i hope you\'re investing serious time into this argument.



wrong again, people are disputing his review because it goes against what the rest of the professional review community thought of the game.
this isn\'t a cult favorite, this is a proven franchise.
one dude poorly reviewing a great title because of not being subjective, which can have an effect on its sales.
a travesty



You need to learn how to read. Or at least quit doing selective quoting. I obviously said that for SOME people, his review was right on the money. I never said that his review was right on the money for me. So please, before you start this debate, at least make sure you know what you are quoting. So, in return, I hope YOU are investing some serious time into this, because you\'re just grasping at straws when you start selective quoting.

Mario Sunshine was part of a proven franchise and guess what? It sucked. Some people loved on it the other hand.  I love this whole idea that because the masses think the game is great, Aaron should just fall in hand and give the game an outstanding review, even if he didn\'t mean it. Just amazes me that you would rather read a PR hype sheet, as opposed to what the reviewer actually thought when he was playing the game.

Quote
If he gave a 10/10 and everyone else gave it a 7.5 then again his review would have shown some form of bias again and people would have felt it too.

No, if he had given the game a 10/10, people on this board, Gamefaqs and other boards would be praising his review and posting it as the benchmark of all reviews. The only reason people have a problem with his review is because it goes against what they think he should of wrote, because they hate to read a single negative thing about a PS3 exclusive. This translates into any console fanboy.

soully...he\'s a reviewer, not a critic.
now sure how they handle things on the underbelly of the world where you are.
this isn\'t SDF giving halo 3 had review.

LIC, how can you possibly say the review is right on the money for anyone when you haven\'t played it at all?
oh, you\'re arguing just to argue.
i understand, but still find it amusing.

Which as I said this would have been natural, no big deal and not much different from a 9+/10 of press average so I still dont know why you are making such an issue out of it by using such assumptions. If the game took a 10/10 from one site and a 7.5 press average, that one 10/10 would have been meaningless and overshadowed. Gamers most likely would have noticed it\'s mediocre quality by playing the game just like the general press.

Also I dont know why you have a problem with people in this board pointing towards the possibility is not well written. I also dont understand why you believe that anyone who thinks his review is not well written is necessarilly a fanboy. It is almost obvious that his review is bad written and does not represent the true quality of the game.

Reviewers can do mistakes or a bad job too.

i don\'t think people in this board care if his review is right on the money or not.  i think we are smarter than that and we have better things to do than take a review personally or seriously.  For interested and curious gamers of this game, they can just download the demo and play it and let them decide what they think of it.

And you\'re trying to say that most likely NO ONE agree\'s with his review - which we all know is false. Simple odds would dictate that someone, somewhere agree\'s with Aaron\'s review and even if they don\'t, he still done his job, he detailed what he liked and disliked about this game. You just want to focus on the negative things he said, because the game didn\'t get the score that the masses think it deserves.


If I remind you of Watchdog, then you must be Clowd, as you\'re simply jumping on the bandwagon that denies and tries to argue against anything that may show a negative light on the PS3, no matter how small it is, like Aaron\'s review.

I know you aren\'t dumb, I would never think that, but I can\'t understand why you want to avoid simple logic.  There are other people out there, somewhere who most likely do not care for this game.  I don\'t need to play the game to know this .

I tend not to read anything you read, because ninety percent of the time it is complete garbage, but this part struck me as funny.  What is so "bad" about his review? As I\'ve stated time and time again, he done his job. He wrote about the game, explained the game and gave his opinion on the game after he was finished.

It\'s just like in a previous thread, someone posted all these glowing reviews of the game, but then turned around and said that 1up, Gamespot and another site didn\'t matter, because they was "biased garbage".  You know what I call that? Selective.  It\'s selective reviewing, selective reading and just plain selective. You\'re only reading what you want to read and anything other than that is "biased garbage" or just "written bad".

Wrong, yet again.  Yes Aaron was a great member of this forum, but I am defending his review because I think he done his job.


You know what else is funny about this?  Take a magazine like EGM that offers multiple viewpoints on reviews, quite often one reviewer won\'t care for a game as much as the other two did, does anyone care about that? No. The forum nerds and \'net geeks don\'t go on a witch hunt then , but when you take a singular review like Aaron\'s and compare it against other \'net reviews, all of a sudden there is some big difference.  I just don\'t see it. If Aaron had wrote this review for EGM and there was two other viewpoint boxes next to his, his medicore score of the game would of been read and forgotten.

What people base their reviews on are almost always subjective so you can\'t have a 100% objective review hence why there isn\'t just one review of the game.  Aaron gave his opinion (honest or not) and stated his reasons for his score, not sure why people are so pissy about it.  I\'d personally rather have a number of reviews that disagree on a score that way I can get a gauge on which opinion best matches mine.
Wrong. There are two other people who can.

i think what LIC and and everbody else is saying is just personal taste or opinion.  Like food, drink, hobbies, etc.

some would give this food a 10/10 while other would give it a 7/10, etc.  same could be said about drink and hobbies...

also, people have different taste when it comes to which girl or guy is pretty or hot and they also have a scale rating of how hot they think that person is...

no, i just refuse to entertain you in the slighest.
one you play the game, then you have the ability to defend aaron\'s critique.

gamespot\'s review system is garbage, as already explained.

Exactly, he actually use to try.


I don\'t need to play the game to defend Aaron\'s review, for one simple reason... If I played the game, when I was done, I will have formed my own opinion of it.  I could do my OWN review then.  The difference is, Aaron gets paid to write down his thoughts and experiences with a game and that is exactly what he done.

As Soul said, logic just goes beyond you obviously.
