I have to agree with this. We certainly wouldn't see anyone reasonably intelligent making a thread comparind, say, GTA4 to OoT and saying one was better than the other. The person would just realize the games are of two completely different genres, and cater to two completely different audiences and leave it at that. There certainly wouldn't be a 3 page flame fest where at the end the poster runs off because he is tired of being told he is wrong. No one mildly intelligent would ever do that, right?

Sorry, not the same thing. You are trying to use this context to poke fun at a reactionary post I posted? Funny. That post was in reaction to everyone being pissed off that GTA4 was getting 10's, when it was not as good as OoT. Why were you not jumping down there throats with your commentary on review systems?

It's funny how much BS people let other people get away with when they happen to have the same ultimate view. If I wrote this OP with the exact same bias put on Nintendo consoles, and I titled it "SMG demonstrates Wii userbase desperation", I would being fighting the opposite people.

If we're talking about the Wow, we sure have some rabid OoT fans thread, then that makes it all the more hilarious:

Ok, I get that a lot of people are upset about GTA4 getting a better overall review score then OoT, but to then try and combat that by releasing a new review of OoT and giving it a 10?

Thanks for reviewing a 10 year old game... your a little late :p

Of course, when you actually follow the link, you'll see that this latest review was posted on 4-12-08, which is a solid 2 1/2 weeks before GTA IV's 4-29-08 release date. Apparently, Nintendo fans have mastered time travel and this reviewer is a Terminator unit sent back in the past to steal GTA IV's thunder of getting a 10.

Maybe... just maybe, TheRealMafoo, you should consider the possibilty that you are just a teensy bit overly defensive on the subject of GTA IV and its 10 rating. Seriously, I'm actually a little worried about you right now, it's not healthy. Go play the game and relax.
