Why would you care? GS's reviews are horribly flawed anyway, plus I heard that alot of there staff are leaving after what happened to Jeff.

He gave a low review to Kane and lynch while there were Kane and lynch ads all over the site. He got fired.

Yea I agree I don't like the new guys at all on the spot is not the same no excitement. I loved Jeff he told it the way it was.

You think they would want to fix it with everyone blogging about it posting in here and so on.

LONG LIVE JEFF

[QUOTE="uschris0304"]Why you feel sorry for me?? After I beat the game I knew I was never going to play it again, so might as well get something out of it...I feel sorry for the people who actually think this is a great game and one of the best games all time, cuz the game is simply OK, and thats all it is...Its cool in the beginning, when you are in awe of the graphics and under water scene. Its also cool when you 1st use the plasmids and can pick up and throw objects, set people on fire, freeze people...but that only lasts so long, cuz once you start moving along in the game. The game gets old quick, and I had to force myself to finish it so I wouldnt feel so dumb for spending 60 on it.... Once you move along in the game, its all the same thing over and over again...which is killing splicers, take there money, ammo etc. and walk around looking for 3 Big Daddys to blow up with your grenade launcher, the same EXACT big daddys that you have been blowing up all game long, so you can keep rescuing the same EXACT girl with the same voice just different hair color, so you can get her ADAM...not to mention there is no skill needed or unique ways of killing these big daddys, just stand there and launch grenades til he dies...all while you have these ANNOYING Ammo vending machines screaming the same stuff all game long...and on top of that, the game is sooooo easy you can beat it without even dying once... Its not a bad game or the worst game ever or anything, its just way overrated thats alldestinhpark

Heh. Yeppp...

I agree with Chris. I know you people want to think it is one of the best games ever made but maybe you need to just face that it's not that good. In fact it's not even worth a buy.

Unless you want to end up like Jeff It's best to keep your mouth shut and review after the check has cashed on the ad's. No doubt we are heading toward a recession and nobody wants to be out on the streets when it hits.8)

Yeah gamespot was always the first site i went to for game reviews but now the game is a greatest hit by the time they release a review. I usually just go to IGN now since they have reviews the day a game comes out or even before.

I used to go to GameSpot for my reviews then I always found myself disagreeing with every review and end up thinking ehoever reviewed the game was on crack. Then I started noticing IGN's reviews are almost always dead on with my opinions with a few exceptions. BioShock being a big one, 9.7....are you guys on crack haha? That game was an 8 tops, clunky gameplay, terrible storytelling and zero replay value.

Scoring in .5s is a complete disaster, and why? Because fanboys crying over multiplats having a 0.1 point reduction.

Come on, they are extremely slow with there reviews, we are here waiting even though the games been out for 2 or 3 weeks, what's the point? And lets be honest the recent reviews are so off its laughable, I really don't know what they are doing with there time.

Also gamespot trying to pull the wool over are eyes with the whole Jeff thing, do they think we are that stupid? We know now exactly how much they care about giving users honest scores now.

That guy gave Halo 3 a 9.5 when in reality it was a 8.0 at best. Extremely biased. People like Jeff do no write honest reviews for games. For all I know he probably took money under the table for some of his reviews.

We need someone experience and integrity to write reviews for Gamespot...

Jeff also gave Kane and Lynch 6, can you really say it didn't deserve it?

Greg K gave PD0 a 9.0, that's worse than the Halo 3 score, and he was imo by far the best reviewer GS has ever had.
