    First review is out. Very honest review. I think he hits all the points right on the head with his brief review. He clearly has his facts straight. I'll probably have to skip this game based on his opinion.

    Score: -8/10 (yes that's a negative 8)

    Yes, from the reputable people over at "Xbox1stlookreviewer" . Thanks but I think I will wait for someone with a little more credibility than some random youtuber who plays 5 minutes of the game.

    The game might not be great, but the reviewer seems really impatient, and in the end he appears to just rage quit.

    I'm not sure I understand the minus 8/10.

    Edit: After watching about a minute, I can say I will not take his review into account.

    He starts off the review saying "It's made by EA. We all know EA are terrible". I find it hard to believe that if he's so open about his dislike for EA, that they would send him a copy.

    Also, what's with British gamers always having annoying nasally voices when they record these videos?

    mmm you have a point. On his last video he did an early review of a game that he said he was sent it from THQ. So I just assumed EA also sent him this game early.

    Man I'm so dumb. Apologies.

    Pretty sure the fact he really wants to skip through story content that sets up the game lessens his credibility.

    Why would EA send him a game?

    So he bases his whole review on the first 9 min of the game? Seems legit.

    How do you even sustain yourself on an open forum like this if you can't even tell after a minute of this the dude isn't serious.

    Like, come on. You're like confused rapebait for trolls.

    I don't know about higher credibility, but at least someone who is not a stupid dumb shit.

    He says it's a "third person puzzle"game. What in the world is wrong with him.

    The one thing you can count on on the GB forums is everyone taking everything at face value.

    While it's entirely possible that this copy of the game was dubiously acquired, that is of little consequence here. An investigation team is not required to solve this mystery.

    No Caption Provided

    Giant Bomb is great for many things. This includes, but is not limited to; Beards, escaping from a sinking car, climbing over fridges, and knowing the exact combination of button presses that allow you to most effectively disembowel a virtual being who may or may not currently be controlled by a small Russian gentleman on the other side of the planet. I am, of course, speaking hypothetically.

    What Giant Bomb is not good for is getting you youtube subscriptions. We have some very specific rules explaining, at great length, why posting your latest masterpiece to the forums is a very bad idea. Very bad indeed.

    And that's why this is getting locked! I appreciate that as a lock-post this is more extravogant than most but i'm waiting for my game of Dota2 to start and it is taking it's sweet ass time. I figured I should take advantage of my chance to articulate exactly how you had broken the rules.

    Anyway...

    PEACE OUT
