Forums - Nintendo - Is gameinformer even trying to hide their trolling anymore? 6.5 for SH:SM

@OkeyD
Oh I know GI has made some really rubbish HD reviews, even ones giving good scores have rubbish context, usually its clear the person reviewing barely played the game or just talking out of their ass in hopes no one notices that it isn't a real review.

if you want to read bias laid on thick read Nintendo Power. I was a member for 13 years, but recently didn't renew. Its just gotten to the point where the reviews were blatantly bias toward first party games with complete neglect of some really good third party titles.

Some reviews are just plain rubbish. Read Destructoid's Assassin's Creed II review if you think this is a Wii only thing.

lol, he probably didn't get that free press junket flight to Venice.

Well although I agree the integrity of GI isn't that high, there does seem to be a lot of "mixed" opinions going around about that of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories so this might just be a title you have to play for yourself to figure out.

Look, whenever a good game comes out for the Wii, we see these polarized reviews. Why? Because the reviewers with at least a bit of integrity will review it fairly fair, while those without, will review it with the usual "Wii sucks and is destroying my hobby" attitude.



It's game informer. I brought this up in the SH thread, too, but look at Tiger Woods 10.

PS360 version: 8.5
Wii version, with perfect 1:1 motion controls, frisbee golf, and more courses: 8.5

That's right, graphics are so critically important they cancel out all the extra content and the incredible controls :O

Yeah I saw that review and went WTF IS THIS SHIT, more content, all the online stuff, amazing controls, and it gets the same score as the others???

Score seems a little harsh.

Well keep in mind they're catering to a specific audience. The kind of person who would frequent gamestop enough to warrant getting the little discount card and the free subscription is most likely a PS360 owner.  That's their bread and butter demographic.  They have like 0 PC games, their Nintendo shelves are full of used shovelware, and most of the flunkies that work there are heavily HD Twin biased--this seems to be the general consensus from some online research and it fits pretty accurately with my personal experiences. If you doubt this go to a few gamestops, ask about a Wii game, then let the hilarity unfold.

I had an encounter that ended with me calling an employee a stupid jackoff and telling him to bend his buttery barrel ass over and get my copy of Mario Galaxy.



Gamestop hates Nintendo, too? Eventhough, they make bucketload of money off Nintendo?
That's like marrying someone for money... Oh wait...



They do these things for the lols. Just laugh at them.
