It's certainly going to get messy in here (it's a bit deserved though). I may not agree with his score, but I welcome someone who's willing to take that much time to back his reasoning up even though the review came out one year later.
The one problem I have is his plot reasoning. If you're actually going to back up MW2 for keeping an upbeat pace while sweeping Rainbow Six: Vegas' coherent story under the rug as 'bland', you need to get yoursel...
Awesome ad ideas. I need an Alan Wake sundial watch like the in the pic :P.
I find that a shocking quote to be honest with you.
it seems not like the important thing, but the only thing. That's just how I see it when I view how much time is spent learning everything about them.
It's sad really, especially when you see some refusing to care about a game unless it's gfx are up to snuff with the rest of them.
You can download custom forge maps from bungie.net . You can grab others videos, screenshots, etc. that have been posted on that site. If you're interested, you can head over there and it'll walk you through how you can get them.
"...becuase I deserved those maps to be included in the original package."
Oh really? That quote right here already shows a huge flaw in your arguement. There may be so few maps to you but that still doesn't exsponge the fact that you have the ability to forge maps to what you wish.
"They're milking customers."
Once again, says you. What someone sees as 3 new maps, could be 1000's to another when you...
A bit too much unfair hate against the dev. imo, for a few reasons:
-If you didn't enjoy the stock maps, have you tried grabbing forged maps?
-How's a map pack coming out 2 1/2 months later an "f*** you" to customers? Better yet why would you anticipate a DLC model different from Halo 3's? Do you just want CoD's new system of 5 for $15?
-"Bullshit developer"? Everyone has their opinion, I gues...
For those wondering, VGChartz gave it higher numbers. About 10-ish% more. Bear in mind that NPD also has a 10 +/- on their charts as well.
Don't know how anyone can combat such a well-stated arguement.
Although I see more potential in The Agency, it has a chance of pulling off something great.
"Still don't get the numerous delays complaint."
It's not so much about the delays themselves (since they're bound to happen sometimes), it's the bad management of time. Anyone unable to meet their predicted schedule, would have his/her business look bad in a certain way. You can't expect a contractor or artitect to give numerous delays and not expect their reputation to be tarished, to a certain degree.
However, Polyphony ...
When it comes to official reports:
1 slight delay everywhere
2 total delays in Japan
When it comes to early reports and "release windows":

Not sure if you can count all of them on one hand.
Quit trolling
delays is plural, dude.
Don't mind the 4 million+ that bought Fable II.
Edit: /s if you're wondering.
It's sad to see EA slipping up after being on such a roll. Of course, it's also a shame to see employees losing their jobs as well.
Instead of trying to point fingers at whatever you want, perhaps you should -i don't know- "weigh out" the differences unbiasly. It'll do a world of good, unless you're in the mood for getting a good agree/disagree ratio :P.
While that seems a bit sad from what I was anticipating from the DLC, there's also the sense it's always had of "suspending the mystery" when you consider it's like a TV show. However, that idea in it of itself is disgruntling since hardly any games try to do that.
Says it's still coming this holiday season.
Sales: They're completely objective, although not completely true from sites like VGChartz. Numbers are written in stone when companies announce their numbers.
Game quality: Subjective for the most part. Ppl are implored not to always trust game reviews because "beauty's in the eye of the beholder". Many might like it but you,on the off chance,may not. The only pure objective part in game quality is the technical prowess behind the game's graphic...
