I got into a argument with a IGN editor on there in the comment section. The guy judged everything from a BF/COD standpoint instead of reviewing it objectively.
What's wrong with that exactly? Whether you like them or not, those 2 particular titles set the bar for FPS games thanks to their enormous player bases. Not to mention, it's an opinion piece, and the editor would have been correct to write it from the perspective of the largest common denominator.
Oh, and objectively, this game sucks.  |

Except CoD/BF simply do what people want them to do, so he's not really basing them off the titles, he's basing it off what people actually like (again, that's why their player bases are huge).
I'd give you the second point about judging the game in a day, but all that means is more skillpoints, which translates into a power boost against the new guy. It doesn't change a whole lot. |

I'm pretty sure they are, lol. Either way, it's an opinion piece. The degree of objectivity you're looking for doesn't exist in a game review. |
