I think hes a great reviewer, but its situations like this when you see hype has a big affect on the critics. Look at ME3 (and im not even talking about the ending) and this which not only hovers around the 80 mark on Metacritic but few critics offer any real criticism of it.
@joesguy Well thats what the Meta score currently is, but still if it wasnt a big-name big-budget game, the critics wouldnt have been as harsh. Also a lot of them are realising their mistake with RE5 where they completely ignored the part about how it was so much worse when you played it on your own and this could be their chance to get some cred back.
Still i hope it sells well, Capcom put a lot of effort and money into it and much of what the game does well is actually really good. Who knows, that might be the starting point of the next game.
