You talk a lot, but your explanations as to why it being "borderline broken" are vague. The first month I played it, it was fine. Then matchmaking system was slow, 1 in 10 games would have lag issues. Teh broken!

not that unusual. e.g. the quality of multiplayer didn't stop MGS4 from getting high scores

perhaps not broken, but it has serious issues that reviewers IGNORED.

no other game would get awaywith this type of problem, except gears

It's really not all that bad. Yes i have had to wait a while when playing on my own but with a team of 5 friends i can get into a game instantly. The so called game breaking mechanics are not really as bad as many make out. I am guessing most of the players who say this haven't even touched the game.

That happens all the time. it's lemmings vs everyone else in terms of gears, so a lot of the hate is coming from people who very likely haven't played it. Yes the game has bugs and yes matchmaking is slow if you have no friends, but the game is so fun that I am more than willing to forgive, especially since it's a brand new game, and what multiplayer game has ever been completely complaint free upon release?

Well it's because Gears2 had an awesome SP and Horde mode. The reason why Socom scored lower was because it was an online game only.

Wrong, MGS4 still got a 10. The multiplayer blew.

i hate how gears and LBP both games that scored AAA on most sites even though the online portion was either not working or broken to a degree but they're ready to give socom confrontation a bad rating cause they also had server issues

Its not really that Gears 2 is broken, its that Gears 1 had some issues, particularly with match making, that for some reason the dev never fixed.

im not going to mention anything about Socom cuz it did have messed up mp and that was only thing it had to offer. But i will say that GS not saying the truth about geow2 mp for being broken and messed up is something worth looking up to and the worst of all is that gs actually praised geow2 mp which only adds more fuel to the fire.

Does anyone really think that gamespot gets "paid off"? This is an honest question, do you think they do, or ever have been given money for a positive review?
