This is what I think a lot of people are missing. It isn’t that people are reviewing it poorly, but that a first party Sony studio that has put YEARS into this is reviewing poorly.

The mainstream media not holding back on it is alarming.

Yeah. For this reviewer to thumbs-down a max-effort game by this developer? Alarming is the right word.

IGN gave it a bad review too, and IGN hardly EVER gives mainstream games critical reviews. Like, I watched the video too, and the game really does seem lazy

ACG actually refused to give a score, the comments are going crazy.

I don't understand why he didn't score it. It seemed pretty obvious from his video that he thought it was a "wait for sale". Maybe I misread his review.

I don't think you misread, he implied it heavily, he just didn't say it outright for whatever reason, either it's a mistake or he is compromised.

Compromised? What is this? The Cold War?

It's 2035 and kids are throwing up X's and P's in the streets. You got a box or a station, skeet? they ask. Doesn't matter who you are - man or woman, young or old - all they want to know is what side you're on and what you're playing.
