Their reviews have been...off. For this gen that is. I am mainly focusing on the review for Gears of War. Now, we all know that Gamespot basically treats a 9.6 as if they are giving a perfect 10. It just doesn't happen, and if it does then it usually goes to games that actually deserve it. I played both Gears of War and Resistance thoroughly and I have to say that neither game deserves an AAA score. They are both generic except Resistance was well thought out and Gears just wasn't. If they are both generic and really aren't that great, then what makes Gears of War a 9.6? What makes it one of the greatest games of all time? Nothing, because it doesn't. Games like that don't get such high ratings from Gamespot.
I mean, Gears of War's review contradicts what they said about Zelda:TP. There is nothing new about it and it doesn't do that much to make itself unique. So what's with the 9.6? What did the game do for them to give it such a score? The Gamespot staff really can't answer that and I bet none of you can who agree with the score. I know, you are thinking wow another complainer about the scores, but it is more than that. It is the first time I do not agree with Gamespot about a game they gave 9.5+ . Usually I trust their judgment when they score it so high and I go buy the game and usually I agree...but this time I think they are waaay off. I only own a 360 but even I can admit that the game was nowhere near a 9.6. So is there another 360 owner who thinks the score was way too high or is it just me?
I can't believe I read you entire post of nonsense. If you can't see the brilliance of Gears and choose to pick it apart, then that's your discretion. The action, the gameplay, the graphics, the environments, the one-liners, the characters, the level design, the enemies, the AI, the feeling like you are a bad-ass, the varied elements, Krill, Wretches, car sequence, above ground versus underground, the chainsaw - the freakin' chainsaw!, the torque bow, the Hammer of Freakin' Dawn, the Seeders, the Theron Guard (badasses), the emergence holes popping open around you, the awesome music, and THE BEST MULTIPLAYER EXPERIENCE. If you fail to see all of this as pure gaming bliss, then go off and play a DS or something. Man, you guys with trying to rip into Gears, I just don't get it. To each their own...

While you're entitled to your opinions of course, most of the gaming public and media disagree with you. It doesn't look like anything is going to change your mind, but Gears is a great game. Deal with it.

yes it hasnt done anything new, but it did everything right.tacomh
EXACTLY So many people list it as 'just another shooter'...well so what it kicks the hell out of everything else that's been released as of late. The countless awards it's won, its vast fanbase and praise from critics prove it is seen by many to be amazing, if you don't like it then fine but saying it is mediocre is your opinion, not fact.
i agree gears of war is terribley overated, i had more fun with friends playing wii sports than gears :?, i think we have to start adding 1 extra point to wii games seeing as how gamespot can't rate them properly

Gears is Generic... how? Because you use a gun and play a soldier? Frankly, the gameplay experience is rather fresh compared to most other shooters out there. On what are you basing Gears being ill-tought out? On that it's short?
I'll tell you this: It's the single most fun shooter I played that was released last year, and holds its own on an all-time scale (though HL, Halo and others do kick it's posterior).
I mean, Gears of War's review contradicts what they said about Zelda:TP. There is nothing new about it and it doesn't do that much to make itself unique. So what's with the 9.6? What did the game do for them to give it such a score?Mudig
Nothing new? I found the cover system in and of itself to be enough of an improvement (killswitch notwithstanding) over the normal gameplay aspect, and the gameplay is not quite the same as every other shooter.
Is Gears a 9.6? I'm not too sure. I did get more than enough fun out of it, and it is undoubtely a AAA game, if you take the whole experience into account. I might have given it a slightly lower score had it been me reviewing, but 9.6 is well within the margin of error and opinion difference between me and another person.

You're entitled to your opinion, but saying almost everyone is wrong with theirs of Gears is: 1.) Just trying to seek attention from a half year old topic. There's better things to do to get attention in this forum. 2.) Hypocritical.
Your argument that Gears is generic doesn't hold water with me. But I guess, it's just your opinion, or perhaps you've been playing tons of 3rd person shooters with the same type of cover system, group dynamic, and atmosphere. I haven't played a ton of games that fit that description, so it was pretty fresh for me. I haven't played Resistance, so I can't comment.

The "generic" argument is incredibly weak and overused, especially when people throw it out there with nothing to back it up. It's almost as bad as "jumped the shark" in reference to television shows. Fanboys are rarely original though, so what can you expect?
The cover system and active reload are very new. The over the shoulder prospective in the context of a pure action game is new. It does a lot of new things.

Multiplayer for Gears may not have been a top priority for Epic, but to say the Single player experience and Co-op wasn't well thought out? The game was PLANNED as a co-op game. The single player game itself primarily focus' on the having a someone else playing. Everything about the campaign was well thought out. Do i think it is a 9.6 game? No, but it is certainly a AAA game in my opinion. Not many games warrant a 2nd or third play through from me, but Gears has gotten multiple play throughs. Not even Halo 2 got a 2nd play through from me. As for the multiplayer, despite it being lackluster, it is still quite entertaining. The low player count and cover system make for a far more engaging experience than a straight up twitch death match, and I know my twitch games.

Exactly. And the fact that is does these new things, and keeps a high standard in other areas (sound, music, graphics, control, AI/difficulty, replay value, fun factor, etc) is what makes it such a highly acclaimed game.

You people wrong and are clueless of what I'm trying to say. I'm saying that Gamespot's review does not add up for this game. You guys obviously couldn't give me an answer worth reading. All I heard was, "omg, Gears is not generic, you can take cover how cool is that?!" Also, this thread wasn't about me not liking this game, so you can take that "your entitled to your opinion" crap out. This was about gamespot's ridiculously high score that didn't make sense.

Then check other websites and look at all the high scores it has got. Plus look at the awards it has recieved.
I agree on gears being a tad overrated. Also the multiplayer was IMHO straightforward crap. I think rainbow six vegas is a lot better. I've spoken to a lot of people having played both games online, and only one of those persons said that gears online was better, but then again that's the same person who starts to spastically rap mid-game. Gears of war multiplayer is actually barely a shooter anymore. I've played enough online to learn the art of shotgunning people down and pistol meeleeing. It's just all about that. I've tried a lot to pull off normal kills with lancer and that kind of thing, but it's just inferior to the shotgun.
Next to that, rainbow six singleplayer is also a tad better in my opinion. It's much more of a challenge, and the atmosphere is at least as good as gears. The gameplay then drags it past gears. Also it is of decent length. Not like the measly campaign of gears. (Well, it takes quite some time to finish it, but compared to rainbow six it's nothing)

In that case you can take this tread to IGN or any other site and make the same complaint. Why do you hold Gamespot in such hi regard. Besides, Sheep and Cows were up in arms over RFOM and Zelda not getting AAA status. Ask them how they feel about gamespots reviews and they will tell you they are too tough.

I stopped reading @ "the feeling like you are a bad-ass" LMAO. did u really feel like a bad ass hiding behind rocks almost all the time? HAHAHAHA damn I swear for some guys that look bad ass, I never felt like I was a bad ass once in the game but felt more like if I dont duck and cover behind these rocks I am screwed, so its basically how the game was created, use the rocks to take cover or get owned. Anyways it was a good game but I didnt see nuttin new about it, Killswitch anybody? Till den game on.Â
