PDZ deserved a 7.4.

Dead Rising deserved a 9.0

RFOm deserved a 9.0

MGS3 deserved a 9.6

Zelda TP deserved a 9.6

Call of duty 2 deserved a 9.0

nextgengaming18

Can't argue with this.  How PDZ scored higher than all those games I will never know.  Gamespot really lost some credibility with that review.

[QUOTE="StarFoxCOM"]

MK64 6.2

Diddy Kong raceing 6.4

Majora's MAAAAAASK

PDZ 9.0

Killzone 6.8

All of those are not a good score

Shirley_Temple

My opinion.



yea it probably deserves better, but in ur sig u state its art....and TP was fan-servicy, and i agree, TP was fan servicy....but wind waker is more art than majora's mask will ever be.

Ooh, this is tough, because I've come to appreciate Gamespot's unorthodoxy and thus can only think of reviews that gave proper credit to underappreciated games (FFVIII, YIDS, etc.). But I do think that Gamespot has a noticeable bias towards PC games (look on Wikipedia; for the longest time, PC games won Game of the Year over console games that got higher scores on the site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamespot#Best_and_Worst).

Twlight Princess (seriously not AAA?) Contact (I know this is a love it or hate it game but 6.5? Really come on now!) Mario Kart 64 (6.4, where they trying to be creative with this you know 6.4, 64???) Conker's Bad Fur Day (Only IGN got this review right, this was possibly is THE greatest game ever, hell they released a Xbox port a year and a half ago with just updated graphics and WORSE controls and WORSE loading times and WORSE dialog and it still managed to score AA, imagine how good it was 6 years ago!)

Twighlight Princess wasn't WAY off the mark, but it should have atleast gotten 9.1-9.2. PDZ was a piece of trash. Jade Empire needed to be rated way higher(8.6), it definitley should have gotten atleast a 9 that was an awesome game. Mario Kart was awesome too.

IMHO it should have gotten a 6.3-7.6. Seriously you couldn't SEE anything therefore made the strategy more shoot and run, instead of hide and stealth kill. Luckily Kojima changed this with MGS3:S which IMHO was one of the best games last gen.

[QUOTE="ManWithDaPlan"][QUOTE="Rob2223"][QUOTE="ManWithDaPlan"][QUOTE="Rob2223"][QUOTE="ManWithDaPlan"][QUOTE="Rob2223"][QUOTE="Hammerofjustice"] i have never played Gears of War.
Hammerofjustice


translated.




First off, translating would imply it was in a different language. Secondly, I can't imagine how productive it is to accuse someone of lying just because they have a different opinion. Believe it or not, some people don't think it is god's gift to video gaming but that doesn't mean they are bashing it.



if you werent a noob, you'd know he was a known fanboy on gamespot forums, it was in a different language, FANBOY language. do not "try" to correct me.



I'm sorry I can't spend every second of my life researching people's posting history. I can't have the envied position of a professional opinion giver. But that doesn't change the fact that you're being fanboyesque as well, implying that someone who doesn't think Gears of War is the best thing ever hasn't played it. I wouldn't care if you did either, if you would let people have a different opinion without hostility.



no this Fanboy, has never played Gears, simple as that. i did not say anyone who doesnt like it has never played it.



If he has explicitly said so, then I apollogize, however I wouldn't suggest such things unless I was positively sure.

i have beat gears on insane mode.

may i see your gamertag?

that's what i mean. Subsistence was great with the new camera angle and the MP was fun for a bit.

Shadow of the Colossus should have gotten a AAA. Both Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Double Dash should have gotten a AA.

Legend of Dragoon (much better than 6.4)

Shenmue, obviously

PDZ (deserved much lower)

Wild Arms 2 (was better than the first, at least an 8 )

Syphon Filter 2 (wasn't nearly as bad as they say it was)

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (W...T...F...)

Deus Ex (should have been AAA)

Super Smash Bros. (definitely not a 7 game)

Okami, Resistance, EU3, Medieval 2, and NWN 2 all deserved higher scores.

Oblivion, GTA:SA, Gears of War, and Final Fantasy VII have all been over-scored and should have lower scores.  The reasons I feel this way about over-scored games are these:

Oblivion:  World lost it's mystic feel compared to previous games and the world seemed a lot smaller than TES3 even though it wasn't.  The game was also very repetitive.  I would rescore its 8.5 - 9.0.

GTA:SA:  GTA games are fun for a few minutes and thats it.  SA was a big world but it was a boring world.  I would rescore it 7.5 - 8.3

Gears: Graphics should NEVER EVER trump gameplay.  The cover system is ages old and the best part of the game is the laughable AI.  I would rescore it 8.8 - 9.3

Final Fantasy VII:  One of the best FF games but not as fun as IX or VI.  I'd rescore it a flat 9.0

Lumines

Marvel Vs Capcom 2 (DC)

MK64

Guitar Hero 2 and 3 (they were to high)

Zone of the Enders 2 (why didnt this game score higher?)
