Yes, absolutely. If multiplayer is broken, then surely the game doesn't work properly and scored accordingly.

they've done it for a few other games.... I know simcity was another one.

Skyrim, I'm not sure which one they reviewed it.

Yes, it should be done for every game. But, the review score should go back to its previous score when the server issues are fixed.

No, I don't think it's right, but because I don't agree with how games are reviewed.

I mean, I understand that when magazines were the only way for us to know about the games and its quality, developers and reviewers would work with unfinished products with the promise of "it will be fixed by launch". It was the only way to have the games reviewed in time for its launch.

The problem is that this practice still exists today with web sites that don't have theproblems of the old magazines. There is no excuse to review a game based on an unfinished product when developers could provide a fully finished code of the game, with the so often news of "the game has gone gold" to make the reviews.

Of course, usually most of the problems are fixed by the time the games are launched, but when it doesn't happen, we have sh!t like this.

yes, it should be done more,
battlefield 4 should have got it score droppet to,
it would really be better for sites to rereview games after big updates (not paid dlc, that should be scored alone),
but sadly a review of a new game gives a site more travel than a rereview of an "old" game

Yes, it is a bit of a slippery slope, however, they updated the review to be accurate as to when the game released (as opposed to pre release) and as long as they hold that line, I don't see a problem.

It shouldnt be increased when servers are fixed.
That will force developers and publishers to release games that work properly on launch.

Sure.

I'd still like Polygon to just go away though.

Only if they improve the score when the servers and other issues are fixed, along with other improvements such as free DLC.

This is why people really should appreciate Nintendo more and more. Nintendo's quality control is the best in the industry. You never see crap like this on a Nintendo system. And it is not just Sony being singled out. This crap has to stop. These companies need to stop worrying about meeting quarterly profit expectations and rushing games out. I used to buy a ton of games upon release. Now I buy very few. I'm tired of buying incomplete games and paying full price. I'd rather wait a few months, get the finished product, and save $20 bucks.
