It is. I hope our questions don't make him regret it. :PThat's cool of him to accept an interview like this.

My question would be:
How does it feel to be a game reviewer without knowing how to play Video Games?
:P
If you were working on Gamespot during the days of TP and were to review that game for this site, what would you have given it out of 10? :D
[QUOTE="gamebreakerz__"]So Zelda is a retread but MW3 isn't? Right........shakmaster13Call of Duty hasn't stayed the same game for the past 20+ years. It'll get there though. This was long overdue. Neither has Zelda. Having dungeons, and have a story that revolves around Link and Zelda doesn't mean it's the same game. It just means it's a Zelda game. If you want retreads, in the time between Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, five (5) Call of Duty games have come out.
2 questions for Tom
First off, How does it feel to be the most controversial reviewer on Gamespot?
Second, Can you change the score to a 10? :P

I'm curious if Bill Gates is good in bed though. :P
If he wanted SW to explode, he would've given UC3 a 7.5.[QUOTE="mmmwksil"]
Question:
Did you make that review up just to watch SW explode? Was the opportunity too good to pass up?
TrapJak
Man...that would've been awesome.
Nah, that would've caused a meltdown and probably damaged the earth irrevocably. :P
My question: Why do you think you had such a problem with the controls that no one else seems to have?
Also why you guys decide when and where to be harsh. It's inconsistent.
Tom McShea,you are the best reviewer on gamespot.
You do not let hype or nostalgia affect your reviews which is commendable.Emotions should never have effects on reviews and you understand that.
Keep up the good work and you will continue to receive my support.

Man...that would've been awesome.
TrapJak
Nah that would've had the explosion power of like...a firecracker :P Plus everyone thinks UC2>UC3 so they wouldn't have complained. (I think UC3 is far better in every way except the stupid aiming mechanics.)

I don't.Third question: Why did you take so long to review this game?2 questions for Tom

Second, Can you change the score to a 10? :P

How is it that he had so many issues with the controls (which are not even IR) but others love it.
How is it that they "didnt change much of anything", yet changed the overworld layout, control scheme, graphics, and more?
Question to Tom(doubt he will answer) Why did you complain about something that no other reviewers had problems with(quest, motion controls)? fueled-system
This is a strange situation, as EGM gave the game an 8.5; "Poor motion controls remind us of 5 years of flailing futility"
What is strange is that some people have, like you said, ZERO problems. This is what I don't understand. Is there something tricky with the controls? Are they faulty? Is it something very simple that some people can't grasp? THIS is what no review seems to answer, and it is a rather big question that needs to be answered for a lot of potential buyers.
Hah! :cool:[QUOTE="WithoutGraceXII"]Ask why he reviews games based on his own experience rather than just giving the scores everyone assumes a game will get.WTaekoW
Not if it was on a Dual Shock 3. Worst analog triggers ever.Willy105
At least it controls better than wiimote :P
This game uses so few buttons that the Dual Shock could easily handle it without needing to use L2 and R2 as long as sword control was mapped to the right analog stick.Ask why he reviews games based on his own experience rather than just giving the scores everyone assumes a game will get.WithoutGraceXIIIt's not a score everyone assumes it will get. It's a game that GOT the score everyone thought it would get by all the other game sites. lol!! The score really makes Gamespot look bad. Of course everyone has a right to their opinion, but when your opinion is so far off the deep end, it makes you look silly. Zelda SS: 7.5 -vs- Metacritic: 94 Super Mario Land 3D 8.0 -vs- Metacritics: 89 That's comedy gold.

It's great but not that great.
My question would be: Is your review taking into consideration the quality and polish standard used today in your average, decently reviewed game? Is it still "just" a "good" game when compared to what gets released nowadays? Or is this rather low Zelda score punishing the game for whatever faults you think it might have, even though outside the Zelda IP, this kind of craftsmanship, polish and attention to detail is usually rewarded with much positive impressions?Thunderdronethis is something that I would like to see him address
My question is will you re-review Infamous 2? i mean you got to admit infamous 2 review was very bad

doesn't matter. If Tom re-reviews SS, that'll subtract ANY credibility that Gs have left after that K&L debacle. If they review Ss again, Gs is no longer credible to me.Please Log In to post.
