>And I didn't start anything I just stated why I followed IGN, I read everything from Wii to 360,

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? 


 I do not sir, as stated before the rating was talking about the overrated PS2 games, I call them fanboys for their actions especially at the GOTY awards, I'm sorry you have to defend your precious Sony team, and how rating is related to their podcasts is beyond me, those two things aren't even connected.  Just quit it dude you're embarassing youself.

You can never trust any one review site. It's important to evaluate a broad range of opinions. I usually read IGN, Gamespot and Gametrailers, although I find it disappointing that the industry in general maintains a 'hardcore' emphasis and tends to undervalue the so called 'casual' games. The sites I mention above are guilty in this repect, and as far as I know of, there are no sites out there which address this imbalance.

Just quit it dude you're embarassing youself.

let's get two things clearly, first of all, I don't even like the Sony team, but I dislike your ignorance even more. Judging their podcast when you clearly only tried a few is ignorance at its best. Don't judge something you don't know half of it. That's all I'm saying.

Second. stop with the whole "you are embarrassing yourself" crap, If you want to debate, Debate like a regular person, don't add those thing just because you've been on the defensive ever since the first post.

trust IGN
distrust Gamespot and 1up



 

 

 

To be another one of the people to bring this back on track, I usually go to Gamespot because they consistently give a lengthy review of the game, but I use their option to see what other critics have listed as the scores to the game. It is like Metacritic in that it averages out all the scores. So read the article to find out about the game, use the compilation to find out the score.

The one I have increasingly come to distrust is G4's X-Play. They give a game like Halo 3 a 5/5 when it is more of the same, but count down games like Devil May Cry 4 for being more of the same. I also wonder how much they play of games when they will review a game and if I have played it I will notice that 99% of the things they show in the review happen within the first few hours of the game. Also, they seem to be biased towards the 360 pretty bad. If it is a 360 exclusive, it's a big plus. If it is a PS3 exclusive, it is a minus. If it is a Nintendo exclusive, it is a smaller minus. Similar for PC exclusives that are not World of Warcraft or a RTS.

 So you have finally admitted you attacked me.  Good show owning up like that, people want to state what they like and no matter how much evidence they give you, you keep attacking, and you admit it.  You know admitting when you've done wrong is the first step towards being a better poster

It depends and varies. I usually like IGN but not always. I need a website to give a good amount of specifics in a review and provide gameplay vids to be considered good.



i like the fight going on here as people post related to the thread




My favorite review site, i think is GameTrailers, ign second, and dont like gamepot neither.



End of 2011 (made 02/01/11)

Best Games/Serie of the Generation

That is a easy answer because it is Gamespot. I trust IGN.
