@EcksTheory @RogRodge In terms of sexism, I think the game is pretty sexist against both genders. Men are portrayed as idiotic neanderthal buffoons who just want to get high, shag and drive fast cars.

IGN gave the game a 10, and have received enough flack over it. I think both a score of 9 or 10 are justifiable. In fact, given how parts of the games have been broken at launch, I can understand why reviewers who did not receive pre-release copies have given it even lower!

Bah, this is hardly news. The Gamespot staff will have known about this and had it under embargo since February.

That was just a load of Barnum statements!

Far too much quick flashing cutscenes for my taste. I was expecting a quick recount of the story so far, not just a load of patched together cutscenes.

@thefloorhugger It is terrible.

Dear oh dear, what a great big steaming pile of dung this thing is. Just downloaded the beta off PSN+, and after spending 19 minutes downloading, installing, going through menu's and verifying my email account, I get stuck in a nasty little box room my character walks around in at a snails pace, and whenever I try to join a game it either says 'server full' or 'connection lost'. Broken useless guff. Wouldn't try playing this again in a million years.

Oh yes. I'll have me some of that.

Brilliant to hear there is a new Broken Sword coming! I won't be backing in on Kickstarter because I don't agree with paying for the 'rewards', but will buy it day 1 for sure.

Bikes are back! That's me sold.
