[quote=“Preacher”]On its own merits, DE: IW is a fantastic game. It’s been two years since I played the original, so perhaps I’m not quite as jaded as others, but come now - why is it that only fans of the original think Invisible War is awful? Conversely, why is it that almost all the reviews I’ve read put IW in a positive light?..
…Objectivity. You’re free to your opinion, naturally, but all I’m hearing is “compared to deus ex 1” and “isn’t as good as”. I know of at least 3 people who played IW without playing the original…
…Even if you haven’t played the original, it’s your own damn fault for believing all the hype surrounding IW…

Well I cropped your post to address the points I wanted to.
A) I haven’t played the original and I still find this one mediocre in ALL aspects and LESS than that overall.
B) It’s not that I fell for the hype, it’s that the hype described a great game and I got a bad one when I bought it. A really bad one.
C) All reviews hail every single Final Fantasy game out there.
D) Millions of ppl think all Final Fantasy games are the best thing ever.
