When it comes to most issues, cows and I don't tend to get along. So was the case with Ratchet & Clank, where I predicted floppage for their latest proven killer-app to be. That was when I thought the official hype was AAA, but I didn't expect to still be right.
After I saw the first page covered with threads about other sites' AAA reviews, I'd basically given up. At that point, it didn't matter what GS gave it.
Still, when I saw 7.5, I was excited that I had called it again. I was all ready to join the lemmings in their parade when I remembered all those other reviews. The reviews that we were so eager to count with MP3 and Zelda. Yeah, GS was at it again, and say what you want about fanboy hypocrisy, but I became a bit depressed.
It seems like SW is becoming a game in which you can only lose. Cows played it safe and still lost. And it seems like it's been forever since the lemmings had it happen to them. In fact, the last game was Bioshock, a game that wasn't even exclusive, and still got AAA. The doubts about the scales being tipped are lessening with each review, despite what people may say.
This isn't the first time it's looked this way, and at the risk of sounding repetitive, we'll have to wait until SMG to find out what the hell is truly going on.
To any lemmings, for once, let's just move along. I don't know why I'm trying to reach you guys, who are in love with Gamespot all the more now I'm sure, but if you have a conscience, this really isn't all happy sunshine. In fact, it kind of sucks, for all of us.
