I'm questioning the legitimacy of these reviews honestly. The game allows 256 players, of course it won't be perfect upon release. I think it's very possible this game will be a lot better than a big reviewer's 7.

So what are you saying? That they shouldn't review the game at all. Or that they should give it a ten because it might get better

Neither. I'm saying reviews for this game might be even more pointless than reviews usually are. Don't get me wrong, I could care less about this game; it isn't my type of thing. The situation the game's in is just a prime example of the lack of game review credibility.

Did you actually read the review?  They actually talk about how they had to wait a week so they could review the game because they didn't want to base their review on the beta and wanted to wait on being able to play the actual game with actual people with the servers open.

I don't really get your reasoning for not trusting the review.

he is saying how the game is more than likely to get patched and get better along with time as the community grows...just like the other socom game, it isnt the game game that got like a 5 on IGN anymore, its 70+ material now, so as time passes by MAG become a better game....he not saying that they shouldnt have reviewed it or anything, but that the review should not be a staple that goes along with the word MAG

Did you read the end of the review?  It also talks about how Zipper has announced no plans for support on the game.  I'm sure there will be something, but it's crazy to assume it's going to change the game from a 7 to even an 8+

Whatever the case, a non-review doesn't help anyone trying to buy the game now.  What do you think reviews are actually for?  E-penis waving wars on forums or people trying to decide if they want to buy the game?

People who are looking to buy the game now aren't interested in what the game will be in 6 months from now, they would rather want to know what it is right now.  If the game did need 6 months to become an 8+ plus game and you think it's unfair it gets rated this low now and then not changed, then perhaps they should have had the forsight to not release the game yet.
