PLEASE INFORM me of a better review site then gamespot, this will be interesting |
Any other site that doesn't take publisher marketing bribes, fire there employees when they give low review scores to games from publishers that are putting ads on their sites, doesn't hire reviewers that admittedly hate gaming (such as Tom Mc Shea), doesn't have a history of a mass staff departures because of how they censor and control their articles and reviews (Alex Navarro, Ryan Davis, Frank Provo are just a few examples), doesn't have a marketing system in place called 'Gametax' which was developed to track every thing a user does on the site and directly transfer it to marketing agencies and I could go on and on and on, but I'm not going to. Gamespot is a game marketing site, it has been for the last five years and it has been specifially designed to follow certain marketing guidelines and anyone who uses their reviews as a basis for buying their games is a tool, because they're essentially basing their purchase off of a pretensiously written commercial.
Any time you see a game get a low review score, it is most likely because the publisher behind it doesn't have the money or the influence to change the score or the publisher legitimately doesn't have a hand in these sites (Nintendo, Sony, Atlus, Namco, Koei, Konami and probably a whole of other Japanese or European publishers).
The honest truth is that no game site is trustworthy, they all run under extremely flawed systems of service and they essentially make money from the companies they are criticing. Using their reviews as a reference as to why a game is good or bad is stupid, you'd have had a better argument if you had posted an official GT5 forum thread and pointed out how dissappointed people were with the game in the thread, because at least those people aren't being paid to give their opinion and they probably know more about games than any game reviewer on the planet.
I hope that was interesting.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
