Is it just me or?

Trust me, It is not just you thinking these things. I have noticed the same thing. I can understand, however, the fact that the reviews are taking forever. What really sucks though is the fact that it seems like the community is starting to really dip. It is really slowing down. :(

*EDIT* - Grammar

They are just in a rebuilding stage. That's what happens when you lose some of your main reviewers. Don't be so impatient, just give them time to get their S*** together. Getting reviews wriiten and edited (and making videos for some) isn't that easy. So just wait and reviews will be posted when they're posted.AFS-Marc

It's just you, this is a completely unique observation that only you have made.VegetaJr

Well I mean this is a business, would you go into Walmart and if they had barely anything in stock would you be ok with them going "Well, we just lost our manager, and like 5 other really important guys"im-so-trunk

I would go and get the same products elsewhere, maybe for a higher price, but with better customer service for sure. If Gamespot isn't cutting it right now for reviews, use another site and come check the place back out later. Wal-Mart doesn't need to look for well educated journalists to stock their shelves, the average Wal-Mart employee is a regular Joe Schmoe, and guys like Ryan Davis, Jeff G, and company are not average people. It will take time to get things rolling again, and if you can't handle that, then I should point out the door leading out of Gamespot is as wide open as the one that lead you in to this site

Why get mad? It's not like there's a shortage of reviews around. Plus, I'd rather have quality writing rather than up-to-date reviews.

As for the quality over quantity arguement. GS should give us both, you should not be forced to forfeited either quality or quantity, like I said this is a business and quite frankly other sites are producing both quality and quantiy at a very consistent pace. It's not impossible, GS once did it themselves, but now I find it's taking much longer to get any form of quality, and the quantity of it is laughable.

I don't understand why you all take this as a personal attack. I've been coming here sine the late 2000's on a consisent basis, GS was unbelievable back then, now I'm demanding they make it just as good. When you sympathize for them you enable them, you allow them to put out this sub-par product that you accept with the same open arms apparently as before. You give the writers and editors no incentive to make it better again, if you truely enjoy the good GS you would not except the product they are giving us now.

Like I said, I've been coming here for years and getting what I've always thought was a great site, and now I'm not and I feel I have the right to say something about it. Some of you probably assume since I'm not a subscriber then I have no room to talk, actually that's not the truth at all. You see GS makes the majority of there money through website ads, and by coming here every single one of us is giving them money in some little way or another by giving them high traffic. I know some of you have suggested taking myself some where else, and maybe I do need to do that. But if you actually like GS then you should probably consider it too...

I think you're taking a website about videogames on the internet a tad too seriously, to be perfectly frank. They have a lack of editiors right now, it's slow. Like I said, you can either tolerate it, or you can't. It's not tough to decide, and no matter which way you decide to go, it isn't a big deal, because it's just a website.VegetaJr

It's spelled rebuttal. You're taking it too seriously because you seem to be hung up on a website about a hobby. You asked why it was slow, the only answer thats been given for this was given to you, so what else do you want, exactly? You have the answer for the slow arrival of new material, at this point it's a take it or leave it situation for you. What do you hope to accomplish by pushing the issue? Getting a bunch of people to leave? A bunch of people already have been leaving, and nothing you're saying or doing is going to change the minds of the people who decided to stay in the last few months. You're beating a dead horse. Bury the poor thing and do whatever you feel like you have to do. You aren't saying anything that hasn't been said already, and you're accomplishing nothing.

You missed the party on this whole thing, it's done, and Gamespot is trying to pull it back together. If you don't want to stick around for it, you don't have to. If you want to leave forever, do so. If you want to just go elsewhere for a few weeks and come back to see whats up later, GS will still be here. I'm saying you're taking it too seriously because you ARE. You asked a question, and it was answered. Do what you need to do with that information, and have a good day. if you think it's just a "lame ass excuse", well then, stick it to them and leave.

Yes things here are kinda slow right now, however as a good friend in management used to tell his customers when he wouldn't give them what they wanted, threatening to take their business elsewhere..."You are the consumer, you have the right to do business with me or with someone else."

Didn't make him any friends, although it would give me a good laugh. And the thing is, he's right. No one is forcing you to continue to be a patron of this site. It's not like you don't have any other options. If GS is failing to provide you with the level of experience you desire, then why not check out some other gaming sites, lord knows there's plenty of them. Then, once you given GS some time to "get their act together", you can come back to see if it gives you the old buzz that it used to give you, the one that made you want to become a part of the community in the first place.

Give 'em time and I'm sure that will happen.
