DC didn't get knocked for its server issues. A vast majority of the lower scores don't even mention them, or make a small comment about them. You know what's even better than a different review system? A different development system where devs ship working, complete games.


the game that launched is not the same game I just platinumed (literally 5 minutes ago... lol)

Its not just about DC anyways, its about being able to go back to older games and being able to trust the reviews for them. Like I said like 5 times in this thread already 2 years from now I am not going to care about what a game looked like and am going to want to know what I will get if I buy it and play it. And its not just about broken versus not broken, sometime things get free addons (which actually is the main reason why DC has improved so much) and that factors into the value of the game.

I know GTA 5 has about of scores as you can get and I have not played online heist, but it is added content and if they are good and they make the game better it changes the product that was reviewed. If someone did not purchase it because they read the online was not compelling it could make a difference to them.

Those same outlets review the DLC as well. If you're a consumer looking for an opinion about a game, there's no shortage of reviews and articles. No website is going to go back to a years old game and re-review it to see where it currently stands. Look at the PS360 gen CoD's, at least the first four or five. Great scores, yet if you tried to play online right now, there are glitchers and hackers in every lobby almost.

If you're going back to a years old game, most websites seem to do a good job keeping tabs on DLC and issues with games.
