Allow me to repost this exquisite comment made on the Eurogamer thread:
"We only have to look at The Crew, Assassins Creed: Unity and Halo the Master Chief Collection to know that this year publishers have really been pushing their luck when it comes to releasing games that are a little bit broken"
Let's have a look then:
The Crew: 8/10 Eurogamer:
"No game has mined that cultural seam quite so authentically or with such all-encompassing ambition. It's a game that requires and occasionally enforces patience, but like all great road trips it's about the journey, not the destination."
Assassin's Creed Unity: 7/10 Eurogamer:
"As it is, mild improvements in traversal and combat are quickly overwhelmed by the creaking systems onto which they have been grafted. Revolutionary Paris is one of the most beautifully realised environments in a series that has had its fair share of them, but the game you play doesn't really do it justice."
Yes, this was a SEVEN.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection: 9/10 Eurogamer:
"The Collection is an instantaneous embrace of past and present that combines gaming's powerful sense of nostalgia with its perpetual arms race of processing and graphical power. It is part of a growing appreciation of the past in a medium which until recently was resolutely forward-looking. Proust would bloody love it."
Those publishers must be quaking in their boots, I mean, yes, I know this is how the world works but sometimes the hypocrisy can grow quite tiring.
Tldr: They might as well release it now for a 7/10, maybe pushing an 8/10. 6/10 at the worst if Eurogamer is out to prove a point, whatever that may be.

A game whose online doesn't even work get a 9/10? Well there goes any credibility Eurogamer had.

Not only that, but the guy in the article says it's time for games like the Crew, AC Unity, and MCC to stop releasing with so many bugs and online releases. We then see what review scores they gave to those games and come to the conclusion that Eurogamer doesn't even give a shit about bugs and online connectivity issues. They just like throwing out 8's and 9's at the highest bidder it seems.
