If that is a case, it's a good idea.
LOL. What happened? I missed it.
Probably just mad they gave it the score it deserved, 3/5.
Metro is trying to find some excuse but doesn't make any sense. Any publisher, and specially the platform holder, can send review codes from any region. Even small indies can do it.
Bethesda is withholding Starfield review copies in the UK
Many websites and YouTube channels will be unable to review Starfield for several weeks, as Bethesda refuses to send out advanced copies.metro.co.uk
Starfield threads bring out the crazy talk.
But i don't like them all, it's not just EG or Wired, even IGN with their fair score had to push nonsense and irrelevant issues into their review. Don't care for them or feel sorry for them, also not hate them or something just feel like they are reaping what they sow.
HL & FFXVI confirmed that I no longer need to read any written publication's review. Zero journalistic standards.
Or perhaps they and the rest of the gaming critics should stick to review games and not lecture us how society should be.
As serious as leukemia; no outlet is entitled to a review copy.
We only have 2,000+ twitter followers, and almost 7,700 followers on Instagram, that is pretty low, not even at 10K. Our highest is YouTube at almost 11,000 subscribers and our website gets less viewership than Instagram per month which is sad. I think I need to invest in some aggressive advertising, but the issue is money. All the giant woke-tard tech/media companies are eating up all the SEO and getting attention with their annoying outrage articles. Let me tell you man, the media is not your friend, they do not give a fuck about you, trust me. They want easy money and they do that by making people angry, I hate to tell you this but negativity gets so much attention and generates a stupid amount of traffic that it is unreal. We try to write a negative piece here and there, but we do it in a way where it riles up the fanboys without the political bullshit and we do it very rarely, otherwise it's difficult to survive sometimes. We have writers on all three big fronts, (PS, Nintendo, Xbox) we just sit there and brainstorm ideas and it usually works wonders. I am not gonna sit here and lie that console wars don't get any attention, they 100% do, especially on twitter and its also hilarious to watch people argue on instagram and flaming each other. Quite the entertainment.fun fact, the same person at Xbox Era that gave Redfall an 8.5 is the one that gave Armored Core VI a 6.5
I mean I’d find it hard to believe you guys have lower metrics than some of the Twitter troll/fanboys that for some reason got early codesor Xbox Era…
just seems like they’re being selective and definitely giving preferential treatment to ‘reviewers’ that they know will follow the “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” approach
unless you are xbox (redfall - incredible fun) era of course
yeah after their article, and making sure review wont fall on day1

nah most people got codes. The people that didn't are just coping. Starfield looks good and will most likely be received well.unless you are xbox (redfall - incredible fun) era of course
yeah after their article, and making sure review wont fall on day1
anyway none of this is anything new of course,
Eidos PR "managing" review scores of new Tomb Raider
Eidos is at it once again, this time asking publications to hold low review …
basically wait 2 weeks to see the real metascore.
probably another amateur hour shit, that will blow on their face

On one hand I don't let reviews cloud my judgement of games in general, so I don't care who gets review codes. On the other hand, this is wild.

Are you sure those are the only people who did NOT get codes?Are you sure those are the only people who got codes ?
Just as there will be wayyy more people and sites that did not get codes.
Are you sure those are the only people who did NOT get codes?
These outlets must be harder up for money than I thought…
86 is a great score, the problem with this game is the kind of expectations it has especially because it's an Xbox console exclusive. People are expecting it to be a 94-96 type game, I personally think it'll score anywhere from 85-90 after maybe 70 reviews.
I just subscribed to your YouTube channel.
Nope. Most people got codes, some didn't. It is what it is. Some were left out there to dry. It should also change nothing on their end. they will still get to review the game, just not at the time they wanted. They should suck it up. Better luck next time.
Disagree if you want, this wasn't an opinion but how it actually works.
They didn’t lie though; Spencer himself admitted that they lacked games by saying that 2022 was “too light on games”

They’ll spend more time flaming over this thing than playing it, no doubt.
They can buy the game like everybody else and review it. They are not entitled to a free early copy.
