No but not most reivews thats get out early and have such a high score a bull****. We already know the actions developer take for good reviews and how you can publish your review earlier than others.
Many policies are if you rate it 90 or so you can release it early if not you have to wait.
Care to provide some proof with that statement? Just sayin.
Sure. If you remeber the Kayne and Lynch disaster. Or I think even Assasins creed had this policy. You can read it alot nowadays.
Recently Two worlds two comes in my mind.
The allegations against Topware are numerous, so it would be best to
simply list them. The following is a rundown of the various stories we
have uncovered over the past few days; do bear in mind that these are
allegations.
* European reviewers have accepted ad buys from Topware in exchange for favorable reviews.
* Topware was caught by IGN attempting to influence the rating score
of IGN's GameStats and inflating Two Worlds II's ranking.
* GameReactor was pressured to take down its Two Worlds II review
because it used preview code to write it. The rub is that more favorable
reviews released at the same time as GameReactor's were not asked to
remove their reviews, despite being based on the same code.
* Topware employees have been writing Amazon reviews, posting
YouTube comments, and posing elsewhere as members of the public to
generate positive feedback on its own products.
* Threats of legal action against one reviewer were made without the
permission of management, and rest entirely on the head of the PR
department. A reviewer was accused of pirating a copy of Two Worlds II
for his negative review, despite having been sent code.
* Destructoid itself was planned to be approached with a bribe.
Topware paid for a Two Worlds II site skin, but withheld half the pay.
The other half was allegedly planned to be paid in exchange for an
8.5/10 review from us.
www.destructoid.com/allegations-sleaze-treachery-a-tale-of-two-worlds-194521.phtml And this is really no exception in these day. And the comment from gersterman is also a proof
that EA is holding reviews back because of the controversial changes this series has made.
And this seems also to apply to origins back than.
