@grapeslime @andmcq True, fair enough. So why then, does this 'as of now' review only apply to certain games. By the same token, Unity should score much lower, with a updated review to come later. Instead, all errors in Unity are ignored.
This is concerning to say the least. Gamespot's reviews simply aren't consistent enough anymore. How can Halo: MCC be awarded a 6 when the reviewers only complaint is that a MP doesn't work: a fault that will remedied within the coming days. By comparison, how can a game like AC: Unity, a game which is systemically broken and undoubtably unfixable in the short term, be awarded a 7?
I don't care much for review scores, but it strikes me that Gamespot are using this feature of their reviews to promote games unjustly.
... it just so happens that the games being promoted are from Ubisoft.
@gamerboy100 See, they're lying through their teeth here. They would have clearly experienced game breaking bugs in this game but have opted not to mention them.
@Hicser03 @andmcq Didn't realise that. Still, in the interest of journalistic integrity Gamespot should make this point to readers and point out, that for some 'reason', they weren't sent what in most cases would be the two best versions of the game. Very unusual.
