Forums - Nintendo - Gamespot gives SSBB a 9.5!

Gamespot's 10's:
Ocarina of Time: Okay, if anything deserves it, yeah
Crono Cross: Eh, well, maybe. If you're a fan of the Crono Series, yeah. It could get a 10
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2: FAIL



Blank? Blank.

Do we still consider Gamespot's reviews as credible?

Should we even acknowledge Gamespot exists?

Sure we should. They serve as an example of how bad videogame editorial sites can get.

 I started at ign's forums....then went to gamespot's.  It was there I found out about VGChartz.  For the first six months here I used both, though I rarely posted there.  Since the Gerstmnan firing, though, I refuse to go there.  I figure whatever "news" that comes from there will end up on Joystiq, Kotaku or these forums.

 



Whoooooooooooooooo
1!!!!!

Okey!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okey, you win.

You are now the best poster on gamespot! Thank YOU for this. Wooohoooooooooo!!!

Now, since I'm in the clear, lol @ god of war lite. Fail.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

FYI, Gamespot still has the most hits of any review site on the internet. I hate em, but I LOVE Brawl, and this is positive PR, and the best review news a game can get, period.

It'll get 5/5 from Xplay, and stroll in to a 9.5+ overall score. Win, probably just scored an overall top 10 game of all time spot with gamespots endorsement.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!



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.

Doesn't matter, but gamerankings.com does. Looking forward to update my signature.

The 360, and PS3 have much more games rated 90+ then your signature states.

Not if you read it properly.



well if GS gives a 9.5 and all other reviewers come in close to that then its probably what it deserves .

But if they give it a six and all other reveiwers give a it a 9 then they are probably full of crap!

Just cause they fired one guy doesnt mean the rest of the reviewers are gonna give all games high scores that doent deserve it!

I'd recomend you actually read his sig before commenting on it. The Wii has more games above 90 as well.

Hmm, think most suspected this, especially because of that pathetic .5 system.
Games don't get 10's from gamespot unless they are stupid games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater something or other.

 


@mysonzaire + the above quote

i know it's cool now to rip on the tony hawk series, but installments 1-3 were a big deal. anyone who thinks they don't deserve high scores obviously wasn't around to view them within the context of which they were released. would i have given it a 10 back then? probably not. but it was a very noteable series early on and helped to shape many modern alternative sports titles.

in fact, of the 10 highest ranked th games of all time (on gamerankings), 9 of them represented installments 1-3 (cross console). all of them averaged 90% or higher. th: 2 for the DC and psx both averaged a 94.6%. th: 3 for the ps2, the '10' game is question, averaged 93.5%

so maybe you should take the time to not aimlessly rip on a site or a game before you know all the facts.
