Shissy on 25 March 2008

I trust Ign (Nintendo team) and Game Trailers the most. GameSpot the least.

*jumps on the wagon with everyone else*
Trust: IGN
Hate: Gamespot (10 to Tony Hawk 3 FTL!)

IGN has a great Nintendo team, a select couple of the Sony team are babies and rank games too high, then Xbox team is spot on with most games except for hyped ones as they seem to get too excited and give it a higher score then it deserves (see Halo 3) Then PC seems pretty spot on though the PC editors seem slightly bland. Wiik in review is usually funny and talks about all gaming, I tired to listen to the other podcasts but they harp on their own systems and put down others too much, and one even acted like a baby over Penny Arcade talking about the reviews of Assassins Creed and thought they were talking about his review and they hadn't even read it (way to look like an ass). But overall the Wii team has my same opinions on games, I know when I wouldn't knock a game for something they harped on, and vice versa when I don't like something they liked but overall they're about 90% trustworthy.

yeah yeah... Nintendo team is awesome, other teams ranked their games too high.

 

Nintendo podcast is great, other podcast are bad.

Pretty accurate summary, wouldn't you say? Can you say... biased? ;)

 


Hah the only one I said I didn't like was a couple of members of the Sony team and here you waltz in calling people biased, you should look in the mirror sometime, I like the Xbox team and the PC team, the Sony team has a couple of fanboys on their team that jump on Nintendo games like most fanboys do and call them kiddy, dumb, etc and not even play the game, these are the same guys that rank some Sony games too high, sorry to break it to ya I was stating what happens on the site cause I've been a follower for years, you're the biased one who can't stand anything bad said about Sony.


I'm sorry, Have I ever said that "SOny team is great, while other teams overrated their games"??? hmmm... *looks up*.

Frankly, I have no problem with you canlling Sony team "fanboys", in fact, all teams consist of fanboys, that's what they get paid for. What I DO have a problem is you claiming other teams rated their game too high while Nintendo team is perfect.

That... itself is biased.


I bolded the sentence you should have bolded in my first post, I flat out say Nintendo team is not perfect, you're just trying to to start something. You always seem to jump right in when someone says Nintendo has something better then Sony, and now you're jumping on me for talking about the review site I follow just because I said some Sony games got overrated, know what? I think Mario Party after MP2 should all have about a 3 bet you're not going to argue that point kingoftroll.

 

Wow, name calling, I'm soooo hurt. Another names you want to throw out there in place of capable debates?

 You think I care what Mario Party or MP2 you think deserves? What I cared is your biase. Which reflects badly on this forum. Nobody tried to start anything UNTIL you come and claim that Nintendo team is great while other team overrate their games. Please don't change the topic.

 Stick with game/console you know, leave other teams work alone, you clearly don't know enough to call anybody a 'fanboy'. In fact. those '2' Sony fanboys on PS team, do you even know their names?

I guess not.


 Pft the names are Chris Roper and Jeff Hayes.

And I didn't start anything I just stated why I followed IGN, I read everything from Wii to 360, I got irritated at Chris Roper in the PS2 days, his personality quite frankly sucks, he's just not a good editor-in-chief especially when he knocks games on other systems before he even plays them (just check out the mess that happened after the game of the year awards of 2006, it's the whole reason IGN went to the new way to choose GOTY) 

You still don't even read my post's you just take little bits out of it and try to formulate some sort of ungrounded argument that other people are fanboys cause you you want to throw people off your case of being a fanboy for Sony.  Rolstoppable and fkusumot caught you red handed trolling till the topic got locked cause the mods didn't want any fighting, as I recall that all started the same way this did, someone states their opinion and YOU attacked them, I simply put what the OP wanted and stated why I trust IGN, you roll in and half-wittedly attack me, and you attacked me without even fully reading my post and then try to call me biased.

The only Sony cansole I have never owned is the PS3, but the plain and simple fact is that I went to IGN for my PS2 reviews too and Chris Roper rated some crappy games well, then showed his bias by not even playing good games and calling them crap.  When you're a professional editor for a big site like IGN you're supposed to be as unbiasedas possible, of course someone having a bias happens cause it happens when you like whats made, what makes you not very credible is that you won't even try a game and just flat out say it's kiddy, crap, etc.  

Sorry to dissappoint you you only make yourself look like the biased fanboy.  Please before you dig yourself deeper just stop...

which is where you should've STOPPED, but then you went on about how other teams give higher score for their system. Look it up, you were the one who started it all. Are Chris Roper and Jeff Hayes fans? Yes they are. Are they ONLY PS3 fans? Well, if you actually listend to Beyond Podcast, both of them stated that SSBB is their favourite game this gen. So much for your 'theory' no?

And I have no interest talking things happened OUTSIDE this post, or outside of this topic, ESPECIALLY about threads that got locked, if you want to get banned, feel free to rant out by yourself.

The fact remains. You don't own a PS3, so Stay away from commenting stuff that were rated on PS3 and just stick to games you've played and talk about that. Why else you think people would call your view 'biased'?

 Now who said I was talking about the ratings of PS3 games?  I rarely look at them and could care less about PS3... see where you're attacking has lead you?  You assumed I was talking about PS3 ratings I was talking about crappy PS2 games that got rated highly. 

As I said you attacked me, didn't even read my post correctly, and you should just stop.

 and yet, you base on last gen's data? And since you 'could care less about PS3', I would assume you never listened to "Podcast Beyond", right?

and yet let me quote your first post. " I tired to listen to the other podcasts but they harp on their own systems and put down others too much"

Systems?  Wouldn't that be PS3 and360? How could you judge a podcast and its content that you never even listen to?

 Wanna go on anymore? Your logic is full of holes. Give it up now?

Er just cause I don't give a crap about the PS3 doesn't mean I didn't listen to their podcasts, I listened to a few that were reccomended to me other then that I've listened to a couple of others usually got bored and turned them off before they got to the reader mail they never once mentioned the awesome games that came out on the other systems in the podcasts I listened to.  Why are you always trying to push people around is what I'm wondering, every time you do you just end up with your foot in your mouth, like I said stop it.

 Well, maybe you should actually LISTEN to all of them before judging them? Maybe it's just me since that would be MORE FAIR? Oh wait, then you wouldn't be a fanboy anymore, My mistake.

See, I don't listen to Wii or 360 podcast, So I SHUT UP about criticism them or calling them fanboys who only gave their system high scores. Get my point?
