This article was funny itself, but that line was hilarious. This series is shaping up to be one of my favourites. Keep it up!

"If you guessed that the fanboy would stopp for a moment to think rationally and decide that either maybe they hyped the game up for themselves too much, or that maybe they and the reviewer have different tastes and that differnece of opinion is allowed, you guessed wrong."
Heh. I know you were kidding, but I think 3.9 falls outside the range of "reasonable disagreement." Reasonable disagreement is Killzone 2 getting an 8.9 somewhere. It's amazing that people who haven't played the game feel the need to defend it from a reviewer who has put it in that special sub-5.0 category for games that are just-not-even-kidding bad.

Nintendo Power isn't interested in giving gamers information and honest advice on games. Their only interest is in selling kids games.I stopped reading it about 12-15 years ago. After buying a game that was given a high review score to, I noticed the game was crap, and that the reviews are just over glorified advertisements. It's made by the people who make Nintendo game consoles. Of course they give any and all games decent scores. They want you to CONSUME, OBEY, and have NO FREE THOUGHT. BUY NOW, or Miyamoto won't be able to import another Ferrari to go with his fleet of sports cars and Japanese Lolita hookers.
lol, ditto. I always knew they were biased but I unsubbed during their months-long campaign to convince readers that Yoshi's Story was better than Goldeneye. Memorable quote: "We're betting that most of the people complaining about the length of Yoshi's story haven't found every secret egg."
"Its like finding that really pretty girl
banging her...
then finding out she has AIDS."
LOL. Some of the other comments are good but that part takes the cake.

Ahahaha, oh god, god bless the fanboys for giving me something to laugh at., and you really got me with the trying to wank yourself giving a bad score.
Also, I don't understant Portuguese that much but I think it says that "whenever there is a new Sonic game they always give it a bad review and that he preafers Gamespot because it gave the game a 6" or something like that.

I love Nintendo Power, but I never go by their reviews alone. :) They gave Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia like a 7 or 8, when it was a 10 for me. Well...okay, that's minor, I know, but I always get a second opinion if I'm trying to decide on a new game. :)
Fucking love this series. It brings a smile to my tired old face every week, sorta like this one :D
P.S. They still put out Nintendo Power? Man, I haven't seen an issue since the mid 90's.

Sonic fanboys are the worst. The fanfics and art have killed sonic for me in a much worse way than any game could.
Love the comparisons to Twilight Princess... It's like saying that Bubsy was as good as Super Mario World because 'it has the same control scheme and you weren't complaining then!' And the 'this reviewer has never been laid' bit was priceless.
Speaking of Twilight Princess you should see if you can dredge up some comments on the reviews for that game for a future segment (not that you're in need of material); I remember a lot of vitriol on anything below nine for that game.

Worst game ever! I'm sorry but I'm going to have to give it a score of 6.
Haha, joke aside, why is a score below 6 like an "F" in video games? Shouldn't a 5 be a average rating? It seems like most reviewers give games scores between 7 and 9. If a game gets a score below 7 fans think the reviewer is too harsh. If a game gets a score higher than 9 fans think that reviewer is being too generous. I think that reviewers are forgetting how to quantify the factors of how good or bad a game is.

The dude speaking (broken) Portuguese is saying roughly (retarded punctuation mantained):
"Damn Nintendo fanboys...
whenever comes out a sonic game, they piss all over them.
It seems that the game is not even out yet and it's already been given poor scores. that's why I prefer gameSpot, I think they gave it a reasonable 6 =)
I'm not a fanboy, but judging from the videos..."

I'll use my Brazilian power and translate it:
Stupid Nintendo Fanboys ...
every time a new sonic game comes out they already criticize it ...
For me , it looks like the games isn't even out and they already said it is sh*, that's why I like gamespot more , they gave it a basic 6 =)
I'm not a fanboy , but by the videos ...

Reviewers are just people too. Mostly, uninformed, unfulfilled people. I'll rally around the 'play it for yourself and form your own opinion" cry!
That said, I have declined to purchase several games I was on the fence about in the first place due to bad reviews. Usually, though, its not just *one* review, but a multi-tiered investigation that ultimately swings the tide. With games as expensive as they are, one can never be too cautious.

"I averaged all your scores except the 3.9, and it averages to a 6.1. And guess what? 10-6.1=3.9!"
It all makes sense! And when you consider the name of the school that Bush was at on 9/11, remember evidence hidden by the Knights Templar, and factor in the Roswell report, you finally see the truth! They can't hide their conspiracy forever!

Normally i always add 1 or 2 on the review of the games i like but didn't get universal praise.
Like Kane & Lynch , Army of Two , Silent Hill:HC or Enchanted Arms.

Within four minutes of one another, two different D-toiders submitted translations of the Portuguese fanboy rant.

Sonic fanboys. It saddens me to actually lump myself in that group (Well, from an old school perspective, the 'newest' Sonic game I bought was the Ultimate Genesis Collection), but alas. Seriously though- the game was crap. That much can't be denied. Can they not just accept that and live in sorrow for three or four months, then get your hopes up for the next Sonic game, only to have your aspirations dashed against the rocks by the cruel butt-raping bastards known as Sonic Team? Seriously, it's practically a cycle by now for most people.
This is of all games to suck too. I remember seeing the first video and immediately being reminded of a new-age Sparkster (which would be AWESOME AS HELL, by the way).

I love how all of them are terrible writers (except that last guy, who seems to be more rational, although still an idiot fanboy with that 'never got laid in his life' comment), it makes it much more entertaining to imagine a flurry of angry but nonsensical thoughts surging around in their brains as they quickly type out as much as they can. Without checking for errors or grammar, of course.
Look, I like making on my own the decisions about what is gaming to me. Not what some guy who probably hasn't gotten laid in his whole life.
Remember that, for that is the eloquentliest I could put that, hopefully.

Shut the fuck up, you retards. I'll have you all know, I'm finding it VERY hard not to type in all caps right now. Sonic Unleashed was a good game, Black Knight was decent, and you all are idiots that are afraid to admit that Sonic games are getting better. Jump on the "hate sonic" bandwagon! It's fun!
Here's my impression of a Sonic hater:
"IF YOU EVEN REMOTELY ENJOY ANY 3D SONIC GAME EVER YOU ARE A RETARD THAT DESERVES TO DIE. IF YOU DEFEND SONIC GAMES YOU ARE AN IDIOT FANBOY THAT SHOULD BE OPENLY HUMILIATED. SONIC FANS ARE OBVIOUSLY ALL MORONS AND THE GAMES ARE BAD EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER PLAYED A SONIC GAME IN MY LIFE."
Grow the fuck up. These games are getting better, and you all know this.

@jackal27:
Honestly.. Do you think that the people who publish that magazine aren't being paid by Nintendo? Nintendo Power is an advertisement engine. If they were indeed serious gamers, they would refuse to write for such a publication. It took them 10 years of making magazines to finally let other companies advertise in the magazine. Do you think that Future US would still have the publishing rights if Sony and Microsoft ads appeared on the pages of their so-called magazine? It's called NINTENDO Power. It says NINTENDO on the cover! It's obvious that they're going to give all the games they see on the Nintendo systems a high score.. Do they compare the games they write about to other console specific titles? The integrity of that publication is null and void. I stopped being a Nintendo fan a very long time ago.. maybe I'm old enough to remember them giving piece of shit games like Milons Secret Castle a spot on the top 10.
they suck. and because of their previous shenanigans, I will not read, nor will I advocate it as a serious gaming publication.
