They cant change the review scores, not after all the money they got to give those scores.

To certain other people - If you were eating a plate of food and its the best thing youve ever tasted... But as youre just about to take your last bite, the chef tells you he spit in it just before serving, would you still say it deserves a 10/10? Just because you enjoyed it until the end?

Some people do not realize that no matter how great things may have been throughout the course of the game, the ending, if it is as bad as it seems, could easily drag a score down. Beginnings and endings are two of the most important parts of a story and one bad ending can leave a sour taste after what was otherwise a fantastic experience.

It is that lasting impression that gets scored and not the journey to get to that ending. If the ending makes you feel like you got shortchanged, well, then everything before that ending is meaningless.

 

I know that I wouldn't rate a book 9/10 if I found the ending to that book to be absolutely unsatisfying. Considering this series is very story driven, it should be held to these standards.

Then we can get into the argument that the choices you made meant nothing in the end, which also should cause points to drop since the gameplay clearing wasn't what was promised to you.

 

 

I have not played this game mind you, but this is just how I have interpreted this whole situation. If my interpretation is correct, then yes, the game would in fact be scored too high, but we all know the almighty dollar dictates these reviews.
