If that is true, it's very interesting how they don't come across any bugs while playing Skyrim on ps3 but sure do when they play other games. I find that unlikely. Extremely unlikely. Especially since Skyrim is such a long game and reviewed by so many people. Finding out about these problems didn't stop them from giving the game GOTY awards. I think it's more likely that they did encouter several problems but because they liked the game overall, they chose to overlook them (i.e. they didn't think they were a big deal).
Take Driveclub for example. Some reviewers went out of their way to update their score and deduct points because of problems they didn't encounter when they reviewed the game. They felt no need to update their Skyrim score for some reason. I think certain games are judged more harshly because they are reviewed by people who are already negatively disposed towards them. I think most people would agree that XIII-2 was better than XIII, but the reviewers were influenced by the negative reception of XIII by gamers and were too harsh on XIII-2.

That is not what I said at all.
Also, Skyrim wasn't reviewed by many people on the PS3, at least not on Metacritic.
I don't believe that updating scores was something anyone even thought about until recently.

Never said that that's what you said word for word.
What's your take on XIII and XIII-2? Don't you think that they review game with a certain mindset and that affects their score? Even if you haven't played them, how likely do you think it is that they felt that XIII was awesome and XIII-2 a disaster? Obviously they ignored problems with XIII due to hype surrounding it. When the hype was gone, all they could see were the negatives.
