Yeah, we know. That’s how updates to games work. If it didn’t change forever, it means they had to roll back the update and someone’s getting fired.
Games journalists: stop it with this line. It’s the verbal equivalent of putting your “shocked” face in the Youtube thumbnail.
The sooner you stop expecting anything from games journalists, the better off you’ll be.
I also did the same with movie journalists way back. Found their opinions rarely matched mine.
IMDb used to be a much better indicator, but after around 2010 where everyone suddenly started voting it got a lot more diluted.
It had obviously started on that trajectory before, but smartphones really catapulted it ahead.
