Well, as I said in my first post, I knew he would do something along these lines but even not giving this game a proper amount of time without rushing it is pretty absurd.

He's still someone that I'm able to trust when it comes to being more realistic than others but I guess he's probably going for his ''saddic'' pulsion of contradictarian hidden under a good well thoughtout speech.

I bet dollars to donuts that if Jim gave this game a 10/10 you wouldn't begin to question his playtime. The fact of the matter is that we don't actually know how much he played this game other than that he sunk an indeterminant amount of time in the days leading up to a 2-3 day period where he sunk the majority of his time.  That could still result in 40-50 hours of play time overall. Ironically, Jim could have played the game more than the majority of reviewers that gave the game a 10/10 for all we know.

Probably, but I would be instead wondering why he would slap a 10/10 on his critical review. 

 

I don't see how it is relevant to the actual reality we live in where he did rush through the game, he is misinformed of its mechanics (if we are to be generous -- because he rushed through it) and he writes a review where his opinions are based on falsehoods about the state of the game. Now post something fruitful about my criticisms of his review, rather than try to obfuscate things by imagining a world where his review was something else.
