Sorry but Gamespot's scores count here.

Hexagon_777

I'm pretty sure there was poll awhile ago over whether we should use Gameranking or Gamespot and gamerankings won...

Was it an official topic or no? If not, it doesn't count.

Who cares if it was an official topic or not? This is Gamespot's System Wars. Only Gamespot reviews count. There is no other fair method of comparison. A bunch of Cows hijacking a poll does not change the way System Wars has run for years.

Shouldn't we also only be restricted to the information that GameSpot provides us with, then? Furthermore, lemmings and sheep also ran to GameRanking when their games flopped, so...

What do screen-shots and information have to do with what we're talking about? We're talking about ratings. How can you claim Game Rankings is fair when one game is reviewed by more sources than another. It's too argumentative. Gamespot provides one rating per game, so that is what applies in Gamespot's system wars.

Are you sersiouly trying to claim that the lemmings and sheep are as big whiners as the cows when it comes to Game Rankings? You have got to be kidding me. The cows have been at it from the very beginning of the 360's launch when PDZ scored AAA here.

Games like Operation Flashpoint, Spycraft, Descent Freespace, and System Shock II that would either not install, or stop working on my computer and never work again, no matter how many times I tried to reinstall the games themselves or install updates.

Short of physical malfunction, console games always work.

[QUOTE="UnknownSniper65"]I wouldn't do it...they invite people on the show just to ambush them and make them look like idiotsFrostbite24

Which is exactly what fox will do. They'll pit EA against some religious Zealot. And realistically, Fox news watchers already have their mind made up that video games are evil and destroying our nations youth. What are some pixelated boobs when kids are getting killed in Iraq.

Fox news supposedly has a majority of republican veiwers but you do realize that it is democrats that have been campaigning against video games for years now right? If elected Democrats are spearheading the campaign against video games then I can't really see how Fox News veiwers are the one that already have their minds made up about this.

The only reason you say that is that Hillary Clinton is the most outspoken againt video games. It is split pretty evenly between parties. Democrats are more against violence. Republicans are more against nudity / sex.

I don't think EA has much to gain from that. Fox will just treat them like they did the video game "expert" on the last show, by having all their anchors disagree, and talk over the EA Representative's answers.

[QUOTE="sam280992"]Well I never hyped that one :D But true the majority of cows hyped that one due to graphics... lolblue_hazy_basic
urgh alot of it was off a few screenshots, and I will say that alot of the older more level headed cows had nothing to do with the ridiculous hype alot posters put on the game. That was when the PS3 was still new and all the cows thought every game would be a stunning feast graphically and gameplay wise, now reality has set in and people accept that maybe this gen isn't quite as revolutionary as they'd hoped. (not just talking about cows here)

There are older, level headed cows? Every single cow was hyping Lair. It is impossible to deny. There were countless threads showing pictures of the dragons, saying how the Xbox 360 was all ready doomed. Every single cow hyped Lair.

Wait wut this coming from the guy who said NMH got 88% on GR so it does not count as AAA .. yet uncharted gets 89% and it does?! Cow Logic rules.

Edit: Besides this is GS so it does not matter.

youngtongue

remember school. 89.8 rounds up tp 90.0. no more heroes is at 87.4. that rounds to 87.0. that is basic 3rd grade math.

OK THIS NEEDS TO STOP. I remember school and you know why they told you to round up? because it makes things easier to calculate something if its rounded up. THAT DOESNT MEAN U ROUND UP BECAUSE ITS COVIENT FOR IT. I got a 89.6% in a class one time. Guess what I got? A "B+" where was my rounding? IN THE REAL WORLD 89.8=/=90 ASK A MATHMATICIAN IF YOU NEED TO BUT MY GOD STOP USING THAT RIDICULOUS ARGUMENT./rant

Exactly, a casino would be happy to support a game where the player wins 49.8% of the time. They would not support a game where the player wins 50% of the time. That's a huge difference in the end.

I can't wait for the Kommissar Rex video game.

That would be awesome.

metacritic has 58 reviews of uncharted. gametrailers has 63. if you wanna go by 1 review of your games then thats fine. but on a global scale, it is a AAA game. end of my argument.

It seems to me that Metacritic tends not to include the less... legitimate review sites.

I'll assume you meant 87.4 rounds down to 87.0, not 97.4, but this is not some simple arithmetic class. Real life requires much more accurate numbers than no decimal points. If astronauts rounded their numbers, they'd be dead.

Metacritic only has Uncharted at 88. http://www.metacritic.com/games/ps3/scores/
