Will we get more honest pre-release reviews this time?

I was really dissapointed with Dragon Age 2 once i got my own hands-on experience and i have a feeling that the reviews were not entirely objective.
Here are some examples that seem SO polished that they are hardly believable anymore now that we experienced the whole game ourselves:
From The Escapist:
"Any complaints I may have about Dragon Age II[/i] are minor annoyances, easily ignored for the leaps made in other areas. Simplifying the crafting system to reward the kind of player who must search every nook and cranny without muddying up the inventory is a novel change that was much needed in the genre. The triumphant sound that plays when you discover a new source of raw lyrium or a new recipe makes you feel good, but not as awesome as it feels to visit a crafting table and just be able to purchase the Elfroot potions or Deathroot poisons you need. Some players may have loved min-maxing every piece of equipment for each party member in Origins[/i], but I didn't miss anything by just concentrating on their weapons and accessories. I was content to discover the specific armor upgrades for companions that are[/b] sprinkled around the city, again rewarding the player for exploring. "

From PC Gamer:
Dragon Age 2 is not what you expect. Hell, even during preview sessions, I hadn’t anticipated it being this much of a traditional sequel. But by locking down the context – the world and the politics – BioWare were free to fill their creation with more character and vitality than any title in recent memory. The best RPG of this decade? Nine more years will tell, but for now, yes.

And more like these:
(1up)
"Though I generally enjoyed Dragon Age 2 (enough to go for another playthrough), it's an enjoyment with significant caveats. It really seems like the biggest mistake is calling it "DA2," as it's just different enough from Dragon Age: Origins to not feel like a sequel, but more like a reboot. The different main character, the faster and more streamlined combat, and the overall structure makes it feel like a fine Dragon Age adventure, but not a direct follow-up to DAO. Ultimately, Dragon Age: Origins felt like a modern high-definition callback to the glory days of Infinity Engine RPGs -- it was a decidedly PC-centric game that got a sloppy port to the consoles. Dragon Age 2, by comparison, feels like a new console-focused action-RPG that should have been called something like "Dragon Age: The Hawkening" instead. "

I will definitely not pre-order this game until i read some realistic reviews.
Faked out halleluja reviews will be frowned upon.
thanks

Okay, the levels of personal attacks and rude behavior in this thread are really over the top. Closing this down and handing out some bans. Suggest resisting the urge in the future, or they will become permanent.
