I can disagree with this specifically wrt ME2. All the reviews that came out within hours of the game being released were 9.5s or 10s. The 8s and 7.5s only started to creep in after a couple of days, when people had fully explored the universe. I'm not saying the 10s didn't keep coming in, but no-one was disappointed enough at the outset to give it a low score. So no, that sentiment is not valid here.

Yes, that sentiment is valid, your own post proved it beyond any reasonable doubt. Reviews coming in within an hour of most people playing the game lavishing it with praise are complete and utter BS. The more reasonable, maybe even outright low scores come in later, from people who played the game to completion first. The reviews came down with time for ME2 because the fanboys finally got it out of their system. The exact same thing will happen with Dante's Inferno. You actually validated my point while trying to disprove it.
Thank you. :)
The only difference between the ME2 fanboys and the DI fanboys is that the ME2 fanboys aren't prefacing their review with some flaccid shot at Gamespot's cred, but if ME2 scored lower, they would, like the DI fanboys are.
