So first we needed gaming journalists to tell us which games we should plan on liking long before they were released to prop up the pre-order numbers and give the publishers confidence in their marketing budget.

Now we need game journalists to tell us that we shouldn't be buying broken products.....Call me cynical but: 1. we shouldn't need someone to tell us this and 2. They are protecting their own interests as many of these 'broken' games tend not to have advanced copies which significantly devalues any (journalist) reviews for the games as they tend to come after release and everyone has already picked up their pre-orders.

If you ask me game journalists helped to create the problem.
