It's amazing how many people have responded along these same lines. Sorry,  I asked the GB community a question.  "

I called it idiotic because everything in your OP is wrong and just down right silly. I'm going to repeat what probably has already been said in this thread: 

• Just because you disagree with Brad's opinion does not mean he is wrong. His points were well backed up and (generally) valid. He didn't say anything completely dumb like 'graphics are shit' or 'the controls are bad' (although I did think he whined way too much about the menu and map system)
• If you've been looking at the forums and review sections in recent months, a lot of the GB community think the 5 star rating system doesn't work. So you're just posting something everyone already knows about
• Complaining about how it gets the same score as games like 50 cent Blood on the sand is dumb as well. That review  (and most other reviews) have been done by other staff, and its a completely different game. Reviews on this site are pretty much incomparable. 
• The score of the review doesn't matter that much. The review itself is a lot more important

 
Oh yeah, and that sly comment that you asked the GB community, not people like me? Ouch, yeah. That really hurt my feelings. If you don't like the reviews here, you're free to go somewhere else. There is nothing stopping you.

Actually I think he did mean to insinuate that Brad's points were tantamount to saying 'ahh the graphics are shite and i hate this game, I die toogodddamn to much"  So yeah, guess he's got a point there....     "

" @mfpantst: Don't just count, check. Beauty has previously commented on several videos and a review, which don't get added to the post count. If you're trying to claim Beauty is a single-purpose account, I do believe you're mistaken. Beauty simply doesn't post here very often. "

you could always cry more, i hear they change review scores when you shed bitch tears

STOP MESSING WITH MY HEAD

this is quite silly.  possibly the most deranged post ever.
 
3 star game does not equal all other 3 star games, i'm sorry but you will have to READ reviews. 
  
lits like giving a chicken dinner a 3 star review, then saying to retract it because broccoli had 3 stars and you hate broccoli. 
each has to be taken in its own merits. 

It's reviews like this where I would love if GB had the time and staffing to do a 2nd opinion on reviews, so there might be a point/counterpoint on even some of the games. 
For example, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but when Brad and Vinny were doing the quicklook on the DS art game, they talked about Fable III for a moment, and I'd swear that Brad sounded surprised at how much Vinny said he was enjoying the game. I think that generally comes through in the bombcast, but there are certainly  times I wouldn't mind getting even a paragraph from one of the other staff, to have something in writing.

Ok so I actually went and counted.  You had replied to this thread once when @Ace829 posted his comment.  That's not even  close to the standard colloquial definition of a 'few' times.  Counting your reply to his comment and another reply posted at the same time, plus one from just a minute ago you have now replied 4 times.  That's a few times.  However, you have replied 4 times to a topic 189 replies long that you started.  That's pretty sad and I would reiterate Ace's comments.  Apparently successful troll IS successful.   edit:Also- since you have claimed to have another 'active' profile, so the one post count doesn't really 'count', I looked at your contributions other than this with your new profile.  None.  That's right, none.  So other than trolling this post you've been pretty useless...  "

Pretty sure 4 counts as "a few".    And will someone explain to me what "trolling" is so I can respond back to these fools? "

Can we maybe just let this thread go? We've all had a good kick at this guy for more then a decade of pages. Let's really not get this to twenty.

That's up to you to decide. WHat you fail to realize that reviews are opinion pieces and you the reader have to decide whether you agree or disagree.  You cannot come and say that one review given puts the entire site's integrity. Games are reviewed by different people with different testes. I hardly think you are going to get a re-review of Brads review of Fable 3. I don't think they actually have the time to do that. So you are down to accepting the score Brad gave it and move on. If you feel that this review has put the integrity of this web site at jeopardy then you always have the option of not visiting it. If you like GB that much then you will all you can say is that you disagree and that's that.  "

 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.
 

Fable 2 was definitely a 4 star game and I haven't seen anyone say this feels as good so doesn't 3 stars make sense when compared to that.

I think if enough people felt a re-review was a good idea, the staff of GB would hear what the community was saying and discuss it, not just ignore it. And as a member of this community I have an option to voice my opinion and see if others agree, contrary to your menu of options.  "

And though I still disagree with Beauty's original post, I also stand by my earlier statement about how poorly the Giant Bomb community is reacting to this. For shame, Giant Bomb.

As a great number of people have mentioned, its all based on opinion.  Personally, i agree 100% with his score, because of his reasons are very accurate, just like Jeff's New Vegas review.  I absolutely loved Fable 2, but they tried so hard to streamline certain parts of it, that it took away greatly from the overall experience.  I think its a four star game, whose interface and other problems brought down its score.  Like in New Vegas, which is a five star game, which got dropped due to really major technical issues.  I know people who love the series, who traded it back in before beating it because the issues were so great and frequent.

Going to close this down, seeing as how it's just being used for users to trade insults. Anyway, there is always someone who disagrees with a review. My suggestion is to get over it because the score isn't going to be changed.
