that can go both ways. if some game has a lot of issues at launch, and gets poor reviews because of that, it's kinda stuck with those scores regardless if they ever fix the game. if I consider getting the game a year later, I might be turned off by the poor reviews, even though they don't reflect the current product
How is a broken game being rated as one of the best next gen titles?

Yup precisely. If anything, metacritic is supposed to be representative of this aggregate of dumb/smart, clueless/knowledgable, interested/uninterested in the genre, skilled/noob. If a mom wants to set up a review site for moms and it becomes a hit, it's not her job to now employ people that are already like the gaming populace at large in order to have the scores fit within the pre-existing bell curve of gaming. It's her job to review for moms and metacritic's [dumb ass] job is to take an aggregate of all scores.
No i did not.
100% agree. This is not the reviewer's fault and looking for reviewers to change their ways will only make the problem worse IMHO. That's why I naturally tend towards devs that make decisions that are independent of things like that or even sales to some extent. Greatest example of that being independent developers.
I agree. Which is why I think the scores should be held or at least reviewers should be willing to go back and update their reviews.
Yeah, I respect Angry Joe's reviews because he really plays the game, and talks about things that you'll never see in a regular review from 1 of these big name companies/sites
Its a testament to how great of a game it is with all those problems. Multiplayer wise no shooter is even in the conversation with the BF4. Just think if it ran seamlessly with no problems. It would be a 9 or 9.5 easily. Only reason it wouldn't get a perfect score is because of the lack of great single player campaign.
2k I somewhat agree with but the game is a bit better after the patch. I'm sure their will be another patch to fix other problems as well.

I also think its stupid, but it happens all the time. I also think the scores are effected by all the death threats they receive in their inboxes
the death threats usually come after the fact, but I agree some people take shyt way too far
how come you aint mention forza when it comes to less content?

Your girl loves em....

i agree with what he's saying in the op though.

The thing about BF4 is that when it is working shyt is 
Which makes the crashes/lag/glitches etc that much more frustrating.

Forza was trashed for having less content, even though all content was new and built from the ground up. Other games were praised for Re-selling the same content they sold last year.
Doesn't make sense to me
reviewers mention where 2K fk'd up too, and EVERYBODY talks about the shytty 2kSport Servers. the highlight of 2k14 is gameplayForza 5 currently has less cars than Forza 4
If you pay attention to the cell phones sites a lot of them are starting to do a "after the hype" reviews coming back and reviewing phones after they been out for a while. This is a great idea for video games.
