Red Steel Review

[Electro UK]

Wow.. Nintendo fanboys up in arms over a bad review?

It was a mediocre game, get over it and stop crying. There is no big conspiracy against you, and GS isn't trying to keep people from buying the Wii. They're just being objective critics like they should be. They're not wizing their pants over a game just because of it's name or hype like almost every other reviewer, so stop complaining.

They didn't give GoW a perfect 10. Does that give me a reason to **** myself and start screaming bloody murder and accuse them of hating X360 games? Get over yourselves, ****.

Whiny ****ing babies. Makes me sick.

And to this man I give my kingdom for his wisdom.

The fanboys you speak of amount to about, what, three or four people? Suffice it to say, this crappy corner of the SHH! doesn't have that much traffic. We're not the ones blowing it out of proportion.

Here's a new review:

Wahahaha!

I really doubt an already widely viewed website like Gamespot would do that.

No so they don't visit other sites. They might go on game rankings or a video game blog or a message board and they see 9.5/10 "Well that seems about right" but then they see Gamespot is sticking out like a sore thumb and then all the message boards around the world are talking about it going to Gamespot to see this review instead of the other sites.

Or you could be vastly over-estimating one reviewer's power in the gaming world. Or that. Always that.

Red Steel

"A decent amount of fun to be had, but when it comes to controls there's definitely a learning curve."

Yup, Gamespot's just hatin'.

Yeah. But anything Nintendo is discussing this, its like a virus, so right now Jeff has some power in the gaming world. Doesn't mean its good.

Or it could be just that they're rating a mediocre game with a mediocre score? You're the last one that I'd suspect thought there was some kind of GameSpot conspiracy against the Wii.

Red Steel has looked mediocre from the start, and a bunch of 8s and 7s aren't really showing that this was really anything other than a mediocre game. So what if GS is taking out frustration on this game? Who cares, it's not a must-have game to begin with and never will be.

Shhhh....play along, goddamn it...

On one hand, I really want to get Red Steel...it looks fun, and has box art so awesome that it justifies a purchase alone. But on the other hand, I really want to cancel my Wii an Zelda preorder out of hatred for the Nintendo fans I've encountered here.

Yeah, cancel everything
You'll probably end up hating the whole thing, and then games in general

Spite is not a valid reason for returning an item.

Go ahead. If you're really considering it, might as well give your Wii to someone who actually wants it. You shouldn't let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch. If that was the case with me, I'd never have bought a 360.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Maybe not. Hatred is though.

 

[Extromaniac]

I attest.

I'm close to that point after tonight. Seeing people throw a fit over a score as awesome as an 8.8 is just...unreal. I haven't been this disenfranchised with gaming since Oblivion was released, which actually wasn't that long ago, which makes me feel kinda burnt out

 

[블라스]

Yeah

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Yeah

 

[Spidey-Bat]

You're driven by hatred to spite the Nintendo fans by canceling your Wii preorders. So it's still spite.

LOL now that I think of it, Gamespot gave Shenmue 2 a 7.3

No, out of hatred for Nintendo fans he doesn't want to get the Wii.

That's not spite, that's just getting pissed off with a group of whining idiots and not wanting something anymore.

As I have said, it is not the score. It is the review itself.

And when the bad place am I going to break 18,000 posts?

That's what spite is

Which is still a pretty good score. People just can't seem to grasp that 5 is mediocre, and anything above 5 is "better than most". They seem to think 8.9 and below means "this game blows".

And you can say that as many times as you want, and it will never, never be true. Nintendo fanboys are *****ing and moaning about the score, period. It's plain as day.

I still hate Jeff and his face though, but I guess you have a point.
