Super Mario Galaxy --- Wii sheep curse Gamespot if it gets 8.5?

[QUOTE="Willy105"][QUOTE="sexy_chimp"][QUOTE="Homesrfan"]

[QUOTE="majadamus"]Gertsman will deduct a point for for lack of oringinality and/or change (Halo 3!!!!!!!!)bringing it down to 9, and then he'll take away .5 for bad conrtols (No other critic will complain about this). sexy_chimp

No originality? Look at the planets! I don't think originality is going to be a problem.

They'll just make stuff up like they did with Metroid Prime 3 and Bioshock.

You guys critizise Gamespot too much. They are trying to be DIFFERENT. Sure it's hurting their credibility a lot, but c'mon, we should respect them for that.

We should respect them for lying?

Respect them for being unique. And their amazing forums.

I figure, if GameSpot is really able to justify an 8.5 (maybe it's possible?)I will not get too upset. But if this becomes another originality issue, I will probably get mad, because that never applied to Halo.

Does anyone else hate the new .5 increments?

I critise a review if he downgrades a game for not having an orchestra to do the music.

i'd be a bit miffed if it scored low, but only if scores on other sites are really high

it's already happened to zelda TP and MP3 .. SMG could be next

or maybe SSBB

SSBB is gonna get rated badly on GS because GS seems to have a vendetta against that game. As for SMG...if the reviewer gives it less than AAA, you can be assured that u will see his name in tomorrows paper under the obituary column. After Zelda TP and MP3, the sheep are no longer taking prisoners.

I agree. The only thing that could make it more realistic is to show sheep committing mass suicides. What some of them did around SW when TP flopped was beyond pathetic.

buuzer0

Ha, a remember a particularly amusing suicide thread to go with MP3. Still, this is the only site I trust after playing the games myself (in most cases), which I can't say for anywhere else.

I heard you can turn into Chainsaw Mario.

AAA confirmed.

NECR0CHILD313

If that happens, I will officially hype it GOTY.

If it doesn't get AAA here, chances are that it hasa glaring flaw in the game. I personally hope it gets AAA, last Mariosunshine was horrible. I could use another good platformer, atleast one that looks as fun as this.

However, I'm also one of the people that think 8.8 for TP was also generous.

Let's just use other sites for reviews, but still use Gamespot forums to discuss them. No big deal.

On the Spot however is pretty good.

everywhere else: 9.5+

here: 8.5

I only read reviews here to laugh anymore...

Super Mario Sunshine was a great game! What are you talking about!?!

GameSpot's Wii reviews are absolutely rediculous. I don't want to sound like a fanboy... but seriously guys... Every recent HUGE Nintendo title has flopped (Zelda and Metroid) while they are praised like crazy everywhere else. And then good titles are given the same or higher reviews (WW, Murcury Meltdown, Super Paper Mario, and more).

It just doesn't make sense....

[QUOTE="meetroid8"]I haven't read a GS review since MP3 which I rate 9.7 I don't even listen nore care when their reviews are listed. GS just doesn't like the Wii for some reason. They're always making jabs at it in their previews and flopping its games. I wish they would become un biased again.Bread_or_Decide

I think gamespot's scores have been the most real when it comes to all the Wii hype. Fanboys hate that so they thin ktheir biased.

I'll also be very pissed if it gets the old "it's not different enough" seeing as halo 3 got a free pass.

TP= Flop

MP3= Flop

SMG= ????

TP= Flop

MP3= Flop

SMG= ????

trizzle_a

If you guys didn't know already:

1) Super Mario Galaxy now has a launch center. Just look up Super Mario Galaxy in the game search and bam!

2) If you haven't seen the new preview, GS is very positive. They were "amazed"at the gameplay variety and visuals. Yes:"Amazed."

TP is one of my top ten games of all time. TP is the only console Zelda i've played and it's so epic. I don't know with the Zelda fans who have played numerous Zeld games but TP is my best game.lordlors

Play Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker and you'll think TP isn't even close to other Zelda games.

I can't speak for MP3, but TP deserved to flop. I can't see how any true zelda fan can say otherwise.

So basically, we should only use the sites that give good scores to the games we like?

Even with the new review system (which I hate), GS is still better than just about every other site.

Some of you guys say that Bioshock was robbed of a 9.5 for minor problems, but are things like a lack of enemy variety really minor? I loved the game, but you only fight Big Daddies anda few variations of Splicers for the entire game. The fighting gets extremely repetitive because of this, and for this alone it should not have gotten a 9.5.

And now to MP3, which you sheep are still in an outgrage over. You criticize GS for calling it more of a same, but is it really anything more than that? Other than Wii controls, it makes basically no major additions to the series.

I respect GS for actually stating these issues in their reviews, rather than leaving them out completely like most other major review sites.

It's not as good as Wind Waker, but it's defenetaly one of the best Zelda games ever made. I have played all of them except Majora's Mask.

We are completely fine with MP3's 8.5 score. What we are not ok is the review itself. It's the most contradicting review I have ever seen since the N64 era.

Half of the sheep will be gone after the review comes out if it's an 8.5 (Bets).nintendofreak_2

I would lol.

Hope they don't let that 360 fanboy (jeff) review it. You seen how happy is big grin of a smile is when he reviews 360 games? and the big frown on ANY wii title? geeze.. its so obvious, hes so happy on the 360 videos, and then acts like he doesn't want to be there on the wii reviews. aka job forces him to review it.

I wouldn't be surprised if my #1 reviews source IGN.com gives it a 9.5, and then my 2nd fav site GS gives it a 8.5

And the rest of the world will give it a 9.5 too.

It's not an issue of taking off points for being similar--that's fine with me. Thing is, they said MP3 was too similar to the first two (deduction of points), but it was more FPS-style(fast-paced, as opposed to a slower FPA)and therefore lost something for being too different. And then when the Halo 3 review came out, they said it heavily borrowed from the first two, but that it didn't matter because they were all great, and all the changes were just awesome.

It's not about taking off points. It's about contradictingthemselves within one review and across multiple reviews.

Hey guys if you believe in SMG getting an AAA or AA join a side. But please do so ONLY in SW Bets not in here. Thanks

-------------

Super Mario Galaxy AAA vs. AA

(25) Super Mario Galaxy: AAA: Kruesader,Deadman1290, Hadoken_Kid, dackchaar, MoldOnHold, David719, KCPP2B, agentfred, Cassius128, WeAreToast, tman93, ---OkeyDokey---, lolag, Taalon, animorphsfan, wiirdawgs, Wanderer5, DXGreat1_HGL, wii60_3, kingmickey2, jg4xchamp, Homesrfan, kulmiye, SuperMario_46, themagicbum9720,

(4) Super Mario Galaxy: AA: gunswordfist, Phazon_goomba, The_Pumes, Goliath_unit,

If AAA wins, AA team has to create a new thread in SW stating why SMG is so great. If AA wins, AAA teams creates thread stating why SMG sucks. each member of the losing team writes a post in the created thread. And winning team gets to write posts in the thread bragging why theyre right. Thread should be created by KCPP2B (just so its started by the bookie, he wont make any remarks either way, he can introduce the bet if he wants) and have a specific name, then the team members will make their post on the game. If there is a tie, then both sides must praise their respective game in the same thread.
