Then there is the issue with MMO review scores and giving an updated review score for a game like Destiny.
Yes, maybe an unreasonable request, but nonetheless interesting I think. Also, in my ideal world games sites would have standalone review scores for a modded version of a game like Fallout: New Vegas or Skyrim, with the very best mods that the Nexus has to offer. Of course the core gameplay is often not changed in an update of a game, if you are not a fan of the Assassins Creed combat then a bug fix by Ubisoft is not going to change that.
Now this idea is of course extremely difficult to complete with various amounts of games to review on a consistent basis and only so little time. With Christmas coming up many people will be getting a game as a gift, a game that has had a month or so to work out all the kinks and which may be a very different experience than the release version of the game. Overtime these issues where fixed and for someone purchasing the game for the first time on a Steam sale right now may not run into the issues that the reviewer did and enjoy their experience more for it. Therefore, should sites update their reviews when these issues are fixed or content is added that improves the game? One of my favourite games of all time is Fallout: New Vegas, and although it got solid reviews it has various bug issues that was listed as a con and reflected in the overall scores. Some outlets has given Halo: Master Chief Collection a weak score because of the issue that game had at launch, the same goes for Assassins Creed Unity which has various bugs, among other problems, and the overall score reflects that. Should game websites post updated review scores? For example, many of the recent AAA titles have had launch issues and serious bugs that can ruin your gaming experience and the scores are reflected in that. So with the review score playing such an important role, I would like to pose a question to you. Many people, especially those who have been burned with pre ordering games such as Aliens Colonial Marines will wait to see a review score before purchasing a game. How people often make the decision about which game to purchase will often come down to two factors, being fans of a series, and the review score. Some gamers will never purchase multiple AAA titles a year, or they will have wait to purchase a game when it goes on sale, like on Boxing Day. One will have to pick Far cry 4 over Assassins Creed Unity, or Dragon Age: Inquisition over Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. Unfortunately, many people don’t have hundreds of dollars to spend to purchase every single game that will come out, so tough choices will have to be made. ‘Tis the season for gamers to blow all of their money on the massive amount of AAA games that have recently or will be out very soon.
