Go to the 4th paragraph (or 2nd paragraph under the first vid), and look at the 2nd sentence. Someone explain this sentence for me and why its worded the way it is. Makes me wonder whether or not they even played the game?

i understand ethical and un-ethical practice.

Ign should do a better job though.

this is clearly showing they did not play the game.

Literally every game review website that reviews multiplatform reviews one copy of the game then copy/pastes that review for the other platforms. They then add a paragraph or two of platform specific material.

I thought they weren't going to do a pc review until the full PC game was available. They wrote a whole article kicking up a fuss about just that.
