The Zelda Review Hating...Just Pathetic
Ive been cruising the forums and the rest of the web for the past couple hours. Its seriously sad to see all this Jeff bashing. The guy stood up to the hype and gave a certified gamespot review of the game. That means that the rest of gamespot, including Greg, approved the review. Get over it fanboys, the game got hyped to epic porportions.
I find it one thing to see kids on forums acting tough and hating on an editor, but from another journalist altogether its just downright pathetic. Matt, the head hauncho over at IGN is shedding the last bit of dignity he had as a game journalist. Calling for Jeff to be fired and a boycott of gamespot is not only unprofessional, but childish as well. Good job Matt, you just bashed on someone else in order to validate your own review
Seriously though, this is why I keep coming back to gamespot if I need a trustworthy opinion on which to base the decision to buy a game or not. GS has the journalistic integrety to stand up to hype and analyze a game for what it really is.
And really, thats all were talking about here. Video games. So quit the hating, and try and see the big picture for once.
Btw, the last time I checked, an 8.8 means a game is Great, and refers to great games that are excellent in almost every way. Are you going to let the fact that it scored .2 lower than a superb decide whether you'll want to play the game or not?

But from looking at other sites I guess it all comes down the remote. I think Jeff believed that the remote was hurting the gameplay experience and not helping. While others felt like it was helping the experience. That's why they differed by a .7 margin. Which is barely anything.
I think I'm going to go and create a blog about what that nimrod said.
Anyway, speaking of reviews, I only read them to find out how the gameplay of a game is like, so yeah, they don't really affect my purchases.
