Any reviews released in the first week of a game should be taken with a grain of salt and any reviews released on or before launch day should be completely discarded.

With all the 'day one' patches games have, reviewers should be playing the game from launch, on the same version as everyone else. If they have any integrity.

Haaahahahaha

Sorry, not laughing at you, the idea of game journalism having any integrity. That said, it's likely an issue with editors pandering to their CEO or other boss, but still.

Yup, I wait for user reviews cause the "journalists" all have some bias or sellout.

Appreciate you giving credit where credit is due. It is 100% corporate greed.
