| azrm2k said: This thread really isn't necessary yet though. Every big AAA game gets a few 10s at least. The conspiracy theories only start if it looks like the game is about to set in the top ten games of all time at GR. And it's for all systems: For PS3 Uncharted got 6 10s, Ratchet and Clank got 8 10s, Resistance got 3 10s and nobody complained about them being overrated. For 360 Gears got 24 10s and ME got 13 10s and there wasn't a massive outcry. For Wii Zelda got 22 10s and MP3 got 3 10s and people didn't complain about those either (except the bitching at GS for their low review  ).Complaints came in a bit for Halo 3, SMG, and a ton for GTA because SMG and GTA settled into best of all time territory and Halo had a massive following which led to a massive backlash. Unless MGS4 gets 25+ 10s and starts settling into the top 5 there won't be massive conspiracy theory threads. |
You're absolutely right, this thread is as much of a joke as anything. I just want to make fun of all those sad individuals who think that there really is some conspiracy out there which is somehow aimed at hurting the Wii by overrating games.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
