If my brand spankin' new account that I created just to make this my first post on here gets deleted, then so be it XD
Here's the thing, reasons why this game was given a bad review on GS:
1. Unlike SE, Gust doesn't buy their votes.*cough*FF13-2*cough*Famitsu-perfect-score*cough*
2. They were probably expecting said check in the mail from either Gust, Nisa, etc. from one of the companies responsible for making/bringing the game stateside. Seeing no check in the mail, they gave a bad review as a way to 'get back' at them for lack of payment. Gamespot... you so funny, hire a reviewer who actually understand the JRPG genre and quit overpaying an obvious under-qualified reviewer, that is all. XD
