1: Yes, that's the definition of feeding on the hype. 2: "If the reviews agree with my opinion, they're right" |
Except we all know 2 is an over simplification people like to use when they wanna argue a certain point of view. In truth, certain things simply are right, because they're objectively, and factually correct. The contents of this review, are correct. The game is riddled with technical issues. That's a fact. The game doesn't offer a whole wealth of unique content on it's near limitless planets. That's a fact. You will need to do a lot of tedious, boring mineral collecting to keep going. Even the people who are enjoying the game are acknowledging this as a fact. The combat is simplistic and shallow. Not disputed by anyone. The main draw of the game is to just keep keeping on and seeing what new crazy weird alien designs and planets you might find. Also fact.
Now we can argue score. Scores are completely subjective and tell you very little about whether a game might appeal to you. But the actual meat of a well written review, while framed by experience and personal preferences, contains a great deal of information that is simply right.
