100% review for a game that has by now disappeared from most chart tops and is starting to get real professional reviews is a bit embarassing, is it not?
The advancements in RPG mechanics indeed...

Translation:

"I didn't like the game, and so the Escapist should fix their review because they liked it and are clearly wrong."


So you didn't like it. Why should they change their review just because of where it is on the charts, or how other reviewers feel about it?

And how is it broken? The guy who reviewed it enjoyed it a lot, how is that bad?

Reviews are generally based on the reviewer's opinion, not on the consensus of other folks who liked or didn't like it.
So no, they won't change it.

Why do you care? It's obvious you aren't a member of this community and just got pissed off when looking at the metacritic score.

If you agree that Dragon Age 2 is a good game, and that the OP is wrong...

Why not vote for Bioware in March Mayhem?

The voting is still open - Bioware isn't that far behind - some help from loyal fans could turn the tide. Help Bioware win March Mayhem by voting now.

Yeah, they better fix that "not thinking like all of the others" thing.

It's really embarrassing not being a mindless robot.

I think this is a belated April Fool's joke.

Also, did Team ICO get your FAX that poor sales means your game sucks?

Sooo... Let me get this straight, you dislike the game so the Escapist has to change the review to suit your opinions? It is not your personal review. Anywaysm an Escapist 5/5 does not mean a flawless game, Metacritic just converts it that way.

Oh. So this stellar genius of a reviewer did not notice the glaring errors and the fact that game is unfinished? Give me mindless robot as an alternative any time if that said robot actually has a logic circuit installed that triggers a selfdestruct sequence every time it attempts to label a turd it just stepped into with a rubber stamp "100% AWESOME":)
OR MAYBE

People disagree with you and legitimately enjoyed the game.

Pray tell how do you convert 5 out of 5 into percentage points? My first and only guess is 100. Does Escapist have a special formula for conversion and if it does then why is it not published anywhere.

Good lord, man, just give it up. Your fanatical hatred for DA2 isn't going to suddenly convince anyone in the Escapist to change the review. This topic will get some posts and fade in obscurity like everyone else's, so just get over it already.

Opinions on quality are subjective, he enjoyed the game, you did not.

however, since I enjoyed the game and you did not will you fix your post?

Hey, look what I found. There's actually an article here that says what the review scores mean.

"Five stars. This is as good as gaming currently gets, the crème de la crème. This doesn't imply perfection, merely that the experience you'll have will be exceptionally enjoyable."

There you go 5/5 on the Escapist doesn't equal 100% on Metacritic.

And before I leave, I'm fine with you voicing your opinion, but it was not necessary to create an entire thread for this. There are plenty of threads out there criticizing DAII, why not post there?
