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.

The review was already written, they were just waiting for the embargo to lift.  Why should they have to download a patch and then play the game all over?  That makes no sense from a business stand point.  If they already played the game and wrote the review, there is no point for them to do that again.  From a business standpoint, they just paid a journalist probably hundreds dollars depending on how much that journalist makes, to write this review.  And now you are asking them to pay hundreds more because a new patch came out?  That makes 0 sense.

Oh yeah I forgot that reviewing games is all about business now and not giving an honest review to the people who make that business viable. 

Sadly gaming journalism has gone down the same route UBI, EA and Activision have.
