Good on MGS5 for being a staunch performer. Witcher 3 was a mess, still is, since the framerate is still not a solid 30fps, the load times are still awful and the presets wildly inconsistent. Even in it's awful state it looks better than Fallout 4. Goodness, these third party games are really awful on consoles.
And yes, these reviews, some how last gen if a game performed worse on one console over the other, one console would get a 9/10, the other a 8-7/10. This gen, games receive stellar appraisals when framerate is generally awful, we have games on certain consoles which are at 0fps, 1-2fps without much of a whisper........
Exactly, but people will no doubt try to impress upon you that "these weak consoles" are the culprits. Even weak AMD CPU's coupled with entry level GPU's run this much better.......Check a brief snippet of a weak AMD CPU and the 750ti

It's been happening a lot, check the MCC collection, that got pretty good reviews and MP was totally broken at launch, even SP to a certain degree. The Witcher 3 got amazing reviews on consoles, but it's still an inconsistent preset, struggling to stay at 30fps mess with awful loadtimes. Usher in Fallout 4, some pretty solid reviews, but watch how this game looks and performs, I mean 0fps at times, awful animations, awful character models, no shadows past my feet and where are the shoutouts?
Even BLOPS 3 is one of the worse performing COD's ever, but it's getting solid reviews as well. On the flip, I've seen some solid performing games with high technical details, quite playable, trashed.
A stutter is not necessarily 0fps, you can lose controller response/feedback or visual feedback with higher frames.
