Pretty much. Thats the thing,games have gotten much more complex than what they use to be so updates are inevitable to fix problems. Unfortunately in some cases like Halo, Driveclub, and LittleBigPlanet they all had bigger problems than anticipated. And Halo will likely be much better by the end of this week and Id also imagine LBP3 will have an update within the next week or two to fix its bugs as well so the reviews that are bashing those parts of the games will be outdated relatively soon.  THough still notable to talk about in a review

And that is where its tricky. Do you hold off on your review until the update? Or do you criticize it which is also deserved.

I guess the thing is, the consumers have to be a little more intelligent now knowing that day 1 reviews may not represent the game within a month from release.

LBP3 had a day-1 patch that some reviewers didn't download and try which supposedly fixed most major problems
