That's a pretty scathing preview. Guess Bethesda doesn't give a shit about Europe...

Is "scathing" the new "honest"?

Does every reviewer have to be an ass kissing, cock sucking, ego stroking, shoulder rubbing, head patting, high five-ing, thumbs upping, pom-pom shaking pussy?

Still, not much of a preview in terms of mechanics and gameplay.

I will say I actually think the game looks decent- they definitely did a good job on a technical level but I hate the use of color. The palette is really reminiscent of Oblivion - they should have gone for a much darker look - heck, Morrowind's brown & sepia tones would have been more appropriate.

Those animations are over the top, too. There's some footage where Todd uses a sniper rifle for a head shot and the target's arms and legs explode along with the head. Baffling. Those stupid little cinemas that play when in the TB mode also have to go.

Scathing is the OLD honest. The ONLY honest reviews are "scathing". How can you be a critic if you don't crticize? A critic without the criticism is just hollow and insincere, like slaughter without laughter.

No, you can be completely critical without being "scathing".

You seem to be under the misconception that "critique" implies negativity. In words like "movie critic" it does not, actually. A critique of something isn't bound to be negative - it's an evaluation, the more objectiv - and I'm aware it'll always be subjective as a whole - the better. It is to list the good and bad things; but if there's very little good things it is up to the reviewer to focus on the bad, and vice versa.

See. Now I spam dumb image with errors. Triple dumbfuck tag should be mine.

BTW. This guy is also wrong because correct quote is:
Ja jestem Kowalski, a to jest pani Kowalska, innej nie chcę.
