Are review scores still a thing?
Although many a score or review can be suspect, on aggregate and if widespread enough they should offer a reasonable view on a product. Always exceptions but like it or not, as imperfect as they may be, reviews and scores are a fundamental pillar (although not the only one) of potential buyer info before purchase decision. Not just in the video games industry.

What do you mean by "widespread enough"? Reach of the media? Haven't they pretty much shrank in the last decade? Paper magazines are pretty much gone and online media have cannibalised each other - the media reach is fractioned into more bits than ever.
 

Bugs and work arounds

I thought it might be handy to compile a list of bugs and some workarounds.

1. All Australian ASOP terminals on all shards are broken. The work around is goto Asia summon ship and then bed log to return to Australia.

2. Extreme lag in Asia. Do step 1 because despite the broken terminals latency has been very good (tonight)

3. Hanger doors won't open. Push Left Alt + N. This could take 30-60 seconds to force open the door.

4. Can't buy weapons / backpacks from shops. Having ships with no storage like fighters at the location which have been activated at that port causes this issue. Destroy those ships and terminals will work. Or ask someone in chat to buy for you.

5. Mining - Can't scan rocks. This is due to lag sometimes waiting for 30 seconds works and some people swear by shooting the rock or taping laser will help.

If the lag is really bad ( like on Asia tonight ) then best bet to bedlog and try Australia or USA.

6. Mining- sucking up rocks blows you up. Again this is lag. Server thinks you are mining and doesn't know you are extracting. I find doing a double tap ( on / off ) works best. If you get 0.01 rocks you are good to go. If you get nothing wait 30 seconds and try again.

7. Mining - sucking up rocks doesn't fill inventory. Unfortunately you aren't getting any rocks. Bed log and try new server.

8. Entering game and falling through space station. No need to send a becon just log out and back in you will have all your stuff.

9. Mining quant and not having enough time due to hanger door lag and lift lag. Just obstruct another hanger door and get impounded. Safest way to save your cargo although small fine and 1 crime stat.

10. When steering ship mouse goes into "look" mode instead of "steer ship mode" exit chair and re-enter chair this always fixes the issue.

11. Food - can't buy food with quick buy. Try info then buy. For some reason burittos are most reliable to buy.

12. Drink. Can't get drink to hand from backpack. Drop it on the floor and then interact with the bottle and hit grab should be able to drink it now.

13. On docking ship at your landing bay the port tells you that you need to leave. Ignore the warning attend to your business and return as soon as you can. After 10 mins your ship will be impounded.

14. Star map - on picking a location instead of seeing one marker you see all markers. First step is to clear the path and try again. If that doesn't work you can try to manually find the markers and flu there or if too cluttered you can bed log and pick same server.

15. Star map. QT to first location all good but 2nd location and QT won't jump even though target is locked and all spooled up it won't jump. Press B and B again to reset it.

16. Bunkers. Sometimes everyone dead or the 2nd wave won't spawn. Best to abandon quest and take it again oddly that seems to reset it and it should then work.

17. Mining ore terminal with spinning "processing" which prevents you from placing completed orders on your ship. The "processing" notification will drop off once all orders are completed. Dont start new orders if you need to do a delivery.

Changing server can work but not reliable. Asia and Australia are worse for this bug.

18. Shop - can't buy off mannequin. Assuming it's not the cargo bug in (4) you should be able to buy from terminal.

Plenty of examples in here.

Would you say, for example, that the aggregated scores/reviews here for Elden Ring, Elite Dangerous or even Elite Dangerous Odyssey reasonably describe the quality of those games, or DLC as the case may be? (at least at the time of release):

Absolute rookies making another early access game. Shame they don't understand game development!

Just push that stuff to live. That way their devs can monitor the issues so they can fix it.

And the video doesnt even have any gaslighting. Dont understand community management either apparently.
That's why they'll never make half a billion $$$.
 
g0at's got a taste for drama now, but I think he got real lucky with the wiggle. Nevertheless, some commenters were injured in the making of this video:
