I am not the biggest fan of Metacritic, but just look at all the critic reviews.....then this guy gives the game a 9 out of 10!

Mind you, this is the same guy that gave Halo 4 a 7.

Meh I have read some reviews, sounds like a pretty bad game to me.

Well if you have fun with it, more power to you, but the point I'm making is that it smells like a paid review, considering a 9 out of 10 means its a near perfect game.

This video sums up my feelings, it looked so much better in their demo footage, the actual game looks like it was made years ago the graphics are so meh and the enemy AI is so sad.

I call it Spore's Syndrome.
The demo looks amazing and get's you set up for something great.
The game comes out and it's nothing like the Demo and instead crap.

Oh my god, thanks for posting that Chris. That is crazy!!

Brings me to another point: Some guy said that companies shouldn't make demos, because they lose alot of sales. Why? Because the product in the demo often doesn't live up to the product actually released.

I want to beat the people who made A:CM to death with my Ridley Scot in a EVO statue then once it brakes my Horrorclix alien queen. Because that shit can kill someone. They claimed to be fans. Why would fans not try to perfect their game and release it in a glitchier state than DayZ and Skyrim combined.

I stopped caring about reviews a long time ago. They never seem very accurate.

I hate extra credits. I don't like him and find I disagree with him a lot.

If you don't want to lose sales don't make a fucking shitty demo/game anyways.

WE DO WANT DEMOS, the real reason they don't make demos? THEIR GAME SUCKS!! That's the only reason.
Demons only lead to no sales when your game sucks in my opinion and I am less inclined to buy a game without a demo, and since most don't have one then I'm done. And who the fuck gets their fill out of a game from a demo? Is he fucking high? 20 hour game vs a 10 min demo yeah fucking right.

W/e I just really fucking hate extra credits.

Remember, the Demons only attack if your game is bad.

Listen I was typeing fast I'm a busy man. I'm in a rush half the time. I can't spell check every time. BUT yeah I meant Demos.

lol, I dunno how demons came out of that. BUT STILL, you are right. They do attack if your game is bad!
