Honestly, I don't see how anyone can give a game a 2/5 unless it's just broken, super unpolished, and downright unplayable.

It doesn't seem to be any of those things, I just see sess disliking the hack and slash old-school genre era.

I think/hope reviewers are finally using all ten points of the scale, instead of the top few. 2/5 should be a slightly below average game, but until recently it has been reserved for the worst of the worst.

I suppose reviewers feel they have to start the new generation somewhere, there would be no room for improvement if they dish out 10/10's already

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Apparently he does not like hack and slash games. It is very apparent that he wanted to hate this game before he even played, sorry but I will wait for someone else's review.

I'm picking this up tomorrow, no matter what.

I love Ninja Gaiden 2 and bet this guy didn't.

Guess we have to wait for more reviews to see if this review tended towards the low end.

It's like the treatment Alan Wake got, however I loved the game. I think it was one of the best games I have ever played. We will see tomorrow. I will be buying this either way.

Did Adam Sessler give Alan Wake a bad review? Alan Wake got plenty of good reviews and received much better press before launch than Ryse has.

...a new video review with a obviously mistreaded Sessler reading from a note how great the game is, while there is a guy standing behind him who's hands we can't see.

Post other reviews. Hmmmmm Looks like this is the only one. Wonder why you would say that? You wouldn't lie to me would you?
