[QUOTE="jack_russel"]this topic is garbage. The review system is fine. It's good because it keeps people from saying "OMG, my game score .1 better than yours, OMG It's teh better!".Corvin

It's not good IMO.

It makes things more bunched together and less specific. I mean an 8.8 game before will now just bemoved up to 9.0

I think we are going to see a hell of a lot of a lot more AAA titles or a hell of a lot more 8.5's than ever before now cause of it. Basically this system was put in place for casuals and that's about it. It's for non serious gamers IMO. Maybe this is thanks to the Wii? lol :p

Maybe its about taking the focus off of a trivial, useless number and actually tasking the reader to *gasp* READ the reviews? And if I don't feel like reading the review... the new pro/con icons do a good enough job of informing me of the good and bad aspects of the game. I really don't see the problem.

What? You think people didn't "READ" the reviews before? LOL

You seriously can't believe that people didn't read the reviews O_o

And even when I read the new reviews, they are inferior to what they once were. For example, I used to be able to easily find specific info I wanted, such as info about the Graphics or the Gameplay, sound ect ect. They had the review split up into east to find sections. Now those sections are gone.

The new review system is Inferior to the old system in every way I can think of.

Isn't it clear by now that the VAST MAJORITY of people who have relied on your reviews fo YEARS now, feel that your new review system is VASTLY INFERIOR to your old one?

I sincerly hope this is just a "trial run" to see how things go. I very much hope you are already planning on switching back.

I'm struggling to comprehend why you would take something that was never broken.... and break it:(

I have gone from taking YOUR reviews as THE source for my reviews, to quite frankly reading your reviews and feeling sad and frustrated as to why you would make such a NEGATIVE change.

I have not yet found a new "main source" for my reviews, but believe me.... I'm on it. And I'm not happy about it :(

The New GS Rating system is absolutely Terrible. Completely Inferior.
