The Whole Jeff Thing Is Rediculous

A reviewer should never, NEVER be let go because of a review. Sure, I hated Jeff after the whole Twilight Princess thing, but after beating the game, I, along with many, realized his review was accurate. Jeff was probably the best reviewer on Gamespot, and he wasn't afraid to give a game what it deserved. So now what are we supposed to believe? After this whole thing, I've realized that many game's reviews most likely aren't actually what the reviewer thinks; there could be so much more to it, such as the advertising on this site and paying for higher reviews.

And Eidos:

I will NEVER, ever buy a single game from you again. How about instead of crying about how bad your game suks, you could *gasp* make a good game? I know, crazy, isn't it? You're company will never be respected from many people now, including me.

Eh, it won't be a big deal for me to boycott Eidos. I never bought their games in the first place :P

Yeah, it is ridiculous though, firing him over doing his job when he basically gave it the review it's been getting. That is... if this is all true. We still don't know all the details, so I can't make judgement.

Gamespot their honesty has been BOUGHT. We can't trust their reviews. Jeff was one of the best, who knows what reviews have been influenced by money ?

Jeff also gave Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 a 10/10. Does that make any sense to you, given that he gave Zelda an 8.8? He was a bad reviewer.Yodas_Boy

Makes sense to me.

At the time, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 was prime for skating games. It was considered flawless in it's respective genre, for the PS2 anyway.

The Twilight Princess was nothing more than a fan service and, while it was a fantastic game, it was more of the same. I think an 8.8 was fitting.

fck eidos, seriously i heard this like a couple minutes ago and was shocked that the jeff they were talking about was the one who reviewed tp (zelda), gamespot has alot to do

Typical fanboy response. THPS3 came out 5 years before TP.

Shutup fanboy.

Congradulations for being the first person on these boards i've ever told to SHUT UP

You dont have to agree with his review. The important thing is that they were his un-tained opinions of a game. When outside influences start to influence game reviews, we have a problem. Just because you dont agree with his reviews doesnt make him a bad journalist

Maybe we should look at the release dates and expectations ?

I thought his charsima and sense of humour made him one of the best gaming journalists.

Maybe not, but Halo 3 was actually a very good game. Not every website is corrupt, and most of them gave Halo 3 high scores. Also, check the user reviews, see a pattern?

We get it, jeff is gone Tear Tear, now it`s over, get over it.TheJuiceyBar

The incident may be over but the integrity has been lost, can that be gotten over? :? Changes the very way this board functions.

rofl. Hello mr. near sighted

Jeff being fired is only the tip of the iceberg. He'll find another job, im sure. I'd say gamespot absolutely destroying their credibility is a little more important

Even then, you can't really say it's over when we don't know all the details.

There's been a parade of gamespot editors and friends of jeff coming out and showing their support. They probably just cant come out and say it because of litigation

In UK law silence can be incriminating, and the longer CNet keeps its fat, money hungry mouth shut the more damage it is doing itself.
