The reason why that happened was because Rocksteady gave the responsibility of the PC version to very poor porting studio. The game is fine in consoles but on PC it was broken. However the critics that don't have that will be in critics received the console version of the game? Total Biscuit says that he has a loyal fanbase that are willing to wait for his reviews so he doesn't have a problem with that. This will affect the quality of reviews because critics won't analyze the game as much.įortunately not all reviewers worry about this type of thing. Eliminates the worry about the other sites releasing their reviews first.īy not sending out reviews early critics will just rush their reviews just so that they have their reviews out earlier than the competition.
Gives reviewers more time to write their reviews.Ģ. MasterCornholio 1975d ago (Edited 1975d ago )Īs Jim Sterling said now developers will rush their reviews because of this.īefore critics received their games early and had an embargo date.ġ. Surprise, surprise Bethesda took them up on that opportunity. By having game journalist turn on their consumers in favor of pushing agendas they gave Publisher like Bethesda the chance to cut them out of the loop. When you bite the hand that feeds you or in this case give you staying power, what do you expect will happen? Publishers like Bethesda have been waiting for a chance to cut out game journalist and control the message. Releasing articles that have been extremely anti-gamer/anti-consumer.
This is largely due to game journalist effectively attacking their audience. On top of that, the credibility of game journalist has come under much scrutiny in recent memory. Yet recent trends have shown the core consumers moving away from listening to reviewers and more toward listening to video content producer, be it Youtubers or live streamers, like those on Twitch. In the past this was unthinkable because game journalist/game reviewers had the ear and hearts of the consumers aka the gamers. Publishers have always wanted to pull this, hell if publishers could get away with it, they wouldnt send review copies out at all. Ultimately game journalist only have themselves to blame for these new policies.
