The XBox 360 had the same problem to start with - they are just rushing everything

Polygon like the once great magazine Edge lost a hell of a lot of credibility,i have no problems with review scores been low on games i have been looking forward to, but when you get certain games that are as good as perfection you are likely to get like The Last Of Us.

Hundreads and hundreds of perfect scores and some just under yet this Polygon site gives it a 7 and then scores another game everybody else has trashed [can not think of the name] a outstanding score.

There is never ever going to be perfection but like mrnelster said The last of us was as close to perfection as you were going to get.

Obviously when you are really looking forward to next generation consoles and a game such as killzone you want to see rave reviews and not really low scores�..I will judge by myself when i actually play it and will be intrigued to what the American gamers have to say early tomorrow morning through social media channels such as youtube and stuff.

Ign.com gave Killzone Shadowfall a 8 and even that surprised me,they did say multiplayer is where its at and thats the main reason I'm buying it even though i will play through the single player part of the game first.

There is even a video of a Dualshock 4 controller R1 button sticking and not working after just 8 hours play.

Dualshock controller problems

You keep searching and typing and you will find plenty of articles and like you say i guess there will be issues with the Xbox One in some form or another.

I used to buy gaming magazines many years ago but gave up when I realised they seemed to give good reviews to certain company's. I'm sure a few nice little bonuses have passed under desks to aid in the review score rising a little.
As for GTA V or any game I enjoy I couldn't give a monkeys what any reviewer says as it's just their opinion.
Take Killzone Shadowfall for example, it doesn't matter how good the reviews are as I already know it's not the type of game I enjoy playing so therefore it's irrelevant to me. People can tell me how happy they are with it and what an amazing game it is and I'm very happy for them but I still don't want it. I loved playing BF3 but I don't like BF4, in fact I'd rather they remade BF2 as that was best of all. IMO
Of course the PS4 will be better than the PS3 but at this time I'm happy with the PS3 and have no reason to upgrade. In a few months when all the hype has died down I'll see if there are any games worth upgrading for.

The same goes for any magazines reviews on any product, I only take them as an indication as to what maybe true. When searching for reviews on products online I mainly ignore the 10/10 reviews and look for the negative ones as they usually give a better picture.

As far as I'm concerned mainstream media has always been BS

I have been deliberating the last couple of days cancelling my order, its a puzzle to me why Sony wants to beat Microsoft in wrecking their console credentials.

...the reported failure ratio is 0.175%, which is minimal.

As a term of comparison, in 2008 the Xbox 360 was reported to have a 16% failure ratio, while the PS3 and the Wii had a 3% failure ratio.

According to Consumer Reports data the average failure ratio of consumer electronic sits at around 15%.
