This is in norwegian, so you might have to use google translate or something.

I thought the story is the best part!

Judging by those screenies, the FoV's been fixed. HUZZAH!

I also though the story had been improved. well, we only have to judge it for ourselves when the game is released

Weak story? Really? Seriously? This review just lost all its credibility. Judging by the pre-release information of the story alone, there's a lot of interesting plot going on in this game.

I haven't seen a non-**** review yet. Hopefully, that's going to change when the "real" reviews are out.

Well it's a pretty good review mr Ice. they've wrote 4000 words in that review instead of 800 that they do with
regular review's of games.

So, if it has lots of words, it must be excellent, fair and well thought through?

It doesn't even say how the story is bad or how does it compare with other games. Neither does it specify how the dialog is bad or "cliched". If they're going to state something as bold as that, they should provide some sort of an explanation.

After all, they did give Black Ops a 9/10 as well and I KNOW Crysis 2 has a much, much stronger singeplayer component than any Call of Duty game ever has. By any measure, this review is ****. Especially if you compare it to other reviews they've put out.

Fun fact: reviewers aren't omniscient, unbiased machines.

No, my point was that just because the reviewer's opinion made him give it a lower score than you would like doesn't make the review "****".

Precisely.

No, my point was that just because the reviewer's opinion made him give it a lower score than you would like doesn't make the review "****".

Who said anything about scores? And an opinion is an opinion. But if you can't explain your opinion, then it's **** in my book.

i believe the quality of the story differs from player to player, some people like complex stories, other like simple ones, some people like cliffhangers and others hate them

remember that it's just a review from a single reviewer's opinion, not the final opinion by the world
