They are given the same amount of critique as PD has had? Then please show me where it is, since i'm a regular at some Diablo 3, Final Fantasy and Half-Life forums and don't even see half the amount of complaints that i've seen here for GT5.
The biggest critique i've seen for any game i've pointed out was Diablo 3, and that was because that whole "global art looks too kiddy" fiasco. I was even one of the few that since the start was defending Blizzard at the Blizzard forums.
Valve fans have pretty much quieted down since L4D released, plus with L4D2 in the near future, they will continue to be quiet about HL:E3
Square is getting most of it's flak still because some Sony only players are still complaining about the game taking so long for the solemn reason that it went to the 360, that's not even a valid complaint. FFVXIII is purely most fan hopes than Square promising anything, they will show the complete game when they see fit to.
If you can find me the links that prove me otherwise, then by all means I will be glad to say I was wrong, but until then, don't just throw things in the air and back down from a discussion.
