So apparently Jeff Gerstmann is a "crap reviewer"...
This topic is locked from further discussion.
And I feel like a sheep for listening cause when I actually played it.....it's not that bad!I was expecting utter shit but it was decent fun.Not GOTY material, not great, but definetly not shit.Alot better than other shitty games that came out this year.(Conduit 2 and Hunted comes to mind)I just don't see what was the point in shitting on it.Did they get paid for the bad scores they gave?
It's Jeff's opinion. I mean I like DNF but you don't see me bitching about people giving it a bad score.
@Superman64 said:Well that wasn't my intention, but what I said is true. The only reason I said Jeff is because that's the one that caught my eye since I'm a Giant Bomb member.@ZeForgotten: Ummmm how do you know he stole that image exactly? And yes...by listing Jeff under the header of "Crap Reviewer"....that's pretty safe to say he's calling him a crap reviewer.Your title made people think he was calling Jeff out alone.
Xentax? What is that - some sort of anti-anxiety pill?Perhaps it's a pill to make you like DNF more?

So a sleeping pill then.

Another no name site fishing for publicity and trying to get their name out their by causing shit. Nothing new.
What a load of bullshit. Why waste our time by linking to this no-name blog? You're just giving him hits.
Who the fuck is Xentax?
Seriously though, I've disagreed with Jeff before and I likely will again, but the man's honest and actually talks about the game (at least in his reviews, he's way too pissy in quicklooks unless he's got Ryan with him). If anything, his was among the best reviews for the game.
Jeff is looking out for us, the consumer! Jeff knows his stuff. It's okay to disagree with game reviews. I just don't think it's classy to hate on the reviewers themselves.

It seems to have no effect on severe cases of butthurt. As a side effect, it may cause verbal diarrhea, swollen balls and infectious fanboyism. Poor Mr. Mouse :(
I linked this on Twitter a couple of days ago and the article is ridiculous. It's written by someone who apparently has the ability and understanding to compose a piece like this and compile all these statistics, yet doesn't understand the very basic concept that reviews are subjective.
One day in Internet Land, I came across a poorly written article that I didn't agree with so I decided to make a forum post telling people to go read it and give the poorly written article more traffic. Thinking back, I'm not sure why I did it, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
So a website that sounds like a stool softener brand insulted someone because of a low review score. I care.
I found Jeff's review to be actually more sympathetic than anything. He could have really ripped Duke a new one, but he stayed classy.
