You're obsessed with Oblivion and trying to make this a competition...Let it go, Lmao. Two great RPGs released near each other, celebrate them both instead of trying to pit them against each other.

There's only 148 negative ratings on Meta...That's not a review bomb, Lol. A lot of the complaints are about the combat which I've seen even fans of the game say they weren't a fan of the parrying system and struggling with it.

I don't have a clue why Oblivion players would review bomb Expedition 33 out of spite...Makes no sense at all, Lol.

Well it was a slight joke but I'm probably right, when people buy something and there is another product everyone says is better they don't feel validate in their purchase and then get mad at the better product. Most people don't have the money to be spending 105 euro on two games in a week. 

You've made a number of bitter looking posts towards Oblivion and trying to pit Expedition 33 and Oblivion against each other, it is just a bit exhausting, it is possible to simply celebrate more than one game at once u'know, Lol.

Like I said it was 148 negative reviews, that isn't a review bomb. A lot of the complaints are about the gameplay, a complaint that is common, I've browsed the ResetEra thread on Expedition 33 and the #1 complaint is about the parry system, so it's not exactly a shock that a few people will hate it.

Of 71 negative written reviews on Metacritic, only 3 have reviewed both Oblivion Remastered and Expedition 33, 1 of those also gave Oblivion Remastered a negative score, the other two admittedly did give Oblivion Remastered a 10/10 and Expedition a 3/10 and the other gave Oblivion Remastered a 9/10 and Expedition a 0/10 so 2/71 thus a 2.8% ratio to "back" your claim up, Lol.

But one of those is a woke loser who has been downvoting a bunch of games for being woke and I have seen a well known Twitter loser accusing Expedition 33 of being woke so it's more likely that guy gave Expedition a 3/10 over some woke bullshit than being a bitter Oblivion fan and the other hated the parrying system.

There is little to no evidence of what you're claiming.

Oblivion fans don't need to feel validated about anything, Oblivion is one of Bethesda's most highly rated Elder Scroll's titles, even the original release sold millions, now they've got an updated remaster of one of their fondest memories and the Remaster is selling brilliantly as well. There is nothing to be bitter about or needing their purchase validated, they'll enjoy Oblivion Remastered and then go play Expedition 33 when they're done with it (and Game Pass users will get both for free, Lol). Finally not everyone agrees that Expedition 33 is better than Oblivion but they may agree it's better than Oblivion Remastered, after all, it is a remaster of a game from 2006, Lol.
