I honstly believe that Reviews play a smaller role then in the ninetys or the early PS2 years. Nowadays its all about hype and names. Its a flow like everyone knows whats the game to buy today. And no review could change that. Hibudget title have such a high quality that the smaller discrepancys play no role anymore.
The people who read reviews are the people who buy every high budget game anyway. And the others dont care at all.
GT has a Fanbase which buy the the product no matter what. And this fanbase is pretty huge. Its like FF just bigger. FF has 5 Million people which buy FF no matter what. And GT has 8 Million People who buy the game no matter what.
At best I would say that maybe a couple of thousend people wont buy it but even then why should one not buy a game which he wanted and waited years for it because it has a slightly lesser score then it should have ?
