I dont like the community on GS, Well at least on SW. People flame you if you make a simple grammar error. No one listens to logic, every one has on fanboy goggles. I have been posting there less and less. I have been coming here more often then I used to but I dont really like the way the forums are set up right now. There is nothing wrong with GS other than the mods and community.
Does anybody here still use Gamespot?
Occassionally, I haven't really read any of their reviews in ages though. The last one I read was Condemned 2, which was a very sad attempt at being funny.
I got a 7 day suspension today. I done with that place anyway. The community sucks. I got banned for telling someone to **** off, with the stars, I didnt even use one letter of the word. The community is more worried about bashing you for misspelling a word then they are responding to a topic. I post at a few forums and have never met more assholes in one place, System wars. That used to be the only forum worth posting in. I was in a best fighter topic and said I didnt like brawl because I wasnt 12 anymore and got modded for trolling. WTF, trolling how? I seriously hate that place. Never in my life have I wanted to kill someone because of the internet except there. oh, did I say I hated the community?

I'm just bumping this to say that as soon as i came here i purposely got myself banned from Gamespot.
I don't use any gaming news sites anymore. I just browse forums.
Edit: actually I do visit eurogamer for some articles and reviews, I think they're consistent, I liked their digital foundry as well
I do use gamefaqs' board every once in a while, some of them could be more active than GiantBomb when it comes to individual games.
I did just now because this thread reminded me of it.
Probably won't visit it for another 6 months, now. I visit IGN just as frequently. All I visit now is NeoGAF, GB, and Wired GameLife.
" I go there to troll This place is no fun to troll "I will admit that trolling Gamefaqs is fun.
Gamespot, what is a gamespot? Hold on... googling... wiki page... firing Gerstmann... why would you fire Gerstmann?
Hahaha! I go to IGN and Giant Bomb over Gamespot. I don't like Gamespots tone, nor their shows. The only times I go there, are to hop over to Gamefaqs. Besides all the cool people came to Giant Bomb.
I do but only to see what news they break. I think they try to hard to go against the grain and make stupid decisions to cause discussion about them.
I was boycotting them for several years after they canned Jeff. But now they have new owners and management, and so I recently started listening to the Hot Spot again just to see what it was like now. Wasn't too bad... I still like Brendan Sinclair and Justin Calvert, but obviously the Bombcast is where the Magic is at now.
I just left after my account was banned unjustly and there's no way I'll be going back there. I've only had a membership on this site for a day and already I can tell that these boards are much more entertaining than gamespots.
" @Jaconius said:I started listening to GFW Radio, and creating a blank profile on 1UP. Then they all left, and I ended up finding the Arrow Pointing Down Podcast." Am i the only person on here who didn't start at GameSpot? "No, I started here with the Wow beverage episode. "
I went to Gamespot after E3 2010 to look for clips from their stage show (which they use to set up nicely) and found it difficult to navigate this year. So i'll probably never go back from here on out.
I hate most game sites so, no, I don't. Ever. 1Up and Kotaku are about the only other sites I bother with outside of Giant Bomb and I think 1Up is just for the podcasts.
yea, I use there forum a lot more then I use this one (almost 30K posts...so sad :( ) Really I only made my account here because jeff vinny ryan and Brad are the funniest, coolest dudes in the industry. and then I just kinda fell in love with all the other features
i only went for the hotspot to listen to rich,jeff,ryan,and mostly brad (vinnie never showed up that much)
