Why do all the 'GAMESPOT IS BIASED!!' threads appear when a PS3 game flops?

This topic is locked from further discussion.

I find it quite odd how the flood of these threads only seem to appear after a PS3 game didn't live up to the hype. Wierd that many people on here seem to be so happy about 'claiming ownage' when the review comes out then either begin to whine or head to IGN boards.

lol i noticed that too. Seems like cows can't take that the PS3 isn't as hyped as they thought it was.

Wrong.

Zelda flopped and sheep screamed it too.

And games like Perfect Dark 0 getting a NINE from GS, didn't help matters.

There aren't that many cows anyways, your theory is a nice try, but it's completely off track.

Crackdown dind't really flop, as it wasn't hyped AAA, like Zelda.

Mods should start locking biased accusation threads.  We use Gamespot as our offical meter of quality in this forum.  If you thinkg GS is biased, go somewhere else.

Because the PS3 fanboys always need to grasp at the last straw. It's very fun to watch them go into damage control modes. It reminds me of when a 6 year old can't have a piece of candy or the new popular toy.
