Jim Sterling on Cliffy B's Reaction to GoW3 Reviews - Vulgar, Spoiled and Greedy

[selnor]

Does anyone see the irony of this guy Jim?

He is being defensive about someone not liking a review and calling that person defensive for doing so.
I's love to point that out to him.

As to Cliffy, I understand actually his point.

For example. Reach was better than Halo 3 in every way. And yet many reviewers rated it lower than 3. You can argue that the competition has increased?

No I dont think so. Halo cant really be compared to much on the market at all. And the same is said for Gears. You could argue Uncharted? Not really, the games are very different.

So to have a review of a game which ALL are saying is better than 2 including Eurogamer, and then rate it lower is exactly why many reviews are broken and disjointed.

GTA4 is another example of what the hell. GTA3 was much better in the gameplay department yet GTA4 destroyed it in reviews.

My advice to people is dont listen to reviews. AT ALL.

My faveourite games this gen are not all in the 90's. And many 90+ games dont sell as good or among the general gamers rated as as good as mant -90 games.

Alot of reviewers imo are now just Employees rather than actual gamers. Remember corporations ( which is what they are ) like these big review companies and magazine companies are out to make money first and foremost. And that DOES include rocking the boat for hits.

This will happen on all fronts PS3, Wii and 360.

The only people I trust for an opinion on games are my friends and fellow gamers who game on the 360. That is where I get my feedback.

After all they dont have a bottom line to meet every financial year.
