How has this awful game maintained its number one spot on gamespot for the last few days?

Has GS sold what little soul it has left to fake game ratings?

Prolly cuz so many people are looking for a 'new free MMO'.  I wasn't impressed with it myself.

Its not really a game either. Its more like a virtual chat room. Imagine the GS forums but with 3D avatars running around (naked in the mature sections) a virtual world. I don't really see why its considered a game anyway. All you do is chat and if you have a paid subscription program custom skins, items, etc. There is no SP or story and no way to "win" or anything.

It's not even toted as a game by the developer. So why the hell is it featured on gamespot??

It's basically a virtual myspace

ie it's crap.

Hmmmmm I dunno, maybe because people have actually made real world money off of SL's virtual property?  /sarcasm

I have a solution to this situation... People, start looking at "Titan Quest", its a cool game, needs a bigger online community because its a really good game, and lastly looking at this might bump second life from 1st and 2nd to 3rd or even off the list (=

I would say that SL is not a "game" now, it is called metaverse, the virtual relity space, according to what I know, this may be the next generation world wide web, pretty big:-)

 

Google seems to have some interest in buying this metaverse, not sure if this is true....

i was thinking of trying it about a year ago, but i figured the regristration process wasn't even worth it... (the only reason i got interested in it in the first place is PC Gamer seems to love the game...)

 Pretty much what it comes down to.....  Most people download it thinking it's going to be a regular MMORPG, then get pissed and say it sucks without spending more than 5 minutes in it.
