An 8.5? Blasphemy! Anyone who gives Uncharted 3, Batman:AC, LoZ:Skyward Sword, and TESV: Skyrim an 8:5 or lower should be crucified for committing such a satanic deed!!
... Or not since different reviewers have different tastes.
I give this video an 8.5! If you want a perfect 10, bribe me with a dozen boxes of chocolate, a harem of beautiful women, and some sweet swags!

I watch gifs play out at *least* 30 times without looking away. They're mesmerizing.
Thanks WinterZero. :)

hehe al this while at they bash the Zelda: Skyward Sword review for being a 9.1. Maybe we should forget the numbers and think about a more simplified system like 'good/bad' or meaningless colours
"What you give Zelda: Kazoo of the Voiceless blue while you give CoD: November Warfare a purplish green? You are full of shit and not in the good asian hooker kind of way"

This is all 100% true.
Integrity is long gone these days :(, my beloved young video game industry taken over by peasantly things called scores and numbers and metacritic.... Q_Q
ending made me rofl, shit was hilarious

Lol yeah. Gametrailers complained that there was still no voice acting in Zelda, and that the graphics were horrible because it was on the Wii. What a bunch of noob reviewers...

@Gorescream
I disagree. The integrity is still there if you look for it. There's always going to be good and bad journalists. I think that the biggest problem, are the asshat readers and fanboys whose demands of a video review are so far skewed that any independent (or god forbid divergent) thought is brutally scorned. We've gotten so partial to immediately loving or hating a game that we can't read a review with a critical or impartial eye, even if it is we'll reasoned.
All in all, we love jumping on bandwagons too much (who doesen't), and we only look at reviews as, "Is writer X on our bandwagon or not? If not, let us shout at him for being different".

@Winterzero: FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT GIF!!!
Video was brilliant. Mega64 are consistently awesome.

It's because the barrier to entry for being a game reviewer is "email us a piece of writing that's half-decent and we'll hire you".
You can tell what out-of-10 a game will get before it's even released and anyone has even played it.
Crooks.

Aye aye, there is still some journalism integrity around, but it is getting slimmer by the day, I mean nobody is doing anything about the metacritic(it's such an outdated model) and it seems to get more influencial with every big AAA titled being released.
Heck, that guy from Giantsbomb who used to work at Gamespot got fired for giving kane & lynch a low score, so he started his own company.
What a bad ass <3.

This video reminds me of Jim's reviews and the stupid shitstorm that follows them. Cracks me up how many times they yell "YOU RUINED THE METASCORE!"
Holy shit, I just got a fucking amazing idea. Not too long ago, on Podtoid, they were talking about making a movie.
THIS SHOULD BE THE FUCKING MOVIE, JIM STERLING!! I KNOW YOU'RE THERE.
Fly yo ass over too wherever the fuck in California Mega64 lives and film the shit out of this movie.
Also, this movie needs some nudity...so Tara...I'm sorry to ask this of you, but you'll need to lend Max and Holmes some sexy clothes to make their nude scene that much more appealing when it takes place. You might want to burn those clothes later though.

"I've never played the game before.. but I know you're full of shit."
Summarizes maybe 90% of a typical review backlash.
Awesome video. Totally nailed it.

This is the best video Mega64 has ever done I think, it's so accurate too. Only a Jim Sterling cameo would make this better.
That was pretty funny. I liked all the movie tie-ins, especially the Godfather-esque embrace. Should have shown the Kiss-of-Death.
Still, we have too many bloggers fighting with children over scores. A lot of those who get upset are adolescent kids with no perspective. Fighting with them is an exercise in futility. Some bloggers seem to revel in it, though, and try to keep the battle raging. Disagreements over videogame review scores is hardly what I would call controversial, but there are those who seem to WANT a "shitstorm" so they can write multiple articles and film multiple video rants. You're not a martyr just because people yell at you on the internet.
As far as the the Metascore, though, that needs to go away. Take away the score and just list the reviews. You'd still get hate for the extremes, but there would be a lot less direct competition between fanboy tribes.
But other than that, who cares? If I disagree with a reviewer's methodology, then I'll criticize them for that, but if I disagree with their opinion then I'll just shrug and move on. The people who get all puffed up about Metascores, however, should just be ignored. No one should fight with jimmyx through hundreds of comments. People who get upset about kids yelling over videogame scores are almost as bad as the people they're getting upset about.

If this video has been out for longer than 4 hours now, somebody should make sure to have Jim call a doctor.
