I am PISSED at Gamespot's review of games

[Brick Break]

They game Socom: US Navy SEALs an 8.9. 8.9! That game's fucking horrible! And Jak 2 a 9.1. It's a good game, but not that good.

I can excuse the reviews of Extermination and City Crisis. They're Japanese games, and as such how can you give them a great/accurate review?

Still though, Gamespot doesn't give nods to the sexuality or culture of the games. For instance, Future Tactics is British. Fucking British! All of the characters speak with thick accents, and nobody seems to notice? Also, they don't even mention the hot girls in Jak 2 and 3, and yet they play up From Russia With Love as being full of hot women. It's not!

In the end, Gamespot is an unreliable site with a bunch of different reviewers who don't even get around to reviewing all the games. Why not just have one guy review a complete platform? Instead, they go comparing the graphics between versions. Sure, XBox's graphics are superior, but they seem to have the PS2 and GameCube confused. PS2 is way better than GameCube, but they seem to think the complete opposite!

Also, I don't like how they go with the pop culture. Red Faction is a popular game, but is it as good as Half-Life? No! It rips off Half-Life! They also say that Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the best game. It's not! I've found more enjoyment with Halo, as a lot of people have, and Half-Life is even better than Halo, so what's so great about OOT?


I think one of the problems may be that they're trying to be family friendly and name games that "everyone will enjoy"- everyone except me! There are so many old faggots on there that probably started their professional careers in the age when Atari 2600 was around, and yet they never give nod to the great Atari 2600 games! They're simplistic, glitchy, and fun, but instead Gamespot has to go ranking on some Xbox 360 game like it has "bad graphics". Are graphics that are 5 years outdated bad? No! Are graphics that are 15 years outdated bad? Certainly! Ocarnia of Time has terrible graphics!

Now, please answer my question from another site:
What firstperson PS2 game doesn't make you do anything and has sex and shooting and a level editor and online play and humor and great graphics and stuff and ISN'T a movie?

You seem to completely have missunderstod the concept of reviews. It's the reviewers personal opinion. It may not converge with your own opinion.

Yes, I understand that japanese games that have been translated to english is hard for an english speaking person to give a fair review...

They are absolutely correct. The GameCube is a more powerful machine than the Playstation 2.

Ocarina of Time dont have bad graphics for a N64 game...

There's nothing wrong with complaining. In all fairness, I enjoy the site for the few ironic reviews they have on there. I am surprised that they review games that existed before the widespread use of the WWW, hence GameSpot, and yet not ones that are so old that they are no longer marketable. Compare that to the Angry Video Game Nerd, who reviews games for ironic reasons, and thus has a high comedic value to all of his videos.
