First off, the review embargo itself is quite strict. While most video game embargoes contain some kind of restrictions on what you can talk about or use in video footage, this one forbids any discussion of the second half of the game and limits video footage to just three scenes.

Access Journalism
Quote:
- absence of demanding accountability towards the questioned respondent
- avoiding controversial topics so as to maintain access to the respondent
- pre-approved questions, no gotcha questions, softball questions
- sometimes even respondent's control over how the interview will be edited and which parts will be aired

Also no complaint about
Joker's Metacritic score? that would also provide a lot of ammunition that Journalists are correct.
However it doesn't matter. Continue to believe what is being told, critical thought should be reserved for a particular tribe and deviation from that is verboten.
