Thought you would've learned to ignore Brad's reviews by now.

" Fucking scores, how do they work?!? "

You are an idiot, OP.  Your "search for a higher score" is fucking idiotic.

all these fuckin reviewers makin me pissed "

So what you're saying is that the review is part of history, but you want history changed now?

After i read the review i watched the Quick Look, and the stuff Brad was complaining about in the review about the map and menu system didn't seem like such a bad thing to me. 
 
I suggest everyone watch the Quick Look, if the menu stuff doesn't bother you then i think this game will be great for you. That and the last couple hours of the game seemed to be the biggest downfall of the game from Brad's review.

I love Fable 3, I think it's easily one of the best games released this year..  pushed just aside by Mass Effect 2.
 
But it definitely has flaws and it's not a game for everyone, I could definitely understand how it would only be a 3 out of 5 for some people, and it's a shame if anyone is passing it up just because of GB's review.  But it doesn't need to be changed or "appealed".  Though I will say that I think it was a somewhat unfair review.  There's always going to be an element of opinion in anything like this, but I do believe reviewers should try to be a bit more unbiased towards games.  Then again, it's why I tend to like most of GB's reviews.

3 was generous, that game was totally a "cash it in, and move on" kinda project. None of the ambition of the first two fables.  
 
Fun game, but damn is it flawed in parts.

Most people who read reviews don't stop at the star rating, theres an entire page of text telling you its a great game with a few avoidable interface issues.

If you enjoy the Fable games then go and buy them. Don't let any review mess with your decision and this goes for anyone. I was disappointed to see Final Fantasy XIII get 3 stars, but did that keep me from buying the game? Fuck no. I don't read reviews at all. Unless it's a new IP that I never heard about. A game that I feel iffy on.

appeal it? no. just no.

" op = 1/5 stars  ask me to adjust that review "

Wow, no...just no.  Game scores mean absolutely nothing as you should be reading the content of the reviews and not basing the game on the score alone. If you think Fable 3 is an amazing game the great, do your own review and give it 5 stars. Otherwise it doesn't matter, Brad's review still made me want to get the game knowing now what is going to be dumb and what is going to be good.  He stated that everything that is Fable is still in the game and that's all I want from a Fable game.  I've lived with Fallout: New Vegas' technical difficulties and I think I'll live with Fable 3's bizarre design choices.  

The difference between GiantBomb and sites like Gamespot are simple: Gamespot tries to hide the fact that their reviews are opinions--holding them at some sort of 'factual truth.' It's very clear from the start that any and all GiantBomb reviews are what reviews should be: analytical opinion pieces on a piece of entertainment. 
 
While I disagree with Brad's review, that doesn't mean that it holds less value for me. It was fun to read, and he made a few good points. I know what I like. I know what Brad likes. And his complaints weren't a problem that concerned me. That's how you should read a review. Not as some godlike, objective rating of a game.

 But fundamentally I disagree, I think it the public will view this as GB's review, and not just Brad's opinion.  

To answer your question, you cannot appeal a GB review.  I have not played fable 3 but plan on picking it up soon no matter what anyone else rated it because i own both 1 and 2 and enjoyed them both.

It just looks like another generic Fable game. If it's anything like Fable or Fable II, 3 stars is apt.

As has been said there's no form you can fill in to change Brad's opinion.

write your own review?

You must defeat Brad in a mustache contest to stand a chance.

LOL

A game that gets the same score as another game may not necessarily mean it's on the exact same quality level.

Shenmue - "7.8"

Editor's note: The preceding review is a re-evaluation of Shenmue on GameSpot - the original score overlooked certain significant features that, after consideration, invalidated the original score that the game received. GameSpot regrets the error.

" I love this website, its staff and its community. But as someone who identifies with this site, I dont want the History to show that Fable 3 got the same score as games like Mafia 2 and 50 cents Blood on the Sand. It's got some issues, but there is no way it is a peer to other 3 star GB games, check out some of the other titles that got 3 star reviews.  
 
All I am asking is how do we get the GB guys to consider adjusting the score?  "

hey i like fable 3 and cannot give it less then a 4 outta 5, but  that is brads opinion he shouldn't change it because of what other people think because it then ceases to be his opinion.

What does Brads opinion have to do with yours man? If you liked the game then its a five star game in your brain my man, and thats all that really matters.

Christ. It's just a review. 

And no, you can't appeal it.

Adorable.  
 
Games that have the same scores are not equivalent to one another, it's just a very broad category.  Also, I loved 50 Cent and Dead Rising 2, and am willing to accept that they have glaring flaws.

" You don't, its based on opinion.  I agree wth them, it is a 3 star game.  Edit - Oh and great job on your first post being this. "

You have to file a complaint with the Giant Bomb Office of Complaints and a filing fee of $500.  Your complaint will then be forwarded to the Giant Bomb Board of Appeals, who will carefully consider your case and make a decision.  Due to the backlog, expect a delay of 2-3 years. 

" @LiquidPrince: I hope you are joking. "

You've gotta be kidding me. 

The halfway point. An inherent appreciation of this game's specific gameplay style, characters, subject matter, and so on may play as big a role in your enjoyment as the actual quality of the game.

" op = 1/5 stars  ask me to adjust that review "

I consider it a solid 4 star game as well. But the review is supposed to be Brad's personal opinion on the game, not an objective statement of fact. Ignore the score, read the review for some of the entirely justified observations Brad makes, and just form your own opinion.

OPINION dumbass.

Send Brad a PM. But you have to call him a poopy head, otherwise, he won't take it seriously.
