Oh I Got Turned Upside Down Again Please God Save Me Metal Song
I establish these just now. It'southward hilarious the insane reactions! It makes the Uncharted 3 8 review seem similar a not-result. Why weren't there multiple articles written almost THIS? I bet they didn't become expiry threats at their home like Jeff did! I did laugh at the topic "Jeff was abused as a child". Man, then aroused! Hahaha. At that fourth dimension on GameSpot 7 was A, 8 was AA and 9 was AAA. Any large game "had" to go AAA to be seen as worthy. And then all this over 0.2 points. Crazy times my friends, crazy times.
Oh wow, thats funny.
Human. People were really mad at Jeff weren't they?
Fuck. I wasn't even this mad when my earth got flipped, turned upside down. So I'd similar to take a minute, simply sit correct at that place, and tell you how I got my priorities in bank check and never became aroused at video game scores on the internet.
I'g notwithstanding laughing. Oohhhhhhh my god I love gamers. BAHAHAHHAHAHAA
Looking back, an 8.8 was a little also generous for that game.
Trust me it was real chaos in SW (System Wars, Gamespot) that mean solar day, I for i loved it and use to dearest games flopping and watching the reaction of the Internet? Another famous i was R&C TOD it got 7.5 SW well-nigh exploded, Im trying to think of more examples of the skilful one-time days of SW lol.
I just fondly remember glancing through all of the comments and reading "jeff gerstmann is fat". So plain and idiotic which left me with a chuckle, sadly.
should accept got a 4
1 of my least proud moments on the internet was sort of getting involved in that stuff. I was never one of the guys shouting and calling Jeff names and whatnot, but I did voice a strong dislike of the score in some of the threads on the GameSpot forums. I don't think I had even played the game at the time. I was an idiot. Fortunately, nosotros grow upwardly from that shit and realize how dumb it is. I'm sure most of the people posting them will wait back now with embarrassment but as I practise. It's ane of those internet things. Nosotros've all been there. Information technology seems weird that it'southward not actually that long ago, nevertheless here I am looking back on it and thinking almost how much of an idiot I was.
EDIT: I've really gone back and had a expect at my GameSpot posts from the time, and it's not as bad every bit I call up. I certainly recollect agreeing with sure comments most the viii.8, and I remember talking to friends most it, just apparently I didn't postal service on the forums about it much. And just a few months after the review I said "gamespot scores are controversial at best, just just have it and go on with life. its non the end of the earth". Ignoring the terrible grammer, I'grand quite pleased my 17 year onetime self had already woken up to it not existence a huge deal.
Await, Jeff gave Twilight Princess an viii.8? I'grand going to kill that motherfucker in his sleep!
Always seemed weird, particularly since Twilight Princess seems to generally be looked on as one of the weaker entries in the series by fans.
Its hilarious that someone cancelled a pre-club because the game got an 8.8. In my book, that's a actually good score. It might not have been the perfect ten people were looking for, but its just a review from 1 person'south perspective. These people'south/child's lives must exist pretty sorry to be take fabricated such a huge bargain over something so insignificant equally a number created past a single gamer who played the game.
It's a freaking score, from one review site. I'll never understand the thought process behind complaining about reviews. Information technology's non like they personally developed the game or anything.
@MattyFTM: I recollect some of your posts dorsum then about the situation and dont worry I was the same, good thing is like you lot said nosotros all grow upwards.
I used to honey getting into it. It was so impaired but hoping on and seeing some PS3 exclusive go a 7 and anybody explodes was hilarious. The name calling was ever too much though. It was almost similar gambling. Everyone put their bets on if a game would go AAA or not. These days I couldn't give a shit I just want adept games.One of my to the lowest degree proud moments on the internet was sort of getting involved in that stuff. I was never one of the guys shouting and calling Jeff names and whatnot, only I did vocalism a potent dislike of the score in some of the threads on the GameSpot forums. I don't think I had even played the game at the time. I was an idiot. Fortunately, nosotros abound up from that shit and realize how impaired it is. I'k certain nearly of the people posting them will await back now with embarrassment just equally I exercise. It'due south one of those internet things. We've all been at that place. Information technology seems weird that it's non actually that long ago, yet hither I am looking dorsum on it and thinking most how much of an idiot I was.
will GB give Skyrim an 11.xi?
@Slaker117: Yeah! Now we're talking!
@Metal_Mills: oh my do you remember Lair getting a 4.five? SW imploded. TCHBO. cows, hermits, sheep, headchog M$ ahh its all coming back to me now
Given that GameFAQs (and Gamespot given the merger) has a huge Nintendo (And Zelda Specifically) bias in the userbase it'south no wonder they got upset. Although information technology's still completely stupid that's the principal reason why that community blew information technology out of proportion more than most others.
That'due south the kind of stuff that makes me wish at that place wasn't a score attached to a review. I understand the actual importance of a score just sometimes I think it does more impairment than adept. How many people do you think made those threads without actually reading once sentence of his review?
The funny affair is, near a week ago I went looking through Gamespot's one-time Zelda reviews to find the "controversial" one. I didn't remember which game it was or what score it got. All I remembered was the backlash the score got from the community. When all I could notice was high scores I was confused.
What were people so angry nearly? A decimal point or two? So airheaded...
Human being, I retrieve that.

At first, I rolled my eyes. This gag again. But and so, the out of left field ending saved it. I applaud you, sir.
Also, I recollect I was like 14 or 15 when this whole debacle occurred and even then I thought those people were batshit retarded. Hey, yous know what? Looking dorsum, TP is a bunch of kind of uninspired moments of HEY REMEMBER THIS IS THIS OTHER GAME?! wrapped around game mechanics that are basically solid as e'er. And so, aye, viii.viii.
