A game can still be amazing even if it isn't technically perfect.
Oh i agree, I just think that bethesda gets more of a pass on it. Basically all reviews aren't equal, if uncharted 4 or tomb raider dropped with these kind of hick ups and bugs I can't see them getting over a 8 at best.

The thing is FO4 isn't broken or unplayable. It's said to have bugs and some glitches yes, but from what I've heard it's not enough to squander the enjoyment of the game.

Most gamers don't care about shyt like this so some reviewers feel like they don't even need to really talk about it unless it prevents them from playing. Halo MCC, Driveclub etc. Yeah. Those had elements that were not working at all. So reasonably they docked it(though those were like the first games this gen that started it all off.)

I feel you but Bethesda games have much more complicated multi layered systems and near infinite scenarios that it's almost a wonder they are even as playable as they get them.

Some things just cant be figured out in beta testing without a larger sample size.

Sometimes they'll be some shyt like you can't be level 16 before going into building C with such and such helmet equipped with these exact perks at this exact time of day or the game will crash type of shyt. It can be hard to test the amount of variables that come with such a vast world and potential scenarios .
