Baldur's Gate 1/2 gameplay is total shit.

That's why I have stopped buying gaming magazines some time after BG2. Basically, these people are just enthusiasts that aren't able to give precise information. Especially with stuff like a few journalists criticizing BG1 for not having int-based dialogues and allowing stuff like creating 18/00 18 18 3 3 16 monster characters in gaming advices section two months after they gave the game 9/10.
I have an impression that most of these people simply buy the hype and aren't able to properly criticize a game during first few weeks of playing. I guess that's why they become gaming journalists instead of getting a productive job.

I used to review games once upon a time, and I don't envy the game 'journalists.' It would be a hard job even if you're not a talentless, corrupt hack. For most people, unless a game is horrendously disappointing, your best insights aren't going to come until much later. Who wouldn't rather be Ebert? He doesn't even read.
