Saving that for the afterparty. Also, I bet IGN over-rated R2 in order to be PC to the PS3 fans. Either that, or their reviewers are so incompetant or biased that they didn't correctly score the games they were playing. There is no way in hell they both got the same score by coincidence, and IGN might end up with one of the highest ratings for R2, which isn't something they're known for.   ....I think that with the sales figures and the review comparisons, this upcoming week might not be quite the way Sony fans hoped it would turn out. *sigh* I really just don't get you. You insisted that 1up was right for giving Wii Music being a good job when according to Metacritic, it was the ONLY grade above an 80. Yet you insist that IGN specifically overrated Resistance 2 because they are incompetant or bias when the game is sitting at a 89 as of this moment. Your arguments have progressively gotten more and more bitter towards Sony over the last few months for no real reason. Just because some of the fans are jackasses doesn't mean that every game that is released on the Playstation 3 is crap besides LittleBigPlanet. Also, not every Sony fan is irrational enough to believe that Gears of War 2 would lose to Resistance 2. The amount of 360 consoles sold alone will seal what game will be the superior when it comes to sales. Also, "ratings don't mean anything." Of course you tend to only say that when a highly anticipated title on anything besides on the ps3 comes out and gets lower scores than you anticipated.

I don't insist anything. I said "I bet." I gave 1up props because they let a casual gamer review a casual game. I flamed IGN because they punked out and didn't tell us which game was better in their dumbass opinion, on purpose.

I've said "Ratings don't mean anything" a million times about all games. Ownage has nothing to do with meaning. It's proving someone wrong in their own wierd trollish mentallity.

I've never said I love the PS3, but I don't celebrate when its software "fails." I'm flaming IGN here, not R2, and they deserve it, imo. They could have given us an opinion either way, but instead they didn't. They caved in and appeased fanboys. Period.

Now, I did assert the IGN gave R2 a higher score to appease said fanboys. I only say this because:

1. Metacritic will probably adamantly disagree, and IGN rarely overscores, but this is a huge game, and IGN didn't want to appear foolish by betting on the wrong horse.

2. IGN itself in the bullet list ratings, ie: Presentation, Graphics, ect, gave R2 lower scores in 2 of those ratings, and tied it in the rest, meaning that if the games were tied in order to appease fanboys, they were tied in a way that either bumped R2 or lowered G2.

Again, reviews dont' matter. Especially IGN, who are vastly over-rated because they are popular. That said, imo, they probably punked out to appease fanboys. 9.5/9.5 is quite a conincidence, and I dont' care how many of said fans take offense to me pointing it out.

I'm damn bitter over the way most of these same people acted during Fable 2's review segments(also a great game, but flamed to hell initially when it didn't make 90 percent on metacritic, with arguments like "It just isn't that good."), and there hasn't been one yet who's gotten away unowned. I'm not ignorant or foolish enough to make an argument that a games ratings mean a damn thing when it comes to a games quality. I will, however, point out obvious inconsistances, and when people state things absolutely, it always comes back to bite them in the ass. I just make sure that happens.

Banned his ass. The poor bastard. Never stood a chance. You see?! DO YOU SEE!? This is what happens when blind fanboyocity goes wrong.

did i miss something ? afterall i dont care who will get higher score because i will get both... ah and megaman2 i see ur banned thats mean Gears win :)

I think you might me anthromorphising the reviewers with your own fanboyism?

??? Fix your english please, even the translators don't know what that means!

A bigger game isn't necessarily a better game.

I think the orgys start to get a little uncomfortable when the numbers go too far over 10. 60 might be a little too impersonal to be honest.

One thing I can't do is change the way I post, so I'll look unbiased and omnipitant. If I did that, I'd have no integity to respect. Know this, however, my anger doesn't stem from the PS3 itself, and if you'll read closely, I've never actually flamed the PS3 or its games, in an unfair manner(in the last several months at least, after I had my moment of clarity). My sheer hate involves the generalized perception of many Sony fans on this forum, who think that the PS3 is obviously the best gaming console, and its exclusives are obviously the best games and the rest of the world has simply not yet to acknowledged that fact.

It seems this gen tends to bring out the bias in people, and I'm afraid it will only get worse as gaming progresses.

i highly doubt resistance 2 will aggregate higher than gears 2.

both games will be heavily fanboy reviewed, one will be reviewed up and one down.

to be honest with you i can picture resistance 2 aggregating at 89 or something like that

but it dont matter the game is awsome, and its my shooter for 2008
