Seems like the 4chan lot got banned on here and were butthurt about it. Someone should tell them to cry some more because no one is listening. Who listens to metacritic reviews anyway?
Ah, so they're responsible for this?
Can anyone tell me if the site is iffy when it comes to viruses etc.? I got a warning the only time I went on it around DA 2's release, so I quickly logged off.
Would like to check out all of the ranting etc., but don't want a virus.

It's disturbing and probably will be quite damaging.
You know what? You're absolutely right, Jarrett. It's utterly despicable.
I'll be the first to admit that I have some issues with the endings. I also am not a huge fan of the running animations, the low-res textures in some places, and the omni button. But from what I've played so far, and I make no claims to have gotten very far at all, this game is wonderful overall. I can forgive the aspects I have reservations over because it seems to me that you guys have put a lot of effort into tuning ME2 into something even better. It doesn't hurt that I have faith that you'll fill in any gaps that the fanbase raises a clamor over.
So bravo, and don't let the obvious trolls get you down. No game in the history of game development deserves a 0, let alone a couple hundred, especially right after release. Not even Superman 64 was that bad. I plan to put up a more critique oriented review once I've finished the game at least once. And I can promise you and the rest of the team that it will be as fair as humanly possible.
For anyone reading this, exercise common sense when putting a score on a product of someone else's hard
work. It's totally fine to score it however you feel is necessary, so long as you give sufficient reason for why you chose that score. The only way for a developer to improve their delivery of each new iteration is by collecting feedback from fans. That feedback can have concerns and nitpicks galore, just be polite when stating them.
Counter-rant is over now. I'm still blown away by how much petty hatred is flying around Metacritic at this point.
Edit:
I should mention, so that I don't get the word "****" thrown at me, that I DO have some fairly large complaints about the game (from spoilers, largely, which is why I skirted by them above). Make no mistake about this; I will certainly mention them at length in my review. But I cannot and will not condone such senseless raving. That is not an intelligent critique, that is a snap reflex caused by stewing anger from spoilers and leaked content. At least play the game in its entirety, first.
A good post. It's basically about having the common decency to respect the work of others, even if you have issues with a certain product.
