It was? I wasn't really following the hype for this beyond this thread. Compared to shit like NMS this seemed to have very weak marketing for an AAA production. Minus that dumb live action trailer I guess.
What hypocrites? Who's being hypocritical? Show me!
The people who claim that "metacritic score is meaningless" only when they don't like what they are showing. This applies to all arguments, by the way. You don't get to use something when it suits you and then ignore it when that same thing is inconvenient.

Sure, all these ratings - Steam score, Metacritic and all the other shit - are completely retarded and useless. Been saying that for years.

Except one case - big "journos" are known to suck AAA dick so when a big, expensive, dorrito laden game arrives and even mainstream "jornous" shit on it, you know it's bad. Really bad. That's the only case where gaym journalism is useful.

EA appears to have ordered "62% Cocoa" chocolate bars, to mock the game's 62% Metascore.

It is and it isnt, its hard to take critic reviews as serious and user reviews can be tainted but they do tell a story, usually critic reviews dont leave the mid 80's/90's range so when they get low its often a indication something is rather wrong with it when it comes to heavily marketed titles because they dont give a low score to then.

I haven't seen any doritos yet. If I had it would be a different story. But here, what we have is journos being retarded journos as usual, the only difference is that people don't like EA.
If Gerstmann complained about the "grind" and "large roadblock" in Dark Souls or whatever it would raise a shitstorm of fanboys screaming "git gud". But since people don't like EA it's okay that they are incompetent fucks.

Having morons "on your side" is never a good thing.

Milk "chocolate" is like 80 grams of sugar in 100 grams of "chocolate". No wonder the country is so fat. Teh raising see levels my dick. It's the continent being crushed back into the sea.

I dunno, they praise mediocre games constantly so it doesn't really mean anything to me anymore, I expect an ulterior motive like bandwagoning or a bounced check (well this is EA so more like the check never arrived). It's like the village liar suddenly abandoning his usual clownish grin and getting a very serious look on his face before he says something. Maybe he's telling the truth this time, but I'm gonna ask someone else first.

Honestly they should've removed that fucking fort in the first place, having to load in and walk around just wastes more time. Couldn't care less about downgrades in there.

Milk chocolate is probably the reason 85% of people is diabetic.

The better choice is raw unprocessed pure cacao powder, so basically 100% with zero sugar.

The way Anthem is going, EA will be eating 30% "chocolate" flavored bars of compressed fat, corn syrup and sugar soon.
