Street Fighter V Review Thread - MC: 77/ GR: 77.07%

[Mr Puggsly]

Shiken said: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 peopwhymire 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.

Well we all know these reviews represent where the product is at launch. But the game will be constantly discussed by new updates coming every month. 

I dont believe critics are harder on Sony. I say that as someone who plays many games from both MS and Sony.
