Gamespot Review Boycott

Alright...i have looked at virtually every other site at practically every Wii game review, and Gamespot (surprisingly) most always has the lowest possible score. I have been using this site and only this site for opinions on games before buying them because i'm 18, college-bound, and most certainly not rich. So, I have been using IGN primarily now...

Sorry i had to rant, but now to the question, are there any other trustworthy sites to get my Wii game reviews on other than IGN, or should i just put my trust in them?

Thanx

You see that bolded word? It says OPINIONS. That's exactly what these reviews are. If it just so happens to be lower than another's, than so be it.

well a 9.1 on RE4 seems about right. im getting it. byaaaah!soulsdeparting

I don't understand why everyone gets so offended by a stupid number.

Don't like the review? To bad. It's called an opinion and thats what GS is expressing. And Honestly I think their reviews are acurate if not harsh enough.

The way I see it, is that all of those reviewers have their tastes and distates, just like we all do. Reviewers are people too.meedak

:lol: No they're not. They're the mostsadistic, blood-sucking, unemotional, arrogant, stubborn ba$tards on the planet.

The best way to boycott is to not patronize their site. Which is what you're doing.

Yeah, their reviewers are by-and-large out of step with real gamer's opinion, but just about any member of any reviewing media is. How many awards did that Gay Cowboy movie win? Yeah, people with "loud opinions" are basically ape****. Go play that AAA game Perfect Dark Zero to find out.

What your looking for is someone to agree with you so that you can justify your prupose.

The people at GS are down to earth, if they dont like a game they will say why. Honestly I dont always "like" their reviews but I understand why they give games ther atings they do

I used to be signed up on GamePro, and not to diss them or anything, I just didn't like it there. Reviews weren't accurate enough. They go by every 5%, but on a five-point scale. Gamespot really delves into games and analyzes them inside-and-out, which is why games here take longer to review. Rightfully so, for the most accurate scores, of course, excluding the rare hiccup.

Gertsman complained about wii sports having you stand up to get the most out of the games. His name should be changed to Girthman. He is like the game reviewers that said ssx blur controls were broken then later it was revealed they hadn't played the game for more then 15 minutes nor went through the tutorials.

Quite a number of sites want Gertsman to be fired from gamespot since his reviews are incredibly biased. Read the budokai tenkaichi 2 review on the PS2 he **** about the wii controls on a PS2 review.

Well they gave Zelda an 8.8 which is just insane when it got high 9's at most other places including a 10 in GI.

I only use GameSpot for the forums.

I use IGN for everything else since they get news faster.

I'm IGN insider btw.

I Find most of their reviews to be accurate. But still theres no reason to go **** because "ZOMG (a game) DIDNT GET A 10 WTF" seriously you sound like such a tool.

Gamespot gives low scores generally. There have been 4 AAA Games this year, 2 of them ports Warioware and Forza 2 being the other 2. They don't play the game for five seconds and go OH THIS IS AWESOME. They analyze ever single aspect of the game instead of judging it on first glance like so many of you do.

Same for me. Except, I'm not a IGN insider and I also use GoNintendo.

The reviews are consistent they just exspect more from devs then we are getting which makes sence. All raters say a game has to push the console but GS is one off the few that use that in there rating system.wooooode

i dont get ur sig at all........
