is it me or over the last year or so game reviewers have lost a serious amount of credibility among hardcore gamers and interent geeks (i meant that in the nicest way). i mean i remeber 5 or so years ago i used to rely on reivews before i a bought a game, i used to check gamespot and so on to see what they were saying about the quality of the game. i would never have bought games like FFX, OoT without a reivew on the launch day.
Now however, it seems that i couldn't care less about what reviewers say about a game to a certain extent. i mean when they gave metroid 3 an 8.5 over at gamepot i was disgusted as its a great game, or the recent gta4 reviews. i mean its a great game, but its not a 10, a 10 is a generation defining game, and its not that. and now the recent gamerankings stupidity with OoT constantly moving places.
When a game that i think is excellent gets good reviews it makes me happy, but when it gets bad reviews i'm convinced that the reviewers knows less then an 80 year old man who doesn't even know the name playstation or nintendo. but it no longer shifts my opinion on whether to buy a game or not
will reviewers ever get their credibility back, or is an overhaul of the reviewing system necessary? (someone on vgcharts wastalking about this a couple weeks ago, i think it was rocketpig, can't really remember)
