Gamespot going to the dogs

What the hell is wrong with you, I mean I hate nintendo as much as the next person but seriously paper mario owns, the only better rpg's are SW KOTOR and M&L superstar saga.

The Paper Mario series are great (definatley some of the most enjoyable rpgs i've played on any system) Let me guess - you've never played any of them?? oh that's a surprise :/

And what's wrong with rhythm action titles?? You obviously haven't played Samba De Amigo - which is one of the greatest party games ever made .. infact it's one of the best games ever made. Period.

Somtimes it's nice to play games with other ppl, not sit alone in the dark and play pc games - and no, online with comms doesn't count

Personally I think MGS3 is the GOTY, so I disagree with them and that. Also, almost all of their reviews are complete rubbish. But the awards aren't as bad as I expected from such shitty organizations such as IGN and Gamespot.

i wiped my butt with "Paper" Mario.....BTW SW KOTOR 2 was better hands down.

 

[dawdler]

Bah! Checked out special achievements and best multiplayer... No Joint Operations. Does anyone see another 150 player BF style multiplayer game out there? Anyone?

I hate nintendo as much as the next person .

WTF? Why hate Nintendo? THey built most of the console gaming industry single-handedly.

This is because consoles are a lot better at most of these major video game genres than PCs. If it's any consolidation, the PC dominated best shooter, best adventure, best MMORPG, and best strategy. The PC isn't exactly renowned for it's excellent fighting, platformer and driving games.

i just think its sad that the only rpg that came out for pc this year was masquerade, not that i didn't like it, just that i wished there was more variety in the genre for pc this year. :/
