uh how many debates have you been in on VGC?

when you've counted them all on one hand, quote me and you'll have your answer.


Sorry for the confusion but I meant the gamrFeed articles and not the gamrConnect forums. I'm sure your post would have been a little less nasty if you would have known that.

srry i wasn't trying to be nasty or anything. i new you were talking about gamrfeed articles but i was using posting as an example of misinformation. misinformation is easy to post or put in an editorial, but post seem more blatantly intentional. writers don't have it easy by any means and thats why i focus on whts in the articale as a whole and then post on wht was given unless the biasness can be seen from miles away then i'll correct the writer when i post.

see its like this little misunderstanding. you may have though it was trying to be nasty or dare i say flame but i was only trying to show that most debates here happen by being misinformed. thats the only reason i was saying count your debates on one hand.

that would be hard for me to do all things considered lol.

You can't blame them. gamrFeed's job is to get hits - nothing more, nothing less. And, if you compare the number of views that "Sony is the Next Nintendo" as a fanboy article with no proper evidence supporting it gets (over 16000, I think?) to most of the objective sales analysis articles (from under a thousand to less than five thousand), it's quite clear that the former is far, far better at getting the job done.
We should just be glad that VGC has a couple of objective articles, even if they are getting fewer and farther in between.

Bingo. This strategy is extremely short-term though, as it comes with the price of users getting bored with the same old fanboy drivel which will eventually drive them away.

o_O.Q on 04 August 2011

seems to me that all the readers do is bust a blood vessel if the writer's view doesn't exactly align with their own and whine in the comment sections below... an example of that is the reaction when the 3ds was said to resemble an upgraded dsi in a recent article now i don't know if i'm blind or what but imo the 3ds looks extremely similar to the dsi and yet people freaked out over the guys opinion

I feel bad for the Feed guys, they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Used to be that they would just regurgitate news that was released, and that worked for a while but got a lot of complaints that there wasn't anything unique about Feed to get people to go there over an aggregater like N4G. So they changed things up and are now trying to focus on original articles written by the staff, but now if you write something that someone disagrees with they'll find whatever inaccuracies they can scrounge up and complain about those. YOu can either write things that everyone agrees with or write perfectly researched articles (more difficult than you'd think). Can't imagine it's a fun situation to be in.

Luckily it's not my department.


Agreed. I like the new direction - it beats just re-posting the same news that everyone else is. People are entitled to an opinion on something and the reader is entitled to agree or disagree

Not if that same article would get you banned on gamrConnect. Or do gamrFeed "writers" have the right to troll all they want?

 

Talk about double standards.

I think he is talking about all the useless "articles" on gamrfeed, which are disgusting pieces of trolling. They have damaged the reputation of this site big time for me.

I dont take anything that gets written on here serious anymore, especially all that stuff on gamrfeed.

Gamrconnect is a haven for well thought out, reasonable articles in comparison.

Pretty much this.

Some of the editorials posted on gamrFeed would get locked if they would be threads on gamrConnect, because they are so blatantly biased and ignore readily available data (like sales numbers on this very site). The forum members of gamrConnect are held to stricter rules than the writers for gamrFeed.


Corruption at its finest huh?

Actually, that is a good example for there being something wrong with gamrFeed.

With both platforms at a $249.99 price point, it was clear, from a hardware perspective, which platform gave the user more value. Just looking at some gameplay footage alone will tell you that the PlayStation Vita is, essentially, a mini-PS3 in your pocket. The Nintendo 3DS on the other hand, looks like a slightly upgraded DSi at this point. There are plenty of other features and gimmicks on each platform. But for the same $249.99 price point, if you told someone you could get better looking games on one system, chances are they'll go with the one with the better graphics. Nintendo's recent price drop has wiped away that preconceived extra value that the PSVita may have offered, as the system is $80 cheaper, only $20 away from the initial PSP and DS price gap.

This is either blatant trolling or piss poor writing, in both cases an editor-in-chief is dearly needed. Hardware perspective, specifically gameplay footage, the context is clear in this case. No surprise that people objected to this.


first off this needs to get out of the way - its the guy's opinion...

but regardless be specific about which part exactly you disagree with... "Hardware perspective, specifically gameplay footage, the context is clear in this case" i'm confused do you disagree with him that the vita has better looking games?
