I believe that is what is known as a "reverse ferret"

To be fair Grummz does know all about grifting

Fair enough, but in this case he’s absolutely 100% spot on.
IGN just proved that they were shilling the game.
Can’t imagine why trust in the media is at an all time low.
Real head scratcher that.

It's funny to think we thought Games media was bad 10 years ago. Now all we have left is access journalism on one hand and engagement bait on the other.

They don't even have the balls to stand by their initial review. Pathetic.

Yes you can't give a game 9/10 GOTY ETC prior to launch, then after launch say yeh the game is good, but not that good it has issues. So IF you trust in that AMAZING review, you're more likely to spend your money when it's not the truth such as some back handed deal.

Don't worry it is nothing rude. It is a journalism term.

I remember in the 90s, you'd get people who liked RPGs etc reviewing genres they didn't even seem to play

Oh, why didn’t you say this earlier?
Sounds like a must buy then.
Give me a break.

They kinda did

I'm 30 hours in and it's a good game but not great. 7 out of 10 or thereabouts. Story is all over the place (good when it is good and whoopsie when it isn't)

Are you sure it isn't his favourite game on the citadel?

I would suggest purchasing a sarcasm detector.

It detected sarcasm on line 2
