Smear campaign...wow do i disagree with that term being thrown around. Fans might get out of hand, but i dont think the media has any agenda when it comes to reviews unless they are paid to give a good review.

If the game turns out bad it will get bad word of mouth like the Order. That doesn't mean everyone thought the Order was bad...just that most people did.

wut. Have you been reading reviews over the past year or so?

I have. Of the reviewers that i read i dont find them to have an obvious agenda when it comes to certain games. Naturally i read the review sites that i trust and a bit beyond that as well. Theres just nothing concrete for me to base it on.

Reviewers are simply average gamers in most cases. The average gamer likes what most people like and dislikes what most people dislike. I really dont think The Order had a smear campaign against it and i dont think reviewers have some sort of agenda. Certain reviewers get paid off to keep the scores respectable but thats about it imo.
