    It’s hard to consider an 81 on OpenCritic to be a trainwreck. People tend to buy games that review well, especially when it’s a co-op shooter with basically no competition.

      bl3 is a fine game. its just critics of it are so very vocal that nobody feels like saying they like it.

      Damn I had to look that up cause it seemed unbelievable. I am shocked it reviewed that well. It just seemed so awful to me.

      Am I so out of touch?? No, the children are.

        You aren’t out of touch. Even the worst games don’t get that poor of a review. When you job depends on being on their side, it turns out you can’t voice an honest opinion.

        Nah, that game’s great. The writing’s not good, especially for the villains, but people like that game because it’s good.
