HAHAHHAA ROFLCOPTER.

Nice move Bod. I was admiring your setup earlier and hoping something like this would happen. Hook, line, and stinker, wammo!


I prefer to go by the age-old saying: "Game reviewers are like orcs; they're only good dead."

God of War is a bit more popular, but whose to say with the next installments given the popularity of the Wii and the lack of interest in Xbox 360.

I don't talk about the scale though.  I talk about the actual review.

Read my posts, did I ever say anything was wrong with the scores that they got?  I said something was wrong with the actual review.  Like I said before:

That still stands.  You can critique reviews, but the score still stands, and what I said earlier still stands, I only use IGN reviews to buy games, they haven't steered me wrong before.

The Eurogamer one was not complaining about the number, but about how someone said it was okay to lump MGO into MGS4 when the same happened with the Orange box, and I disagreed with them saying the Orange Box was five different games versus MGS4 which is a game and an online mode, and if MGO got rated online, so should have Halo 3's online mode, Gears' etc.  At that point, I hadn't even read the review.

The second Eurogamer post, was an expansion on that.  I didn't knock the score, but the content of the review, which made it seem like MGO was a game outside of MGS4.  When in reality, they are one in the same.

The X-Play post wasn't about a review, but about what they said about the whole ninety minute cutscene thing.  At that point, they hadn't reviewed the game yet.  That thread was about Konami's restrictions on reviews, not the review itself.  All I stated was that there would be some reviewers who would score it low based off of install times and cutscenes.

The "too much shooting" comment wasn't anything about the review score, but that they said there was "too much shooting" in a stealth action game. 

I don't see anywhere where I "asked for it".

Looks like this fish got away.

Personally, I love AC. But it is a type of game not suited for everyone. Its in the same league as Harvest Moon and the Sims, you need to have that kind of taste in that type of game.

GoW is not a casual based simulator game. It is a button masher action flick, which I also enjoy. I just enjoy it differently than AC. I can spend years playing AC if I didnt feel like picking those damn weeds all through my town after 5 months and seeing most of my favorite neighbors leaving :( GoW I can only play in bursts, and after a playthrough, Im done with it.

Now in terms of what I think will be a bigger system seller- Animal Crossing easily. I think Nintendo will market AC Wii as the first MMO for the Wii, and will probably be marketed as such instead of just another sequel.

 I think you either confused God of War with Gears of War or your confused xbox360 with ps3.

Ugh, DMeister, just stop. The text of the review and the score are not separate things: the score is the summation of the review text for those who are too impatient. 

I'd recommend you just stop. Not that I'm going to ban you or anything -- I won't -- but these sorts of things can be painful. Either admit you were wrong, or stop, because seeing people try to wriggle their way out of blatant hypocrisy ("I wasn't criticizing the numerical score, I was criticizing the words that decide the numerical score!") is always painful.

Though I've never played it myself (I might actually pick it up one day), clearly Animal Crossing is the bigger game, you've got the core players that enjoy management type games and you've got the casual market, particularly the growing number of females with DS's. But remember kids, Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better.

Also, lol kingofwale got banned? He's comments have become more sarcastic/negative these days, but I didn't think they'd be ban-able offenses.

I must say Animal Corssing.

i wouldnt buy either one

I'll stop.

It's just that you took all of my posts out of context.

I have no problem freely admitting that I'm wrong when I am, but I'm not.  I've been wrong about many things on this site, and admitted so.  Hell, I went out and bought a Wii that I said was only for "casuals".  Trust me, on this site, and in real life, I have no problem freely admitting I was incorrect, but if you don't want to continue this conversation that you've falsely accused me of being hypocritical then we can do so.
