Forbes Article on Why Piecemeal embargos are a bad idea.

Good article. Very level headed and unbiased. Still 4 more days until the real reviews come out though...

I haven't read it but its obvious to me that everyone needs to calm down.

Two weeks ago everyone was praising the VA and animations.

(Also premature)

Next week will have a different set of reactions, by next month comparisons and by next year we'll have a consensus on the game.

Shutting down the forums didn't help either it was twitter and reddit that tore this thing apart before launch.

Not us.

Meh, first impressins can be limited. There were a couple of people who did say that the first few hours of the Witcher 3 was a bit boring.

Basically this:

The game would probably not even reach 7/10 on metacritics if it was released today in the state it was at released.

So according to Forbes, we can assume the game will get better after around 10 hours or so?

3-5 hours The single player content available in early access is content locked, not time gated.

You sure about that? My timer is counting down, although I only played SP so far...

What I thought.

The problem I have with the start of your quote is that when you refer to ME2, you are referring to a sequel. A sequel with a story and characters already established which allows it to delve right into the action and continue its story.  ME:A has been emphasized so many times that its a brand new story with new characters and lore. This is as much of a remake of ME1 as anything that Bioware has made. So the story is going to take a lot of time to be told whilst gradually showing the player things to do, and by some reviews out there is a huge amount of content. 

Witcher 3 again was an established game, Witcher 1 on the other hand....took awhile for it to kick in. 

Again I just want to add that this constant complaint about Face Animations. I'm just unsure what are on earth people are complaining about? Why the double standards? People that loved Fallout and Skyrim for example, a company that makes horrible buggy games with poor face animations gets a pass but this game doesn't? My goodness It's becoming harder and harder to even read people's views. This is just ridiculous. 

It gets better Von, someone has set up bot accounts to endlessly tweet the RPS and other negative reviews.

(Not paranoia regardless of game quality one way or the other someone was mad enough to do this.)

They're deliberately drowning out the positives. Theres even an accont that deletes its tweets after a set time so it can tweet the exact same tweet later on without breaking the rules.

I can't prove it (Or i would have started a thread) other than to say I've run accounts for years on twitter, including a popular parody of the immigration minister.

I can see a bot from a mile away, even the good ones have tells.

Ugh I hate reddit when I did testing for raids in an MMO watching them make a shit storm because they were too hard made me want to quit (6 months later "oh they're too easy" jee almost like things get easy overtime!). I just hate all of reddits gaming community in general. Maybe I'm just jaded and a Cynical bastard.
