I completely get why you don't like it, Ben, but I'm a little disappointed at just how quick the review went. You don't touch on a lot of what folks like myself are interested in: The gunplay, weapons, enemies, animations, the various environments, the sound design, the overall package... Most folks knowledgeable about id's pedigree aren't going to be buying this for the story, surely?
I realize that you dislike the game and wanted to give us that message very quickly, particularly for those of us who are hyped for a new id game, but I can't help but feel as if you brushed over this one without really giving it much of a chance. To be frank, you're not giving your readers much to go on other than, "I didn't really like this game at all." It seems really disappointingly misleading.
I only wanted to bring this up because I have a healthy respect for your review style, even if I may disagree with you from time to time, but this was sort of awkward to see after watching Giant Bomb's quick look, which showed the game in an extremely positive light. Going from that to this rather brash brushover is jarring, to say the least.
I'd love to hear more of your thoughts or further explanation about the review if you don't mind!
