...He isn't wrong there, dude. You can finish the missions in minutes if you rush and abuse Reflex.
You can finish portal in about 20 minutes if you know what you're doing, so what? The normal play time on Portal is approximately 6 hours for a first timer.
You
cannot finish all the side op missions in under an hour, specifically not on your first run through and when you're not using a guide. That's disingenuous as fuck. He's just pandering to the popular opinion by echoing the popular sentiment at the time.
You just proved my point, you can only do it if you're speed running and you know exactly what to do in each mission.
Unless he's the little kid from the film "The Wizard" he did not clear that shit in an hour, so many of those side ops require so much trial and error to get through them the first time. It took me over an hour to clear Intel Operative Rescue OP because you have to learn the enemy patterns each time you play through that mission.
Angry Joe is a liar plain and simple.
Maybe he should put an asterisk next to the "Under one hour!" claim with (*as long as you're speedrunning and using a guide). Playing the game organically you will NOT finish all the side ops in an hour.
I'm not surprised Angry Joe is misrepresenting the truth again on his Titanfall review, because I've already seen him do it, in my aforementioned example.
and who the fuck calls out other gaming outlets when doing a review? What the hell do the scores that other outlets give a game have to do with his own review? This guy is our alternative to the mainstream gaming media? No thank you. Can you imagine AO Scott of the New York Times saying "WHAT IS OWEN GLEIBERMAN TALKING ABOUT IN HIS REVIEW OF SPIDERMAN 2!"
Angry Joe is incredibly unprofessional in everything he does, even less so than the mainstream gaming outlets GAF criticizes.
