I agree, this happened to Destiny. If you go back and read the reviews now it was like they were looking for reasons to can it. 

Guys..... are you serious?
The game is getting hit because of its flaws and they are bringing it to the public, or would you rather wait for same day reviews (destiny) and others? This was needed and is to warn you the gamers but since you're all defending sony for no good reason have fun with -bland- game.
Guys relax its a warning if what they said is your cup of tea do it but if its not then you know better than to get it. jesus... gamers are the worst people to please in this world...

I find it pretty amusing how many people are acting like the media is just trying to unfairly butcher this game before release lol

It's absolutely excruciating watching "gameplay" of this title. I mean there's a fucking QTE/button prompts for something like a character doing a 3.2.1 countdown. Like seriously? You know it's bad when you gotta push triangle for a character to say 3....triangle, 2....etc.

Honestly. I get the impression that the guys who made this realized at some point that there's way too much cutscene compared to gameplay so they just threw in button prompts everywhere to make the player feel like they're actually contributing to the experience.

Mindboggling

This mentality is why we keep get bug riddled games. If a game needs a day one patch to run properly, then it needs to be delayed. Most of these day one patches don't fix the issues they are supposed to and introduce new ones. This generation of gamer is far to willing to put up with this nonsense. If publishers were so busy trying to cram all there major releases into the fourth quarter of the year, we wouldn't be seeing all these bugs.

Destiny was overhyped and 'okay' at best. Poor story and very repetitive. So maybe there not easy targets but really not such good games?

Destiny was different IMO. The game had open and closed betas. It was kind of hard not to know what the game was about before it launched.

You know a good review is one where the reviewer is objective and not subjective to their own interest? Also if the reviewers of Sony games in particular don't like the genre or type of game maybe they should stay away from reviewing the games. The EG Driveclub reviewer apparently wanted an open-world game rather than a track-based racer, so he criticised Driveclub for what it isn't rather than what it is. This doesn't happen with non-Sony games though, so its very much an agenda.

Also you apparently don't know about EG's "opinions" of PS4's first year. Check it out and tell me how its writing style doesn't indicate hatred towards PS4.

It's hilarious to read sony fans' comments in this thread. Gotta restock popcorn today.

Coming from EG its hard to believe the authenticity of this article and the views of the writer.

Quite funny the number of non Sony players worried about the state of it's game and how worried they are about our well being and want us to be informed and that better games were released.

I should be thankfull, but I'm suspicious of their intentions.
