I havent played Skyrim yet (not for over 1 hour at least - too busy). but based on what i've heard the PS3 version was nearly unplayable because of the tech issues. i had a similar experience with Dark Souls, a game which i would have loved to have given an 8.5, but because of the excessiveness of the tech problems i would give it a 4.
i agree if a game is so broken it spoils your experience it should be reflected in the score. that being said Skyrim is a PC game. they've had to downgrade the game to run on consoles. its a luxlury to even play it on the PS3. that being said Dark Souls was not a PC game, its inherent problems are based on the addimissions of incompitence of its developers. i had to mannually turn off my PS3 countless times for that game. and that is inexcusable.
however from the FF13-2 review i read, the reviewer did explain in depth what the problems were. and its irrelevant because the game will hold a 7.5-8 metacritic, which is what most people think it is anyway. with nearly every game you will get scores that are low and high, this is consequently one of those low ones.
