Question for sheep: Is GS credible again or not?

[QUOTE="mistervengeance"]

dude 8.8 is not unfair for twilight princess

what is unfair is 7.5 for r&c, every other credible reviewing site gave it at least an 8/10

The GOTY for the majority of publications getting an 8.8? It's a top 20 game of all time, and it got an 8.8?

It's not "unfair" because GS can do whatever they want to, so I guess I can agree with that wording. But if you're trying to say it's not the wrong score, then you're dead wrong.

You might not have enjoyed the game yourself, but that doesn't say anything about its actual quality.

it was freaking ocarina of time with some new controls

the fact that mario got a score it deserves on GS doesnt change the fact that zelda and metroid were 100% AAA material, and that GS flopped them. The are just inconsistent as people have said. and no, thyre not credible: halo 3, does basically the same things as halo2- 9.5, MP3, does basically the same things as MP2 just with added wii remote controls- 8.5... GS, get your act together.

Agree.

I like the fact that GS gave Mario Galaxy one of the lowest score of ALL CRITICS...

They gave it that because there was no other choice, and even there they are damn biased with their new review system...

True but they at times add in some ridiculous reviews that messes up the games scores whether it be way to high or way to low. And with Metacritic they don't add enough reviews thus having people juding a game with just 7 reviews with one of them being offbeat and leading the average score down.

This thread makes me sad. You went the elitistmanticore route, Sonick. Another one bites the dust.

No, GS is still inconsistent, and it'll take more than one review to change that. I keep saying this was a "pleasant surprise" because that's all it was. If they can truly turn around, we'll be back with them.

Gamespot is still not credible.

They may have given a 9.5, but they are still inconsintent.

Just look at the N64.

Oh look! A perfect 10!

Doesn't excuse all those other games that were given terrible scores because it didn't have loading screens.

I agree that some games are given too high scores and others too low scores. I think the problem is that GS reviewers give a score based on "how they felt" about the game, and then they write a review tailored to that score. That's just my idea though.

PS : If someone already said this, then I'msorry. I only read the posts until page four.

don't make wild assumptions because you're trying to debunk my correct statement
