Harassed for a Negative Review by ACDragon

I wrote a negative review for Hitman: Blood Money a couple weeks back, and I've gotten multiple comments harassing me for it, because Blood Money is apparently the Holy Grail of the Hitman franchise, and negative reviews are blasphemy.

Honestly, the controls in that game are clunky as hell for the PC version and they always have been ever since the game first came out. Sabotage and stuff like that takes longer in BM than in Absolution and in the wide-open areas of BM, some woman mowing her lawn half a mile away turns around and instantly everybody on the map knows what you're doing and wants you dead. In my opinion, this is just as moronic as Absolution's "Disguise" system wherein if you're wearing anything that is similar to, say, a cop half a mile away, he instantly knows you're an imposter and everybody goes apeshit trying to kill you... even if you have on full body armor with your face and head entirely covered.

At the end of the review, I pointed out what should have been obvious: that much of the love for Blood Money in the wake of Absolution was nostalgia talking and not actually looking at BM objectively.

So two commenters have come (and I've deleted the comments because they were personal attacks and didn't deal with any of the relevant points of the review itself) and have said it's all because I'm a "bad player" and not because BM actually really truly does have the problems I described (despite those problems having been described, repeatedly, ever since the game first came out).

So apparently, having a negative opinion of Hitman: Blood Money is Blasphemy. Though I must point out that Blasphemy is always punished because of the human beings who have taken offense at it. I guarantee you that Hitman: Blood Money won't strike me dead for the horrible crime of blasphemy against it. I can't, unfortunately, say the same about Blood Money's fanboys.
