I mean, of course they are all subjective, and you try to find someone with similar tastes and look to them for your reviews. But when it comes to technical issues, while it can be subjective as to how much one is bothered by it, its not subjective that the characters fall through the floor and get stuck in t-poses. That's the game objectively not working as intended.

I think that comparing it to a Bethesda RPG is not an fair comparison. Bethesda RPGs have so many more 'moving parts' than bioware games.

My thoughts exactly, doesn't pull any punches.

70% is typically the lowest score you can get and still pass in most college courses. When I was in high school you could pass classes with a 60% (D). 80% (B) is good and 90% (A) is excellent.

For me the problem is that I don't understand how, on standardized hardware like the PS4, you can get such wildly different technical experiences. The glitches showcased on GB seem outrageous and very frequent, not only on Brad's plays either. So to think that other reviewers are not getting a similar experience doesn't compute.

I think that depends on who you ask lol. Seriously though I think its obvious that most gaming sites use 7 as their "passing" score like schools do, which is probably why they are reluctant to go below it except in extreme cases. I just don't understand how these kinds of glaring issues (such as the ones in the t-pose video) could result in a "passing" score from anyone.

A 70% is still a C in most high school and college courses.

Reading Brad's review, I don't see him scoring this at a 7 or above if he was forced to use the 1-10 system. I also think that this highlights the problems with the 1-10 scoring system in general.

So from the looks of Brad's review on this game, and the videos out there, it looks like a technical mess. How is it that Giantbomb is the only negative review from critics out there on metacritic? I mean, props to Brad and Giantbomb for their honesty here, but its troubling to look at these other reviews and not understand how they are arriving at these opinions. What exactly are they looking at here? Everything I've seen here makes it look like a disaster, and yet, there are overwhelmingly positive reviews out there for something that looks objectively bad.

Does anyone here understand how the whole core fighters thing works? The full game is $39.99, but I can unlock all the fighters for $28 bucks with some type of sale on Xbox Live. It seems weird for this to be the case. Would I be missing out on any content by getting Core Fighters and then unlocking the characters? Are there additional benefits to buying the full game outright?
