Well the sheep will go back to saying that GS has no credibility, even though when NMH got a 9, they suddenly went back to saying that they did have crediblity.batistafan99
No, sheep were happy NMH got AAA. I didn't see anyone saying that GS was credible again after NMH.

Honestly don't care what Gamespot gives it. If it got a 7.5 from someone more reliable like IGN then I would care.

GS would get flamed to heck and back. They would basically be saying that it is a lot worse then Melee and on par with the first Smash Bros. And don't lecture me about how standards have changed since then because what game has been like Melee that has raised the bar? NONE. Brawl will be the first, and it has added so many more features over its predecessor it's not even funny. I will even say that it added more over its predecessor than any other game has added over theirs. I would like to think that Brawl will at least be able to pull a 9.0 considering some games that received that score or higher have been the same old same old with just a few added features.

But I would buy the game and enjoy the hell out of it even if it scored a 1 here.

We could play the "What if" game all day but since the chances of most "what if" statements actually happening are just so low it seems pretty pointless.

There is no way it's scoring higher than 8.5. It's exactly the same as the first two games. Then again, GS has rated all GTA and Halo games insanely high depsite being exactly the same, so anything is possible I guess.

Smash Bros. Melee had online battle, online co-op, an extensive single-player campaign, 35+ characters, 30+ levels, over 100 musical pieces composed by 38 of the industry's top composers, spectator/betting mode, a vault feature to collect trophies and badges, a stage creator and virtually no clone characters? Wow... I need to go back and check all that out. :roll:

not really, but you will see GS holding ZERO redibility to sheep from that point onward.

And how many of these said sheep have already played the game?

Exactly, not many.

If the game got a 7.5 there would be some people who are pissed, and other sheep who were disappointed and agree.

There have been a few games over the last few years that I was sure I would love and found totally dissapointing, for whatever reason.

Well hum...Edge gave it a 9 as well.

Gamespot tends to go with the flow, but rate it slightly up/down depending on who's writing their paycheck.

Gamespot gave Twilight Princess a 8.8, they've lost all credibility already, wouldn't matter. Plus, their reviews are rigged.

It would hurt Gamespots credibility even more than any of their other reviews has. Except maybe kane and lynch. IGN already said its going to get a 9 or higher on their site. Famitsu and other already gave it perfect scores.

massive damage control, probably around a dozen account suicide threads the week of the review, and plenty of hate messages sent to the reviewer who wrote the review

Nice. Insults from a lame. Who else would over react to a review? kids or immature people. There should be no such thing as a "hype" status, but I guess that's okay with you?

and what if it doesn't deserve it's score? What if it deserves higher and GS is the only one that thinks other wise?

I'm pretty sure assassin's creed and warioware deserved AAA right :roll:

I dont know about warioware, but Assassins creed definitely deserved its AAA.

and this always happens. Games get scored low, people cry for like a month, then when the hype dies, everyone realizes that the game wasnt all it was cracked up to be.

Assassin's Creed was a toss up for me. It was great fun but EXTREMELY repetitive. WarioWare didn't deserve AAA.

I find myself agreeing with Gamespot after I complete the games they review a bit lower. I agreed on Metroid Prime: Hunters, Metroid Prime 3, and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Smash Bros will more than likely be AAA based on all of the content.

For some people that's true, but you can't possibly put every person into that category.

I agree that Metroid Prime 3 and Super Paper Mario maybe shouldn't have been AAA, but I absolutely do think that Twilight Princess should've been AAA.

In the end it's all just opinions.

and for the record assassin's creed is a solid 8.0 in my book.

It has some good points but the repetition drags it down alot IMO.

Yea, i just mean that if gs did give it a 7.5, they'd probably have sound reasoning. People would go bonkers for a while until they actually play it and realize what the review said was true. Then they'll either: 1) agree that the game deserved the score or 2) simply ignore whatever pitfalls caused it to get 7.5 and praise it as highly as ever.

but i agree that smash getting lower than 8 is hihgly unlikely.

It wont get less than 9. But I'm happy to indulge in hypotheticals and say that if it got 7.5 then Nintendo HQ may implode along with the brain of every sheep interested in buying the game. Actually, the cows and lemmings would be loving it and the sheep would probably just buy it anyway. So I guess it wouldn't matter if it got 7.5.

I wouldn't care if they gave this game a 10 or a 7.5 because i don't use this site for reviews anymore
