Perhaps they genuinely don't rate the game? Do you have any particular reason to think that Jaguar is an impatient, arrogant asshole, or do you just not agree with his opinion and are enough of an arrogant asshole to lay into him for this?

It sucks for a developer who has worked hard on a title to see their work get slammed but perhaps their work deserves to be slammed. It must also suck to be a critic when you routinely get accused of being publishers' bitches, yet when they call it as they see it they get more stick.

Let one thing be clear. This wasn't only targeted at Jaguar. He may have the delusion that he's the first guy who wrote a bad review, but he evidently didn't check YouTube and the European websites before drawing that conclusion.

When I read.. apperantly "Jaguar's" review, I thought it was riddled with signs that he never played the other Gothics and former Risen. If that's true or not is beside the point, the fact that it gives that impression is.

I'm busy and always on my iPhone so I'll keep it short.. but complaints like "I level up too slowly" and "unfair difficulty" are one of said signs. Signs that he's used to mainstream Amalur kinda crap is something like complaining that the game lacks Questmarkers. I know.. that's so 2005.

Apart from Jaguar's review.. check the IGN review video. That impromptu review will matter-of-factly stop thousands of people from buying the game. Curious how a guy that's been playing PC games since 1985 as well as his cousin think the game has you pleasantly engaged from the get-go.
