The problem is a lot of so called professional reviewers , are GAF members, and it's clear to see their loyalty lies first with GAF , over their own readers. There has been a campaign of hate against Ubisoft and this game in particular on GAF, since this game was announced to run the same on Xbone and PS4.
They have had their pitchforks out on GAF for weeks for this game , and today they were foaming at the mouth to see this gamer get bad review scores. If any review is above 7/10, they claim it's paid for, or the reviewer didn't have the guts to rate it low. And even now we have so called professional reviewers in that GAF thread, piling on this game.
I think it very strange that so called unbiased professional reviewers would frequent a place daily like GAF that has a agenda against certain games and publishers. How exactly do you expect to remain credible when it's clear your loyalties are with GAF, and not your own readers. I am not calling you out in particular , I just think it's a sad state of affairs when so many people in this industry are GAF members, and feel peer pressure from their fellow gaffers to tow the line and follow the hive mind mentality that whips up a negative frenzy around games like Assassin's Creed Unity, weeks before the game releases.
It's very hard to take any of you seriously when you are members of such a biased and hostile forum as GAF. It's hard to know if you are all telling the truth in your reviews, or just looking for approval from your fellow GAF members.