I like all the topics complaining almost GameSTOP's review staff. Besides, Greg'due south (who would evidently have scored the game much college) concluding name is apparently Kavision, and being fat invalidates one's opinion. These are gold!
I was just reading up on this whole business last week, and information technology's kind of hilarious and kind of sad at the aforementioned time. On the one hand, information technology's "lol cyberspace" just on the other hand I facepalm because it'southward arguably the worst function of video games every bit a medium.
Or I guess no matter what medium, fans ruin everything.
This is a blast from the by. I call back the outrage like it was yesterday.
People become upset about the strangest things. That said if Skyward Sword gets less than v stars on this site Jeff is going to wake up in a bathtub with a missing kidney.
@mosdl said:
volition GB give Skyrim an xi.11?
no it gets a 1.1
Well... Jeff Gerstman IS fat... then apparently his review was wrong.
On a somewhat related annotation, I've been trying to bring myself to end Twilight Princess before Skyward Sword comes out, but it'south so god damn fucking boring- 8.viii was fucking generous.
Haha, yeah. Although I knew that would be shit. The videos were and then bad. I think I was a hermit. Cows were PS3, hermits were PC, sheep were Nintendo, hedgehogs were Sega, right? I should find some of my old threads see what insanely I created.@Metal_Mills: oh my practise you remember Lair getting a four.five? SW imploded. TCHBO. cows, hermits, sheep, headchog K$ ahh its all coming back to me now
Oh homo do I remember that. Looking at that page of threads for people bitching about a review score of a game they had yet to play brings me some much needed glee. Honestly, Twilight Princess deserved worse. That game was such a rote by-the-numbers execution of the Zelda formula that I never actually finished information technology, despite being on the second to last dungeon. That game was a victim of its hype more annihilation else. Remember that first trailer? BLADES WILL BLEED. SWORDS WILL SHATTER. Oh homo. The Nintendrones deserved what they got
And, for more than fun, hither's Jeff's Video Review. Unsurprisingly, the comments are still on the idiot side.
People are all the same lament about it in the comments to the video review... lets remember folks this game came out 5 years ago haha
All I can say is... people.
I can't remember ever doing things like this. I will disagree with people and voice that simply never threaten them or act similar they're stupid. Definitely never over a meaningless score either.
And people call me weird.... right =P
I was not angry, simply shocked and disappointed, considering how could someone exercise Zelda so much wrong? It's Zelda. It deserves a 10, for no other reason than that information technology is Zelda. I needed to visit the guidance counselor when Wind Waker wasn't awarded and EGM Platinum. Murdering Mark MacDonald is still on my to do list for that devastating blow.
When I played Twilight Princess, I decided 8.8 was right on the money, if not a touch high.
Air current Waker still deserved that platinum, though.
Twilight Princess was garbage.
I'yard pissed at Jeff for non giving it below a 6.
Those were the practiced old days. Human, that week was amazing. That's fanboy rage in a nutshell correct at that place
I similar how this sort of thing reminds me that, no affair how shitty things in my life may get, I'll never exist pathetic enough to throw a tantrum because Game I Similar 3: The Sequeling was chosen "great" instead of "crotch-grabbingly perfect in every possible way".
Side note: "Girthmann" is pretty funny, though. I accept nothing merely respect for Jeff, but a good pun is a practiced pun.
Tom Mcshea mentioned the eight.eight on the Hotspot last week... He said that Jeff rated the game besides high.
It actually kind of makes me sad. It'southward sad that something I savor is littered with disgusting people.
This is why Giantbomb>GameFAQs
I thought Jeff'due south score was right on the money. I disagree that TP was "garbage" or should take had a lower score.
Those forum posts were downright fucked upwardly, however. What'due south wrong with those people?
Our frothing need for blasts from the past increases.
Arrangement Wars scared the shit out of me, I simply stayed in OT.
I hold with the guy who wanted Greg Kavision to rerate the game.
Anyway, looking forward to 12 hours of Skyrim with Greg Kavision.
I remember laughing my donkey off when that score popped upwardly and the Gamespot forums went into a rage. I was certain at that place would be a mass suicide involved too, sadly that did not happen. I was simply happy to be playing the game before commenting on if the score was valid or not and it was totally valid. the 8.8 score (AKA This Game is pretty fucking practiced, but not the best-score) was spot on for that game
I didn't really similar TP that much... I loved WW though. I remember reading the review and thinking that it meant the game vicious short of my expectations for a Zelda title, only decided that 8.eight was more than than high enough to justify the purchase. In hindsight, I'd give it a 4/5. I couldn't believe the forum posts and the comments, but information technology did sort of open my eyes to the patheticness and immaturity found on the internet. 5 years on... nothings changed.

They call information technology the Opposite Bel Air. You tin can only use it once, and then choose wisely.
Skilful to see that the Net has matured since so.
I played it after his review was posted. I loved every infinitesimal of it. Jeff was wrong. At least an 8.9.
Look a minute wait a minute. How could Anybody say thats a bad score or a bad game? I've played the game all the fashion through twice at present, and its hands either the best- or information technology ties with a link to the past. Ocarina of time is a great game, just its missing something. Something twilight princess had. Bosses were epic. Dungeons were soooo greatly laid out. The urban center and the heaven and in that location on out is probably the all-time gaming feel that could exist had on the wii thus far. 8.8...I don't know. Twilight had a few issues of its ain though. I'd say if halo 2 could become a nine.iii on average, I'd say twilight princess could hands get at least that.
Next affair is...unlike every other zelda game before it, it is a thirty hour run a risk. Ocarina takes most people nigh x-15 hours, But while even trying to speedrun twilight princess, the all-time I could get is 25 hours. Meaning, alot of people are not probably going to see the ending.
