Could be franchise fatigue. Halo 4 or Black Ops 2 isn't over 90 on Metacritic. 

If God of War Ascension came out three years ago, there'd be 10s all across the board.

Demo VS final version. 

What happened?

The coke was still closed but it wasn't sealed tightly. When I cracked the bottle open, I heard no fizz. I took a drink but immedietly spit it out because it was so flat. Even though I spit it out, I swallowed a little bit.

Could there be some bacteria in it? I'm assuming it was on the store shelf for a few days and even during shipping unsealed.

Maybe I'm worrying too much?

It's only bad in principle.

But when you think about it, holding back content and selling it as DLC later on is the same thing. Or, like Super SFIV, selling a retail version for $40 is also bad. AKSYS with BlazBlue was a lot worse.

But it does feel crummy when you know the content is on the disc and you have to pay an additional $20 to play it. It's worse for 360 owners.

As a fan, the content is worth it...but disappointing at the same time. Better to wait a but longer and get the game at $29.99-$39.99 and then buy the additional DLC. Then you'll feel better about it and less ripped off.

I know it's rolling out today. Quick question. Is it the new dashboard preview we saw at E3 where the categories are changed around, or is it just a minor update to the current dashboard?

The game is pretty good. I didn't expect to enjoy the single player this much. Multiplayer is also pretty good but I wish there was more maps. I know there will be DLC but I wish there was more maps out of the box.

Other than that, it's a very good game. It's not perfect and can be frustrating. But as a TPS, it's one of the best of this gen, one of the more enjoyable TPSs I played.
