One of the biggest examples I can think of that he is referring to would be the reviews for Halo 3. Halo 3 got plenty of perfect scores despite the fact that the campaign was very lackluster, and the friendly A.I. was absolutely horrendous.

jaffe is the gaming tarantino :D

[jmd620]

but, i do agree with him wholeheartedly here

....and then he made the same game three times and became super rich. and now he's remaking the game he made before that. (see i can be a snarky asshat too)

Jaffe is right here. Although I think game sites also have advertisers from these games on their sites and I think they get scared that if they trash a game, that company will pull their advertising. Journalism doesn't have the same integrity it used it. A game gets great reviews but if you really read the consensus of the people who are actually playing it that rarely gets put into the review.

[jmd620]

so then i'm assuming he'd be glad that some reviewers gave god of war 3 in the 8 range?

@GmodAddict .Its actually a major hobby for me too, so the fricken game comment still stands!

.This debate just sounds like whining to me, Especially when the topic comes from a high end game developer. If you sell 12 million games instead of 20 million games, I don’t think it’s a total lose…
