I just thought the preceeding post was rather presumptuous.

A 2.5 score is simply absurd, and destroys any credibility this "critic" has.

many people praise psychos and cults as well point being? people can be wrong just like his opinion a 2.5 is a score left for games unplayable, broken, bugged beyond belief, full of crashes etc. that review you posted is idiotic and brainless. just saying

The score is not "Did i like it?" the score is supposed to be "Is it good?"As I said above, if I liked 1 thing and hated 3 others, and I kept feeling like this throughout the entire game, then it is not absurd at all it is completely accurate.

There is a fundamental difference which is irrelevant to laypeople like us, but critical to a professional.
His inability to seperate those two makes him an incompetant reviewer.
