Gamespot migraters

So i guess alot of you are gamespot migraters huh? Well do you think this site is better or not? I mean you can swear, and it has bigger avatars, but its missing unions. I dont know wether to stay or not, what do you think?

lol another topic about gamespot, but yes welcome to GB :)

Make your own choice. GS topics are getting old, and if you think pathetic unions are the key to a great website, then I don't think many people will stop you. As for what we should tell you, obviously we'll say stay it's a bias choice because this is the website and we are the community that is supporting it.

It's way better than GS especially because the moderators aren' so anal.

I'm one of the few who are not from Gamespot

I came here yesterday and I will be posting a lot more on here than Gamespot from now on.

I think it's pretty snazzy.

I don't think any site is better, although i will say that tis place can be pretty active.

"personally i think Giant Bomb is better. i was gettig sick of gamespot anyway"

I think it's awesome that this site is setup so that we can generate the content ourselves.  The forums, I really like how the favorites are handled, are great.  This GiantBomb seems like much more community site, and I really like that aspect of it.

When will threads about gamspot stop?!

For fucks sake we used to be there, we're here now and shut the fuck up about it.

I was a loyal Gamespot subscriber until the mass exodus.  CNet can say all they want, and I know the former employees of the site signed an agreement not to talk about it, but I think it's clear that CNet's management wanted to use Gamespot more for marketing and generating revenue than upholding its journalistic integrity.  Strike number one. 

The management also underestimated how loyal the core base can be.  I turned to Gamespot over its competitors because of guys like Gerstmann, Davis, Kasavin, Navarro, etc., etc.  Once those guys were gone, so was the soul of the site.  Just go to Gamespot now... it's still busy, but something is missing.  Strike two.

Gerstmann then gathers a group of the best guys in gaming journalism and launches a new site... that's Gamespot's third strike.

Now, with this site, you have a site run by guys who know what is great about being a gamer.  They understand that you can leave news to Kotaku and Joystiq.  You can leave the exclusive previews to sites and magazines willing to whore themselves for a sneak peek.  What you get here is hard-core gamers calling it like they see it, and as long as Gerstmann and company are in charge of the editorials, you know they are going to be honest and justified, even if you or I don't agree.

By giving the power to passionate users to contribute substantially to the content on the site, you're going to get something that eclipses other sites.

So what if there are no unions yet.  That can be added.  But honestly, aside from the Community Contributions union on Gamespot, did any of the unions actually serve a purpose??

I'm sticking with Giant Bomb.  In three years, the volume and quality of the content on here will be insane.

..we can sware?

I prefer Gamespot right now. Only down to the fact I am more comfortable with it and it is able to supply us with more coverage of events like E3. The guys down an amazing job with the daily podcast however and if things are soo great this early on then I cannot wait to see hwere we all are in a year or so.

It will depend on whether or not you get suspended for calling someone an idiot, especially when you couldn't be more right. That is why Gamespot forums blow (not to mention they're still full of bugs).

Albaker go fuck yourself you idiot. Im aloud to post whatever the fuck i want to. If you cant deal with it then piss off.

I agree, and the unions just complicated everything even more

The more I use Giant Bomb the better it becomes in my opinion. Not forgetting the site only launched a few days ago Im really impressed and the only thing i miss from Gamespot are Unions.

The Unions sucked IMO. They died after a certain point and became useless. I like this place more.

This place is easier in getting around, but its missing something.

I still hang round there sometimes

I am now done with gamespot, this is my new go to site for gaming.

I've probably spent a whole 10 minutes of my entire life on GameSpot. I've been using IGN for as long as I've had the internet. But when the whole shit at CNet and GS hit the fan, I started to read Gerstmann's blog and followed the whole thing from there. I don't really have an opinion on the GS thing, but at least you won't have to worry about it happening again. I think it's safe to assume this site is much more laid back than GS will ever be. I'll definitely be sticking around here. It's going to be awesome to watch this site go from a little blog to a massive gaming encyclopedia-cum-news site.

It hasnt even been up for a week and your comparing it to a full GS which has been going for years? C'mon. This place is taking over, just give them time. They already won me over before the full site launched :)

I'm loving this wayyyy more than GS

the forum needs moderators. then we'll see.

Well because the 4 masters of GB were why I was at gamespot in the first place, personally I got to say GB is the place to be. But on a side note this is more of an indie site, and indie sites need the love.

I'm never going back to gamespot. Ever. I hope its a ghost town over there.

I like the community a similar amount, things are pretty similar though. I prefer this since you can edit the site though.

I like this site alot more.

I love the new site. It is my new gaming home. Here people actually know who I am. I have a lot of friends, and I love the community based theme. We can edit stuff and help out with the site.

This site blows (no pun intended) Game spot out of the Water. It is a much cooler site, with much better tools for photos and I love the Wiki system. When Greg Kasavin left Gamespot the site quality went down a lot. Then when Jeff Gertsman got fired in the ridiculous thing on Kane and Lynch the site just lost what little pride it had left. This site kicks ass.

Its not like unions are a big deal anymore, anyways. I'm starting to like GB over Gamespot.

I don't think it better than GS but in due time it probably will be.
