Sure, I have been a long time GS user, and I'm not saying GS sucks or that GT is a thousand times better than GS. But I watch all my gaming vids there since it's in HD and decided to make an account yesterday and already I've found some major ups.

- HD videos

- You can buy actual games and game accesories using GTD's

- Interface is cooler

- Rules aren't as strict ie. You can swear

I will eventually find some more, but for now thats it. Once again I'm not saying GS sucks, in fact I still am, and for a long time will be, a proud GS user.

By the way GT stands for Gametrailers.com, check it out.

Reviews are useless. It's once again all a matter of taste. and srsly, I don't trust GS on reviews since Jeff was fired and since they gave 10/10 on both GTAIV and MGS4

HD videos are on GameSpot. I don't see the point though, unless you're wanting to watch these short clips on your TV. >_> I buy games from Amazon. Why use a review site? GS looks nicer in my opinion. Swearing? Yeah, that's really... something.

Only paying memebers of GS get HD videos, those with free accounts get the low rez stuff, that's why I use GT for videos and GS for forums.

I come here to OT. GT doesn't have this OT. So for that reason GS > GT.:)

I choose to watch the low res stuff anyway. It's quicker to stream.

GTD's are nice in theory, but just about everything that is worth getting is sold out...all the time. The videos there are a lot better, and they have better exclusive videos, such as the Gears 2 stuff (level flythroughs) and I love the Screw Attack stuff. Their articles suck though.

Yeah but it should be a crime to watch the new Gears 2 trailer in low rez. I just love the high rez stuff it looks so good. :P

I have to agree with the whole GT video GS forum thing. I feel that GT isn't as forum based as GS, they're more video based.

I don't care about any of those things, and I'm actually kinda happy swearing is kind of watched on GS. Those other forums are a mess.

Besides, Gamespot has OT and Unions, basically the only things I check out nowadays.

This thread really got bumped.
Since I don't play games anymore, I only come to GS for OT. With games out of the equation, I don't see much of a reason for me to go to GT.

I thought that by GT you meant Gametalk. And I was about to go on a rant. Because GT, although my first foray into the world of forums, is bad. As any of the two of you out there who know the site I am referring to will know.

Gamespot has the best forums out of all of them imo. Content wise, I don't look at anything here outside of the news sections, and 90% of the time the forums post it first.

Their forums are far too lawless. Complete lack of any real moderation is far worse than too much moderation, imo.

I hear that in the GT boards if you don't swear you're considered 'uncool' and you risk being sacrificed to pagan gods. I also hear that some of the more respected users there are actually accounts run by children in sweatshops.

I hear that Jeff made a pact with the devil where he traded his soul in order to achieve success with his own site, but he also promised him the souls of all users of said site :(

GT forums is a breeding ground for trolls. Here, we have SW to filter it out. GS>GT.

Old topic, but for fun:

- HD videos I agree

- You can buy actual games and game accesories using GTD's Ok, what?

- Interface is cooler Subjective

- Rules aren't as strict ie. You can swear Swearing is good, but that freedom leads to more trouble that does more harm than good

Also, I can't stand Giant Bomb...

Gametrailers, what a waste of nearly 2 years for me.

In my opinion tbe Gamespot community is so much more grown up than the one over there, nothing is ever taken seriously there, every thread gets the same boring meme related replies, every mod is on a constant powertrip,

Just because the rules are more relaxed over there. it doesn't make it a better place.

Their videos are nice, but man, the site is terribly designed. The forums are ass too, and have a cumulative IQ equivalent to IGN's forums. In terms of sites better than Gamespot in terms of their community, I'd put NeoGaf up there. Some of the smaller sites (like Idle Thumbs) are nice too, but too small to have the same feel.

I also love how he actually said you can actually buy games and such using their "reward" system. I was there for over 2 years, did everything to max out my GTD/GTP for the day and I still didn't have enough to claim a game. It's quite the con, unless you fancy waiting 3 years or so for a game. xD

It's also the only site I know where the admim/staff openly give other users information on your IP. It happened to me twice.

I don't know, the 7-day rule for bumping in OT has been known for a long time.:?
