That last comment is a fair point, but in my defence I don't understand how people can like it that much. Just because I can accept other opinions, doesn't necessarily mean I understand them.
Either way, it's obvious this is a Marmite game. I have a friend who can't see the point in the Uncharted series, thinks they're a waste of time. I accept that, but still don't understand why he doesn't like them. I accept that some people enjoy cigarettes, but have no idea why people would like it, and I'd rather eat several raw onions than smoke anything.
@loadRunner I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm the main writer and editor for another gaming site which, like Daav, I chose not to link to in my comment. I've played this game a lot and although my review came out at a 3/10 the same things were noted in terms of poor handling, ropey visuals and a general lack of consistency throughout. I didn't sign up just to bash the game, I signed up to show my support to a review which I knew was going to get a hard time. People are all too happy to criticise when reviewers are generous with their scores, and the same applies when they find a game isn't as good as it could be. Reviews are opinions, and that's exactly how they should be. That sadly means not everyone will agree, and I didn't find the multiplayer anywhere near amazing enough to counterbalance the general lack of quality in the game. Incidentally, I've also had a couple of similarly narked comments about how my review was "wrong" despite being an honest opinion...
I'm glad it's not just me who thought this was an intolerable pile of toss. Good to see you guys being honest and not sucking up to PR like a lot of other sites seem to be. Seriously, how is this game getting 7/10s??

That's just how things go.
