@martingaston @srtfrostbite Thanks a lot, it feels good to know that your words are being considered. :-)

As for the game itself, don't worry about it, it will come to you itself!

Wish you the best. :-)

I rarely comment on gamespot forums, but, watching this this clip and remembering some others made me so frustrated that I had to take a walk for 10 minutes and return to write this comment.

First, why do I prefer to check gamespot rather than other videogame review sites? Because I find the site well structured, easy to use and navigate, because I find reviews rather unbiased and close to my opinion and because I find the news well reported, well cited and on time.

But(!):

Gamespot:

Please specialize your staff based on their preferences and of course based on their skills on different gaming genres! Those who are good at RTS, for example, know the genre better as a whole, and consequently can play, judge, review, rate, and cast this particular genre better. There is no need to be rigid, there just needs to be a preference towards more knowledgeable and more skilled people when deciding to make a piece about a specific game.

A word to castors:

Cam, I enjoy your “What if machine” episodes, and Martin, I think addition of you and Eddie has made a great impact on news section of gamespot, but I have a few requests that are meant to improve the viewer experience, I would be glad if you guys could arrange to do them or give your thoughts on them. These are not just towards you but also towards any other gamespot staff who does a play/cast episode.

1.When choosing a difficulty, please choose a difficulty appropriate to your skill level. If you could breeze the game on a specific difficulty, that is the right choice to play and cast at the same time, if you had a little difficulty, or worse, the game was challenging on a specific difficulty, that difficulty is not the right choice. This has the dual purpose of avoiding death or disaster in the game that would require a reload and waste the viewers’ time, as well as freeing up your mind to make great comments.

2.It is better to play that specific part of the game beforehand, (This is actually done in this episode and so is not related to the castors of this episode, but the next part is! J ) This will allow you to know which part of the game –whether cinematic, a smart or funny quote, or any other “special” moment in the game- requires attention and thus, does not need comment.

3.It is alright to stop commenting and focus on the game on large or difficult battles to minimize your loss.

Thank you and wish you the best. J
