If you wanna talk about targets, well you should see how the interest talks about Xbox exclusives. But I lets not get into that... Critics are just reviewing the product as it is NOW. Not what it has the potential to be. Hypothetically, if someone is new to Street Fighter, would you recommend Ultra SFIV for $25 or SFV for $60? One game has a ton of characters and significantly more features. The other is... a work in progress. Forza 5 was criticized while Forza 6 was praised. You want me to explain why? |
The problem is the method of the review process for the way they are releasing the game (particularly metacritic and GR). The game is getting the content patched in and we were all informed of this prior to release. Instead of just delaying the game, those who wanted to play the finished content can play the game now. Furthermore more content will be released beyond that for free as well.
If the reviews were to change the overall metas (because people are sheep and read way too much into the opinion of a few people mire than the quality of the game itself) then there would be no issue. The problem is that won't happen, and no matter how good the game gets it will always have a false score presentation to those who do not know better.
It is a touchy situation for sure, but conventional reviewing of a game like this is not accurate at all. What they should have done was a form of progressive reviews, so that people would know what content is available now vs later on down the road with a final score released after the first few updates so we will know if they kept their word about how they will go about this.
As for your comment of X1 targets, no one said that this is something that does not happen on X1 as well. Since you brought it up though, critics are certainly harder on Sony than they are MS so even bringing the X1 into this is pointless.
