@hateyourface @pakhair @xolivierx @JBStone1981 Yeah but GS should highlight such comments, some of has valid opinions and points and GS only promotes Trolls in Feedbackula, which is downright insulting for users with insight BUT I KNOW what you are trying to say

@jonnybutler11 Yup Kevin is a great reviewer but he too can be harsh on ratings but his reviews have great valid points

Well Johny great show as always but don't defend Tom please. Today was one of the few shows where we were lacking good comments for an instance.


I respect Tom, I do but there is no denial that Tom is often wayyyyyyy toooooo of the path in his reviews with every second game it's just like he receives a different copy of game then others. I think his best doesn't lies in Reviewing side of this industry, The man is damn opinionated (no offense intended). I know Kevin also some time gets harsh comments but the men is always top nothch with his reviews it's just his ratings are lower but in Mr.Mac Shea's case he always grabs onto something and bashes it for the 50% part of the review.


In the end keep it up GS and I know it's intended or pure co-incidence that your staff rates PS3 exclusives lower majority of time, I think GS team needs some Sony love but I know this all can be my speculation :)

@TimeFrame @pakhair Cheers to you too mate.


And as said previously in this discussion never compare games outside genre for rating, Never good thing when reviewing or making opinion ;)

Indie is a different thing, they review them on uniqueness and game design rather then graphics , story, sound e.t.c so they often get higher ratings. Plus in my opinion indie are very essential for the industry the break the bond of same gameplay and avoids user boring from same type of experiences.

And Yes GS was not right with TLOS

@TimeFrame @pakhair @penpusher Absolutely Right that Investors will be happy. But as I said before such attitude again and again will hurt GS trust and their image.


But I will have to disagree with you on people reviewing the game, There are too many kids, angry fanboys and absolute haters, They will destroy the system altogether look at metacritic fan reviews for example. But something like Rotten Tomatoes can be implemented

@TimeFrame @penpusher Reviews are the life of any industry and so are the rating, you can go off the track with your opinion time to time (as comared to your opposition) but if it becomes a trend and rating are always brash and too much differnet from others you loose your shining spot and trust.

Even for a game Developer a good rating is necessary because it heightens their spirits plus a lot of consumers only buy high reviewed stuff

@TimeFrame @penpusher @pakhair

8 is definitely a good rating, who says it isn't. It's just that 80%+ critics including some great sources majority of time gives games higher rating as compared to other sources.

The point here is why such things happen, because there reviews are opinionated they don't score game based on various section e.g graphics, gameplay, sound e.t.c


+ One should notice that it doesn't matter if it's Indie or pure AAA, The reviewer should never go for comparing genres or in pursuit of Originality but should review game based on it's own merits confined within genre and it's competitors. Ideal way for reviews. Which majority of GS stuff unfortunately ignore and don't give a damn about what others say and that's something which makes their reviews uncredible and people are loosing trust on them which is never good for any publication
