    I rarely look at Destructoid's articles, but I usually find Jim Sterling kind of amusing, but because he gave Deadly Premonition a 10/10 he jokingly said that his review helped it top Amazon sales. This is fine, but when commenters started saying that GB Endurance Run probably had more impact he said this "I doubt a video of two guys going out of their way to say how terrible the game is influenced too many sales."   Kind of a douchy thing to say, let alone completely uninformed considering he didn't acknowledge the dual Endurance Runs.  Giant Bomb had plenty of love in the Destructoid thread by the way, but I fell like other sites are starting to get annoyed at the popularity and great work they do here.

    It was a stupid comment. Simply because it's antagonistic and misinformed.

    Yeah, I get that he is just antagonistic and purposely writes nonsense, and I get it and don't mind that, but talking mess about real professionals who obviously take their job more seriously and are more entertaining is fucking low, even for him.

    It's probably a joke.  Jim seems to like Jeff quite a bit, and Jeff seems to like Destructoid.

    Yeah that was a jerk thing to say. Besides doesn't the track record show that when ever Giant Bomb does something like this Amazon does some sale? They did it for P4 and Deadly Premonition. I think they did something with the Matrix during the Not Like This run and something Star Trek related during Set Phasors to Fun, but I'm not sure.

    I don't think they're going out of their way to show how terrible the game is, but just how weirdly entertaining it is, much like Persona 4.

    " Jim Sterling can go fuck himself. And he calls himself a professional journalist when he can't even write like one. Talk about pathetic. My guess that he's just jealous because Deadly Premonition will soon be largely associated with Giantbomb (like Persona 4) instead of Destructoid. "

    It's the textbook hipster response. 1) Talk about how awesome some undiscovered thing is. 2) Lash out at people who start the thing after you did. 3) Claim that thing is too mainstream/call everyone who likes it posers.

    He mentions selling copies. It is not the job of Giant Bomb Endurance Run to sell people the game, it is to offer an entertaining play-through of a game that is too long for someone to finish.

    He wasn't criticizing the GB crew with that comment. He was just saying that a playthrough that shows off the games general bad/weirdness will not boost sales. I think he's probably wrong but, its not an insult really.

    Did anyone bother to read the OP? Sterling said,

    I doubt a video of two guys going out of their way to say how terrible the game is influenced too many sales.

    What's wrong with that? I'm quite sure the GB crew would agree, ITT people are being over-reactive and moronic.

    Not to sound like a Jim apologist here, but don't you guys think you're over reacting a tad bit?  Then again I frequent both sites so what do I know? 
     
    I will say this though,  " the game is influenced too many sales." is horrible grammar for an editor of a major video game blog. :P

    @Alexander: My opinion of him is not solely based on this one comment.  All of his articles I've read have been bad, and he doesn't ever seem to take things seriously and not be stupid and or troll.  Maybe he has some legitimately good articles but I've never seen one.  This just adds to my dislike of him.

    I totally forgot about that, but you're right. I think for PAX or E3 at one point, Jim Sterling made a list of things he wanted to do while there. One of the first things listed was "hug Jeff Gerstmann." Yup, people are blowing this way out of proportion.

    I've got no comment other than it was definitely watching the game on the Endurance Run that made me almost pick up a copy of it the other day, despite feeling there was an overall (justified) negative additive towards the game's mechanics.

    The trifecta of Kotaku, Joystiq, and Destructoid is where I get most of my gaming news. Unfortunately, reading them all means a whole lot of duplicate stories.

    This is probably like a phony rap grudge, like Eazy-E and Dr. Dre.  Giant Bomb will be all visiting Jim Sterling in the hospital when he's dying of AIDS.
