Forums - Gaming - Gamespot: Biased against PS3?

Ugh, crap people. One highly anticipated PS3 gets a review less than 90 and the internet flips out.

THESE SITES ARE NOT BIASED. IT IS IN YOUR HEAD. STOP TYPING, GET OFF THE INTERNET, AND GO PLAY GAMES.

-edit-

The hell?  You're bitching that Gamespot gave R2 a 9?  Yeah, that's obviously biased.  I guess anyone that gives it less than a 10 is biased.

 

 

Ha! Look at that, a mod can't even tell what the thread is about. ITS NOT ABOUT THE ACTUAL REVIEWS, LIKE I SAID GAMESPOT TENDS TO BE ON TRACK WITH EVERYONE ELSE. I was comparing how Gamespots screenshots are lower quality than IGN's and could give people the wrong impression about a game.

God, just lock the damn thread.

 

 

Yeah, I didn't see anything wrong the Gamespot pic...It's a good screenshot.

Besides, I'd be willing to bet those pictures were not taken by people at Gamespot.  Most pictures you see are sent to them by the publisher so if you don't like a pic, blame whoever is publishing or marketing the game.

I have a 20" Dell Ultrasharp so I suppose the rest of you have crap monitors. (1680x1050, 1000:1 Contrast, top notch monitor)

(I hope you're viewing them in full size)



Also, you basic argument makes no sense at all. Zero.

The website wants to give people a bad impression about the game by releasing bad screenshots then they go and give it a very high score because that makes people not want the game at all.

Right.

Right.

You mods are so arrogant sometimes.... It makes me sick.

Like I said, just lock the thread, none of you want to stay on topic and can't even figure out what the thread is about.

I already said many many times.... I notice a difference (Sometimes large, sometimes not so large) between the quality of the screenshots between the two and wanted to know what others thought about Gamespot, I got a few good responses before the F Brigade took down the thread.

If every thread that even a smidge off topic there would be no active threads.

Anyways, you opened up the subject so you have to be prepared to take all the criticism (assuming it's valid).

You may notice some kind of difference and I'm sure you think you do, but I'm just saying your argument makes absolutely no sense.

In a perfect world I'm sure you would only get responses where people agreed with you 100% and thought you were the greatest person at internet detectivery ever, but in real life (or real internet) people are going to disagree with you and they are going to tell you why they disagree with you.  As I said, you opened up the discussion and you just have to deal with it.  If you actually had some sort of strong argument, you could actually make some kind of counter argument rather than waving your arms yelling OMG stay on topic.  Stay on topic!!

I told you why I disagree with your basic assumption: it makes no sense that a website would try to pass a game off as lackluster and then give it an *incredible* review score.

No-- I'm not a huge quote person. 

 



Nobody has told me why they disagree, there were a few that agreed and the rest simply said "OMG YOU'RE A FANBOY!".

Ok you don't think it's a valid argument, can you explain why there are such a difference in quality of screens (I know I provided a bad example but no one cared to look at the two sites themselves including you).

Check them out for yourselves:

That makes me

 

@Username2324-Alot of people said they looked the same,Your the one saying they look different,prehaps you can give us a example of the pic (like the shirt of a guy or something)

 



Yeah, neither of those look bad to me. I admit there was one bad screenshot in the Gamespot bunch where it was just the guys arms but you can't call one bad screenshot biased against the PS3.

Looking through the Gamespot photos didn't make think the game was crap and it didn't do anything different for me than the IGN screenshots.

Like I first said, I think it's all in your head and the argument still in absolutely no way at all makes any sense.

Again, they gave the game a 9. A biased site against the PS3 wouldn't give it a 9. I know you're going to wave your arms wildly again saying OMG the reviews are in line with the others!!! but unless you can explain why they would release bad screenshots to turn people away from the game after they gave it a stellar review your argument just makes no sense.

That's like me saying McDonald's fries taste like shit, their burgers are dry, and their cokes are always flat and then immediately following that with Hey, do you want to go to McDonalds? They're great!

How about this screen, do you really think the game is that blurry?
