Judging or giving up on a game after 6 hours especially when you can easily spend 60+ hours to beat it sounds pretty idiotic. Opening is fine. Witcher 3 opening was slow as hell, and that game turned out amazing. I would argue and say that I like the first few hours very much. After 6 hours of Witcher 3 my first thoughts sure weren't "oh boy, let's hope it gets better". Just saying. Mine weren't either, but neither are mine with ME:A from everything I have watched. There are many who hated the beginning hours of wither 3 though. |

I used to think that I was cynical and a pessimist. Then I found the BSN.

I'm just curious, if we can't count IGN for positive feedback - because ~*reasons*~ - what outlets do we get to automatically discount if they give negative feedback?
Like what's the tradeoff here? We'll give you IGN, but we get... what in return?

I see BioWare continue yet again their tradition of making all the hairstyles look like they are made from varnished wood. |

If you really want an honest opinion I suggest waiting for Jim Sterling's review. Provided he will do one.
But you dont have to worry about him beign bought. He is on quite a few shitlists of publishers just for his opinion.

Having actually played it for 4 hours, I'm having such a good time. That's their opinions but for the most part, I don't see it. It's absolutely Mass Effect. You're giving me hope, honestly |

Oh okay, Chobot had a tiny role in ME3, so that automatically discounts anything and everything IGN has ever said, and ever will say, about any EA game, for all eternity. Unless, of course, it's negative, I'm sure. THAT they can be entirely objective about, amirite. |

Kotaku was once on that list, and several of their writers still are on that list--Patricia Hernandez comes to mind--but as a whole, they're aight now. |
