The funny thing about gamespot reviews.

[QUOTE="rolo107"]What I find far more ridiculous is that a game like Half-Life 2 got a 9.2 and Halo Reach got a 9.5. Sure, it's 0.3, but I don't really care, that's pretty ridiculous, and shows how wacky standards are. Half-Life 2 was criticized in that review for lacking content, even with CS: S, for having a disappointing story, for being a retread in many ways, etc. What's up with that? moving_penguin

[QUOTE="lightleggy"]the point of this thread is not "LOOK PC ALWAYS SCORE HIGHER!" or something like that...its just to show you guys we shoudlnt take gamespot reviews as "uncontradictable words"lightleggy

OMG your sig.

This is OT but why are you hating on Bayonetta, bro? :cry:

because its an amazing game? its laughable that you think its a 1.0 game and somewhat strange that you dedicate your sig to hate on game that is not even very popular. :)

[QUOTE="moving_penguin"]storytelling =/= story though?lightleggy

If only Kevin V had reviewed it...

[QUOTE="moving_penguin"]storytelling =/= story though?lightleggy

no, it isn't. storytelling how the story is told. The storytelling in Half-life 2 IS top notch. However, the actual story itself still blows ass.

Guys, guys, guys...it doesn't matter what system Half Life 2 is played on. It is just terrible. There, we solved this little problem.

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] no, you are the one who is kidding...you said "you find riciculous that a 2004 game scored less than a 2010 game" how the hell is the age related to the score it can get?lightleggy

because gaming can evolve?

i don't know where you got that from. :|

how about not assuming the most absurd angle first and consider that maybe graphics and game mechanics advanced between the release of the two hl2 versions.

story and storytelling are two different things.

[QUOTE="rolo107"] Considering Half-Life 2+Counter-Strike Source is better than Halo Reach in every possible, conceivable way other than possibly graphics, and that's arguable due to mods and PC capabilities, yes I am comparing. Regardless, why would I not find it ridiculous? It's not like standards are lower now, they should be higher. moving_penguin

...and once again some random GS user reads something from the summary of the review, takes it out of context and starts spreading his theories about how GS reviews suxxorzzz. All this while not fully reading the actual review.

Storytelling=/=Story

From page 2 of the XBOX review: "Surprisingly, Half-Life 2's story is one of its most disappointing aspects."

Congrats TC!!!!:roll:

I lost all respect for GS reviews when they gave ratchet and clank a 7.5 and the industry average is a 9 or damn nearWadeFan
