You know some of these people going "how could they give it a 9 or a 10?" are the same people that attacked and harassed anyone that gave it a score lower than a 9 before it came out lol

Just a thought, maybe some reviewers aren't fans of getting death threats for giving unreleased games a "horrible" 7/10 score, so they just spike the score slightly in order to avoid that.

There are bad reviewers, of course, but honestly, I can't say for sure I would be an impartial reviewer if I knew I could get doxxed and harrased for giving something a 7/10 -- I'd just give it an 8 and be done with it.

    Funniest thing about this saga was that the game was announced back in 2012, before anyone knew what the ps4 would look like and everyone thought the new Xbox would be called the Xbox 720. Yet it doesn't even work properly on a ps4 or Xbox one. How is this even possible, like wtf

      Because for some reason they announced it before they had any idea what it would even look like lmao

      so completely backwards. you're supposed to announce games when you're nearly done with them, partly because development takes so goddamn long that there's no point announcing as soon as you've confirmed you're gonna make the game

      The only consoles it runs well on are Xbox Series X and PS5 and the funny thing is that it's not even an Xbox Series X or PS5 game, it's running the current-gen version in backward compatibility mode.

      Not that you could get a next-gen console right now since scalpers have bought them all.
