Can we expect a review before release?

No 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.

Best to not even send them a free review copy. :|

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.

We didn't send them a copy of RO, either - they presumably bought it!

Isn't that against some sort of rule?

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.

That they bought the game and reviewed it. Seems odd.
