Treyarch Black Ops 2 Zombies Totally redone and no longer a mini game
23 hours 12 mins ago
We knew GTA IV got a perfect 10 on Gamespot, but the news here is the score was actually taken up a few notches from a previous 9.5. Database error, or disturbing activity?
I know most gamers don't give a shit about ethics and the videogame press, but if you can't appreciate what's going on here then something is seriously wrong with you. Now I can't officially say what caused this change, but given Gamespot's record of pandering to videogame publishers and firing their own employees for not giving high enough scores what do you think is going on here? It's insane!
Now I love the GTA franchise. I'd go as far as saying that it's my favorite franchise ever. However, the hype and bullshit reviews surrounding this game are making me sick. Not that reviews for a huge game like this really matter, but to put it bluntly many of the reviews for this game are bought and paid for in some way and are far from honest. I've always said that major AAA games never get bad scores and this game is the perfect example of why that is.

Something about that just doesn't make sense.
Its funny though because its the same situation on Metacritic, which compiles and averages reviews.
Awesome.
And Gamespot can't even acknowledge their favorite game has some bugs or difficult parts in it? Pussies.
It's ratings, not perfection. Think of the Olympics, say the swimming competition. A guy dives off, great form and landing, and get's three 10's from the judges. That doesn't mean that it was the most perfect dive they have ever seen, more like it's one of the better ones.
Ah screw it here's their view.
