WOOOT!!! I felt so lonely... playing through all the games has left me with a bunch of threads I wanted to open/restart, but really I didn't see the point since no one was around to respond to them anyway.

I looked at what was happening in the union around once every 2-3 weeks. At one point, I seriously considered not coming back. I don't like Gamespot anymore, I just use it to talk to you guys.

Reviewing games in Beta-testing is kind of a jerk move isn't it? I don't really look too ANY one gamesite anymore for reviews... I go to metacritic and look up a bunch of mixed reviews there.

I am always curious as to what GS says about games and what rating they would give. I don't go to them on advice for buying games though.

That more accurately describes my feeling, I do still read the reviews but tend to form my own opinion. The other problem is the number scale... for one people seem to not understand what it actually MEANS, and the numbers don't often really reflect what the review has to say. I ignore the numbers and read the text to see what the 'pros and cons' were, and normally I can judge from there to say whether the 'bad' things would bother me or not.

I stopped listening to reviews a long time ago. Reason I went to IGN is because they process information faster. Also this place seems to want Nintendo to fail.

Of course they do, nintendo isn't lining their pockets. In all seriousness though, It IS pretty tiring to see nintendo come out with yet ANOTHER mario kart or zelda... and now they're getting lazier, they are releasing remakes as well... nintendo really ISN'T doing much to stick out from the pack anymore

Gamespot write a lot of really crappy articles. A few agos they were talking about a 'My little Pony' 2D fighting game. My little pony for Christ's sake! And I don't know about you guys, but I don't care about all this ' competitive gaming/e-sports ' stuff. And I agree with the general opinion on reviews, they are meant to serve as a guideline.

et pI think it's pretty hilarious that people get played for just PLAYING video games. I understand testers and reviewers, but they are putting in WORK, they are writing reviews, anazlyzing things and such, and testers have to file reports and such when stuff breaks... but other people just.. paid to compete.. it makes me sick @.@

I"d agree but they don't really milk Zelda. It's been 6 years from Twilight Princess to Skyward Sword, Mario on the other hand needs an extended vacation. Oh and Monolith's new RPG caught my eye along with Nintendo collaborating with the people who made Shin Megami Tensai. All I have to say is if Nintendo keeps on showing an interest in RPGs I'll soon have to get myself a Wii U.

I am always up for another MarioKart and Super Smash Bros and a Zelda. But I am sure they will release a couple of other random exclusives. Also Bayonetta 2 is probably gonna be quite amazing.

Yeah.. I'm gonna sound like a hater... but the game library for the Wii U makes this the first console since the SNES where I actually might go out of my way to get a nintendo home Console. Ever since the N64 nintendo has been great with their handhelds but their home consoles have been lacking.

Understandable considering the Wii rarely got games that would appeal to some people. As for the Gamecube, I think it was underrated since it had a lot of great games but it didn't have full 3rd party support,

Exactly.. it didn't have enough third party support. NO console will succeed without a lot of third party support. Why do you think the PS2 was so well recieved? (Don't get me wrong, I own an N64, Gamecube and Wii, but I bought them after their prime.. well the wii is arguable in that case though...)

I think Wii U is at a good start but when the next Playstation and Xbox comes I'm sure that the Wii U won't get games developed for those 2 due to limitations.

I still have my PS2 for all the games it had. I wouldn't call the PS3 great due to the fact that it lost most of the exclusives I cared about like Final Fantasy. I look at the PS3 and they have more shooters than anything else. It also doesn't help that their new IPs don't really interest my either.

My point wasn't that the PS3 was bad... it's my favorite of the home consoles this gen. I was just saying that it started slow and at the beginning I wasn't impressed, and It still doesn't have the game selection that the PS2 had, that's just a fact.

Mainly due to money and time. The ps3 was notoriously hard to learn how to program for, for example. But I agree, it was really bad at the start of it's life. I got oblivion though, so that was really good. (And yes, I know it came out on pc like 2 years before).

I got Oblivion early on for it too... and that game bored me even more than Assassin's creed did.. especially after hearing 'how amazing and revolutionary' the game was... x.x glad I bought it second hand for ten bucks.

 

Demon Souls on the other hand, is pretty amazing,ridiculously difficult, but amazing all the same.

Yeah it probably would bore the hell out of me today since I couldn't get into Skyrim.

I loved oblivion, first wrpg/action rpg I played. It was a completely new concept for me, I was amazed by it. 72 hours of Skyrim was all I could take. However, I'm sure I would have liked it far more if I hadn't played oblivion first. It seems people who really love JRPGs have a dislking of WRPGS. I even created a topic discussing both types of games last year. It was an interesting discussion. As for Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, I have no end of praise for them. I only had time to finish them once though (I'm very uncommited to games these days, I have too many. For example, I love the Yakuza series. I bought Yakuza 3 about 2-3 years ago and still never went back to finish it. Three more Yakuza games came out since then!).

I don't dislike WRPGS... Dragon Age is one of my favorite RPGs ever (the first... not the second.. the second was crap) I also like Champions of Norrath and Baldur's Gate for example, but the Elder Scrolls games are just SO BORING x.x I get why people like them.. I just don't... at all.

I like oblivion.. but I think dragon age is 1 and 2 are terrible... the story is great.. but the gameplay is crap
