Skyrim Issues? Duh, of course, but has the smoking gun finally been found?

Still, that doesn't justify the majority of the perfect or near perfect reviews that the PC version had, especially since Skyrim does have some glaring flaws and does have some major letdowns in the PC version. 

The PS3 version got the same perfect or near perfect reviews. Those that did mention the technical problems at all pretty much glossed over them as being minor compared to what an amazing experience Skyrim is. The only exception has been OPM UK, who rightly called Bethesda out for the game's horrible performance but still gave them a 7/10 when they probably should have graded it as an incomplete. I'm very interested to see what PTOM gives it when my issue gets here, since their magazine has been swimming in Skyrim ads for close to a year now.

The lag issue could be easily looked over by most reviewers, especially those that only played a few hours in the game, like when Naz reviewed it here for VGC having only played 60 hours. Still, the PS3 version has far more bugs than the other two versions combined and it really is a shitty job by both bethesda and the PS3 version reviewers to gloss over those bugs. There's no way that version should have gotten even one perfect nor near perfect review. 

@JGarret - I agree completely. It seems that with the PS3 version of Skyrim they went back to their 90s ways of releasing their games with a shitload of game-breaking bugs and hoping that no one would notice. Daggerfall all over again. I think the whole 11-11-11 release date fiasco really messed up with their priorities in getting all versions right.
