In a similar vein I find reviews in general from most outlets are written only for the release day and are often either not revised if in written form, or not addressed in later videos.
Case in point Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2 just saw a re-release where the devs didn't do much but port it to other systems and render the game at a higher resolution. It had a release day bug that caused the game to crash so [some review sites pan the game](https://xboxera.com/2022/07/21/review-baldurs-gate-dark-alliance-ii/ https://xboxera.com/2022/07/21/review-baldurs-gate-dark-alli...) giving it low scores of sub-5-out-of-10. The devs fixed it the next day. Now is that particular site going to revise their review? No. It sits at a 4/10 with a small note at the top saying the glitch has been fixed.
Court of public opinion is obviously a thing with Intel, and there's a lot of long-established fanboyism with "team green" and "team red", so there's a lot of people looking to Intel to fail.
Also I hope it's only a matter of time until companies embrace abstraction layers like dxvk.
- goosedragons 4y agoIt's better then them assuming issues will be fixed by launch day. I'm still pissed at PC Gamer for giving Hellgate London a glowing review despite it being a buggy mess and making zero mention of it. That said should a barebones $30 port of a mediocre even at time 20 year old game get that high a score to begin with?
