I don't understand why people are so upset about EG. Basically, they are saying that, two month from release, there are still big problems with the game that are likely to still be there at launch. They are just saying to wait for reviews before buying to be sure most problems are fixed...

I think that is what we should expect from gaming journalists. If the game is fixed in two month, it will get good reviews and that is it.

Sure we can complain about the fact they did not do that in the past which is not very fair for The Order... But in the past, they were not broken games released on a regular basis by big publishers...

Let's just hope they do this for every game for which they have doubts starting now...

The thing is since 7th gen beggining we have broken games release. On UC and MCC those guys ironed out the problems but on DC and Order they are witch hunting... If they keep at it from now on we will stop bitching.

Ok I got your point. I can't really tell because I wasn't following Video game-related news as closely during 7th gen. Nevertheless, I think it's better to complain when game journalists "forget" to mention problems (or minimize) in games (previews or even worse : reviews) leading to gamers buying disappointing games day one full price.
