Speaking of what the game might be like, has Bungie ever stated how much players should expect the game experience to change over time? And by that I mean without premium DLC.I'm with you on the scores hurting video games. But, I think it's fair for reviewers to put out their (scored) reviews already. If someone is trying to decide whether they should spend their hard earned $60 on a game or not, why should they give a fuck what the game might be like in 6 months, they want to know what the game is like now. This is the product Bungie chose to sell, it's the product that should be reviewed.
Why are there expectations that the game will even be different in six months? Or is it being assumed that everybody will pick up the expansions? Or that the core game should be scored based upon the promise of paid expansions?
Am trying to get a sense of what the critics assume is going to happen, as some reviewers do hint at this game evolving over time, though I don't know what that's based upon.
Case in point.Let me put it this way: I think review scores are useless, but I think they're even more useless for a game like this, especially after such a short time period.
Are Diablo 3: UEE's reviews being put on hold because Greater Rifts are coming soon? Should they be? Is Diablo one of those kinds of games?
