Seriously is no one else impressed with the graphics improvement?

Does no one remember Call of Duty 3?

Or MOH:Vanguard?

Heroes 2 has pumped it up.

In the defense of those two, they were half-assed PS2 ports. Naturally they weren't gonna be great. :/

I ask you of this.

Have you ever played Shadow the Hedgehog? Or the next-generation Sonic?

Because those are the problems that face the series today. I can't think of anybody who gave either game a positive review outside of fans who couldn't tell a good game from Big Rigs.

and it makes me wanna say this: You need to adjust your priorities in life if it bothers you so much that others are speaking out against something on a video game website, in fact it is wasted energy on your part.

I've said what I wanted to say, and I'm more or less leaving it at that. I love the new system myself. Sure, it means that 8.0s and 8.5s are gonna be more common than the whole 8 spectrum, but it's not like they'll be handing 10s out like it was candy.

All I'd really want to know is: "What would former GameSpot editors think about this change?"

After hearing a lot of whining, complaining and threats to leave GameSpot, it makes me say this:

"You REALLY need to adjust your priorities in life if a game site's REVIEW SYSTEM means that much to you."

Twin Snakes, Substance, Subsistence.

You're welcome.

(Why is these such a disdain for MGS:TTS? "OMG SNAKE BACKFLIPPING OFF A MISSILE!$!!$!#$!@#12313212!" jesus people, I can think of like, 20-30 scenes in MGS2 and MGS3 that are just as over-the-top as any Twin Snakes scene.)

A shooter. By an American developer. On the DS. And it doesn't have flaws (like MP:H) and doesn't suck (like Touch the Dead and Goldeneye: Rogue Agent).

I seriously hope this brings a new trend. It shocks me that the PSP gets shooters with gimped controls, yet the DS has perfect controls for shooters yet barely gets any that are great.

Although, I haven't played any of the aforementioned shooters, but I heard TTD was mixed, GE:RA was bad and that MP:H had too many flaws to be enjoyable. So hey, YMMV.
