Judging from the OP, this boxart won that poll?
I hope so, was the best of the bunch. I like it a lot.

I want reviewers to use the full scale as well as putting more thought and effort into their reviews as well as being more critical. They just need to give anywhere from a 9-10 to any game that I'm anticipating, i dont care about any other game. Is that too hard to ask for?
I have it on PC now. I haven't played Bioshock 2's multi since I hit the first level cap they had. Man, I don't know why I enjoyed it the way I did but I did have some fun in it.
I'm sorry i just can't get into games that require nothing of me.
I think Monday is the day reviews are coming IIRC.
I knew the lack of multiplayer would lead to lower scores.
At least I can rest easy knowing this will be as good as Jade Empire.
Now what a mindfuck of a game to bring up in a thread like this. What a piece of shit.
The game I mean.

C'mon, Ami, baby, you say that, yet I know you liked The Thousand-Year Door. *crosses arms*I'm sorry i just can't get into games that require nothing of me.
Seriously, I know where you're coming from -- the original was light on content -- but LM2 looks to be upping the player's involvement a fair bit, with invisible shit you search out with a special light, and more to the ghost-wrangling, like having to jolt them with electricity in addition to stunning them with the light and weakening them with the "fishing." Boss battles are said to be exceptionally clever and unique, too, with a lot to them.
SURRENDER TO WEEGEE.
Yeah, but it's worse than Uncharted 3, the most emotional and heartbreaking game ever made.
As told by Gregario Millerasitano
I still remember the day that review went up. I was 19 years old and an active poster on the G4 forums. I was fucking PIIIIISSSED. (Bitching about reviews of games I haven't played, yet, but I was young!).
Then I played it a few days later and wasn't all that impressed. It was good, but not KOTOR good, and certainly not mothafuckin' 9.9 good.
It's my decided least favorite review to this day.
Don't hate on another classic game from Bioware, the kings of the RPG genre and definitely not someone who enjoys using racial stereotypes un-ironically.
I'm with Amirox on that one at least until I can have definitive proof it's different from 1. The first game was basically a kid's game with how little it offered anyone who passed the 8th grade. It was a glorified tech demo, but at least it did that right and was damned pretty for its time.
And GTA 4's oscar worthy story.
Jade Empire's review was classic. I loved Jeff Gerstmann's Twilight princess review if for no other reason than EVERYONE fucking came at him for that shit, and it turned out his review was closest to the average online perspective on Twilight Princess.
I liked it a lot, but an 8.8 was an amazing score and people were like "HOW DARE HE" lol

One tenth of a point better than Metroid Prime!

Awesome, cheers.
Also, one tenth of a point better than Resident Evil 4.

I don't get why it's a 9.9 though. I mean, at this point, just go all the way. Stupid decimal system.
What was the consensus on Jade Empire, anyway? I think KotoR sucked up all the Bioware Xbox RPG love, much to Derrick's chargin

This and Uncharted 3 are why I say we save the review meltdowns for console-exclusive games. Soooooo much more hilarious. All the fanboys get in on that. It's amazing.
DAMN. BETTAH PLAY DIS SUMBITCH.
The only thing about the JE review worse than the 9.9, is that it's 6 God damn pages long. Who wants to read that much shit, just tell me if it's any fucking good or not. That was the poor days before broadband internet became common-place and they felt it necessary to drone on for ages that nobody in the world actually had the attention span to read.

All of IGN reviews were like that back in the day. Just go on for fucking ever about every little damn thing.

I want this game. Like now. Fuck I'm hyped.
And thats what I loved about them.
I couldn't read past a page or two of even my most anticipated games. It's just too much.
I'm beyond thankful that we live in an age of 3-5 minute video reviews.
True. Now I feel old.
Anybody remember the Halo 3 video review? Lol.

Shit was 15 minutes, lol. I was so hype for that damn game in '07, along with Super Mario Galaxy. And HL2: Ep.2
Fuck Galaxy. In fact, fuck all of the 3D Mario games.
Crucify me. Burn me at the stake. Do it.
They're the fucking worst.

I'm right there with you. Loved the game and would give anything for a sequel.
*sniff* And I thought you were the one!
God that was the worst. I don't remember reading a single comment (apart from my own) in Jeff's defense. Gamespot and IGN really have the worst communities in gaming. Gamespot had a great staff though (most of whom moved on to Giant Bomb).
And of course, naturally, after all the hype died down, almost everyone's final verdict ended up being about 8.8 .

We might be able to get along after all.
One last test: Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas?

It still baffles me how a gameplay centric title such as Mario Galaxy would even be considered bad to you.
Yeah, it was truly unbelievable. He even received death threats from those idiotic fanboys. And, they hadn't even played the fucking game.
It's Orangy-Kun. A play on a character from an anime with a small plotline related to oranges.

Plans have been arranged. I personally find galaxy a tad bit overated but calling them bad or lumping the others with it is nonsense.
I'll never get how you got your tag.

I didn't even check the quote at first but KNEW this was about Jeff and Twilight Princess. What a joke. 8.8 was totally fine, even a little generous.
He is a walking contradiction.
