That's not the "real" review. That's comedy too. They dont do "real" reviews. All of their reviews are just funny write-ups of games.

I'm amazed so many people took this seriously.

its not a real review but its like a semi real review they actually really liked the game

[QUOTE="MADVLAD123"]Did he just say the story is about a man named Andrew Ryan? And that they crash in the Caribbean? He definately hasn't played this game....Ninja-Vox

Or for the billionth time - it's a comedy site.

I know it's a comedy site. The review on the other hand isn't funny.

So you know the review is intended as comedy and isn't serious? Why did you say "he definately hasn't played this game..." after he gave a completely bogus plot summary then?

Of course they love the game. There's an article on the front page called "BioShock fever!" full of staff dressing up as Big Daddies.

As someone else linked to it http://www.somethingawful.com/d/truth-media-flames/index.php, they make these reviews to get flamed and then post the flames.

I'm not sure I get what you're trying to say, allow me to criticise the article based on the logical fallacies it presents......

It was supposed to be sarcasm :oops:

I guess it's mandatory to put /sarcasm or :roll: in a sarcastic statement or else the sentence would be misinterpreted. My bad.

Most retardedly biased review ever. If they are hoping for a PS3 version in the spring, they are even dumber then they make themselves out to be.

Wow. :|

Logical fallacies? Yes. He got it wrong. In no way did he write it intentionally to annoy fanboys as it's a COMEDY ARTICLE.

Hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey.......hey. Guys.

Deary me. These people sure think highly of y'all.

MADVLAD123

I suspect you simply fell for it and dont want to admit it. :P But i'll let it slide. No big deal.

The number of people who cant detect such an obvious joke is amazing though. Can you believe all these guys? And i agree that the Halo 2 review is one of the best.

I was being ironic and playing on your frustrations, dude. Note the ';)'. I'm quite fond of SomethingAwful, I go there to find me some horrible games/movies to download for laughs. Happy to see the TruthMedia section pulled out of retirement, in any case.

I didn't like the Bioshock review since some of their complaints were...weak. Not ridiculous. For example in halo 2, their complaint for co op was that it was splitscreen (which could have been changed) and that the maps were the same from Halo but with different names.

I like the over the top and ridiculous reviews. The ones with just "weak" arguements aren't funny. I don't like em. Although the story element and how they confused it with Andrew Ryan was pretty funny.

Yes, yes you were intentionally "playing on my frustrations."

Chalk up Jagazaar as another person who fell for it and cant admit it. :roll:

"I was just pretending to take it seriously!!11"

lolk. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Was trying to share the joke, but hey, have fun with the elitism and all. Internet is serious business, eh?

"Truth Media seeks to lure out the brainless zealots mindlessly spewing words about faceless companies and products they have no relation to. Why do folks get so worked up over such inconsequential things? Truth Media is here, not to discover the answer to this, but just to make fun of them." -The site itself, in the "About this column section on the right".

You all fell for it.

Game_Addict247

OK THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY ALL SO INSTEAD OF TAKING IT SERIOUSLY YOU'D KNOW IT'S A JOKE SITE.

Good lord; could the TC please edit your post to point out to people that it's a JOKE REVIEWintended to annoy fanboys, like all of their reviews are?

The number of people missing the joke is amazing. I assume because they didn't actually read the review or aren't familiar with SomethingAwful.com

Ninja-Vox

"This game, quite simply, is dark. It makes Doom 3 look like Kameo. Darkness does not automatically give a game creepy atmosphere. It's just a crutch to hide lazy art direction. At least Doom 3 equipped the player with a flashlight. While the initial areas were amazing to look at, I had trouble navigating the dark generic hallways that were so persistent in the later stages. As the story progresses you'll find yourself crawling through pitch black air ducts that you've seen time and time again in better titles."

ouch thats what i gotta say

ParadiddleFill

Shoo fakeboy.

the fake review was specifically in response to all the people saying GS's score of 9.0 was BS and just for attention

"Next, Truth Media comes out of retirement to bait insane BioShock fans with this terribly inaccurate fake review. When I saw how some Something Awful Forums Games posters reacted when Gamespot gave BioShock a 9.0 I wondered, how would even dumber posters react when they read a review that gave the game a 7.5? Since you don't have a girlfriend or responsibilities or anything, your job is to casually post a link to this review where the most insane BioShock and PC devotees congregate"

http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/bioshock-fever.php

And just from reading this thread it seems they were right...people would go crazy over the fake review

Well I fell for it. But only because I didn't see anything funny on there. And now knowing its a comedy site I still don't.:?

Maybe if it was more funny more people would get the supposed joke. :P

Poor poor cows its really getting sad now isn't it.

Are you one of these people who gets really upset and defensive whenever somebody says something you dont like? I'm not flaming, i'm just asking.

Calm down. :?

OMG guys are you retarded? ... you never take something awful seriously

"...until the superior PlayStation 3"

Shame. You would have got the joke had you kept going....

wow, 9 pages in and some people still don't get it, "Its a Joke!"

hehehe you have to turned down the difficulty because aiming is harder on the PC. hehehe. Brilliant.Drizzt13

Yet some people would actually read that and think "wow this guy's an idiot!" - can you believe that? :? :P

Well then why not write a real review with valid points, without so many mistakes and give it a 8.9 to piss the fanboys off? If it's so full of mistakes and reads like a PS3 fanboy reader review any comments about it being a BS review are valid. If its a good review with a lesser score that fanboys go crazy over, then yeah it's funny. But how can this make fun of rabid fan boy behavior when all their comments are valid thanks to the stupidity of the review?

So yeah I don't see "teh funnay". I get what they were trying, they just failed thanks to the stupidity of the review itself.

Again, if it had been a good review with a low score at the end to see what the fanboys would do it would be funny. But like this? not so much.

*sigh*

Something Awful is a comedy site. They frequently do reviews whereby they do nothing but complain about AAA games, and write up reviews of bad games as if they're AAA must-haves.

Ninja-Vox

Right. Kinda like The Onion.

The point is that its supposed to be obvious that the review is a joke. Why are people still bothering to mock something that is so clearly false? If the review (the fact that it's coming from a site called SomethingAwful.com should already tip people off) doesn't even bother to get the story facts that you could learn from the manual, why take it seriously enough to write an elaborate criticism of the factual mistakes?
