Right, because that is totally the prevailing attitude on the internet!

Critically the game didn't even approach expectations. A horrendous game? No.

But nothing like what those hundreds of thousands of people were expecting!

I never understand posts like this.

The game had an Alpha, people played. The game had a closed beta, people played. They had an open beta, people played.

Game releases and has HUGE numbers.

People must have liked what they played.

One of the most common complaints is a lack of content - empty spaces, insufficient/poor story.

None of that would show up in an Alpha or Beta.

This and variety, I personally am not liking it, and I know a few others who have the same complaints, but we are still playing it... I got mine free with the white console, but gamers dont necessarily give up that easily :)

Also as people have said, it's not like people havent had a chance to experience it, the feedback from the alpha/beta was positive (personally I wasnt sure, but being a gamer, ah what the hell, getting the console anyway with the game).

As for reviews, Dead Island 2 is a perfect case of reviewers generally hating it, and the gaming public ignoring the reviews, it's brill. Personally people should just take reviews with a pinch of salt anyway... why people are so invested in someone else's opinion on a game... rediculous. Destiny is a good example, some people are really loving it, and some are meh... what if you would love it and the reviewer hates it, the gap for this game is like that.

So i think its great that gamers can make their own decisions without being told what to buy.
