But that has nothing to do with I said. Why are you changing the subject. Obviously we can all agree on what you just said just like we can agree that the creators of Zelda know more about Zelda than my neighbour. But that's not the point I was discussing.

You brought up the fact that we should not take what people praising the game are saying cause all those that are playing it are die hard fans and thus biased.

So if we can't listen to those who have the game because they are biased hard-core fans, then who are we to listen to?

The people who haven't played the game? The 99 reviewers who gave the game a 10/10? Or the 1 reviewer (Jim) who gave the game a 7/10?

But that's not what I said at all. The other poster said the people playing it have only positive things to say about it. And I said that they may be biased (not that we shouldn't listen to them). They are a unique group of people whose opinion doesn't matter as much as the opinion of those who bought mario kart wii for example (both fans and non fans bought and played that game and it had nothing to prove). What I'm saying is that both critics and fans could be right but for the reasons I mentioned it's best to be extra cautious (not to diregard them). Under these conditions this game is a special case. Nothing more.
