@rasterror: Xbox One isn't the market leader, two points off. Just ask Gerstmann from Giant Bomb/CBS Interactive who gave the first Gears a 9.4 in 2006, the the remaster a 4.0 last year. Gerstmann has so much ethics he literally bowed down to the company that fired him for giving honest reviews.

CBS Interactive.

CBS Interactive reviews for Quantum Break -50 on Metacritic.

Times Gerstmann was hired by Gamespot - 2.0 on Metacritic.

Times Gerstmann sold his company to the company that blacklisted him and fired then went to work for them wearing some new hair plugs? 1.

@destinhpark: You should watch the latest The Lobby off their Youtube channel, he talks about calling co-worker Jeff Gerstmann at Giant Bomb, both work for CBS Interactive, about what he was giving it. I would call them out on Giant Bomb but I mentioned CBS Interactive one too many times on their site and I can't post there.

Anyway, the conversation between employee A and B at CBSi went like this...

As in, if we aren't too hot on the game but we want to keep our jobs at CBS and our hair what should we give it?

This was the conversation described. Keep in mind Gerstmann is the same guy who is supposed to be the epitome of ethics in reviews, but he gives Gears a 9.4 and the remaster a 4.0.

@NTM23: After playing a game you gave it a 7.85? Jesus, don't play games man. How the hell does a .85 come into any equation? Give it a 7 or an 8.

Anyone else catch the episode of The Lobby, where the reviewer says he asked the other CBS Interactive employee reviewing it, Jeff Gerstmann, about how he should rate the game?

The same Jeff Gerstmann who gave the first Gears of War a 9.4, then gave the remaster a 4.0? I wonder how CBS Interactive is going to rate Uncharted 4/sarcasm. Why do you guys do podcasts where you say exactly what happened for the review? Peter Brown - "I called Jeff, and asked him what he thought about it, both of us being unbiased reviewers working at CBS".

At least humor us?

It should also be noted that Miyazaki was not there for the beginning or ending of development of the title.

I am getting it at midnight next week, but it still unfortunately looks like Bloodborne 2. Hopefully they kept the RPG in it intact.
