Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard | Review Thread
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 week ago“professional” reviewers never tell how the game runs or any problems games always have these days when they’re released. They’re basically useless.
Part of the issue is that modern games are usually getting fixes right up to release. Pre-release reviews tend to focus on things that aren’t likely to ever change significantly, like design and writing.
It would be nice if they gave a summary of issues they saw with a disclaimer that they may get fixed instead of omitting that information entirely.
They need to stop reviewing games based on “if” patches fix things. What is the state of the game right now? That sort thing.

I wait for a Digital Foundry tech review before making a purchase on AAA game these days. They tackle what’s quantifiable and add their thoughts on the game in general which is about as much as I need from a professional outlet.
