[quote name='Outinthedark']No, no it's not but not as a viable excuse. For example the Destructoid reviewers what about 6 months or so ago.
I don't care particularly but I can voice my own opinion when anyone gives their two cents without fully completing the game especially when it's simply "Wait for a cheaper price". I wouldn't ask or give advice on something I've half read, fell asleep watching or not completed to it's fullest extent.[/QUOTE]
If he's willing to provide the second GamerTag used, I can verify it as I captured the entirety of the leaderboards on video when I was reviewing it. From reading the review, it doesn't really sound like he did, since some of the problems, especially in regards to voice-work, fix themselves the further you go (but I have no clue as to if he did or not, that's just speculation.. just leaves the question of why you would play a game on a secondary tag first? That makes little to no sense, but maybe there is a reason?).
I do think he's quite harsh on the game in the review, especially since he's giving it praise throughout the review for certain aspects, but that's what reviews are for. Not everyone is going to agree on everything, and he's not forcing anyone to read it either.
