Quote:As I've said a million times, you overly harp on the scores instead of focusing what is vastly more important: the REVIEW ITSSELF!
Stupid, the scores reflect the written reviews. I'm not going to post the entire reviews each time I refer to them!
Quote:Sure I think Gamespot is stupid for giving low scores for Gauntlet Legends/Dark Legacy or Rush 2049. And I think they are very wrong there. Lots of worse games scored far higher. But even so the reviews are decent enough that I can tell that they are the kind of game I'd like, score or no... it's not just about "good english", but an effective arguement that succeeds at the true purpose of the work. You mentioned "A Modest Preposal" somehow as a counter but I'd say that it supports my arguement as it too succeeds at doing exactly what it was meant to... though it is hard to compare given how that was meant as humor and not as a serious piece of criticism.
Anyway, I thought the Gamespot review of MM was good. A bit low? Perhaps, but I can understand how they got such a score... by their standards and review system I certainly might have given it a similar score too.
That's because you don't like good games, and therefore and don't like MM.
Your argument is idiotic. You're saying that because Kasavin uses good grammar and explains his reasons for not liking a game... it's automatically good. That Christian review does the exact same thing! And A Modest Proposal--if it were serious--does the same thing (not to games, but you know what I mean... well, probably not)!
Seriously, you are... :screwy:
