and also, you HAVE to actually AIM with your gun sights and use your BRAIINZZ, ZOMGWTF!11!!!?!!??1No g4 will give it a 60 at best, probably.
They gave RO a 40. They hate anything that isn't AAA 50mil budget title and when they aren't paid money to give it a better score.

Wrong. I never use the bullpup scope in the mod. I'll probobly use it in the game if it's not so glitchy. All it takes is half a brain to figure out where the gun is pointing.and also, you HAVE to actually AIM with your gun sights and use your BRAIINZZ, ZOMGWTF!11!!!?!!??1
We didn't send them a copy of RO, either - they presumably bought it!Best to not even send them a free review copy. :|
Isn't that against some sort of rule?We didn't send them a copy of RO, either - they presumably bought it!
that's not enough for G4 xDAll it takes is half a brain to figure out where the gun is pointing.
What? That they bought the game or that reviewers are given free copies to evaluate?Isn't that against some sort of rule?
That they bought the game and reviewed it. Seems odd.What? That they bought the game or that reviewers are given free copies to evaluate?
It's a commonly accepted practice in entertainment media to get free access to the thing you're going to report on. Dinner, drinks, hotel suites, gift bags...these are the things that sort of or definitely cross the ethical line. A single free copy of the game for the purposes of evaluation isn't an ethical breach though. And if it was...it'd be between a $5 and $50 breach of ethics![]()
Stuff like that is only unethical if it influences how you report/review the game. I don't think a single free copy earns any dev houses any special treatment. Unless the reviewers are complete amateurs and are grateful for even being noticed.
