Quote: look at the review over the score. And don't get nearly as annoyed over slightly low reviews...
As I said before, the score is a summation of the review, and if the reviewer knows what he/she is doing, it should accurately reflect the written review. And in the case of Gamespot's written review, I've seen better "reviews" in the user comment section at gamestop.com.
Quote:Reviewers have to pretty much complete games to do reviews... and it really isn't that bad. Not in my opinion anyway... and this isn't a objective issue...
You'd think that was true, but it's not. I've spoken with several editors at various gaming sites and magazines and they told me that they rarely ever finish games that they don't really care for.
Quote:We weren't because you refuse to answer every time I bring it up. Because you know its not something you can win...
As for review quality itsself I think you're deluding yourself if you think I'm losing.
I know that I can't win an argument that you just brought up out of nowhere? Do you think that I don't pay attention to your posts? You just said that you prefer Gamespot's "style" over IGN's, which is a completely different topic.
Quote:All that says to me is how little you read Gamespot reviews. Because it couldn't be any farther from the truth.
Think whatever you want to think, ABF. I'll have as much luck convincing you of the truth as I will convincing nickdaddyg that the Gamecube has some great games. It's just hopeless.Quote:Not true, not true, and not true. As you know if you think about it for over two seconds.
You just say that because I don't think stupid humor is very funny.
You don't think anything is funny. Well except for a few unfunny comic strips.
Quote:If you honestly believe that I think we have a good candidate for the insane asylum...
Oh... one more thing. There was a review style better back in 1996.
You found it in PC Gamer and Computer Gaming World.
Better if you know very little about games, which seems to be the case with you. I keep up with news, previews, and impressions for most games, so having short reviews by three or four different people is much for useful than having one long review by a single person which basically just covers everything I already know about a game.
