I honestly believe with this game reviewers are just as wrapped up in the hype as consumers and as far as reviews go a couple of places withstanding review editors are judging the hype. I've been playing the game since its release and I gotta say I'm loving it, the game has its flaws no doubt but I'm a sucker for loot, character customization, and RPG's in general so this game is right up my alley and I'm sure its not for some people and thats fine everyone has there own opinion. This is also more proof that maybe its not such a great idea to be mixing community with development because we as gamers(for the most part) can never be pleased and with developers nothing good can come of it.  This also is why its great to have rentals, go rent the game, try the demo and see for yourself if its right for you. I for one don't follow reviews at all because a review is an opinion and not everyone has the same opinion people have different tastes so try it and judge it for yourself people, if you don't like it cool and if you do cool but formulate your own opinion and don't buy in to the BS.
