I think people are badly mistaken when they assume DC scored what I did because of server issues.
A. Sony (or Evolution, one of them) said recently that the servers were functional for reviewers.
B. A vast majority of the low scoring reviews I have seen either don't even touch on network issues, or barely mention them.
It's not a situation where a 71 meta game would have been a 90 or something. Or even an 80.
