Well, here I will be addressing my opinion of the Jeff being fired, and the all along terrible moderation problems.
Jeff was a great, funny guy, and his criticism was really valid after you played the game. I remember Twilight Princess. I was so mad when it first got an 8.8, but then after I played it, I probably would have given it a lesser score. What happened to him was WRONG, and what's been said so far is total BS.
First there was the PR everyone was expecting, that was total legal BS and didn't explain anything.
Then there was the people that work at gamespot that talked about it on the hotspot. They lied... I know it, makes me feel bad inside too. I want to believe them. But they said it had nothing to do with Kane and Lynch.. How could they know it wasn't for that, because they said they weren't told anything? Second is the bad "mic quality", which is BS, and finally Kane and lynch is up there to be nominated for GOTY. I listened to the one with "bad sound" and it was perfectly fine. They also edited the written review which didn't help out a bit.
With video games, if the game is overall fun, it will address the good issues that make it worth playing. Nobody wants to hear mostly about the bad stuff, if the game is downright fun. With Kane and lynch the game wasn't fun to play, so naturally they wouldn't be focusing on some of the good stuff it did. It was focusing on the bad stuff, which makes it an unfun game to play.
I've been a user for 3 years, and I've always enjoyed my stay at gamespot, besides the mods, that are well A-holes.
They are sooo nit-picky, and even when they're wrong they can't admit it in "Ask the mods". Yes sir, Ask the mods is a TOTAL joke.
I lost A WHOLE FRIGGIN level to try to help back some guy up, they didn't say anything about my concerns, they just point loss whored me, and deleted my posts.
That being said, I'm strongly considering migrating to IGN, I like the user base here, but the only person keeping me here for official gamespot stuff was Jeff. And the moderation is a total joke.
