Forums - Gaming - does every game get dropped down in average by unknown sites?

^they always release the review late

 

 I just replied to that even before I saw your post.

If it was reviewed late it was because the site/mag/whatever either didnt sign the Konami NDA or because they werent even invited to get early access to begin with.

 

 well since they didnt get early access doesnt that mean that their not popular and not professionals

 

 WOW, are you really this stupid?

 

 no,and i dont like the insult im not reporting you though.

well then tell me why you think that a site doesnt receive a review copy of a game?

Already did that, several times.

 

For a game like MGS4 or GTAIV NOBODY received advance copies for review.

I thought the reviewer was a bit harsh...
So I don't fully agree with the review

^have you played MP3,and if so does it really deserve a 6?

I haven't played it enough to comment, but if you read the review they rave about the gameplay and actually recommend the game, but are upset at the changes in atmosphere and design from the previous Prime games.  It's a fair comparison to make, I would say, and the review as a whole is a more useful gauge of the game than the score itself, as usual.

 

 thats what im saying in the end the score is low,you know why i tink that,for them to get people to visit the site more

 if they are not always the lowest then why is it that all the time a games average drops overtime?

 Because the highest reviews always come out first. The late reviews tend to be middle of the pack. Above the lowest and below the highest and bring down the score to somewhere in the middle.

around a month after the release


I would say it is a one time anamoly associated with the fact that the game was hyped to a level never before seen in the video game world.

@ Fishie
Insults don't win debates... Just makes you lose them

Well, as a long-time reader of that particular website, I disagree with you on this specific case. That's not to say that other sites don't do what you suggest, but I don't believe this one does.

EDIT:  They are also typically much later in reviewing games than the major websites.  They don't do as many reviews, either.
