Add one more purchase, bought a 9c game (95% off $1.99) called Despair for the lulz since I had 11c just sitting there in my wallet. It has mixed reviews. My cousin owns it.

Good thing I can get a refund if I don't like it.

Kevin Van Ord gave Batman Arkham Knight a 7.0

That hurts a little. But I guess I'm not really surprised with the flaws of the game. Seemed obvious to me from the beginning that the batmobile looked a little awkward and not particularly fun.

I still look forward to playing it as I skipped Origins. The pros sound good enough to make it worthwhile and largely outweigh the negative stuff.

Batman snuck up on me. I had no idea it was coming out so soon.

It's worth noting that the Gamespot review is currently the lowest score on Metacritic and the game is averaging 91.

Yeah scores are high so far. Seems that the batmobile is a bit of a problem for some other reviewers too. But the gameplay story resonated more with them than it did with Kevin. Wouldn't be surprised if he had his fill of the series after Origins, which is why I skipped it.

It's both funny and depressing how butthurt people get at a game like this getting a 7. People claim it's to provoke controversy and get views, actively pushing the idea that the mainstream review scene should have some kind consensus with no opposing views at all (if you can really call a good score like 7/10 an opposing view in the first place). This is the kinda stuff that made me distance myself from the online gaming community at large, outside of our little community. The vocal minority retards are just too loud for my ears, and regularly prove how juvenile and immature gaming is in so many ways.

It's because for many publications a score of 7 means "average". And while many people complain about review score inflation, no one wants their favourite game series to get a lower score than the other inflated scores. They should start handing out the non-inflated scores to some other game we don't care about as much.

Went ahead and picked up Ori and the Blind Forest as well. Also got the Metro Redux bundle. Should be nice to play when I get my new graphics card.

It's hard writing reviews according to your own score guide rather than what is perceived as the norm. We've got a wording association with our score but you still get a lot of people being disappointeed when we give their game a 7, despite that being a good score.

The median age of people complaining about review scores is probably 14.

Assassin's Creed 4's combat feels so bad compared to Witcher 3, holy shit. I hope you unlock some abilities to make it feel better because it feels like a joke right now.

I was like that after moving from Bloodborne to The Witcher 2, though I think I prefer spazzing about with evasive rolls in TW2 over Ass Creed's combat, which was never the highlight of any Ass Creed.

3's combat in considerably better than 2's, which makes it feel more jarring.
