yo your mother..i dont get it with that pot thing..is it cause shes a woman you put a pot there or something?

EDIT - oh i thought i had to defend my homegirl for a sec..hiii boooo!

Sorry Gballzack, your giant post doesn't cover all the statistics. Look at my post. It's simple, yet it truly compares the DS/Wii games with the PSP/PS3 games.

...it's the pot calling the kettle black... 

It's the "pot calling the kettle black" analogy, he's adamant in using it as if it proves anything outside of the accusation itself.

What statistics? My argument is that the statistics are moot in lieu of the fact that Game Reviewers are not an objective measure of a game's worth. Game Reviews measure games based on elements on tailored towards particular audiences, and since each game has a different appeal to each audience it invalidates the idea that a reviewer or cross section there of can accurately determine whether a game is good or not.

People only ever try and claim game reviews are proof of a games worth after the fact. They aren't proof and are far less reliable than many would like to give them credit.

I haven't bothered to read your post, as it's probably just like the image above.

I just focused on your comments, and regardless of whether I agree or not with reviews, it's your trolling that I'm focusing on.

Again, let's not look at anything else, and just adhere to the following statements:

Look at the list of sites Metacritic uses... They're all pro-Sony. Seriously, just look at the list.

Face it, the closest thing you're going to ever get to an objective source is the game sales.

Shame on you Davygee, shame on you, you should have known better than to try something like this.

- AND -

How about you list all of Metacritics sources and lets see how unbiased they are then? And praise from sony owned websites doesn't matter much either I'm afraid.

That's it. I'm not interested in anything else you have said. And I have yet to see you back up your very own statements with facts; if anything, your comments are nothing but

.

So Sony fanboys have completed their transformation into Nintendo fanboys of the last decade. Keep whining davygee, aside from gball the rest of us are too busy playing our DS', Wii's, and 360's (in the US at least).

Then allow me to repost it for you...

Game Reviews are worthless, and are tailored to specific audiences, not objective over arching measures of all games and genres. Most developers listed on Metacritic are Sony owned or biased, not that this makes the industry of game reviewing anymore valid if that wasn't the case. Game Reviewers are tailored towards high powered games and intense graphics, not the novelty of a fun game or the appeal of games worth to all audiences. The fact that the DS games are selling better than the PSP disproves Metacritics Aggregate system and the Wii has only had a handful of games introduced to it and is still selling hands over feet above the competition. Somehow I fail to see the value of Game reviewers when their reviews are only used by people trying to justify games after the fact.

You take the games success and sales for what the game is, don't act like there is some singularity by which to measure all genre of games. Is that useful? Not really, but its the best you're going to get. Despite your want to believe in an all knowing measure of whether a game was good or not, there is nothing more reliable than the game's sales. A game does well by its sales whether popular consensus is its a good game or not. Its the closest thing to an objective measure of a game's worth you'll get. I know that blows your minds but honestly relying on game reviewers isn't anymore objective.

I never claimed Game sales were the ultimate answer, just that they were the closest thing you'll ever get to an objective measure of a game. Relying on Reviewers after you or others have played the game is just a childish crutch and an excuse after the fact..

I didn't miss anything. You have a look at my replies based on your very own trolling comments, and tell me where I missed anything.

Look at the list of sites Metacritic uses... They're all pro-Sony. Seriously, just look at the list.

Just proved that not all Metacritic sites are pro-Sony, unless you think pro-Nintendo magazines are in fact pro-Sony...

Face it, the closest thing you're going to ever get to an objective source is the game sales.

Just proved that a game with lousy reviews (Spider-Man 3 for Wii) can sell much more than a game with excellent reviews (Ouendan for DS), so your point is debunked.

How about you list all of Metacritics sources and lets see how unbiased they are then? And praise from sony owned websites doesn't matter much either I'm afraid.

I didn't list all the sites, but the pro-Nintendo ones should suffice to prove my point. Notice I did not list one single Sony-owned website from the Metacritic review summaries.

Shame on you Davygee, shame on you, you should have known better than to try something like this.

If anything, it's you who has lost the plot completely.

Are you going to troll argue to this again? I'm running out of decent images to link to.
