Behold, our bastion of integrity, our beacon in the dark, our noble and impartial game critic.

You found a guy! Maybe even a couple guys. You're right, every single game critic is a paid-for stooge of the game industry. Let me know when your damning evidence gets you that million-dollar book deal, I'd like ten grand for a Nissan.

These are the most notable ones, if you're that niave that you haven't grasped what ad revenue means and sponsorship does to independent reviews, well. You're no different than a bought out wh*re.

Whoah! ****! Gonna bring out the homophobic slurs next? Cut the gradeschool bull****, pal. 

As for reviews, I have no doubt there are some publications that aren't neutral and they deserve to be called out. I never doubted that. What I was dealing with was someone (admittedly an obvious troll at this juncture) who said they were ALL, as in metacritic's critic score is completely bought off (if it were bought off, I'm sure Bioware would've preferred DAII get a 90+ score but I guess EA is too poor for that?) and that RIDE TO HELL: RETRIBUTION is the same quality as DAII. That is patently ridiculous, even if they did rush the game and EA deserves to be crapped on because of that, you are either a troll or ignorant to make that claim.

Ha, so because you're a bought out wh*re it's homophobic? Haha, nice straw man, if the boot fits and you act like a wh*re you get called out for being one.

Most reviewers are given preferential treatment, play the game under supervision, required to fill in form of the companies games they've reviewed, ala Ubisoft, pre release review copies being withheld, black listing as per Activision, NDAs, asking for reviews to be heldback like Edios  etc. Essentially play nice or you don't get the treatment that will let you compete with other journalist articles. 

If you think anyone bribes someone by passing a envelope of money under the table you're being dumb. No one does that.

Riiight so because Hell to ride was a rancid pile of crap, what does that have to do with DA2 being crap? The former being utter and total rubbish doesn't affect the latter being rubbish, nor does it make it any better.

Bioware deserves to take the flack for agreeing to do so in the first place, they're as guilty as the EA executive board for being complicit in their lies. Such as "it's a demo" for DA2 being largely representative of what rubbish it was.
