Seriously, how many times have review sites praised Zelda, Assassin's Creed and Halo as the second coming of Jesus with 9/10's everywhere, just for people to ignore them in a month after playing it.
The original Doom succeeded because it was NOT a AAA super-realistic shooter. Doom 3's attempt at realism fell flat on its face and now Doom 4 wants to emulate it
I'm actually happy a review like this came out. I really hate the mentality that so long as a game has strong production values, is a popular franchise and has no bugs/glitches that it is automatically entitled to at least a 7 or 8.
