" Yeah, sometimes I think Jeff doesn't think about how much influence he really has before he speaks. Yeah, he has the right to speak his opinion, but the fact that people seem to take a lot of his complaints as fact is annoying. Especially since he has a habit of having games break on him in ways they never seem to break for anyone else. "
Jeff sugar coating in any way his own opinions would be the worst thing that could happen to this site. People are largely attracted to this site because they want to hear his (and the other guys) opinions, and trust them to a certain extent (for good reason). People rely on sites like these because they can't buy every game to find out if it's good or not, so naturally a lot of people are going to based some of their buying decisions based on his recommendations. This isn't wrong, it's natural for anyone who goes to a site to listen to others opinions. I'm not saying we should have horse blinders on, but it's perfectly okay if some people are turned off a game by Jeff's opinion.
I often hear about the relative difficulty of Halo Legendary campaigns. I would love for someone who knows best to chip in on the order of difficulty from top to bottom of Halo Legendary campaigns. This would make me happy.
Reading the chapter summaries will give you a better idea of what is happening than the cut-scenes themselves. This is mostly due to the explanations of characters feelings and motivations that aren't communicated nearly as well in the game itself. Everything else doesn't really matter that much.
I used to frequent Gamespot, but was never an active member and didn't know who anyone was. I just went to check out reviews out of interest. The first person whos identity I ever learned was Jeff when he got the boot, and a few months later I wondered whatever happened to him. I looked up his name on google and found his blog. Fast forward to several months later and I was there to put my actual name as my username for the first time ever when the site launched :) I didn't start commenting until about a year after I joined though.
Well, on single games and certain franchises the Wikia sites have Giantbomb beat 100 times over, so in some ways GB isn't the most in depth, although it is still the biggest.
