Unfortunately early reviews are fairly critical in the hardcore community. They cause players to reevaluate their stance on games. Either causing them to become more positive or more negative. Either a player becomes more committed, or it causes them to reign in their expectations.
Like it or hate it the first reviews of a game are critical in as much as early adopters making it a point to support a title. Whether others say it or not. Everyone in this thread has downgraded their expectations. Now it is up to the game to make up the ground in just lost based on its first review.
