I bet they all lost a duel against a warrior. This xpack is fine, warriors are no longer cannon fodder. Hooray!

Better than "NO U RACIST". Less offensive.

Why bad. They are offering themselves to the Asian market. What's bad in this, they'll be as rich as they have ever been. Seriously guys.

Ah THAT'S why.
For that comeback I offer my hand in peace.

Notice I didn't say I didn't like it. I think you guys had one too many fights over this you can't actually see things as they are. The fact that I don't like how they chose ONE style over a mix of many doesn't mean I don't like it. I find it less interesting, the offering figure wasn't related to that, more to the marketing behind it.
And all of this is in my posts above.
I doubt any of those reviewers played the game long enough to actually be able to form an informed opinion. Looking at the dates of their reviews (most within the 1st week-10 days of release and many on release day...) they clearly haven't tried any of the raid content for example which is 1 of the main parts of the game. I'll be suprised if any of them even played through to level 90... Why are their opinions important or even valid ? 1 of the critic reviews is from 3 days after release... How much of the game could the guy have seen in that time even if he was playing solidly (which he wouldn't have been).
As for the user reviews... Most of them seem to have been done on release day or within 2 days. I'd be suprised if more than half of them even played the game and many of the others are just bitter haters who were waiting to give a new wow expansion a 0 before they even knew it's name.

When you're comparing review aggregates in a medium like gaming (which has more than it's share of problems when it comes to critical appraisal), you're looking at very vague general ballpark figures. I wouldn't call Pandaria scoring 7-8 percentage points less than previous expansions a newsworthy result, particularly considering it doesn't have a big gimmicky hook for reviewers to jump on in the same way TBC-Cata did.
But who cares about reviewers anyway, make up your own minds. From everything I've experienced Pandaria raises the bar across the board in a great many small ways that don't rely on blowing up Azeroth or bringing back that one guy everyone remembers from Warcraft III. It's those small things that add a richness and polish that really matters when it comes to a truly satisfying gaming experience, and it's why I think Pandaria's doing a lot more for WoW than it says on the tin.
I was wondering when these threads would show up. I must say, they're here sooner than expected. Hmmm... the Cata nostalgia threads should be showing up anytime now.
It's pronounced "Dur-av-ian."
But it's not a fact that most of the use reviewers even played the game and it is a fact that most of critic reviewers will not have played the game for long enough to have seen the content because most of the reviews are from before the raids were even released.
My guess is that more than half the negative user reviews are from people who don't play the game or are bitter ex players who were just waiting for the game to come out so they could give it a 0.... Most of the people giving it a zero have freshly created accounts and not even reviewed other games. Hmm suspicious.
why u even care? if u enyoy it play it =P?
I like it. I just dont like spending 3-4 hours doing dailies.
