The howlongtobeat isn't yet accurate. Only 81 people were polled. It took me 70 hours to beat the game, and I only have 20% of the content of the game completed after beating it. But in comparison, do you think a review in which all one does is Skyrim's main quest (https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=9859) is accurate? 

 

Wait..... are you suggesting he rushed through the game if he finished it in under 40hrs because he gave it a 7/10?

So what about all the other reviewers that gave it a 10/10 having played it in the same amount of time? Did they rush it too?

This is just funny to me, just a week or two earlier when Horizons reviews came out and people were up in arms over some outliner reviews that was dismissed by many here. How quckly the tables have turned.

Its his opnion of the game, and anyone with a lick of sense seeing what the majority of the other reviewers scored the game will see this as nothing more than an outliner review. This is exactly why some of us said during the horizon review fiasco that outliner reviews shouldn't be considered. I am guessing right now that line of thought is more agreeable.

I am suggesting that he has some factually dubious claims about the game's content which likely exist because he rushed through it.  If you followed his playtime,it was clear that the bulk of his dedicated time to the game was in a two day period (March 9th to March 11th.) As for the other reviewers, if that is all they played then they sure did rush through it, but unless it made them believe factually incorrect claims about the content that they played (or didn't play), it doesn't fit with my criticism. 

 I don't know if you noticed or not, but I didn't even post disagreeing with your thread about Horizon's reviews, because I have not yet played the game to judge if the tower complaint is fair or not. From what you described in that thread, it seemed as if the towers weren't ubisoft ripoffs and that particular criticism was unfair. In fact, I have stayed away from Horizon threads in general because I want to experience the game for myself without reviewers influencing me (as I tend to do with new IP's.)
