Famitsu sucks

[OB1]

Are you trying to deny you complain about reviews (focusing on scores that are "too low" to you) fairly frequently?

Of course I complain about scores every now and then, but only when accompanied by reviews. If the score and the written review contradict each other (like Gamespot's Metroid Fusion review) then I'll point that out.

ure Gamespot has done better, but still, its not badly written... its okay. You just disagree with his bad points so you've got to find other problems with it.

The fact that you can't tell how poorly written that review is says a lot to me. The review only touches upon a couple of aspects of the game and doesn't get any deeper than the info you would find at a good site's first, brief impressions of the game. It's like the reviewer only played the game for two minutes.

That was just to show decent examples both styles. And why I like one over the other... in response to all your complaints about Gamespot's style...

Oh, and I've never said IGN or Gamespot use super short reviews... that complaint is aimed at multiple-reviewer mags, not IGN or Gamespot.

We weren't arguing about the sites' different styles of reviewing. You just turned that argument into something else because you were losing.

'd say taht Gamespot's to the point and more professional-reading reviews are a nice change of pace after more IGN "humor".

Your definition is "professional" is hilarious. Gamespot's reviews are extremely unprofessional and they read like someone who knows nothing about video games is consulting an instruction manual and offering very ignorant observations of the games they are reviewing.

And all we established about my sense of humor is that it doesn't see many of the things you find really funny all that funny. That's called "difference of opinion"... ever heard of it?

ABF, just admit that you are completely devoid of a sense of humor and Ill be on my way. You never laugh at anything, you never tell jokes, and you probably don't even understand the meaning or the word.

The only two or three issues of EGM I own are from between late '95 and mid '96 (one of them is the Spaceworld issue... with previews of all the N64 games...). So I know that four-reviewer, paragraph-long-review style as EGM's. As I said before. And I also said I've read a few issues of it from time to time since then, and have noticed the reviews were a bit longer... one longer review, and two even shorter ones... but they are still quite abrupt.

With their tiny reviews they are able to express more about a game's real strengths and weaknesses than Gamespot's terrible reviews do.
