I give up. Im done with SW for a while. Resistance flopped and the lemmings have completely taken over. (not to mention I kind of dug myself in a hole with damage control, oops :?)

I also give up on the PS3s launch. Sony did everything wrong it possibly could. There is not a single part of the PS3s launch that is appealing anymore. There are no consoles at launch, they have bugs, there are very few games, it costs so much, the online isnt ready, and overall the launch just sucks now.

Im going to play WoW for awhile. I will stop in a out of GUFU boards to see what is going on, but generally you guys will have to fight the good fight without me until some time next week.

Yeah it's really bad and I don't think it will get any better. I have a feeling Jeff is going to flop Zelda TP(Or at least flop it by SW standards) too and I'm sure the lemmings would just go wild with that.

It comes with the territory , TCHBO ..............but Resistance still looks and sounds like a fantastic game from video review. I don't have a major problem with the review but i think gamespot could have used the power of "tilt" in this case to bump it up a bit.

As long as we show it was mostly AA, it will stop. Besides Wasdie it's not like AA is a bad score!

Resistance's big selling point was the uniqueness of its weaponry, and according to the GS review, it seems like the standard weapons are still the most useful.

The ownage was so brutal. So much chaos, SW has yet again gone to hell. That and porn is rampant in the official thread. The banned amount of people will be great.

Sony's been WTFPWNing its diehard fans for all of the last 12 months, when will it end?  To be true, the game is getting triple-As elsewhere, and the multiplayer options do hold more promise, in my opinion, than what we see in Gears (if we overlook co-op, which... we can't overlook).  But yeah, as far as System Wars is concerned, it's time for Sony fans to simmer down and keep their faces covered.  Oh, well.

No don't go. I hate the cows because they have so many fanatic fanboys but you are one of the few that I like. The cows will go even more insane if you're not here to regulate :cry:

I'm in a bit of a blue funk myself with the Excite Truck review. A handy friend at a lonely EB games on a school day (for most people) allowed me to get a good 3 hours of play in with both single and multiplayer, and I'd seriously say that the curent B score is a travesty of GS's usual sensibilities. I personally would give it 8.8, but it looks like that's not the way GS was heading... Also, I noticed absolutely none of his complaints about the graphics.

As for Resistance, I would have to had played it... but 8.6 is within the deviation range from 9.2. The way IGN described the game and the way it looked made me seriously consider that it would get higher. But an 8.6 game at launch is pretty good, especially if you accept the fact that Perfect Dark Zero simply didn't deserve what it got in the end. Sony's launch may not look appealing right off the bat, but I can see things brightening up very nicely a few months down the road.

Don't give up! You're playing right into their hands!

If you quit SW, not only will the remaining cows seem even more irrational (which, considering some of the cows now, is pretty bad), but the lemmings will have free reign over SW. Despite the fact that I'm, on the whole, a lemming, I don't want that. That'll just make things bad. You can at least do something to stem the tide.

If Zelda launches with a really high score, that could at least leave some kind of balance.

It's not that the cows are jerks, it's that the way Gamespot has been treating them they're lashing out at everyone because they are so mad.

I agree. The cows deserve a far better rap than they're getting.

Don't go. Sure the PS3 launch was pretty bad in almost every conceivable way, but try to focus the attention of threads on the more positive sides of things. Throw in a few PS3 game previews, post some good news, highlight the finer games coming next year and beyond and finally don't give up - it's a sign of weakness. Are you weak?

I can understand why cows are pissed. They haven't had much good news in a very long time. This really doesn't help, especially considering Resistance is getting better scores in many other places.

But do you really think that Gamespot has made an actual effort to mistreat either Sony in general or cows in particular?

I personally think the Gamespot editors got too caught up in the Gears of War hype train. It was just so good that I think some of the game has rubbed off on them. I noticed it a lot when Oblivion was released too, when all the reviews afterwards took a sudden dip in scores. I think Microsoft was half right when they said the PS3 launch would run into Halo 3, except that it was Gears. The result is that Sony now have zero AAA contributions from Gamespot which is really quite a big blow...

I just mention that the reason PS3 ports aren't looking as good as 360 games might have something to do with he PS3 being new, and that games will look better latter on...

And I got flamed by six people. :|
