For your sake, I hope it does get a 90+ score.
Eurogamer why our Starfield: review will be late (DF unaffected and will be on time)

This thread has been pretty darned mixed. We would be all better off without Eurogamer and other ideological CULTure cunts injecting their low IQ seal claps into reviews.
Their Hogwarts review was one of brilliance. Same with Edge's.

Nope.
There was some big news the other day and wanted to know what the forums were saying about it. I've got an account here so I logged on.
And I've just been drawn into posting. Is that ok with you? Is it ok if I post on a forum, pretty sure that's what it's for?
I'm sorry for not spending the last 3 years on here. Oh and a big apology for posting in certain threads, as if that proves anything.
Not that I need to justify anything to a paranoid rando (who is probably a fanboy), but on top of finding certain topics interesting I also own an Xbox myself. Imagine that.
And here I am on a forum talking about Xbox. Crazy - you couldn't make it up, right?
Good luck with your investigation, detective.

I've honestly seen political spin doctors who are more honest than youExactly
-The game probably bad technically- DF got the code
- Eurogamer and Edge are the only harsh reviewers left- Eurogamer got the code
- Only Xbox centric websites got the code:Pure Xbox didn't get the code
- But Pure Xbox reviewed Redfall low- Jizz and Windows Central gave the same score
What will these crazy kids think of next.

you keep conveniently leaving out the part about what John & DF were told about NOT sharing their code with Eurogamer (at least not since the start of the thread)
that doesn't fit any of the narratives you've been trying to push such as in the post I quoted from you where you actually tried to claim that Eurogamer now getting a code someone debunks the whole point of WHY they're only just now getting a code
No need to hope, MS already sent out the paychecks to ensure a 90+ MC score amirite?

The (of course they did) moment they take a sex toy reviewer mental case and put them on a world renowned children's (IP) game for their first ever video game review. You just can't make this shit up.
Still the best Hogwarts Legacy review.

Whose debunking anything. I have posted maybe a dozen times already about how this seems like a UK only issue for whatever reason, especially noting the fact that the US arm of Zenimax has to come in and send codes to UK outlets now. Reviewers can't exactly share codes, so if Rich uses the code for his DF Xbox, it's not like X reviewed somewhere else working for Eurogamer will be able to use the same code.
Anyway, we know for a fact that this is only happening with UK outlets.
Not US outlets.
So it's a combination of some code mismanagement including selective on some outlets not getting codes.
But every outlet is free to review the game once they get the copy, they're not blocking anyone from reviewing the game.

It's kinda lame but I also don't care.
The entire "review industry" is mostly a bunch of crap anyways.

I'll all about this.
I'm also one of the people on the fence that needs to see more than just pre release hype
Yeah, you've got nothing.
Literally now not posting constantly is to be penalised, is it? Talking about certain subjects is bad?

again another spin which isn't even true, Axios is a US outlet, and you know this because it's been pointed out multiple times in the thread but it doesn't fit your narrative that you're pushing so you instead just ignore it while pushing what you know is a lie
to the users asking why this thread is 8+ pages, this is why, there's so many posts from spinmeisters instead of actual honest discussion which instead causes others to have to waste their time debunking the BS
Exactly
-The game probably bad technically- DF got the code
- Eurogamer and Edge are the only harsh reviewers left- Eurogamer got the code
- They're only sending codes to evangalized websites:US outlets all got codes, UK only issue
- Only Xbox centric websites got the code:Pure Xbox didn't get the code
- But Pure Xbox reviewed Redfall low- Jizz and Windows Central gave the same score
What will these crazy kids think of next.
Not just Windows Central
JeuxVideo gave Redfall 65 and they got a review code.
People are grasping at straws.
Metro wrote an article on the whole debacle, blaming it on Bethesda's pettiness and not a grand conspiracy to pay US journalists to inflate review scores.
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.

Starfield threads bring out the crazy talk.

Just prior observations of shill behaviour. Hendrick's and Vox banned, and here you pop up a day or 2 later.I'll leave you to your mission, the proof is always in the pudding
Good thing for you that over a million people will be playing the game this weekend, providing you with enough media and hands on impressions to choke you.
Just a couple of days, so absolutely no way to mask the game's quality. You'll see thousands of user reviews on Steam in short order.
So any conspiracy talk makes no sense

It's paranoia from the ABK acquisition thread. Only people who posted there on the first day are allowed to participate. Literally everyone else is an alt simping for Lulu whatshername
I'll leave you to your mission, the proof is always in the pudding
Yeah man; everyone who writes stuff you don't like is secretly being paid by someone else to write it.
Get a grip and grow up.

Ok, Axios, any other examples ? 1 is hardly a trend.
Read O Ozriel 's post above, Metro UK themselves are talking about US outlets not having this kind of availability issue.
Clearly this is effecting UK outlets more, but it also isn't something as petty as some peddlers are trying to paint like outlets which gave Redfall a low score, we have seen multiple examples of that being debunked here.
You should maybe point to some of those posts, including your own, before accusing anyone else of not having an honest discussion, friend.

Why wouldn't they get a review code? Nothing changes. Water is wet.

No that I read Eurogamer anymore, but they should have at the beginning and end of their review (that would come out as soon as the embargo lifts) that they were not given enough early access to fairly review the game.
But they won't, so it'll only be this half-hearted, halfway complaining. Truly Eurocuck.
All the other outlets not given access should do the same. If they don't, then they'll be just as bad.

You're right about it being easy to gauge it better once it releases.

Colt Eastwood and co.? Yeah, I agree, why wouldn't shills like him get one.

Review outlets can choose however long they want to review a game.
They always have been able to do that, and always will.
The whole "must release the day the embargo lifts" thing is partly why the "review industry" is so lame.

Xbox guys, outlets, YouTubers got codes. Some didn't. Nothing burger.
It is a problem if you pick and choose who you give access to, though.
I'm not making this as an accusation in this instance, but, if you as a creater of something give your product - whatever it is, not just games - only to outlets that you can trust - aka know will give positive reviews - that is a big, big issue for the consumer.

They don't, but for some reason it has become the norm in the gaming industry. Probably to do with games often taking far longer than any other media to complete or get a good feel for. Other mediums can be finished in no more than three hours (including most books at a push).
And I don't blame the reviewers to be honest; I blame the game publishers who want the good reviews before the games go on sale.
I don't like the dude, and he's often full of shit.
But he does review games and has a YouTube channel with 157k subscribers. So…
i don't see how giving him a code blocks them from giving Eurogamer or Edge codes. Totally unrelated things.

It's sadly just how the review industry works.
It's all about timeliness. Other than a few very rare exceptions, outlets see far less engagement with reviews that aren't with the competition, at the time of the embargo lifting. And that costs them money, perhaps even making doing reviews not viable.
It's more news than reviews. And few people care about news that's more 'olds'.

Eh....all you need is one to debunk your theory that this is only happening with UK outlets my man. At this point, I don't think we can say there is any rhyme or reason to any of it really.

That's precisely what I'm saying as well, notably this is happening to more UK outlets, less so, if not at all, in the US and the US branch of Zenimax is having to pick up the slack and send codes to UK outlets.
It's an weird situation all around. But UK outlets, even those who gave Redfall low scores, *are* getting codes.

No, no, the generic "redfall review" statement has been brought up in so many posts here.
