The satirical newspaper's online thingy won't let me reply to the post below so I'm responding to my own.

For $60, all I think I'm entitled to is a really good game. I thought the first one was a really good game. I thought the second one was a great game. All signs point toward great for the third one.

Assigning blame would mean I took the review seriously.

Before I go back to stalking the review score for this game on metacritic like a good fanboy until I spend my $60 tomorrow, I want to say this:

I just signed up to say that Ars Technica has better game reviews and they'll tell you how to fix your computer. Now I'm going to back to Metacritic without clicking any ads.
