I personally loved the game and ran into few issues with bugs. I'll respectfully disagree with the score.

You, sir, are acting out of control.  The sane thing to do is dwell on that review for weeks on end, while telling the reviewer to drink bleach and die, then taking down his site.  At the very least you could be making excuses for people who do do that.

I hear a rumour that they had another concept that involved Channing Tatum, like a Expendables kinda of movie, but Ghostbusters, that would fail as well, because GB was never a action movie, but a perfect comedy with a creepy plot and concept. It seems to me a lot of these hollywood moguls do not know what they are doing and specially what the frachises they try to approach really are.

I don't know.  If they were going to remake it, I would have prefered to see the Tatum/Chris Pratt one.  And according to leaked emails, it was Tatum and Pratt who approached Sony about making it.  I think I also remember hearing talks of possibly Ryan Gosling playing Egon.  Wouldn have been interesting to at least see how that turns out.  I also believe both of them would have had a lot more respect for the OG than the director and cast of the new one.  If I remember correctly, the director said he didn't even like or didn't watch the OG.  Might be thinking of another movie, but not sure. 

And I just went back to read a few articles about it.  It's amazing how many people were sticking up for the new movie.  Even bashing the original one to help in that cause.  Stuff like "Sorry, But the Original Ghostbuster Isn't Even That Good" and "Blame The OG GB If You Don't Like The New One." 

That attitude is probably what made the movie so bad, a humble approach would have being better. 



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Based on what one of my friends had been saying about the game and Jim mentioning the '5/10' score yesterday during his Drawn to Death impressions, not surprising. I'd personally give a game that has really good bits locked behind lots of dreadful BS a lower score, but 'I half enjoyed the game, half disliked it, so I'm giving it a half score' fits Jim's chaotic interpretation of numeric scoring

Choatic interpretation?  That's the actual interpretation.  He liked some stuff, but disliked others.  In the end, they evened themselves out and made the game an average game.  Not horrible, not good/great.

 

I appreciate Sterling's views and tastes in games, with his written reviews as brutally honest as one can get, but it appears to me he views numerical scores as arbitrary and silly, so he treats them as such in his reviews.

Oh wow, a 5? That means he likes it.

Jim's scoring system is completely random, he shouldn't be on metacritic.

I don't really follow Jim Sterling, but I always assumed he rated games more like movie reviews where they use the whole scale, rather than like game reviews where anything under a 7 is trash.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
