Thats like reviewing chicken dinner before its fucking cooked. “Gee Bill, this chicken is really rubbery and gave me salmonella, I really think it’s going in the wrong direction. 3/10” jesus fuck we gotta review everything these days??
I mean, that's a fair criticism in a way. If Bill lets you taste the chicken at that point, it's reasonable to comment on what he let you taste. If he didn't think it was ready enough to get your opinion on, he shouldn't have let you taste it at all.
It's more like inviting someone into the kitchen when dinner's going to be done soon to provide feedback towards the finished meal.
Taste this, does it need more salt, more time in the oven, what should I garnish with, etc.
If the taster starts doing an influencer food review in the kitchen commenting on the understated food that needs more time in the oven and doesn't even have a garnish, they're missing the point.
On the other side, look at BG3, which was able to incorporate fan feedback and make a superior game than they would have.
Exactly. I do believe the studio should have communicated that better, though. Or maybe they did and some people decided to gripe anyway
