Gamespot is becoming that crappy professor who gives well written B/C+ papers D's and F's because he's read the same material over 30 years of teaching. I feel like i need a spreadsheet with their grading rubric to make sense of any of these reviews. Marking down GTA/Batman for being unapologetic and marking down an innovative new IP in The Last of Us for being not fun? Where do you find these reviewers who are supposed to help the average gamer decide to play a game or not. How can the masses trust their preferences when they are as elusive as they are hipster and prominently in the minority.
I'm fine with low/no audio advertisements, but when i click on a video and get blasted with a super loud ad adblock goes on. Its been fun gamespot. pz!
Oh, boy. Here we go again. Right out of the gate we're already talking smack about a catchy children's cartoon theme song. The battle to redefine reviews for good/bad games and deflate scores is going strong! His reviews come with such a narrow perspective that they need an opening warning describing their context in order to have any weight. Nostalgia is a powerful thing and I'm hoping I'm pleasantly not surprised after playing through this one too.
@Ghostdog201 You, my good sir, must be way old :). You might not understand it as your parents didn't understand your generation. However, making six figures for playing a video game that 40 million people play worldwide each month puts a little swag into even the most unattractive of geeks. being telegenic factors little into why people watch this show. They're 'electronic athletes' if you will. The bottom of my shoe is more telegenically acceptable than some of my favorite sports athletes are, but I would still watch a reality show based on them because I'm invested and enjoy learning more about them off the field.
