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

To think, I just stood behind Cliff at my GameStop not even an hour ago. No joke either. He was looking Dead Island on the 360, but my store only has the PS3 version (360 sold out).

I think we've beaten the reviewer vs. developer to death. Reviewers will always be flawed, developers will always be upset when someone critiques their work, the two are like oil and water.

Fortunately the important information from the reviews has been that gears three is undeniably the best in the series...so we can all be happy to know the game is of excellent quality.

This might as well be the pot calling the kettle black. If he doesn't like your review, get over it Jim. Nothing like calling someone out for feeling entitled, and then go on a rant about how he should appreciate your review? Yeah, you're not entitled in the slightest. Defensive much?


Except its not the review he didnt like but the score.

I agree but the problem in this case is that the critique is actually positive.



In a perfect world, numerical scores and Metacritic wouldn't exist, and gamers would actually READ reviews.

Psst! Hey, Cliff...I'd have given the first a 6/10 and the second a 7/10....and contrary to popular belief, those ARE good scores in my book. a 6 is "worth playing" or "Decent", whereas a 7 is "Good",

Jim Sterling is an ASS. But, he makes sense this time. asses don't have to always be wrong.

I don't think cliffy b, is really that bad. But, this is the problem with twitter. Inner thoughts become public.

Jim, I'm not going to give your site the extra hits. Okay? It's not going to happen. Stop trying to get attention for being controversial.

I don't get it... sometimes a reviewer just doesn't like the game as much as others or think it's better then it's predecessors, Here in Sweden our biggest newspaper scored Gears of War 3 a 2/5 beacuse for him the game was pretty much like the last one and that it had a lousy story that could have been explained in three lines.
