Will the Fallout New Vegas Review Score Be Changed?

Does anyone know if, after the game is patched, GS will change their review of Fallout: New Vegas and remove the broken/buggy emblem?

I know its not a big deal because I can just read the review, and know that they fixed it and I know they will probably have that little box in the review that talks about DLC/patches but do you guys think they will change the score?

I've never seen them change the score but they will put a little box in about the patch and tell how much/little it improved the game.

7.5 is still good for a buggy game.

7.5 is still a good score. Get over it.

They shouldn't change it.

They reviewed the project that was released, the review matches the product that was reviewed.

They did what they're supposed to. I'm personally of the opinion that the product that ships on release day is the FINISHED product, and should be reviewed as it is at that point. Because that's the state that it's gonna be when people buy it. Patches can be released later, but that doesn't change the fact that what's being sold is an unfinished buggy product being sold before it's ready for release. And reviews should reflect that.

Lol I knew there would be people like you, even though I said its no big deal...

I doubt it. The PC and GOTY versions will get new scores. There's the Obsidian's chance.

Exactly. If Bethesda/Obsidian wanted a better review, they should've released a completed, thoroughly tested product.

Why even make the topic if it isn't a big deal for you? So, what was the meaning with creating this topic anyways?

Why should it change? heaps of people have bought this game and are currently playing it in this state. biggest_loser

Exactly. People impressed by Fallout 3 aren't the type of people who care about bugs and a lack of polish, so I doubt reviewers complaining about the sloppiness of the latest Fallout will harm sales anymore than people complaining about excessive gore in the latest Saw movie hurt sales.

No. And it shouldn't change. Not everyone has access to the internet to get these patches. This is a review for the product on the shelf. End of story.

Besides, with the little that changed from Fallout 3, these glitches are completely inexcusable. How is this game not polished when the core game is the same minus a few stat changes and upgradable weapons? Did they completely fix everything, then add in fine aiming and all of a sudden the glitches from Fallout 3 returned?

In my opinion the total GS Player review score and Metacritic scores are better to refer to anyway.

Because I'm curious on how something like this works? You should put a bit more thought into your posts.

Yeah metacritic is probably the best way to go since it gives you a multitude of professional opinions. Although I NEVER trust the player scores. Reason enough for me is that every japanese game has a far higher score for players than reviewers, not because they are better than the reviews make them out to be, but because they have a following that loves every JRPG no matter how bad. Its mainly just a bunch of fanyboys rating the games.

I think it's you who haven't really thought this topic through while you were making the tread and replaying in it.

It has never been done before, why would you argue for it or even ask when it comes to New Vegas if the score has no meaning for you? makes no sense.

If history is any indication, no amount of patches will fix this thing enough to warrant raising the score.

I've played maybe 8 hours, and encountered a couple freezes in the same place and several cases of having no sound when the game started. That's about it. So I'm okay for now.
