Topic.

You all must know whats going on and I feel that its very wrong that an honest individual will lose his job for expressing his opinion(which is his JOB).

PS dont ban me.lol

If Jeff got fired over his review, I'll be awfully pissed. He was easily my favorite reviewer, not only on this site, but overall.

He gave kane and lynch a 6 and GS fired him because they had some sort of endorsement deal with edios.

Its obvious that was the case its just I always figured Jeff was in on it because I never agreed with his reviews they are also like +/- 1 from what I tend to think a game should be. But thats probably how the vast majority of video game journalism sites, magazines, shows work.

i didn't like the guys reviews well more his style i guess i don't take much account into scores it's their reasons and stuff that i read.

sucks he lost his job though. Shouldn't he be able to like i dunno sue them for firing him over something like this? If not that also sucks.

i love the game so whatever im gonna keep playing it as well.

Wonder what the mods are going through right now this is a precarious situation. To squelch talk of this would only worsen things and likely cause a backlash. But they are likely dying to just stop all talk of this and make it go away.

I agree, WTF! That game looks horrible. Graphics, action, MP, and SP. Look like lest gen. A bad last gen. Maybe there is something else to this. But if he breached a contract then, I understand why they fired him. Maybe he will start his own review on you tube or something. All about hating the mann, and their crap games.

I have said this website was shyt from the time that they did a review on the JRPG blue dragon... Kevin Vanord is the biggest joke of a gamer ever... The fact that they would endorse a game and then fire someone for giving a review for it that was bad just makes my point... This website is worthless... the only thing that they are good for is giving pics and movies for new games their opinions are not even biased because they get paid to give their reviews and any other review site is shyt if you like a game play it for the game not just because some 40+ year old guy said it was the bomb I hope that they ban me for this post... their site is gay anywayz peace.

Are we really complaining about the loss of jeff gerstmann? Sure he has been around at gamespot for a long time, but his reviews are garbage and always will be. Anything to keep his disgusting face of my video reviews is a plus in my book

OMG. This makes so much since now as to why they gave assasin's creed a 9.0. I can't believe Jeff is gone. Just like that, too.

Its not a question about Jeff's reviews personally I never agreed with any of them. But firing him under the circumstances they did is unethical and likely illegal. On the Kane & Lynch board someone has said even the GameSpot Mods have gone against the site and thats why nothing has really been done to anyone slandering GameSpot and the obvious "TOS" violations in the last few hours that have dramtically increased.

Whether or not I like his reviews is not the point. The point is the reason he was fired. Was does that say about CNET and GS? It says that all they care about is advertisement revenue rather than journalistic integrity. I rather have Jeff reviews that I don't agree with rather than good paid for reviews. And who are they kidding about K&L. 6 is TOO HIGH. It's a 3.5 at least.

This just proves that reviews are not to be taken seriously. Jeff gives the truth and gets fired for it. Lame.
