[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] just as many websites are biased to the ps3. *cough*ign*cough*

If someone makes a similar statistics analysis for IGN and it shows that then I'll have no problem accepting it. I remember someone did it for GS and it showed its 360 bias too. Not as marked as Edge but it was there. Makes sense since M$ has the most money to spend on such things.

dont need stats. the two head editors on the ps3 side are giant ps3 fanboys and they have a video segment called playstation conversation

Cause a with a segment called xbox conversation there would be nothing to talk about. Nogames360. :cool:

Well according to lems there were a lot of items that didn't align with the Edge theory either and look at it now lol. For there to be a significant bias doesn't mean there are no exceptions.

Kind of like how you and all the other lems ignored how blatantly obvious it was EDGE was bias and corrupt. Look how that turned out.

Wonder how much sony had to pay to get articles written saying cell would be powerful? Must have cost them a small fortune, no wonder they're so broke and shutting down divisions and laying off workers.

This really shouldn't be surprising at all, but some delusional people out there think that just because you put 'reviewer' in your title, you're suddenly immune to all influences.

uhmmm they get paid from somewhere so it's obvious this happens. They're meant to advertise the games they review whether is giving them a good score or not. How else would they get money ? the ads on a site are not enough.

I would do it, too. Who cares about integrity for freaking entertainment? It doesn't mean ANYTHING. It's not like the government is lying about their super-secret laboratories where they conduct Nazi-like experiments. It's stupid and means nothing. Plus, it would not change many peoples' minds. Grand Theft Auto IV would have still probably done really well.

and the sad thing is the same people will still be in SW arguing over "we have more quality AAA exclusives". This whole thing pretty much makes that argument dull and void seeing now none of the reviews can really be trusted

"Future Publishing had a writer get drunk and leak the fact that they basically do whatever game publishers want, for a price, including paid scores and paid covers.This **** is big, and if this is widespread, Kotaku/IGN/Gamespot will probably be exposed too." Where did that quote come from? And lol @ those taking a drunk guy posting on twitter as a grand conspiracy against Sony, do you think they don't do the same as all the others. I mean imagine if you had a game that got a bunch of 10's because reviewers weren't allowed to review the bad parts of a game! :lol:

Even if this were true it's not like people don't know this already. Everything in the media, even games, is fake. Just look at some reviews of games like MGS4 here or Uncharted 3 at IGN and it's nothing but gushing instead of honest criticism.

seanmcloughlin

I guess some people don't know it already i.e. the people going soley by what scores say to determine whether they will like a game or not.

We should just be done with scoring games altogether, it's absolutely meaningless.

IGN are the absolute worst of the bunch. Seeing them gush over NCAA or madden every year is down right ridiculous.

IGN the reviews are obviously bought and paid for too though, not just the score as has been alledged against Edge.

Even if this were true it's not like people don't know this already. Everything in the media, even games, is fake. Just look at some reviews of games like MGS4 here or Uncharted 3 at IGN and it's nothing but gushing instead of honest criticism.

IGN are the absolute worst of the bunch. Seeing them gush over NCAA or madden every year is down right ridiculous.

Their fanbase/viewers are even worse: crying murder when a game doesn't score a 9.0.

I'm sorry but if a game needs to get a 9.0 for you to enjoy it than you are doing it wrong.

[QUOTE="sts106mat"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] And lol @ those taking a drunk guy posting on twitter as a grand conspiracy against Sony, do you think they don't do the same as all the others. I mean imagine if you had a game that got a bunch of 10's because reviewers weren't allowed to review the bad parts of a game! :lol:

bingo, swings both ways

The other part of the conspiracy of anyone vs metacritic, is that you have a bunch of PS mags and review sites that score any junk really highly so metacritic will always be slanted high by those sites.

I like that GS reviews harder but at the end of the day review scores mean nothing to me outside of the SW metagame. Hardly any of my fav games this gen have scored AAA and I think most of those that do are WAY overrated.

EDIT reviews do sway a bit to maybe grab a game at launch or leave it for a sale or get a game I hadn't heard of, but its the meat of the review rather than the score that peak my interest and then seeing what others think of it.
