Jimquisition scores (the brilliant) Dragons Dogma 2 A 3/10 and drops the metacritic by 2 points... Is that fair?

I read his review now and I agree with him.
His lower score is not about the game could have been but what more reviewers should do when faced with so atrocious micro-transactions mechanics.
The developer probably used more time creating micro-transactions mechanics than mechanics to the own game.
If more reviewers could have that same sense pro-consumer we should be be having to buy abusive games in terms of micro-transactions.
His review is a good slap to the industry to see if they wake up but sadly it will be criticized by weird gamers and forget by the industry.
Maybe one day more jump the cause and the true message finally reach in the publishers and developers.
For me games should receive below 5/10 if it is:

- Rushed and unpolished
- Bloated with micro-transactions
- Randomized lootboxes micro-transactions
- F2P with P2W micro-transactions

Prior to said transition, like even before YouTuber Jim, then-Destructoid writer Jim had a ton of hot take reviews, dude was Armond White level for quite a while. If these reviews are your metric for poor mental health (which I personally disagree with), then that predates the transition by a lot of years.

Don't really care. Loved the game, this fat fuck can continue living his miserable life.
I used to watch him 5-6 years ago when he used to shit on garbage released from steam greenlight and was on the major fuck konami phase, then his every show started having jokes about how he enjoys getting shafted with oversized dildos and yeah completely turned me off and I stopped watching. Then once I saw him dressed up in a dress while browsing youtube and realized the dude literally went complete bonkers

I mostly played it in 3 hour sessions and near the end of every session I thought to myself why am I even playing this, I finished it to get my money's worth but this feels like a complete scam by Itsuno. This is a game 99% won't go back into, the NG+ is worthless and pointless. Instead of an arisen saving the world most of the time I felt like a chump doing menial side quests, for an example-observing the beggar side quest is pure time padding, you can sit up to 15 mins just waiting. They are really trying to push this game to be seen as good as elden ring because FF7 rebirth seems to most likely be the GOTY this year and that means a PS exclusive wins and we can't have that.

That's what I'm worried about too.
He wasn't kind to Helldivers and I think much of that was politically motivated too. He might not have liked the tone.
Sterling did give FF7 Rebirth a 9/10, so who knows? Although the reception of the demo has been mostly positive, I'm willing to bet there will be a good amount of Xbox-aligned clowns (Gene Park, Tassi, Digital Foundry), or pretentious moralists (Eurogamer) who will try to tank the MC and/or public opinion.
The game is none of those things. In no world is less than a 7-8.I read his review now and I agree with him.

Looks and plays amazing.
The only problem is clunky story delivery and some tediousness. But 34 hours and I can’t put it down.
Whole I agree the game is overrated by some, the usual score of 8 is fine. Acceptable
I agree it balanced out but I still think its a bogus review.
We've had games that drop in score because of similar reviews when they deserved better
I thought we agreed this person was not well for years and long before transitioning.tried to give you the benefit of the doubt
