What's wrong?



Around the Network

This reflexive BS is exactly why I always take game reviews with a grain of salt.

SMH @ people complaining that a game they haven't even played yet got an excellent score instead of a perfect one. THIS is the reason that scores are so overinflated and unreliable.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

:D

From what I saw it seems like a fair score. Note though I consider 8 to be a very good score for a game although in this day of overinflated scores it might seem low ( remember GTA 4 got 10's and in hindsight we saw it was not really deserved)

It had been a long time since I last visited gamespot. This was their plan all along.

Have you even read the review?

No and I don't plan to, but considering there is nothing in the OP I can only assume your referring to the score it got, which is a great score.



Without order nothing can exist - without chaos nothing can evolve.

Yeah I read sony fanboys are threatening the reviewer to murder him etc. Some want to rape him o_o . it is all on Neogaf...



 

Look at the website. Note the nice green XBOne logo on the left. See the top menu which lists XBox, PC, Playstation, Wii U... PC breaking up XBox from the rest of the systems? WTH? Gamespot is brutally bias, so the reviews of Zelda and TLOU should surprise no one. Wii U didn't even get featured on the front page on launch day. Their director was fired in 2007 for not giving paying advertisers better reviews. Since then the site has been garbage.

i'm not the type to report someone but...

  1. Substance. Content is king. Threads lacking content can and will be locked. Some tips to keep you and your posts out of trouble:
    • Poster Above You and voting threads require moderator approval. If you do not have it, the thread will be locked, and if you are a repeat offender, you will be moderated. Note that an approved thread may still be locked by the Lead or Deputy Lead Moderator.
    • Do not post just a link. Links have context - expound upon that context. For example, Mario Piano Videos. Post a link, but also give some background on what the link is to. Try to avoid simply copy and pasting the article to which you are linking.
    • Do not post only that Item A sucks, or that Item B is better than Item C. Give reasons why, post links to documented problems, of screenshots, or whatever you can. Similarly, do not reply to other posters with "you're wrong", or worse, “you’re an idiot/troll/fanboy.” Explain why you disagree, and perhaps point to the correct answer.
    • No "In Before The Lock" (IBTL) posts. Repeat offenders will be warned, and disciplinary action will be taken if those warnings are not heeded.
    • No spoilers in threads which are not clearly marked for them in the title. If you are in a non-spoiler thread, mark your spoilers by highlighting the text, selecting the “styles” drop-down menu, and choosing “Spoiler”. Be sensible here. The plot twist in Empire Strikes Back is not a spoiler. The plot twist in BioShock is.
    • Keep posts on topic as much as possible. Threads do sometimes naturally transition into other discussions, but coming in and posting about a completely different topic in order to start arguments is not okay. Stay on topic, and if you have something different to talk about make your own topic.

it's important to me because at work (where i primarily post) many sites are blocked.
