I wonder why would anyone contemplate game mass media "scores" and think about them as a problem, when that same mass media dishes out such or even higher scores for random garbage games or complete failures of logic, sense and common reason, or various other cheap schlock products.
Their scores have no meaning or intrinsic value at all. Its all hype and marketing.
Sure it helps with sales and im glad Larian studios are doing well, etc but i couldnt care less what some gaming media says about any of it.
Its not like OS needed them to be first on sales charts on Steam for weeks before any of those reviews came out.
dirigible, mentioning a few small things in the game of this scope doesnt make the game sloppy.
Every great game in existence has similar less then stellar features. And i woudnt agree on UI or inventory and crafting anyway... - which means that these kinds of extreme statements cannot be built on just personal subjective dislike of something.
