Sadly, they won't. To many, it's just a meaningless wall of text. To some, it actually makes sense... And to many who read it, they'll just ignore it to suit their own needs...

Yes, the biological need of console bashing... It's practiacally down to a science...

I think this is the thing most people should check out:

8.0-8.5: Great This range refers to great games that are excellent in almost every way and whose few setbacks probably aren't too important. We highly recommend games in the upper half of this range, since they tend to be good enough to provide an enjoyable experience to fans of the particular genre and to new players alike.

I'm quite sick of all of this whining.

Review scores are opinions. Gamespot is entitled to theirs, no matter how far it varies from the majority.

I generally don't agree with Gamespot reviews, but to bash someone for having an opinion about a game that the majority of you have not played is totally ridiculous. Just use another review source, or better yet, read the actualy content of the review rather than just glancing at the number.

Honestly, does this number assigned to a game by a complete stranger make this game any more or less enjoyable to you? It shouldn't. He was offering his views on the game.

You're all taking this hype/flop thing too seriously. It supposed to be for fun, yet we see sheep with account suicides and the other fanboys running wild.

What Wario Ware does well, it does better than all the other games in it's genre. Those of which are looking for a mini game compilation would best choose Wario Ware above the other games. As well, there is a lot of competition in the shooter category, and it greatly raises the bar in terms of expectations as well as the fact that it is a sequel.

Also everybody remember, reviews are nothing more than guidelines to guide us when purchasing games. Never take the score to seriously.

Reviews are nothing more than a review of a product. They are an overview of what you get plus some of the reviewers personal opinion. Some are better than others. Generally Gamespot, IGN, and 1up do very non biased and opinion based reviews. Score means a lot less than the actually review itself. These reviews are nothing more than guides to help us the consumers make better purchasing decisions. They warn us of broken, crappy games. They also tell us what a game has to offer.

Don't use the score alone when deciding to purchase a game. I love the Dynasty Warriors series. They constantly get lower scores, that doesn't stop me from playing them. I enjoy them just as much as I enjoy a lot of AAA games. I use the review not for the score but for info on what the game does better than its predecessors. That is how you should look at a review.

The score of the game is the most opinion based part. Disagreeing with the score is alright, but getting worked up over a score is pointless. A score is nothing more than a number to help aid the review. If you don't agree with the score, read the review and learn about the game, then play it yourself if you are still interested in the game and make up your own score.

Getting worked up over a lower score is rather pointless. They are just opinions. Everybody's is different.

I pretty much agree with Wasdie's whole paragraph. The quote is the most important part for me.

I love the Dynasty Warriors series. They constantly get lower scores, that doesn't stop me from playing them. I enjoy them just as much as I enjoy a lot of AAA games. Wasdie

For instance, Gitaroo-Man is one of my favorite games of all time, but I get how it may not appeal to everybody. It was rated AA, and I'm totally fine with that. Getting as angry as people are about a review of a game is (plain and simple) dumb.

I am with you on that one. The first one bored me to death. The 2d ones on the GBA were far superior.

Maybe we should just go to a thumbs up-thumbs down review system. Claiming floppage for great games is getting rather old and it will only get worse from here on with the big releases for all consoles coming.

Can we stop the hype threads, and go on with real discussion?

i wouldn't even go and hype any games anymore, expecially on a PS3 or Nintendo platform. go ahead hype all the 360 games i'm sure those will meet hype for some odd reason. i guess great Companys like Retro , Nintendo and Sony Computer arn't good devs, the best devs are all the Ubisoft and Newer American Devs 360's got... NOT.

I love the irony of people getting mad at sheep who hate gamespot for flopping MP3.

They say, it's their opinion, don't hate them for having an opinion.

Obviously it's not for having an opinion, it's for what opinion they decide to have.

I hate bigots. Why? Because they are of the opinion that black people or women are worse than white men. Do I not have the right to hate their opinion? Is that not my right to have that opinion?

Obviously that is an extreme example, but my point stands. If sheep (or anyone) wants to be angry with gamespot for flopping a game thatthe vast majority of gamerswill consider to be a AAA game and accuse gamespot for not being able to fully appreciate the game then why shouldn't they have that right?

People have the right togive their opinion onwhat they think is a poor review just as much as gamespot has the right to give their opinion on what they think is a good, bad, or great game.
