Anyway.... do you guys think Matt will be influenced by all of this? I mean come on....

But Matt is totally impressed by Zelda. So chances are........

 

[gamergirly]

Seriously though, I'm expecting a higher score for the Cube version (as it should be, definitive version FTMFW)

Yeah right. Im starting to feel bad about the GC version now. Scores will be worse.

I hope Jeff doesn't read this thread or his wiki. He might just kill himself or something totally not cool.

 

[Oblivion]

Err, woops i meant WW

My apologies

Ah, okay. Cool beans.

 

[Goreomedy]

umm.. have you SEEN gerstmann use the wiimote? I would STRONGLY recommend taking a look at the video before putting any weight (no pun intended) behind that quote.

Jeff picks up on controls really quick, if his On the Spot appearances are any indication.

And the fat jokes are despicable. Grow up, people.

 

[Vic]

It's over to you now Matt.

now, THIS is the review I'm waiting for, good or bad :lol

 

[Model 500]

Jeff with the honest opinion. Much appreciated. Gamecube version for me.

So you think that the other 99% of the people who've played the game are not being honest then? Loool :lol

 

[neojubei]

Why did they have Jeff review ZELDA? Its like having Luke Smith review Zelda,.

Matt C. better do a proper review.

Get some more skateboards into Zelda, Nintendo!!

 

[karasu]

You guys sure take reviews seriously.

 

[Hero]

This is from the same place that struggled with the Wii last week, right?

Oh well. Everyone else says it's great.

2/10


Learn 2 troll better plz

 

[eripoy]

Okami is better :lol

Time to start making games 3rd party.

 

[lollerskates]

Funny how xbox 360 launch titles scored very high and now ps3 and nintendo's are average.

funny how halo 3 is on the cover of EGM and not the ps3 and wii....

just saying.

funny how mario sunshine came out and got 9's and 10's everywhere, but gamespot gave it an 8 (was it gertsmann?) and people went ballistic and accused them of taking payouts

but in retrospect, their 8.0 Sunshine score was the one that has stood the test of time and most people agree with it now

this seems a lil like the same situation to me

 

[castle007]

I just realized this...

okami is better :|

WTF gamespot

 

[_Alkaline_]

Why did they have Jeff review ZELDA? Its like having Luke Smith review Zelda,.

Matt C. better do a proper review.

Because he did all the previous Zelda games, the fat ****.

But the fat **** hates the Wii, so his review is meaningless. Nevertheless, it's still pure bull****.

 

[Red Blaster]

Okami is better :lol

Poor Himuro.

 

[Defcon]

We all knew it was coming after seeing Gerstmann play the Wii On the Spot. The guy clearly hates waggle.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Wiki article semi-protected, n00bs.

 

[7Th]

Not like I was planning to get the Wii version anyway. His review isn't what made my mind though, just that most of those 4 development years were focused on the Cube contol.

 

[borghe]

Jeff picks up on controls really quick, if his On the Spot appearances are any indication.

no, really. watch the video. he is horrible with the wiimote and has absolutely no interest in it at all. we are not making this shit up. watch the video for christ sake before jumping to his defense.

 

[Lee N]

Wii-specific elements feel tacked on

.. I just ran that through the Gerstmann->English filter on Google Translation and I got

I don't like to move

 

[strikeselect]

I applaud Jeff for being the only reviewer to have the balls to stand up to Nintendo and their moronic "fans".


Jeff just got major respect points from me

real talk

 

[Vic]

Okami is better :lol

Time to start making games 3rd party.

don't ****ing mention that game here!! do you want to die???

 

[border]

I hope Jeff doesn't read this thread or his wiki. He might just kill himself or something totally not cool.

If sure he's going to kill himself over a bunch of crybabies on a messageboard. :lol

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

This thread gives me a much needed :lol

 

[Angelcurio]

Posting on a legendary thread :lol

 

[JayDubya]

For the good of the world!!!

*casts Meteo*

 

[Link]

Damn, this thread is going a mile a minute.

There's also a lot of stupid, reactionary people in this thread, on both sides of the argument. Stop acting like retards, please.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I heard Gerstmann threw the Wii out the window of a 100000 story building right after this review.

He yelled out profanities about Nintendo, Mario, Luigi and most shockingly Yoshi. He then began to dry hump his Princess Peach life size doll while calling her a "whore" and other depraving things.

Hes truly a horrible person

 

[The Interrobanger]

Gerstmann, go **** yourself. You obviously hate the Wii, and it shows with this review. WE ALL KNOW THAT TWILIGHT PRINCESS IS THE BEST ZELDA GAME EVER. EVERY OTHER SITE HAS SAID THAT.

Gerstmann, you can **** yourself, you fat ****.

Wow, I don't agree with the review, but this is getting out of hand. It's a game, it means nothing, our lives still go on and we'll still have a blast playing it on Sunday. Get it together people.

 

[Beergut]

GameSpot really needs to remove the late game spoilers.

 

[Mr. TV Goggles]

Okami is better :lol

:lol :lol :lol Himuro was right. Poor bastard.

Wow, I don't agree with a review, but this is getting out of hand. It's a game, it means nothing, our lives still go on and we'll still have a blast playing it on Sunday. Get it together people.

So true.

Wtf dude...

 

[gamergirly]

Oh forget it....

A review is a review....

 

[En-ou]

i agree it was a pretty badly written review - tossing late game spoilers in like that. he says the wii controls are tacked on...well he's the guy who tries to play wii golf in a couch...maybe he is too fat to play a wii controlled game?

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

lol jokes

 

[Zerodoppler]

Why did they have Jeff review ZELDA? Its like having Luke Smith review Zelda,.

That would've been so awesome. Hopefully he tears it to pieces in the podcast. I love it when they hate on something.

I'm not going to say that Twilight Princess only deserves an 8.8 or anything, but you are right about his SM Sunshine review. I was one of the people up in arms about that one, but I think he actually got that one right. Hopefully, he's wrong about this one.

are you really hoping to meet him in person or something? I think all of his friend positions are filled up ATM. try back later.

[medrew]

Jeff picks up on controls really quick (and eats them), if his On the Spot appearances are any indication.

And the fat jokes are despicable. Grow up, people, just look at how much Jeff has grown over the years. Round for pound

fixed
