" @Icemael: On a ten point scale .1 increments are a lot to me.
@DER: Whatever you say there buddy... "
Fuck it, if your going to be ignorant, I better go out with a bang.
You said "My only real problem with the review was that what they were saying and what they gave it didn't correlate".
You supported this statement by quoting Gametrailers in their video review, i.e "one of the most polished games we'ver ever played" and "nothing like it on PS3" and "addicting polished multiplayer" , and made the statement that this praise and a 9.3 wasn't kosher (and whether your going keep pulling the "it was an opinion not an argument" crap is of no variable in this conversation).
I responded saying that you quoted only the positives of the review, and left out the fact Gametrailers said it was "totally unoriginal"
Rather than acknowledging this fact, you replyied saying YOU thought it was original and gave some examples why YOU thought it was.
IT DOES'T MATTER IF YOU FELT IT WAS ORIGINAL OR NOT, THE POINT IS THAT GAMETRAILERS DIDN"T, WHICH IMPACTED THEIR REVIEW SCORE OF THE GAME, WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IN YOUR REASONING FOR YOUR "OPINION".
If you reply to this in any sort of way that disagrees with any point I have made here, you are absent of common logic.
@LiquidPrince: "My only real problem with the review was that what they were saying and what they gave it didn't correlate". This was your argument. You supported it by mentioning their praise for the game, while leaving out the fact that they said it was totally unoriginal about half a dozen times throughout the review.
Then you tried to say that YOU felt the game was original, and i simply pointed out that how YOU felt about the game didn't support your argument above.
" If anybody wants to have a good laugh, look at the Gametrailers Uncharted 2 Review's comments. Basically, all the PS3 Fanboys have centered around the review for giving it a 9.3. Here's one of my favorite comments: "GT fails at reviewing. I can't say anything about the game, because I haven't played it yet, but when a game, which has a 97 metacritic sore gets 9.3 and Halo 3 which has a 94 metacritic score gets 9.7 you know that something is wrong... I'm not a fanboy of any console, in fact I own both a 360 and a PS3 and I love 'em, but I can't help but notice time and time again that GT is just a bunch of 360 fanboys playing some games together and getting money for it...." "
I don't see much wrong with that statement except for him mentioning that GT fails. I generally like GT's reviews, but I do find that they usually underrate PS3 games like MGS4 or Uncharted 2, while overrating some of the 360 games. My only real problem with the review was that what they were saying and what they gave it didn't correlate. With quotes like "one of the most polished games we'ver ever played" and "nothing like it on PS3" and "addicting polished multiplayer" you'd expect a much higher score. "
they also said "completely unoriginal" "
There is rarely such a thing as originality in game development. Most "original games" are games that take concepts from other games, and mash them up well into something new. Uncharted has created something like that I'd say, since we've never really had a game that focuses on cover gameplay with a healthy mix of puzzle solving and platforming. That seems original enough to me. "
Well you dont work at Gametrailers, so i don't see how saying you "think" the game is original helps your argument. The point is that they felt it wasn't. That is why they gave it a horrible, below average score of 9.3.

" yes, sony fanboys are the worst. and all of them are bitching that there is "AH MEGAH SPOLAH!!111" in it. I watched it, and not having played the first game, it isnt obvious (ie they dont say "so this douchebag turns on you). im guessing it was a scene when a dude pointed a gun in the other dudes face. "
All fanboys are incredibly terrible, but Ive actually noticed far more MS fanboys are far worse than Sony ones by a mile. "
I think it's because they have MasterChief who pretty much represents Microsoft. "
Your average Microsoft fanboy is a 8-12 year old kid that is immature, annoying, and had his mommy buy his xbox and every single fucking game he owns. Your average Sony fanboy is some punk in his late teens/early 20s who is asshurt because Fox news didn't cover the release of MGS4 on his superior system.
I really don't care because i don't play that much anymore, but Sony is worse.
