Time and Eternity.
This game realistically deserves scores of closer to 5/10 compared to what it is getting. It's not good, but it's not OMG TEH WURST GAM EVUR. At this point it's pretty much trendy to hate the game (sheeple bleating back out the same cry without any thought, and the likelihood that they actually played it for more than an hour before jumping to the same conclusions is very low). And of course this leads to the trolls saying it's actually a great game. I'm definitely in the middle on it. It's playable, and probably worth about $10 and I expect the regular edition to settle down in the $10-15 range.
The funny thing is, when a western game of the same quality gets released it manages to average out on metacritic in the 60s. I wouldn't call this game underrated (like Alpha Protocol or Deadly Premonition) but it doesn't deserve 2/10 type scores. Those should be reserved for things Vampire Rain: Altered Species, Rogue Warrior, NBA Unrivaled etc... Things with fundamental gameplay problems. At least that's what the 0-2 range should be for imo. I don't know where it will balance out in the end, but it's definitely better than Last Rebellion, which was deservedly getting scores in the 4/10 range.
TL; DR: Lol videya gam jurnalizm.
