What there to discuss, I dont think there was enough people interested in the game to begin with.

meh... game doesnt interest me.... and after the 7.5 review it doesn't really entice me to learn any more about the game.... it's just one of those so-so games that I will never play.

Oh well, Dark Sector = R&C: ToD. I guess that's not a bad thing, especially after R&C was hyped more. I blogged about Dark Sector and it's coolness, btw.;)

Again we see the the blatant inconsistancy of Gamespot.

Oh hey there gears of war, we think your 0.4 away from perfection, regardless of all your bugs, your non-existant story, and severely lacking online multiplayer!

Ew darksector, crappy story. 7.5.

At least put something else in the bad section.

I HATE GS REVIEWS!!!!

Haha, that's how I feel.

Dark Sector is amazing thus far. I'm absolutely loving the crap out of it. I find it funny that these "professional reviewer's" bashed Dark Sector and gave Gears of War a free pass. When they reviewed Gears of War, they didn't talk about how awful and convoluted the story was. They didn't talk about the one dimensional characters. They didn't talk about the little bugs that plagued the single player and multiplayer. Yet they bash Dark Sector for everything that was wrong in Gears of War. Now don't get me wrong, I loved Gears of War, much like I am loving Dark Sector so far, but they seemed to be too easy on Gears of War. I guess hype and a fat check made them oversee the flaws...

Meh, I was interested in it, but if it has a bad story, then I'm not going to bother. For me, I need some sort of compelling reason to kill things.

Standars change!

maybe if gears had comment out today it would have had its score lowered! Does the score make the game any less fun for you?

Which is why Perfect Dark Zero got 9.0 when it came out a year after HalfLife 2, which only got a 9.2.

I'll say it again -- Gamespot is a Joke

Nope. I don't care about scores, but I do care about the inconsistency in reviews. Also, things I commented on in the post you quoted, those things don't change. The story was always "meh", the characters were always one dimensional, the texture pop-ins always existed.

The texture pop-ins on Gears were really annoying. The game felt like an unfinished tech demo.

Gamespot forums = Good
Gamespot reviews = Moronic and useless

Since we're on the forums, and not on the review comment section, it seems all is well.

I have to agree. The online experience is a real turnoff for me right now because of the unbalances in certain weapons (snipers) and bugs.

This game isnt bad, but I'm not paying $59.99 for a C+ through B rated game. I'll pick it up when I can find it for $40 or less, like I did with Condemned 2.

Lol. Just as I thought. Not worth a buy, unless youre a fan of an new IP with nearly the only hype about it being a recreation of what was one of (if not hte first) next gen title revealed.

Its a FLOP in my eyes.

I want to try this game, I loved Gears and it seems like it's similar. It's also good to see that it got the "good boss battles" emblem.

I don't care, Dark Sector will still owns :D.

Gears of War 9.6 and DS couldn't get at least 8.0 :(? Is online co-op really that important these days?
