No It's guaranteed to get a 9 maybe 9.5 but that's it.

They gave GTA4 a 10. They gave MGS4 a 10. I'd say GS is capable of anything, now.

This is lemminSpot, which has a history of corruption (google Kane and Lynch GameSpot incident for those that don't know what I'm talking about) So of course one of Microsoft's only big exclusives is going to get a perfect score on here regardless of anything. While every ps3 exclusive under the sun will score an 8.5 or lower regardless of how great of a game it may have been. To keep the 360 delusion alive

No. GS doesn't give out 10s, even when it's paid to.

Asking whether Gears 3( a "Microsoft exclusive")will score highly with the gaming "media" . Is like asking whether Nazis will praise Hitler or not

A chance? Yes. A good one? Probably not.

I'm guessing a 9.5 for the game.

Granted, I disagreed with the Infamous 2 review, but that was personal taste.

But there's no evidence suggesting Gamespot is corrupt. Seriously. The 360 doesn't have an AAAAE, the PS3 does. Plus 2 PS3 exclusives won Game of the Year here. So where this bias conspiracy comes from is just confusing.

MGS4 scored a 10... I'm pretty sure that it falls "...under the sun..."

8.5 - 9.0 Story telling has never been gears strong play. I'm guessing that 3 will have a dissatisfying ending, or weak plot all the way through, just like 1 & 2, so they will take points off for that. they always take points off for weak stories.

If Infamous 2 can get a 7.5 while a Gears 3 gets a 9+ then you'll know how corrupt GameSpot is

Right, yet MGS4 with its disjointed storyline and uneven graphical textures somehow got a 10. You're right, GS is corrupt, in favor of ps3.

The girl that wrote the Gears of War books is writing the story for Gears of War 3, so it has potential. Of course that doesn't guarantee anything, I'm just saying that it might end up being great. We'll find out soon enough :)

I wouldn't say they are corrupt on either front, its more that they're just inconsistent

I doubt it. I'd say it's more likely to get a perfect 8.5 than a 10, but it'll probably be 9 or 9.5.

A quality writer behind the story doesn't necessarily raise the chances of the story being better. Raises hopes, is all. For all we know, she could've panicked and turned in the first thing she wrote, for better or worse.

Nope - but no issue to me. Game looks incredible, I'll be having fun with it regardless. Having played the beta, I couldn't care less if the game got a 6.

I know. Case in point: Homefront. I'm just pointing out that it has a bit of hope this time around. Not that I personally care, as most of my time will be spent playing Horde with my friends. But if our campaign run is backed with a good story this time I won't complain.

It isn't really presented well either, no cutscene should ever take 2 hours long.

Maybe it does have a few things going for it.

- Best looking game on console

- Great gameplay

- Best 3rd person MP on the market

I've seen all of the game....spoiler...dom dies and so does Marcus' dad....

So I found the graphics INSANELY over rated. After watching the game, I'm definitely not going to be buying it, although to be fair I hated Gears 2 and Gears 3 is very similar

You mean the leaked build? The pre-alpha, it didn't even have shadows. My friend told me that it was unbelievably fun though. Also, great job posting spoilers. Thank God nothing in the leaked build is canon after act 1. Edit: By the way, the person who posted Gridlock has the game early and played through the full campaign. I asked him shortly after what he thought of it, he though it was a 11/10.

Shakes head at you Just go ahead and google the kane and Lynch incident. For something like that to happen says it all. There is no way to say for certainty what's is exactly happening, but there is no doubt that there have been gaming media corruption and bias in the past So Microsoft being one of the biggest culprits and being the shady company they are, can't you see how they'd pay off websites. The fact that ps3 exclusives get so harshly reviewed while microsoft exclusives don't ever receive the same type of harsh criticism from the media is down right suspicious in its own right. Its can't be one big coincidence. So.it does make you wonder

I have a 360 and still don't want to get Gears 3. It looks like garbage, so what, that's my honest opinion. I don't fall for fanboy hype and will call the games how I see it

So I found the graphics INSANELY over rated. Make sure you put the spoiler tag, like I said. Nothing is canon after act one. The game was in pre-alpha. You're literally the only one to judge it even so that I've seen. Me and my friends got together and played the leaked, it was fantastic. The game play was extremely satisfying and it's an absolute day 1 buy. Act 4-5 weren't even on it unless you modified the code. And barely anyone had those particular levels on you tube. Any thing above act 1 was hopelessly and abysmally bugged. After watching the game, I'm definitely not going to be buying it, although to be fair I hated Gears 2 and Gears 3 is very similar

Yeah, the game revieved that score like 20 years ago. How have ps3 exclusives been reviewed lately? Only a ps3 exclusive can get docked points for its screen going dark.when you get hit. And only a ps3 exclusive can get points docked for it not being the super super revolutionary game of the future While a Microsoft exclusive will have significant flaws that are displayed and often over looked. Infamous 2 gets a 7.5 while garbage games like Halo ODST and Fable 2 get 9+? Yeah, that seems legit *rolls eyes*

Oh, i'm sorry. I should have known you'd come up with a ridiculously arbitrary limitation to try and give your argument credence. It got a 10, a AAAAE, which the 360 has yet to achieve = poo poo all over your original point.

How about the fact that Demon's Souls also won GOTY on this very site? Or that Uncharted 2 received a 9.5? A score higher than your 8.5 that supposedly PS3 exclusives consistently score lower than?
