| hsrob said: Nope. Publishers/Developers who are willing to release a broken (but fixable) game to the public shouldn't receive any form of concession in the form of revised reviews just because they get around to patching the game to the point where it should have been at launch. That kind of practice can not and should not be supported or tolerated in any way, shape or form. There are plenty of other forums and mechanisms by which potential buyers can be informed that the game has been 'fixed', but upgrading the review score shouldn't be one of them. |
this is what I do not get...
REVIEWS ARE NOT FOR THE PUBLISHERS. They are for US. IGN is not writing a review so Sony or MS can read to tell them how bad their game is. It is to inform gamers about how they (being the reviewer) percieve the quality of a game.
Maybe this is what is wrong with reviews at the source. Websites are writing them to make a statement to the dev instead of what they should be doing... informing the consumers. And based on the responces in this thread we gamers are part of the problem because appartantly the majority want them to be a statement as opposed to know, a review to inform consumers. No need for a site to ensure their review reflects what is currently sitting on a store shelf...
