It’s pretty depressing knowing that all of the review sites are holding off on their reviews just to avoid fan backlash.

This makes no sense for two reasons

1. Most of the reviewers are going to likely be Metal Gear Solid fans who will likely admonish the game for the same reason the fans are "Metal Gear In Name Only".

2. Delaying any reviews simply to avoid backlash isn't ultimately going to alleviate said backlash (pointless as most of is).

They're holding off on reviews because they literally could not play it until yesterday. It's an online-only game and servers just went up yesterday.
