I cant believe they actually split the Fallout 4 review in half. That's awesome!

Lazy Gertsmann copy pasted the text body in both. But only people who read reviews will notice, so who cares /s

 

[Noray]

Gamespot really is a shitty platform that doesn't know what to do with a bunch of talented people, huh?

 

[Anjin M]

Just to note: they also split scores for Bayonetta. Ryan gave the 360 and PS3 versions different ratings because the PS3 version was supposedly terrible.

edit: nevermind. my memory is off. I guess Jeff once mentioned the difference and I took it as two separate reviews.

I just looked it up and your memory was right:

Xbox - 4 Stars
PS3 - 3 Stars

For some reason, the PS3 review is also tagged X360, even though the 360 version has a separate review.

edit:// Nice catch, by the way.

Watching this makes me appreciate Giant Bomb's content.

It's not that he copy/pasted with a few new lines but the fact that he separated it and gave each their own score. He could have just said it's better on PC in his 3/5 review and leave it at that but It's great that he made a separate review to let the PC version shine and to let Bethesda know not everyone is willing to give them a free pass.

 

[robotrock]

Did Giant Bomb just swear on the Gamespot stream?

Does Gamespot allow swears?

 

[repeater]

It's stuck in the lang zone

We have photographic evidence from the situation in there:

 

[kingocfs]

But what about the next Bethesda game AFTER the next game?

 

[LiK]

Gamespot needs to let their guys loose like GB. or maybe just have Jeff take over GS. lol

 

[Curufinwe]

If only other reviews editors had the balls and honesty Jeff does. Two of the biggest sites, IGN and Polygon, have clowns in charge.

Sorry, I was just joking

Yes

I hate this notion of Bethesda bugs being "funny" or "expected". Have a higher standard.

They're only funny if they're unexpected.

Oh hey, no need to be sorry haha. I'm just saying that this is great whether he copy and pasted or not although I get what you meant ;P

 

[Curufinwe]

Is this guy with the glasses the same guy Ryan rekt on that podcast that one time?

I think that was Tom McShea and he was laid off a while ago.

well, not give them another pass. GB gave Skyrim 5/5.

the archives presumably get much higher views or the show wouldn't exist.

Good on Jeff. I saw a bit of Fallout on both consoles earlier today and sheeeeesh. Playing ~50 hours of that would be rough.

Oh God you're right!

 

[Blastoise]

Got damn these threads move fast!

 

[daydream]

can't watch cause of that #noflashlife but if it's peter brown defending fo4 on consoles, that's very disappointing

 

[Anjin M]

Be fair. Brad gave it a 5/5.

I kinda feel bad for Danny :/

This show is embarrassing. "No, make the girl pose for the picture with the shit!"

 

[Myggen]

I mean, everyone gave that game "a pass". The way they talked about it it would've been a 5/5 regardless of who reviewed it. They probably should've given a separate score for the PS3 version but if IIRC they didn't have a review copy of that game (Bethesda is smart that way).

Fuuuuuuuuuuck yeeaaaah

I think that was Tom McShea and he was laid off a while ago.

His Sound Shapes review is quite something. Man, those were the days though whenever he used to review a big game, there used to be such a huge backlash because he rarely was easy on games. Check out the dislike on his Infamous 2 review.

Surprising they didn't lead with the PC version this time honestly.

All of his reviews are something.

I'm actually really curious about this. Do game scores matter to publishers as much anymore? If so, wouldn't they be sure to put their best foot forward and send out PC codes? Or are they actually unaware of the issues on console?

I'm gonna write the Bombcast a letter with pretty much this question I think.

Maybe they know the game will sell regardless and want lower scores so they have to pay out less in bonuses to the devs.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Do it! But be more eloquent than I.

Maybe they know the game will sell regardless and want lower scores so they have to pay out less in bonuses to the devs.

I don't think this is the case, but that would be comically evil.

 

[Chance Hale]

Not sure why Jeff's one negative comment about the PC version is the controls. Everything is remappable.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Eh one seems more of an an attempt to attract viewers while the other is almost to repel them.
