You ain't gonna get an answer, ask on Twitter
I think he said or implied he was stepping away from Gaf because he felt he got dogpiled due to this topic.

he's kinda snappy and sore about this subject on twitter too tbh. he's too close and he's something of a Mass Effect fanboy, so I think the negative reception just got to him. He'll cool off once the bad press goes away and people move on to the next big game.
But one thing to say: If you can't take negative responses to your views, you shouldn't be posting in discussion forums. Sometimes it's the way the cookie crumbles. Andromeda is a mess.
Stuff like this, too.People don't like being lied to. Who knew?

Sure, he's a fan, but I was under the impression he was being accused of shilling, and throwing that accusation around with no evidence is crossing a line.
Well... he wrote a book long post gushing about how great the game is before the game released, adding to people's prerelease hype. Then the game comes out and doesn't quite match his rose tinted glasses prespective.
So yeah, I'd hide under a rock for a while too if I had embarrassed myself that bad too. People don't like being lied to. Who knew?

This went beyond negative responses to a view, people called him liar and shill.But one thing to say: If you can't take negative responses to your views, you shouldn't be posting in discussion forums. Sometimes it's the way the cookie crumbles. Andromeda is a mess.

Yup. When this first got posted I was already a bit skeptical because he's been a pretty fanboy of the series here (which is fine) and he's upfront about that in his post, but now having played Andromeda maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan could I not disagree more with almost everything in his first post, and I'm also a pretty big fan of the first three games. For what it's worth I don't think he was intentionally misleading people or anything.

as a *huge* Mass Effect fan that's been following the series since the very first trailer went public in 2005, it feels like Mass Effect to me
Man, I wish this had been an avatar bet.I can't wait for this game to get 8s and 9s. Some of the hyperbolic criticisms have been charming.

The reaction to Shinobi was one of the reasons the review thread was locked.very few as a percentage of this thread. go and count up the number of posts that went there. there's always gonna be a few bad apples, but if that's shinobi's reason for running away he shouldn't try to blame GAF. Few people went that far, most of GAF who participated did not come close to going there.

A sprinkling of 10s, then?

The review thread was locked because it was fully derailed to be about Shinobi.I thought that wss because one person posted personal pics of Bioware which was not cool. Its even in the mod post not to do that.
I'm curious to read what Shinobi think now after playing more than 3 hours... I disagree with almost everything he said in the first place, maybe he changed his mind about it or not...

For fuck's sake. Get outta here with this. No, he did not leave "embarrassed because the game is bad". He left because of nonsense like these posts right here, and the toxicity of the circle jerking in this topic and others. Hell the review topic got locked in no small part due to people shitting on him relentlessly.
Some people thing the game is good to great, you know...
