You don't understand, companies send out review copies in advice, sometimes weeks. So when they received the copy of LBP3(idk how early they got LBP3 but it could have been a couple weeks) they reviewed it. Then when the embargo lifted they gave their review. That's how reviews work, otherwise people would be purchasing games blind, hince the point of a review. If everyone did what you say, then we would have to wait several days after the release of each game for reviews to come out and that could result any many bad purchases. It's just the way things are, if the company wanted better reviews from LBP3 then they should have included that patch with the advanced review copy. |
It doesn't take that much energy to download a patch that came out day one. All it takes is a few minutes. Driveclub, on the other hard, took weeks for the online portiont to start functioning properly. Maybe there was a lack of communication where Sumo Digital didn't tell sites to download the day one patch before reviewing. Nonetheless, the reviews that dock LBP3 for having a lot of bugs don't give fair judgement because the bug-fixing patch was readily available and assessable.
