Lol 7.5

That is utter bs.

Sorta like the Pokemon 7.5 score.

Doesn't matter, this game is still amazing to me !

IGN gave it a 9 score after a plethora of 8.5 scores.... So i am happy.

Isn't it obvious: the damage control. You always need a stupid critcs validation in damage control :lol:

they say that because its msotly true in the exclusive department.

And people try to convince me they don't take gamespot reviews that seriously :|

[QUOTE="super600"]

Some of the comments are ridicuolus from the fanboys that are attacking Tom's review. I wonder if the mods notice this.

i dont get how people view one review and make that the only opinion that matters...

i personally take 3-5 of the big sites and average there scores.iF the average is good then ill buy it

whats a good average? If its only 80+ you missed out on many good games.

Isn't it funny how they are following the Starcraft ladder system? Though they did miss plat. Guess they are just that good.

[QUOTE="argetlam00"]gamespot is the most visited gaming site for the same reason casual **** games sell alot. It means nothing. Admitedly, the forum is entertaining. Thats why I come here. The biggest flaw is that the community here takes gamespot reviews WAY too seriouslyThe_RedLion

No its not the most logical conclusion at all actually. Why does the fact it is the most visited mean people think its the most credible? Infact, for that very reason I would think it would be the LEAST credible. Advertisers love site with lots of people and we all know how weak gamespot is at resisting temptation for some cash.

Honestly, I can't believe people are freakin' out over a 7.5. That's a good score, folks. God forbid we don't slap a 9.0 on everything just because it looks pretty. Using the whole scale is a good thing.

And seriously, can we take a second, play the full game, and then come back and freak out. Generally, I find that if most review sites say a sequel isn't as good as the original... it ain't as good. I mean there are exceptions, but come on.

I think the main problem is that people have preconcieved notions of what a game should score and any review that contradicts that perconcieved notion upsets them.

It isn't good. Didn't you see the scale? Us gamers consider 75 to be junk. :lol:

Oh man, all the cow tears lems must be bathing in right now.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] what have other forums to do with anything? people complain about everything in forums, including other game sites. what have other blogs to do with anything? you calling them awesome doesn't somehow prove anything i asked a simple question, can you prove that most people don't consider the most visited gaming site credible? because it sounds weird that so many people are visiting a site they don't trusteboyishere

I come here to enjoy the forums cause its fun. I definately do NOT come here for reviews. Never have never will. Doubt many do actually. Other gamer sites mean alot because of the reputation gamespot has built. The website has damaged itself a lot this generation peaking at the gertsman firing. Huge amount of people ditched gamespot that day. It is very clear that gamespot and the members that only use gamespots reviews as though they are the only thing that matter are disliked outside this forum. Heck if you visit NeoGAF, things like "sounds like something on gamespot/gamefaqs" was said quite often. Though now they are cracking down on it since its basically trollin. You can still see their warning about it in their faq though. Thats just one example.

so your own example and anecdotal evidence... that's it?

sorry, gs is the most visited gaming site, that alone speaks a lot more about how credible people consider it than that.
