My point is that it isn't a disappointment that a game like this has sold well. Any true "hardcore" gamer would be happy that the market is expanding into new areas because a hardcore gamer plays and appreciates all types of games, not just those with an M rating on the packaging or a bunch of other people said was good so they don't have to think about what to buy next.
All the reviews show us is that the game journalism industry has its head up its arse and won't be drawing in new readers while they keep pandering to the crowd that needs to come on forums like these and reaffirm their manhood by pointing out how disappointing it is that games which don't involve killing everything that moves are selling.
For a group of people who truly apprecitate gaming, they should be happy that others can enjoy their passion. A lot of "hardcore" games are extremely complex for people who don't game seriously and are never going to have the skills to control a console FPS. Sure I expect a bit of fanboyism going on and people not to like everything that comes out, but there have been so many threads that go far beyond this into the land of arrogance and ignorance.
