Nor are there more car chase events than the ones I mentioned. If there are side missions that I may have not done to do those extra car chases feel free to correct me, but I don't remember anymore car chases than that.
Well here I am correcting you, there are at least 3 more I'm sure of in side quests. They are all scripted, though you have more room in the one where you are driving while being chased.
Can't say I agree. Management knows far more about anything on-going than people believe. What I think happens is that people confuse not knowing about the issues and not caring about the issues.
Actually people confuse "not doing what they want" with management "not caring about the issues". Oh look this is another multiple page thread of this sort of complaining.
They really BELIEVE that everything is fine with their game and the problem is only in bugs. They really believe they have released a great, finished game.
No, they believe that constantly presenting a negative perspective on the launch of the game is misleading. They are responding to the hyperbole of the "journalist" by pointing out that not all reviews of the game are negative. They are saying the game has been well received by some players, but it has big problems on console and some problems on PC - all of which they are working on fixing.
The context a comment is made in is important to understanding the meaning of the comment. If you ignore the context and isolate the sentence and ascribe your own value to it, you are creating a straw man argument. The approach is certainly popular, but it doesn't make the straw man true.
We all have our own views on the game, and as opinions those views are fine. But you have to remember, those are opinions. The person who thinks the game is terrible with no consequences or rpg elements, is just as right as the person who thinks its great with plenty of consequences and rpg elements, as are the people that sit in between them. The 1/10 reviewer is just as right as the 10/10 reviewer.
"Journalists" taking the negative opinions as facts are due for criticism of their work, and that is the context that this reply from Mr. Badowski should be read in, not some hyperbole of them believing its all sunshine and daisies.
