Gamespot > Giantbomb?

" no, i use to be a memeber until i joined gaintbomb. i'm banned there so i can't go there anymore. they are scricted there for some reason. they can be touchy on some subjects. gaintbomb the mods dont' really care because this site is a small community full of great people. "

the title of this topic is a lie. i've been a member of gamespot for about 5 years and once i learned of giant bomb i switched almost permanently to giant bomb. i only use gamespot occasionally when im looking for more content. last week on giant bomb was particularly slow for content.

The only times I've ever been to Gamespot in the last few years is if I go there accidentally from clicking on a source button from another site's story. There's plenty of sites for general coverage.

Gamespot has a horrible community filled with 4chan rejects.

Much of the site(gamespot) has went to hell. The only thing I like better is the classic forum layout. The reviews, videos, and actual community aspect of Giantbomb are better.

"Gamespot has a horrible community filled with 4chan rejects. "

No a use a proper news site like Dtoid or Kotaku, fuck Gamespot, it's too fake.

Words don't describe how much I dislike the mods in the Gamespot Off Topic section.  
 
There was especially this one mod who had a Stone Cold Steve Austin avatar....I don't remember his username, but I extremely dislike his attitude and his overall dictatorship rule over that forum. 

I'm also a member of both sites and I have been using GameSpot for about 10 years but I've been using it less ever since the original staff left the site.

nope.

I was a member of Gamespot once, but that was a long time ago now. at one point in my life I just decided that I really dident like any of the people on gamespot so I decided to leave there and I never really came back. But now for me I go to Game trailers for all my news and what not and then I go to giant bomb for just all the crazy shit that they have that makes me laugh so I would say that Gaint bomb is way better then gamespot ever really was even in the old days.

no

Doesn't Gamespot fire reviewers who give give negative reviews to games that drop tons of money on advertisements on Gamespot ?

" @JIT3893: Most people here won't agree with you for the simple fact that they support this site the most. I do believe that you have a good point and I agree with you. There are times that I need to find a review or interview about a game that Giantbomb would simply never cover. The simple, but scary, fact is that there are definitely games out there that are good, but are not covered here and people will gladly look over them just because of some weird hatred for Gamespot. I know I'm going to get hate, specific demands like "oh yeah, name one game!", etc. but I had to let you know that you are not wrong. I would appreciate only a response from you, but I know that others may respond as I stated above so I'll simply only answer those who respond in reasonable manners. "

Oh God no.

Nope.  Nothing against Gamespot, it's just that I don't see any reason to join the site.  If I have anything to say or am looking for any type of help, I have the GB community and they can be pretty knowledgeable (as long as you don't ask them to do math.)  I, too, use other sites for up to the minute news.  Joystiq is my preferred site, but I'll drop in on Kotaku, Shacknews and Destructoid when something is going on or some hot game is coming out.  IGN is the only one I avoid if possible.  The construction of their site is just a mess in my opinion.  There is no reason you need to stick with just one site if you enjoy jumping around.  Me, I prefer centralization, but everyone has a right to express themselves as they see fit.

Just letting JIT know, they locked and moderated me on GS because you posted this here.  They thought I copied it from you.  Pretty sloppy moderation if you ask me.

I stopped using Gamespot years ago. 
 
Now only sites i go on dealing with gaming are Here, GameTrailers, & Steam

No.

Yep.    But still the credibility of Gamespot is pretty low.  "

Giantbomb is way better than Gamespot IMO. Giantbomb has personality and tons of awesome video content that no other website can match. If I want pure information and generic videos, I can go to IGN or 1UP, which I prefer over Gamespot.

Did you just make this post to get attention? Seriously it's like me going on a hockey forum and saying Soccer>Hockey?

Once you gain a big following, bad reviews cost people money, so GS can't give out well deserved scathing reviews...they have to tone it down and highlight the strengths of the game.  I miss Alex Navarro's video reviews, they were so classic and he always got the 'bad' games.

" Nah. Giantbomb is the only site that makes me feel all tingly inside. "

" No. "

No.

I used to be a huge fan of Gamespot. I even paid for the annual fee for a year. Around the time Jeff left/let go(whatever) I left the site and went to kotaku.com until giant bomb started. I used to really like GS, but the daily show/weekly show they had went down hill. I will now go to giantbomb for the videos,forums, and of course the podcast. Kotaku.com for gaming news. Also gametrailers.com for the videos. Mostly giantbomb.com

Never.

I think if you knew the history of this site, you wouldn't be asking this question. :)
 
Its an absolute solid no by the way.

you know for some reason alex gives me a tom green vibe idk

Gamespot brought the business during E3, stage demos were the best things ever.

nopeee

fuck no hoe!
