Idk, I actually kinda like McShea's reviews. The thing about GameSpot is like, you can't actually look at the score. Just read the review. You can tell if the person you're reading about represents you as a gamer. Personally, I go to IGN for all my information. Why? They have more of it. And honestly, the guys seem like they are like me. They're fun and witty. Here, everyone is super cynical and upset about something. I go listen to the podcast with McShea and Petit on there and it's not terrible, but they just hate something or someone all the time. It's rarely fun or happy. Then I go to Podcast Beyond or Podcast Unlocked on IGN and the hosts are super funny, wacky, and funny. Like, I don't look to be upset after listening to a video game podcast. But yeah, for me it's all about whether or not they encapsulate you as a person. For me, McShea's reviews are solid and honest. Petit's review of GTA Online again, was brutal and honest because it needed to be. The online was bland and the promise seemed nicer than the reality. She called out Rockstar and honestly, those kinds of reviews should be appreciated. Difference of opinion should be invited. I don't want to hear zomg zomg beyond is so dumb all the time. Occasionally, I would like to hear what people liked from an otherwise despised game critically. I think GameSpot does a good job of that, McShea especially.
