The Zelda review score was to prove that the website has moved on from its checkered and biased past. Gravity Rush just got an unlucky reviewer draw. It's not a big enough game to affect positive or negative PR for the company so there was likely no malevolence behind the decision.


Holy shit your alive again.

Thought the same thing XD

Haha! Know this, I didn't even know what the gamespot review score was for Skyward Sword!!!! Yes, I'm back though, as in, I've now become addicted to gaming again and everyone may have to put up with my ignorant, non-sensical, and crazy comments from time to time.

This whole thing though, does remind me of the New Vegas bonus debate, where Obsidian(sp?) only got a bonus if the Metareview was over 85. I think we all put too much emphasis on review scores nowadays. If you like the game, love it, no need to worry about the haters.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Reply to your comment next time? That's what I did 7 pages ago. I usually ignore you, but I guess I decided not to this time. And a lurker? No, not at all. Your posts are usually not worth acknowledging, if I say so myself. And I shouldn't have acknowledged you here, I just didn't like that you labeled this review a scandal and bigger "shitstorm" than the Zelda one based on the reasoning you used.

"not worth acknowledging", seems the way you feel now you have been upset with my comments for quite some time. Anyways, you cant measure the amount of shitstorm, so I used amount of comments of each review wich shows how much people have discussed it.  Don't tell me what to do or what reasoning I should use to measure dissapointment.

Not sure what you mean by the bolded.

And you're right, I can't truly measure it, but neither can you. And I wasn't trying to "tell you what to do", I was pointing out your unfair comparison of the two reviews.



Food for thought: Shove an apple in your brain

You know exactly what I mean, telling people "thats so Turkish", and telling me "didnt expect much better from you" sounds like you were upset and disappointed with my comments for some time.



I wonder how many people actually read the article.

After reading it, the score makes sense. At least the score reflects the review (which I think was rather weak), unlike a few high 9s on games that had many issues in the reviews......(Skyrim rings a bell...)

first of all, people need to stop harping on people for giving Skyrim great reviews, it's getting really old. LOTS of people don't have issues with the game's glitches, and they're not nearly as common as people want you to think. I, for instance, spent 105 hours on my first skyrim run-through and only encountered one glitch. ONE. 105 hours of gameplay compared to 1 glitch is NOTHING. a reviewer can only go on their own experiences, and not EVERYONE had massive issues with it. I had more glitches (both visual and gameplay-wise) in Uncharted 3 than I did with Skyrim. Seriously, stop with the "skyrim was a buggy mess and deserved shit scores" attitude becuase it's not nearly as bad as you claim it to be.

Man, I miss the days of early Feb, where you guys were bitching about my 5.4 on Final Fantasy XIII-2. it's always fun to argue with people over that shit. you guys are fun.

I'm kind of offended by the poll on this thread. it would indicate that we're incapable of thinking for ourselves. I think Gravity Rush is good because I just finished beating it last night and getting Platinum on it this morning.

For some reason I didn't see the poll as a poll, but more like something done to make a point for the original poster.

No I quite honestly couldn't understand what you wrote. The grammar was funny.

I was neither upset and disappointed with your comments, especially not disappointed. Why would I be disappointed? Anyways, what I meant by "not worth acknowledging" was that you seemed to be what many on here refer to you as: a "troll" in favour of Sony. So by nature, that's not worth acknowledging and it didn't bother me because it seemed pretty obvious that you were doing it on purpose. But the one thing that did bother me a bit was your basis for calling the GR review a scandal, as you already know.

I only said "that's Turkish" and "didn't expect much better from you" because of what I just said about you in the previous paragraph.

Skyrim is a pretty mediocre game, the combat sucks, Dark Souls combat is 1000x better than Skyrims combat gameplay. I have the platinum trophy in Skyrim thanks to my brother, because the game was unplayable after my savefile went over 15MB. Bethesdas games are known for their glitches and bugs.

 

Uncharted 3 had glitches? What kinda glitches did you encounter? Those visuals are all real time bro, they look that good. I was amazed myself at first too. That desert level is the most beautiful level ever created.

No, you made these comments because you saw my comments everywhere, and that they were not worth acknowledging. Thats why you said "thats Turkish" and "didnt expect much better from you". You just don't say "thats so him" after I ignored only 1 comment of yours wich I overlooked.

And no, nobody refers to me as a troll, calling someone else a troll is flaming. Don't jump into that bandwagon.
