| Garcian Smith said: It's getting bad reviews across the board, it seems. Ah well; guess we'll have to wait for a good offering from Atlus. @tombi123: And PS3 fanboys listed Lair as a "AAA game" prior to its being released. Seems like the count's down for fanboys across the board. =P |
I don't think anyone has ever kidded themselves about Operation: Darkness in terms of how awesome it was going to be. It's like EDF2017 - far from perfect, but is great if you like the genre.
Good example of the hate for certain genres (which are very similar to O:D):

IGN gave Dai Senryaku 7 for PS2 (the budget version with all kinds of new addons), a 4.3.
Dai Senryaku 7 was one of the BEST tile-based strategy games out there. It's old school, but it's robust, tons of strategy/depth, fun, and customizable (a rarity for console strategy games)....Yet IGN blasted it at 4.3
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
