isnt it just sad that lying to consumers to build hype and then having an embargo stop reviewers tell us how the game truly is seems to be a great way to sell games... well at least its still no Coloniel Marines =P


Exactly what did they lie about?

Review embargos are common. Most games have them until the day of release.


look at the first trailer,end of story. just one of many things they lied about.

LOL all this proves is a lot of general public don't read reviews or the news on delays about games. If you can market something well t create hype that is enough to push sales

good job marketing team,good job. game did'nt live up 2 the hype at all,but congrats to the marketing team for making everybody fall for the bait and switch.

What's the bait and switch?

Were people expecting a game with a metascore of 9 but got tricked into buying an 8?

Please go on, genius.

Is your only concern potentially downgraded graphics? If so... well that's just sad.
