Do critics actually play the games they review? LOs score make me think that they do not.

After all the bad press about horrid loading zone, bad framerate, and generic story, I picked up LO to play. I am now 13 hrs into the game and on the second disc and i would like to say...Do Critics even play the games they review? LO is an amazing, beautiful, and touching game. I have not played a game that has had such an emotional effect on me in years. With its well written characters and haunting stories of love, loss, and redemption, LO is a polished gem. The battles, while not revolutionary, are fun and emersive, giving a wide range of enemies and powers. The new ring design adds a compelling adjustment in combat and the bosses are never pushovers, causing one to think out a different strategy of each one.
As for the framerate and loading zones, the ones that were unforgivable to all the critics, must have been fixed for the final product, because i have never had a loading zone longer than 5 secs and i have not noticed any framerate slowdown. This is my first time posting on this site and i do this because of the injustice the critics have done to such an amazing game. A score it does not deserve and might keep a JRPG fan from experiencing a great game.
