I wonder if anyone who does not like violence and open-box games and being the bad guy will review it negatively -- just to be different. (There seem to be reviewers willing to do that for other types of games).

Personally, I don't care for this type of game. But I know a lot of people do so I hope it is as good as advertised.

If it is close, than it should be a strong contender for game of the year. I doubt it is the best game of all time -- because I doubt that there is not a better game to be made in the future. (After all, don't we want the future to get better).

 Jacob isn't a bad guy, he is just a guy who got thrust into a bad world... You know.. like in the real world.

Not everyone likes the fantasy style games where you are the prince who has no evil in him and set out to save the princess and defeat the evil overlord and save the day.  

 just difference in taste, Most reviewers are mature enough to overlook aspects of a game that doesn't fit them personally and review the game on the only factor, "FUN"

I'm not quite sure were you trolling or not, since i'm sure that you know how the tecnical issues have affect to the score. Consider last Madden on PS3 having lower score than the game on 360 because of visuals, the number of Wii games having the "0,5 point reduction" because of visuals, how many games have got reduction because of being similar with predecessor etc... This happens all the time with every reviewer, so i'd hardly call them rating games only by basing review on fun.
