He has done absolutely nothing worthwhile in gaming since the very first God of War game, and considering how horribly that game has aged, that isn't saying much. Jaffe just doesn't seem to make particularly good games, he just takes an obscenely long time making mediocre ones, and remains relevant by having strong opinions and cussing people out on the internet, which makes him "cool and edgy", which only proves how shallow most of the internet is. Oh look, Jaffe cussed out somebody on neogaf! That's so cool, and totally makes up for his complete lack of worthwhile games this entire generation!

That happens when you try to justify yourself and yet continue to make even more contradictory statements... I believe the saying is "when in a hole, do not try to dig yourself out".
God damn SW. Oh and lol at the overreacting personal attacks at the reviewer. Tom didn't have fun. Scored it as he thought was appropriate. Get the fvck over it. Lookin like a bunch of damn fools. The Simpsons Arcade? Really? :|

I actually don't give a sh*t about the game. The problem is the piss poor logic presented in the review. That is what ticks me off, the score be damned, much like every other one of the reviews the man has ever written.
[QUOTE="D4W1L4H"] Only an idiot would compare a human to aids based on his preference of toys... Over the Internet. I'm comparing him to aids because like aids, he is slowly killing this site from the inside out. Not because he dislikes a "toy" I like, but because he is a consistently awful reviewer, going all the way back to his review of Infamous. The FIRST one, not the second.
[QUOTE="TransFishers"]I agree. Review games for what they are, not what you want them to be. If the only negative is that it's an accurate port of the arcade original, then writing a review at all seems like a waste of time.TomMcShea
That's exactly what I did. This is a short game with tedious combat and lousy unlockables. It's bad. As I said in my review, it's Good that it's acrade perfect so historians have a copy of this game, but that doesn't mean it's fun to play. I'm not sure why you think I was measuring it against some hypothetical belief of what it should be. I played it, it's boring, and I detailed why that's the case.
I don't care if a game was fun twenty years ago. People have limited time and money, and I would be doing them a disservice if I gave it a high score just because I had fun with it when I was ten.
You're an idiot. (A delusional idiot, at that) You said it was an accurate emulation of the original, then went on to score it a 3.0 for not having modern features and having a lack of a compelling narrative, which comes back to the whole "idiot" thing. You are so stupid that my brain is trying to claw it's way out of my head screaming "WHY DO YOU MAKE ME READ THIS SH*T, WHY DO YOU HATE ME". Jesus, you give the internet aids just by existing.
[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] we're not in the 90's anymore, standards have gone up. some games hold up, some don't. the simpsons arcade apparently doesn't. I don't think you get it. Oh well, moving on. As for everyone else, the only information anyone needs about this game is "is it an accurate emulation of the original game". Which is why Giantbomb has it right by just doing a quicklook play through which came to the conclusion that, yep, this sure is the Simpsons Arcade Game. Which is all the information that any of the target audience for the game even needs. Do we really care that it lacks a compelling narrative?
[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] he's reviewing an old game by current standards I know, that's why the review is insanely stupid, and just doesn't need to exist. It should simply have not been reviewed, like Xmen arcade.
