Hah!  CBS wants their monies, and Kevin V. is coming to Giant Bomb!

You know, I kind of like it when reviewers say, "screw it," a give a game a "bad" score because they feel it deserves it.   
 
Also, anyone with any brains should realize that 7.5 is not a "bad" score. Don't complain. I know the point of this topic isn't about the score, but I know there's going to be tons of people whining about it.

KvO is a cool guy.

This has happened before. Most likely he left out an important detail or forgot to put something in.

I haven't been to Gamespot in a while, but Justin Calvert seems like a cool dude doubt there's anything shady going on.

I'm not so sure it's a case of the review being pulled or rather a case that one part of the site hasn't visually updated to represent the information present on another part of the site. 

Is it that broken?

looks like it's back up.

Main story isn't compelling?  Fuck are they smoking?

Gamespots rating system is fucking terrible.

I thought they had a review up a couple days ago at the 9 level.  But their website still appears to be broken.  google cache..

A 7.5 is a fair score, there's nothing wrong with that. Its very dependent on the reviewer as well. 
 
I like how people complain when other sites give high scores for a overrated game, but then also complain when they give a low score. Are you guys really that bitchy?

Its up again anywho.

PS3 still not up.

Who gives a shit what GameSpot thinks? All this means is that Bethsda's last check bounced.

This has been going on for a good while.  Adam Sessler talks about it in his latest Soapbox and I totally agree with what he says.

The ign review is pretty shocking, its glowing and manages to completely omit any mention of technical issues. I'm all for loving fallout, but you can't just disregard it's flaws.

This isn't about the score. Maybe it matters to the publisher, but it wasn't about that initially. It was about the disappearance of the review. "

Just get it on PC if you don't want the bugs. One simple download fixed a majority of the problems. mods ftw. Even with the bugs I don't think the game deserved a 7.5

I'm glad they're sticking with KVO's original score. He's a very thorough, fair, and open-minded reviewer so I really doubt he dropped the ball on this one.

I noticed something fishy was going in there. 
 
Gamespot is getting shadier by the minute.

Its not gamespots fault that the game sucked. It had so many issues it should have gotten a lower score.

Why I think game reviews should be release a week after release

They were waiting for the check to hit the bank. The early posting was a mistake.

LOL, people need to let the whole "reviewers getting paid off" thing alone.. just stop. 
 
The site fucked up and the game got the score it got, and the game was broken, some reviewers can look past it, and still acknowledge it (GB and IGN) and some sites dont (GS), it's all opinions. But the game got patched today so maybe some sites will put up a second opinion or something, who knows.

If reviewers could pull back a review because of patches, what would happend to MMO's?

I don't care about gamespot. I think they are unreliable, and in my mind this kind of supports that.

well, I don't get any reference from gaming websites for what it is good or not. what the importance is me. if I like game, that will be fine. if it is not, it is sucks no matter what these websites give it high score or not. their reviews are personal. so it is various how they look at the game for review. so it's just not really. honestly, fallout new vegas still remains shitty graphic, old engine like fallout 3. texture is ugly. playing through is so boring. I can't play this for more than two hours. why I am easily bored. open land, so wide, it's all about exploration. it's nice. but I might lose all purpose. I think that I have to uninstall this shit. it's not mine. I want some dynamic playing to get continued excitement. two days ago, I just restarted dead space. it's way way better than this shitty game. whether you disagree with me or not, it doesn't matter. it's my opinion. don't argue.
