This was posted a while ago here on Kotaku around when you made that post about the Songbird plushie... not sure why you decided to delete that and repost this with a new link and big paragraph about how it wasn't a great shooter but everyone loved the story and lore =X

Seriously, the first sentence of your article is something that is just plain false. Maybe you aren't especially skilled at the game, (or, more likely, these articles are simply just trying to flame up page views) but don't present the article and the opening sentence as unobjectionable when it just isn't true. …

Did Kotaku make an editorial decision that nobody working on the staff is allowed to like the combat in this game? It was praised pretty uniformly in reviews, and myself and many other people I have spoken too in person and online love it. In fact, through face-to-face interactions and online interactions with people…

I thought the article you're linking to was drowned in enough "judging from what you wrote, you're bad at shooters, so don't say this game is a bad shooter" comments for you to NOT tote it as a flawless argument that it itsn't a good game.

LOL, the game has bad combat? Nice clickbait.

Ever since one person made the comment that the gameplay isn't that great everyone has since jumped on the bandwagon. I personally think it fits just perfectly within the game - same goes for all of the violence that was mentioned in a previous article.

Congrats Irrational....no one likes your game apparently? Should have just made a movie, instead of limiting your audience by making a video game....
