Forums - Gaming Discussion - Wow... Ocarina of Time conveniently loses review source on Gamerankings

Well at least I can trust Gamerankings again. Sucks that Cub3d changed their scores like that though.

I wonder how many people who slandered GameRankings will come back and apologize?

I am going to guess very few.

Slander does not mean speaking based on bad info. Unless you can prove we knew it wasn't gamerankings fault at the time, it wasn't slander.

 

Actually, the definition of slander is:

"make false and damaging statements about (someone)"

Nowhere in that definition does it state if you know what your saying is true or not.

lol, why do they have to wait 10 years+ to lower a game?
They took out their decimals on the site and decided to round down instead of up. I can't say I agree with the decision myself but it's their choice, not mine. Also, many of the Zelda reviews aren't 10 years old. Gamerankings is allowing retro reviews to be added, one of which was created only a month ago.

 


That's still defying the laws of mathematics. If they take out the decimals, they have to round up. Rounding down is downgrading the score. If they did that, fine. If they were adjusting for the lack fo decimals, you round up if the decimals are 5 or higher.

So what? Go bitch to the site Cubed3.com, because they're the ones changing the decimals, not Gamerankings. You were all really fast to shit on Gamerankings when it was convenient and really quick to leave this thread after it was all said and done. You still want to stand by that blog you wrote sir?

 


When did I claim gamerankings did that in that post? I did not. Just because the thread did doesn't mean that comment meant them.

I am really sick of people assuming my stances, instead of properly reading my posts.

Well you did feel the need to teach me about proper mathematical laws of when to round up or down for some reason, so I'm wondering why you came bitching to me about that and not go bitch to the maintenance staff at Cubed3.com and teach them about it.

You also on the first page were quite behind whatever the OP was saying without doing any research into it yourself and decided you needed to inform the world through your blog. Sorry for misunderstanding but your replies didn't seem very sarcastic in tone. So like I said, you still want to stand by that blog you wrote sir?

It wasn't ambigious. The post was replying to cubed3, so the context was about cubed3. It's only ambiguous of you don't bother reading all the posts to get the context. 


 Where in my statement did I mention you? I was not talking about you. I was talking about people in general

(see how annoying that is) :p

1. I wasn't "bitching" to you. I was just explaining that the decision was wrong. If you can provide a link, we can got and tell them their decision was faulty.

2. My previous posts were based on what I knew at the time. Here, I was replying to your own post, that just mentioned cubed3 as the culprit. You chose to misinterpret that to apply all my posts in there. If I was still blaming gamerankings, I would have said it was still gameranking fault. I didn't. I replied to a post just blaming cubed3, therefore I just meant cubed3, unless stated otherwise.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Eh. Well to explain the first post in this train, this is not the first time it has happened to me. It's happened a lot.

Eh, I hate retro reviews, I doubt many (if any) games will have the same score over a decade later (yes even GTA4).

So you've seen all the ground breaking graphics and gameplay advances in the last decade, do you think you can objectively review a 10 year old game now?

Heck, even games from 5 years ago would probably not get the same scores they did if they were re-reviewed.

And yes I do blame gamerankings, they shouldn't take retro reviews into account because they are almost always likely to be lower (though I think IGN still gave OoT a 10 in their retro review.. or did i just make that up in my head..).

It's like reviewing the F40 after driving the Veyron, the Veyron blows it out of the water, and while the F40 was a great car for it's day (and one with a heap of sentimental value) you will no doubt mark it down because you've experienced a veyron. BUT there will still be people who rate it the same as they did when it first came out because of sentimental value, but the majority will say it's "crap" compared to the veyron.

You go and bitch to them. I couldn't give a crap. Either GTAIV or Zelda could be on top, or whatever other undeserving game and it wouldn'tmake a difference to me. I commented in this topic because while you guys saw conspiracy theory, I saw this. Cute pic huh?

Yeah congratz Naz. You not only fooled every Nintendo fanboy on this site, but an entire seperate site dedicated to Nintendo fanboyism. You sir are a master of deception.
