Well international business times broke the review embargo with a glaringly bad review. There's just a few problems I have:
-the reviewer somewhat spoiled the beginning
-he wrote a very short and empty review
-he claims to have only put 10 hrs into the game
-his biggest complaint was that the game moved slowly. Seeing that any Bethesda games moves at your own pace, this seems like a hollow and incredibly incorrect thesis to base your cons on

Bethesda, you should be just given me their review copy, I could've written a far better review than this

Well at least he was comparing it to Dragon Age and not the Witcher 3 or GTA 5. So at I at least give him credit for being different when it comes to his bashing.

Also I don't really care for reviewers. Most of them don't play games or even bother to get deep enough. They just follow the general opinion of most people or say the opposite to get attention. The only person who can determine if a game is good or not is yourself.

I thought then. "Fallout 4" has very dedicated fans, and I imagine the reaction to these statements won't be particularly positive.

That's for sure.

Lol, that was one bad revew...! In many many ways...

One of the few people I trust a review from is FrankieonPCin1080p. Acknowledges glitches/bugs etc but is more focused on the feel of a game, immersing yourself and actually just enjoying it! (Amazing graphics and a fast paced in your face story mean little if you complete it in 10hours and never play again!)

Sorry having the game since the 1st (thats when the review copies got out, we have seen unpacking videos) and only 10 hours in?

I have a hard time to believe there was put much effort in this "review".

Oooooh Pete Hines is gonna keeeeeel him.

I remember when Pete Hines practically exploded when confirmation of werewolves in Skyrim got leaked.

There were so many lulz to be had.

LOl someone never reviewing a Bethesda game again.

Was...was HE really complaining about hte pacing of the game? like...really, did he not get the memo about that 400 + hours of content? and that it took him like 5 hours to kill a mole rat or somthing? thats on him, he svcked, not the game...who reviewed this game? some CoD scrub?

WOW, it hasnt even released yet, hes played so little what the h***?

I hope hes not right though.

I don't really call it a review. More some general impressions from someone who has never played a Fallout Game.

Storm

my theory is he was per$$uaded by someone sympathetic to Fallout 4's competing release title COD.

he's probably about as right as Stalin was a nice guy .

Oh wow, someone's going to be in trouble...

Perhaps they couldn't be arsed to read the whole memo that the embargo lift date/time could now be discussed.

Yes, there are patently ignorant spoilers for the start of the game, thanks IBT.

I can respect an opinion, but it just didn't seem to be very intelligently formulated.

As others have wisely pointed out:

'I thought then. "Fallout 4" has very dedicated fans, and I imagine the reaction to these statements won't be particularly positive.'

I don't think you have to be a 'dedicated fan' to realise that this semi-conscious review in not the pinnacle of the reviewers craft.

oh....

AND.... the review appears to have GONE !

The link has gone 404...

Some fallout has clearly hit the IBT offices

Perhaps all the comments below the article along the lines of:

'you broke embargo and you are toast...'

had an effect.

Yeah, I just went for a look and it's vanished...... Guessing someone has had their wrist slapped.

Annnnnnnnnd it's gone.

It had to be the Mole Rat Queen. No one is so bad at a game it takes them 5 hours to take out the basic mole rats. Fallout 3 was my first game and Mole Rats were easy to kill then. I can understand just about anything else in the Wasteland( And by just about I mean literally everything else) but not Mole Rats.

Also it sound like he depended way too much on VATS.

ha, that "review" is gone, somone is getting fired. I dont want to sound like a fan boy but that wasnt even a review with "REAL" critisim, it sounded more like the dude svckED at the game and made a [censored]e review of it.

Yep, looks like Victor Vincent is in big trouble.

I wonder what passes for sanctions from Bethesda on these things?

Death by Deathclaw, naturally.

being fed to mole rats if I had to guess .
