Global Alpha Test Start Date

I dont bother reading much into things that I dont feel accurate for one reason or another :P like a games score being determined by first day DLC. Though I dont like the idea of 1st day DLC the score shouldn't be affected by it as its not a value of the company but of the game.

Totally agree, and you have no idea on how many think the opposite, feeling that day 1 DLCs are "immoral", and as such they need to lower the score of the game from a moral standpoint.

It's hilarious, I know.

Not to say I find 100% unbiased sources since I have bias myself but I suppose for clarity I could have added "A good video game review company wouldn't look to hunt down a company just because".

Absolutely. The problem is that the percentage of "good" video game reiewers is not as near to the 100% as it should be. This is an industry with a whole ton of amateurism, and the widespread cronyism determines the fact that a lot of those amateurs with no cognition of journalistic integrity and no journalistic education at all, end up writing for large websites that provide their "ideas" with a ton of undeserved visibility, allowing them in turn to negatively and unduly influence the success of a game while they often write just out of a personal grudge of sorts.

Give you an example that isn't about this game, and isn't even one of the most extreme:

It's fairly easy to spot from the highly hyperbolic choice of wording and the way concepts are expressed that the writer went out of his way to be as nasty as possible, to the point of expressing quite a few factually incorrect things.

And that's a fairly well known writer on a very popular website.

But I believe I'm digressing, a LOT, my apologies.

PS:

Edit: Updated my quote of Abrieal's updated post. nvm :P

Yeah, I know, I'm sorry, I tend to polish and repolish my posts over and over. Déformation professionnelle and all that. It's my worst flaw... >_>
