I never liked him something about his demeanor always annoyed me and I'm happy he's gone even though I rarely ever come here and will come here even less after this whole debacle. However the fact of the matter is what happened to him is completely wrong and no matter who it is that just shouldn't happen in this kind of business. No I won't miss him, a little part of me is happy he's gone but overall I'm disgusted that this even happened and I sympathize with him under these circumstances.

Also in retrospect the 8.8 score is dead on for Zelda, most games are overrated and make the score look worse than it really is, it is a great game but not AWESOME AAA and i think most review systems are broken and overrated. For me he nailed that score (can't remember the review content, pros/cons of the game but the score is precise), I still dislike him though.

I am actually not surprised he was let go.

I found once he started doing reviews for the AAA titles i found myself not looking to gamespot for information for these games. He loved big action shooters and well those were great 10 years ago i want some depth to my games and a lot of them have it but I found he never saw it.

I head over to ign(ign has its fair share of problems to) or listen to the 1up show now for most information concerning certain games, where gamespot is more for news and rumors in the industry.

Maybe things will change with Jeff's replacement.

I'm very much the same, I mainly go to IGN and another site for my reviews especially gerstmann's, i've never liked him or his reviews BUT what's happened is disgusting and should NEVER happen, it takes away what little credibility I gave gamespot and means the few visits each month are over. After I'm done voicing my anger I doubt I'll ever return to a place run like this.

[QUOTE="Realtop"]Why do you people care so much about him?agrippi

you hit the nail on the head, it disgusts me that this has happened and i never liked gerstmann.

This is literally my first time back at gamespot since Greg Kasavin left and the only reason I'm back is to say "lol gerstmann"

Gerstmann is pathetic, he should be fired and they should hire someone competant.

Based only on Jeff's review TP actually deserves a lower score than it got. If you have more to say against a game than for it, shouldnt it get below a 5?
