Who cares? Leave 'em alone.


This site is awesome as it is. No need to bring another site into it.

Long live GiantBomb
and 1up, Cag & Destructoid"


The Gamespot podcast is pretty horrible I mean at least Jeff and later Vinny were there to take over after the awesomeness that was Rich but after that there was just no one left that was good enough. I mean Tor's kinda funny and all but I feel that he kinda changed the feel of the Hotspot in a bad way.

Although I will miss the old one, I'm not too unhappy about this. I think I can get used to it :D

Lost a little, shazzam (or whatever term you say) I think. That kind of thing doesn't really work for Gamespot.

GameSpot has really been hit hard after all of the departures. I like the new design though, but I really wish they can find somebody else to host, On The Spot.

I don't like the new design that much but I'll get used to is. I hear they're going to redesign the forums too.

I think it's a bit...odd. Looks more harsh I think. But perhaps it just takes some time to get used to it after having stared upon the old design for so many years. Seems like they've pretty much kept the layout. Don't really see the need for this redesign. 540p streaming video is nice though. Weird how the forums are still using the old design.

This will be great news, I really dislike how the message board look!

 Looks lie it launched officially? I dropped over there yesterday to watch their Force Unleashed stuff and it seemed to be implemented. I really like it a lot, the extra space is nice and high res videos are MUCH needed. The design overall gets a gold star from me. However, all the good design in the world can't save your site if the editorial content is crap, which is why I no longer visit GS.

There was no need to bump this, we've been through this hundreds of times. GS is not ripping off GB

The mod told me I could. In fact, he directed me here.

If you search "gamespot" in the forum search, you'll notice they all have something in common.

But here I'm nice enough to link you to a GS thread that's still open

If this is all you guys are going to talk about then I'm just going to lock it and not redirect anyone anywhere

  I think it needs to be locked, to be honest. I'm just tired of seeing talk about Gamespot here.
