The Danger Zone
So this game is slightly better than KH2 which was the best entry in the series. Thats what i gather.

I was always worried about the giant empty worlds in this series ever since BBS and DDD so im not surprised they didnt seem to remedy that.

Reviews really don't matter for a game like this. It's not like it was going to get a bunch of 1 out of 10's and millions of fans want to finish the story.

What the hell?

This is a super bizarre decision assuming it's intentional. People have had their hands on the game for like a month, any damage reviews could do has been done.
Yeah. It's just a disrespect to small and medium-sized outlets if anything.

"Your input at launch doesn't matter, because we don't trust you."

Seems I won't be able to trust the Metascore for another week or two when everyone's actually gotten to play. Good on OpenCritic for not playing ball and taking the page down.
Well it is unreviewable anyway so it doesn't matter.

We didn't either. Very surprised Kindafunny didn't get one though.

I like how people are basically admitting reviewers give higher scores cause they get free stuff and games early

It doesn't make it true though.
Well reviewers get so much many games I'd find it hard to believe it would affect the score that much since it's routine but what really stands is out is when they dont get it. Which is why everytime something like this occurs people lose their minds lol. Would be naive to assume people are just straight up unbiased and objective in something as subjective as a review.

They may not be unbiased but nobody is, I just don't agree that getting the game free affects the score when preferences plays a much bigger part. It doesn't matter if they get the game free or not that will not change the score.

It sounds like they did it out of concern for spoilers. Considering some of the most random European publications got their codes approved.

So the plan to prevent leaks by reducing the number of codes distributed didn't work? I'm not surprised, leaks can happen regardless of their efforts. Just stop SE, stop being silly.
