Yep, that's Turkish, as you probably know. The whole thread itself is pretty sad, though. He seems to be trying to make a point that a Sony game getting a lower review score is a bigger upset than a Nintendo game if as to say people care more about Sony games. I mean his basis is the number of comments, for crying out loud. The Zelda review didn't even allow comments for a while after the review was put up. There isn't a single review on GameSpot that has comments older than 6 months because they didn't allow it until just 6 months ago.

Isnt anyone entitled to their opinions?


sure they are, as long as they actually played the game and can give legit critism.

At this point, I can pretty much see the gameplay/concept of a game and tell if it's something i'd be interested in playing or not. Sure, sometimes I look at reviews to hear more details about the game. But honesty, if I see a game that looks great and I think I would enjoy playing it for whatever reason, a bunch of low scores from ANY reviewer won't matter to me at all.

Also, lol when people rate a game and havn't even played it for themselves.

This is all quite sad, really.  I don't  know what's worse: review trolling or the unwashed masses screaming "Gaming journalism is a joke" every time someone says something that people don't agree with.  I find it funny becuase I generally tend to think game reviews are much more credible than movie, book, or music reviews by a LONG shot.

the camera can be controlled with the d pad easily...
you are assuming pointing mechanics would suck even if you havent tried them on that game and then you just bitch about me giving my opinion about a game i havent played?

the Wiimote is better for aiming than the 2 sticks, the camera can be controlled with the d-p ad and...that was the extent of your argument, pretty weak imo......i believe this game could have been done better on the Wii, its my o`pinion, deal with it..

But that still doesn't change the fact that Gravity Rush review has more comments then Skyward Sword does it

I could accept an 8 score for Zelda SS, everything below that is just bias imo
and about Grvity ill say it could have been a great Wii title, the Wiimote seems perfect for it...


I dunno man, I played Skyward Sword (though I admit I'm only about halfway through), and I think a 7.5 is fair.  depending on the reviewer's personal opinion of motion controls, I could see a score as low as 6...personally, I hate the motion controls and that ruins the 'gameplay' category for me, and I think that its visuals and writing don't match up with the story its trying to tell, so the presentation score could easily be dropped, and over half the main game is filler and fetch-quests, so value could be dropped, too.  

Don't get me wrong, I like the game, but I can certainly see a 6.0-7.5 score easily.  

To be fair, that paragraph, slighty rewritten, could also fit quite nicely for Gravity Rush. The controls are kinda dodgy, some of the missions are superfluous and the gameplay gets kinda repeatitive. So I still don't think that a 6.5 is that outrageous.
