@mdinger: There are only 8 critic reviews. Not saying that the number will go substantially higher or lower but your sample size is very small.
Also user reviews should largely be ommitted from any score comparisons. You have individuals rating it at 0 unfairly with no substantial reasoning and individuals who rate it at 10 just to counterattack the 0 reviews. It's a mess.
@nsa_protocol44: It's honestly just a business maneuever and the solution is simple if you don't like their business tactic don't buy titles from their store or support them. The outrage isn't warranted but I guess the internet had to have some target this summer.
@bdrtfm: I still don't. I realized how much I actually need backwards compatibility as my PS3 is directly beneath my PS4 and barely gets turned on anymore. Even games i purchased on PS4 for nostalgia purposes I don't play. It's just a matter of time.
At least it won't be a major talking point anymore moving forward. (I hope)
@forester057: There's no real underlying message. The only message I am getting is that you did not play the game.
The game is peppered with multiple audio logs from the factions that you are fighting where they openly admit to malicious activities. One is putting explosives in a medicine case for the next person to open. This goes far beyond "the bad guys if you are shooting people just trying to survive, protect and feed their family." At no point are any of the enemy factions stealing bread to feed their bretheren nor is the guy with the giant sledgehammer who attacks you if you are too close for his liking.
@Warlord_Irochi: Asking for a bit much in today's current climate.
Game stands at an 81 metacritic score and surprisingly 7.2 user score with all the troll reviews. I'm sure Ubisoft paid all critics that issued a 90+ and hired people to write good reviews. This is way more conceivable than Ubisoft releasing a well developed game that people are enjoying.
