Nitro , don' t tell me that this is not great news:
PC Gamer UK: 9.5, OXM UK: 10, Game Informer: 10, Alternative Press: 10, Xbox World: 9.4, Gamers: 9.8
PC Gamer is probably trustworthy, but the rest don' t count for shit. Hell, i opened Game Informer the other day and glanced at the staff profiles and they have the stupidest fucking thing there. It has their picture and name, preference in games and then their SPECIALITIES. What the fuck does that mean?
" Hi, i' m Brad and my speciality is driving games!"
Fuck you Brad. You don' t know dick!
And what the fuck is ' Gamers' ? A magazine? If so i' ve never heard of it.
But yeah, obviously good reviews are good for game sales and thus in turn good for the developer, but why would
you care? Aside from the developer not going out of business and possibly making similar quality titles in the future which you might enjoy, why would you possibly be interested in somebody else' s opinion about a game?
Personally I despise scores and the ' AAA' category bullshit you keep harping on about, and i' d be far happier if sites just game detailed hands-on impressions that relied on simple fact rather than reviews based on personal opinion.
Most sites and magazines are run by suit wearing idiots who don' t know shit. It' s just business for them. IGN and GameSpot staff are fucking morons and their reviews don' t count for shit. Hell, IGN is so fucking professional that one of their new writing monkeys was browsing GAF one day and saw that somebody had posted a ' Press Release' for a game called ' Metal Gear Solid: Trioligy' and without checking the legitimacy, copied the text, ran back to IGN and posted it, spelling mistake and all, like it was an official announcement. Fucking idiots. If was fake and IGN got owned. GameSpot and 1up are no better either. Just a bunch of idiot clowns who talk shit.
Gamerankings doesn' t mean shit either. At least it means nothing not me. It just averages a collection of review scores, only a handful of which are from sites and magazines who' s names are recognizable and many of those are bullshit sites like IGN anyway.
Reviews suck ass.
