Hmm, although I guess it's nice he isn't splurting out bull**** this time, but if you ask me, it seems he's only praising it because he'd expected it to flop, but sales wise it's doing pretty good, my reasoning for this is because of the last paragraph stating he only played it for 90 minutes and it felt as if he was being emotionally beaten.
Now, if you ask me, it seems he played it for a while, thought "Not bad but it's nothing like they were making it out to be, I've played better", but then checked the sales and was like "Dayum, people actually BUY this?!... NEW?!", and then made these statements.
But I don't know, maybe I just think like that because of the things he's said and done in the past, meh.
