There's two distinct type of people posting now in this thread:
The first group would be the people who have just clicked on this thread for the first time and instantly hit reply to congratulate the OP for an epic official thread well done.
The other group would be the people who have already congratulated the OP and are now bitching about the Eurogamer score.
Let's see what happens when US GAF wakes up.

You'd remember me, I was the one who never died and kept CQC, Stun and Stabbing people
I now remember I met you once or twice. Pff, you weren't as good as the clan leader, that GeneralCostro or whatever he was called. ;p I think I whacked you a couple of times.

How is there nothing wrong with the content when the guy had people that dislike the past games in mind when awarding the game a score? That is illogical.

Is this information correct? Because afaik the 80gb PS3 will not be sold on EU, here:

I didn't think Europe bundle had Dualshock or 80GB

He specifically mentions the "millions" of people that dislike the game in the review.

Why even mention that when the game was clearly designed for fans of the series? It's fan service.

I can't think of any logical reason of why he would have wrote that. What is it the purpose of it in a review?

flat-out stating that millions of people hate MGS in a review is just ridiculous, really. Every game out there in the market has millions of people that are totally indifferent to it.
Reviews have changed. They're no longer about reasonable views, or objectivity. They're not even about independent thoughts, justification, or consistency. They're an endless series of pissing contests, fought by ignorant and egotistical journalists.
Reviews, and their vast consumption of human intellect, have become an irrational, depleted source of reliability.
Reviews have changed. ID-tagged journalists carry ID-tagged websites, use ID-tagged review scores. Illogical opinions inside their minds enhance and regulate their actions.
Hype control... Information control... Opinion control... Message board control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control.
Reviews have changed. The age of journalism reliance is now the age of control, averting catastrophe from reasonable review scores. And he who controls the message boards, controls history.
Reviews have changed. When the message boards are under total control, mandatory criticism becomes routine.

Wow 8/10 from Eurogamer?! What a surprise!
8/10 isn't bad per se, but for a top tiered game like MGS4, i expected at least 9

I mean, I'm no writer, but it just seems like a blatant unjustified attack on the series. After all, shouldn't he be reviewing MGS4 on it's own merits?

Besides being an ode to people who hate the series as much, if not more than those who love them. He seemed to express the bad over the good, but never justifying it. He complained the game has been shaken up but is still the same but didn't explain what he meant. Leaving me to think, maybe he was expecting it to stop being a stealth game, or something of the sort. He expressed that it hasn't done enough to keep up with the competition, but never explained how or what the competition is even supposed to besyllogism said:
By and large the only thing he seemed to communicate effectively was that he hates cutscenes. Is that enough to brush aside everything else it does? He seems to think so

Since when was an 8 a bad score, you guys need to chill the fuck out.:lol
^_^
I just wanted to say I got the idea from a friend. We were talking about Eurogamer's MGS4 score and GAF's reaction to it and in the middle of the conversation he just said "Reviews have changed." I decided I wanted to expand on that.
And with that said, see you all later this morning. I'm off to bed.

When everyone state side wakes up there may be no Gaf to wake up to if the reactions so far are anything to go by.

Print Media is dead to me, web media is the same way, dont go to IGN and what not any more.... the new way is Gaf... and message boards, but we still feed of these other media outlets to validate our opinions on things its a coorazy world, we need devs and publishers to start premiering stuff on boards and stuff, we hype the shit out of stuff more than any other media can and its eventually picked up by the media anyways
Fucking Eurogamer. :lol
