Reviewers already do this don't they ?

Yes, they do.

Unless you work for XboxEra or Pushsquare, then they do it for free

Games that review well quiet often sell well, games that review mediocre and poor sell like crap.

If you are a reviewer, instead of giving a game 7.4, just make up a lie and say the game is a solid 8.3.

That way, lots of people will get to keep their jobs and we get more games. After Covid, game development has not been easy for developers and publishers. Give them a break.

I also enjoy bethesda RPGs but it's 2024 not 2011.

Yeah man, we can only enjoy modern games in 2024... I mean by that standard, we shouldn't be enjoying Souls games any more because it's not 2009.

Retard Alert!

OP, this already happens for every XBOX exclusive since 2005.

[CoreyFlawless]

They already lie in some way or use there ideals as a way to make some scores higher or lower

 

[Ozzie666]

Yellow chairs for everyone will solve this. Long as they clearly state, I was paid or bribed for this review.

We do NOT want bad/lame game companies to "keep their jobs" if bad/lame is their normal function.

Punishment is not inherently a bad thing, if directly at the correct targets.

While we're at it we should all be banging 400 lb babes so they feel hotter about themselves.

AI will replace you all.

I'm starting to wonder if it already has.

Plot twist: the game was actually a 6.5, but the reviewer make up a lie and say it was a solid reviewer 7.4

I feel like so many don’t get the joke

Some people don't know how to use their brains when they talk/type.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Honestly, I think they do it for the big 3 + anyone willing to pay the money. It's just marketing.

It is. And I'd argue some just have better marketing than others.

 

[Bernardougf]

You want them to lie MORE ?
there is vast and ample examples of why you should not thrust one single review by them, too much bias, political activism and personal interests has ruined the credibility of the mainstream media, the most hypocritical threads on Gaf are "reviews" thread. Of all the press media and journalism that exists, for me, the gaming one is the least honest.

 

[Toots]

We also should keep wars running forever because lots of people would loose their job if we don't.

that's exactly what we do.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

They do it when stakes are higher.

Sony / Nintendo console business for example.

They do put out more polished games than rest of the industry though, so there is some justification for that. Higher polish = better game, that’s debatable.
