If they don't like the genre in the first place then they really have no place at all reviewing the games. 3. Disagree. It's a review, it isn't a preview. Bugs get fixed. When people look at the reviews months or years later they want to see how good the game is, not how good it was on the day it launched since that day is long gone. 4. Not really possible. Reviewers usually get early access to games and what not, so they are already getting favours from publishers. 5. Doesn't really make a lot of sense. I mean, if it was their job to review games then they would be playing them quite a bit for their job anyways. Oh and the sexism is unnecessary. |
#3 exactly it's a review and it should review the game as is not with the expectations that it will be fixed. Bugs aren't always fixed so I don't know why you're under the assumption they are. Also the review can be updated later on once they're fixed like Polygon does.
