you two are clearly shills.
this isnt even a game is a poor digital movie.
funny how praise is allowed here but criticism is not.
you are scammers EA.
Is there something wrong with the facts I've presented? 😉
Community Manager@Vagabondie If criticism is not allowed then what are your posts?
If you want to discuss the game in an intelligent and constructive manner then no matter your feelings toward it you are welcome to do so.
@holger1405 Game score scales are out of whack because some people think the rating scale goes from 7 to 10. Nintendo fanboys were furious when Gamespot gave Twilight Princess only an 8.8/10. (More info) A Way Out is sitting at 8/10 on consoles right now (with solid user reviews). I haven't seen @ValkyrieCry's video yet (I'm not at my PC at the moment), so maybe I need that context to get what the "heavy criticism" is referring to. 🙂

I have been - and continue to be - very open about my criticism of certain EA games (Mass Effect Andromeda and Battlefront 2 in particular) and I have retained moderator privileges. Criticism is definitely allowed on this forum. In fact, I believe it's appreciated.

Yes, it tends to be extremist in both directions.
And then they are the "hobby" critics @ValkyrieCry (presumably) speaks about.
I will never understand this obsession with ratings and/or criticism. If I like a game it diden't bothers me if and how many others don't like it.
It's always subjective. "De gustibus non est disputandum" 😉
I have now seen the video. It seems like the "heavy criticism" is referring to two particular reviews rather than the overall reception (which is quite good). That makes a bit more sense.
As for the low number of couch co-op games, I think there have been quite a few popular ones in the past couple of years. From the top of my head:
It's true that they're getting a bit more scarce, but Nintendo and various indie developers are still making them. Definitely keep an eye on Steam's local multiplayer category: http://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Local+Multiplayer
