Famitsu sucks

[A Black Falcon]

I've been reading Gamespot for a long time. Longer than IGN has even existed... I used to go to this review/news site called OGR, but five years ago or something Gamespot bought them... I've been going there ever since... so I think that thats a slightly better selection?

Oh, but I would admit that Gamespot is weak in parts, such as their GB coverage. Their coverage of GB games has always been not too good...

When did I ever say that I judge games based on scores? I'll point out if someone gives a good game a crappy score (like this thread), but I never decide on whether or not I'm going to buy a game based off of a score alone.

I never said it affects your purchasing decisions, just that you complain overly long about what you see as mediocre or poor review for games that "deserve" better. I'd say that that is paying more attention to the score than to the review... which doesn't make sense, IMO.

You read it like that because you are an imbecile. Think what you want. You and others like you (i.e. Darunia, nickdaddyg) are too stubborn to listen to reason.

Reason like "read a review before judging it"? If that's bad logic, I don't want to see good logic!

You're right about one thing: no decent review would state those things, which is precisely why Gamespot's reviews are so bad.

The point is that the review doesn't say that anywhere other than in your twisted mind.

Here we go again. ABF taking a note from Darunia by only taking parts of what someone says and twisting them around because that's the only way you're able to rebut in an argument. Very said.

Here's how it brakes down. Pay close attention now, because I know how hard it is for you to comprehend what people write:

1. First I read previews, impressions, and articles on games to get info on what they are about and how they play.

2. The next thing I do is wait for reviews to come around and what I usually do is skip past all of the useless info on the game (because I already know what it's about; refer to point #1) and get right to the meat of the review: how the final version of the game looks, sounds, and plays.

Now then, was that too difficult to understand? I could bring out the sign language again if you're still having trouble with this.

Well that method clearly doesn't work because you constantly complain that good and/or well written reviews are bad.

The score is, in the tiniest nutshell possible, the reviewer's opinion of the game.

Tiniest and innacurate.
