Seriously 8.8 is just about as low as you can go with Zelda without recieving death threats. Thats how much people love the series

I think their logic was fine, He was critical before of the company, the system, and the game and he still gave it a high score.tr1p1ea wrote:I think the problem people have is that the games deserves a nice score and it deserves to be reviewed by someone who isnt anti-Nintendo.
Its just that GameSpot should know better. They are a massive entertainment portal, who make lots and lots of money from being so ... being morons trying to get more hits.
MIDI?The lowest score given so far is from GameSpot, which gave the Wii version an 8.8/10 score. The reviewer complained about the feeling of "tacked-on" Wii controls and dated graphics, a consequence of the game being designed primarily for the older Gamecube platform. The review is also notable for creating flame wars on the GameSpot message boards, which resulted in a later Soapbox posting sarcastically addressing the complaints[66]As well as with the graphics, some complained about the use of FM synthesis (MIDI) for the music rather than fully orchestrated songs, and the absence of voice-acting.
Kotaku, These guys dry-hump nintendo and bash sony for a living. They gave a similar score, A-. So fanboys think A-, non-fanboy thinks B+. Seems reasonable to mii.tr1p1ea wrote:Also i knew that someone was going to bring up the point of 'he is harsh on Nintendo therefore him reviewing is logical etc...' That would be fair enough if the review was completely objective (or as much so as possible *especially* from a 'professional' games reviewer).
Graphics count to the quality of the game. Its foolish to think otherwise.tr1p1ea wrote:It appears to me that although some people say they prefer gameplay over graphics, they are really only just saying that.
If GoW wins GOTY, will the G stand for Game or Graphics?
Maybe, but they do turn an ordinary game into a great game. I point to many fighting games as my reference on this. Mortal Kombat would be nearly as loved if it weren't for the Special moves or Fatalities. Both in gameplay are utterly worthless and yet so often are they used merely for the enjoyment of seeing them.tr1p1ea wrote:I never said graphics arent important. I like pretty graphics as much as the next guy, in fact i wish the Wii was more powerful graphically. That said, they certainly dont turn an ordinary game into an awesome one.
It doesn't deserve anything. But before thinking bias is inherently evil, imagine what it would mean if even an anti-Nintendo nerd gave it a high score like an 8.8...I think the problem people have is that the games deserves a nice score and it deserves to be reviewed by someone who isnt anti-Nintendo.
