Sweet giveaway!

Wow this article so much fail. From Wada he said interesting and see's no difference. Hardly a huge dish against the product. And Molyneux, the man behind the studio that got BOUGHT OUT by Microsoft and is on their payroll now, is softpedaling a burn on the other guy's product? WOW. That surely must mean something. Mind you I don't care for either product and won't spend a dime on either, but there is some serious bait and switch going on with this article.

Boo

I'll believe this when I see it. They will realize the profits they earned on such games as Lost Planet 2 or what I'm sure will be met with tepid reservation by many fans on Bionic Commando 2 and they'll return to milk their cash cow.

I'll sum up my feelings on this subject fairly succinctly:

WHO THE HELL CARES?!

Art, not art. One man, a guy who REVIEWS MOVIES says they can't and people will go on and on about this. Honestly he's just one man, going on about a subjective definition, a category that means absolutely dick. Please for the love of god let this all stop. It does not matter one damn bit.

Wow thanks GR for making me feel like a total fucking fool. I had the code for Demolisher, and guess what I used it. He is OP for escalation as he's the only one with ammo beacon, but shit I would have gladly given him over for $100.

I must admit that was pretty god damn funny, well done.

Here's honesty for you: I will never base the purchase of a game based on any scores YOUR site makes. GR tends to be the last place I ever go for a review (sorry guys, I just don't think this is a strong point for you).

To be fair though I don't base my purchases off of review scores. I come closer with an aggregate I suppose and in that sense GR does affect it (in some small way). No for me purchases are made more on a basis of cost, replayability (MP, badass achievements, short SP, etc.) and genre. I steer clear of any and all sports titles but will read the reviews for many other games out there. Much like Mr. Cundy if something catches my eye that sounds enjoyable, despite the game having received a low score I'll purchase it (if again the price is right).

I would daresome say that cost is probably the most important factor to me. I recently picked up Fracture, which scored a 7 on this site, not because it was some amazing game (lets face facts it simply isn't) but rather that it is moderately entertaining and the price was right (12 bucks).

In the end I'm not a big fan of the number system to begin with. You've got one guy reviewing a game and then piling up his biases, his playtime (which sometimes isn't even completion) and whatever other baggage and then assigning it a fairly arbitrary number. As was pointed out in the article a 6 is still decent, but most see that as being shit. If you're going to make 7 and below the new one, just rate it on a scale of one to four stars (I would say numbers but I doubt many would catch on). So many reviewers throw around 10's, 9's for games that hardly deserved it and to use a video game term, I think the whole system needs a reset button.

Personally I prefer the system that ScrewAttack has set up. Just tell me to buy, rent or eff it. I'm not going to catalog these things based on score and I'm not going to remember what it was months from now. I will however remember if I should have bought it or rented it. Good comment provoker sir.

I think that GR comments have actually gotten better with the Chinese advert spam. Spam on you guys, most of the comments you have to say are better than "firstzomgomzmogmom11!11"
