GS is BY FAR the furthest thing from the "best gaming site" on the interwebz. this place has gone down the toilet and isnt showing signs of getting better.

You don't trust his reviews? :lol: you're clueless

the whole conspiracy was that he was fired because he didn't review falsly due to pressure from sponsors. So because his reviews were legit you don't trust him?

Sounds mor elike to me he just thinks Jeff can't do a good review, which he can't. He let's his personal taste of games dictate scores completely.

First off... That never even happened... Jeff said it himself... Secondly, I don't trust his reviews because I feel that he has a bias that just won't work with reviewing video games. Of course you need an opinion, but I think that his bias gets in the way of his reviewing too much. Don't even try to call me a fanboy, I have both the Wii and the 360 and I respect the PS3 (somewhat, Lol), but Come on! Condemned gets a 5 and Brawl gets a 4... I know you're going to say, "But it's his opinion!". Fine then, I don't like his opinion, I think other people's (the majority.. go figure...) opinions have more validity and I respect them more.

i guess the point of this thread was also to get people's thoughts on GS and how its changed. I know for me seeing giantbomb.com start up was a nice throw back to a few years ago.

I could honestly give a rats about what that bias fanboy has to say,
didn't like his reviews when he was here, not going to his new site to read his bias reviews when I'm there.

I still find it ironic that a guy that bias was fired for not having a different type of a bias...

I did. He was my favorite editor before he was canned. I'm going to him wherever he goes because I think he's awesome and I like his reviews and personality. He's the main reason I listened to The HotSpot so much.

I agree, I was here for a while before I found out about him. Then I saw a video review by him and I was like "Who is this guy thinks he can make a review fun?" I wasn't into HotSpot, because I didn't know about it. But I've listend to Arrow Pointing Down from the beginning.

Not narrow-minded, going by the fact that the guy running it, has a history of extreme bias. He was hated before he was fired, now, he is a god or something?

Who is this Jeff that everybody talks about? I'm guessing that he's some sort of terrorist though judging by the name of the website.

:o Oh my God. I browsed the website and he posted videos of how to build a bomb. I hope the feds bust his ass :evil:

onally i would come to GS more for the entertainment of each editor's personality and the overall atmosphere the site had. (e3 the past 2 years were great to watch live). Reviews are one thing but honestly, wouldn't rely on one site for reviews, I just enjoy hearing someone elses opinion. GS just doesn't feel the same and I get a sense of how they are struggling to be the site it was a year ago. I'm not saying giantbomb.com is the be all/end all site to go to but when I go there I get a sense of what things use to be like here at GS. I am by no means some kind of apostle of Jeffs I just enjoyed his interactions with Ryan and their take on things.

It's all about perception. GS is just as useful to me now as it's ever been. I still trust their reviews, and I get amused by the forums from time to time (but please cut down on religion threads people, alright?). VanOrd is nowhere near as bad as people make him out to be.

So I have no reason to leave GS, or to follow some obese gamer who's somehow become a god in many people's minds. Sure, I didn't mind Gerstmann's reviews (except for his atrocious K&L review). He can write and express himself pretty well. But to talk about him like he's some sort of a deity is slightly distasteful to my sensibilities. I did check out GiantBomb, and it seems like nothing special. I'll go there for reviews occassionaly, but that's about it.

GS has been good to me, so GS shall remain my main source of gaming related stuff (along with Eurogamer, which has really good reviews)...
