9.5 for Dead Space 2.

SephirothX: When we reduce two reviews to a meme, we can basically make them all sound identical.
There's a reason why reviews aren't actually written as one sentence each, and why the outcomes for MW3 and MK7 were different. It's tragic to see people have been so reductive in their arguments against the score, but ah well. Maybe one day they'll bother the read the full text and it'll click.

Also, the amendment you add is hilarious, since it totally undermines the original point of the picture you posted.
Actually, in all seriousness, you can just improve your reviews by getting rid of the fat turd that handles the majority of them.
That's you, Jim Sterling. You fat turd.

I'll counter that by saying that you said the only way to have a fighting change in Battlefield 3 was to be in a tank, even though you never bothered playing the class that has the anti-tank weapons when you posted the review.

SephirothX: So? How does that prove I give all EA games a low score because I hate EA? Dead Space and Crysis 2 say otherwise.
Do keep up.

Guess you didnt feel like reading the part where I agreed with Jim saying it was bullshit.

Christ, that seems like a lot of work for a review. Isn't it just easier for some schmuck to do write a review and everybody else sit around and bitch about it? Also, Big Rigs Over the Road Racing was brilliant. This is pertinent.
"Guess you didnt feel like reading the part where I agreed with Jim saying it was bullshit."
That was my favorite bit. The bit where you agreed but still had to come up with a way to criticize it.

I reviewed this article but when i tired tried to review a game the article review was still there. I couldn't even lower the original score. I would have given it a 7/10 because of how bad it was.
@Jim Sterling - I didn't say all games, nor did I intend it, so I apologize for the misunderstanding on that part. However, I know of people who figured you'd give BF3 a slightly less than glorious review considering the railing you'd been doing on EA for some silly things leading up to it. Not saying 7/10 isnt glorious, or bad, but it seemed like you phoned in the BF3 review coincidentally right at the same time you decided to post every bad thing EA has done lately.
This is simply the greatest review system I ever heard. Except I think you should remove the opition and just give a score. Because for some people that's all they look at.
SephirothX: Sorry you felt that way. I mean, I think I put about as much into it as I did MW3, so you can't exactly say I favored one over the other in terms of time spent. I will play a game until I am sure that further play won't change my mind. I still feel the same way about both MW3 and BF3. If you like, I can hope back into BF3 a bit more and see if I change my mind. I could pencil that in after the holidays.
Anyone posting anything on here other than praise for Jim Sterling's shitty Stephen Colbert style copycat humor is wasting their time. He is obviously the only person on Earth who has ever been correct about anything. Though I do believe we must all admit that his reviews are shitty and full of terrible attempts at "humor" I feel everyone must also acknowledge that he likes Dynasty Warriors which means he can't be all bad.
I don't think you should dignify SephirothX's posts with a response Jim. He isn't worth the time you could be using to bash EA, online passes, and posting shitty reviews.
@Jim Sterling
Its your decision to do that. I'm just pointing out that it just sorta seemed awfully coincidental, with the whole EA thing and the whole rep you have of kinda being trollish.
Oh, and for the record, I do agree that EA is doing some pretty stupid things. I just think we need a break from it, its getting stale, kind of like making fun of Activision for milking Guitar Hero dry.

At the end of the day, it really comes down to this: Who gives a fuck what a single reviewer says about a game? Jim isnt the only one to piss people off with reviews, he won't be the last. He's done good reviews before, he's done bad ones, everyone has. If you share the same views as he does, they are great reviews, if you don't try another or some shit.
Make your own decisions and fuck off. You don't need a website to hold your hand.
Jim, as a whole, you are an awesome guy. I don't agree with everything you say all the time (most of the time HA), but at least I can be remotely civil respect your opinions for just that, being opinions, and not try to start bitch wars with everyone. and holy fuck there are some angry children on this site when it comes to your shit.
Keep it going, at the end of the day, i might talk some shit, but you've got my support.

SOMEONE is getting a tad touchy their reviews are being picked on, I see.
It's okay, Jim. Just because you criticize Mario Kart for "being the same thing" and then praise Call of Duty for "not changing" because you like it doesn't mean you've got double-standards or poor taste or no sense of guidelines to review a game by... it just means you're the same as the rest of us; unprofessional fanboys with opinions.
... Except you get paid for yours.

Just what I was expecting. :)
On a serious note, it would be interesting to spice reviews up with a video review or something...maybe even go back to the multi-man review format a couple of times, or just have two people with completely different opinions give reasons why they like/dislike said game. I'm thinking that D-toid could pull that last one off pretty well!

bub: multiperson reviews would be an awesome idea. I think they worked great in ign or whatever magazine did them.
"Just because you criticize Mario Kart for "being the same thing" and then praise Call of Duty for "not changing" because you like it"
I have to ask ... do you actually believe this? Are people actually believing this? Because when you read the reviews, they say a lot more than what people are saying, but folk are starting to give me the impression that they never saw all the words in the reviews and are basing their opinions off of a laughable, context-less misinterpretation they found on a message board somewhere.
Nah, that can't be it. I trust the intelligence of readers too much to entertain such a notion.

These comments are far more entertaining than any videogame. Jim, you have successfully goaded these poor, helpless bastards into making the single most pointless front page post the highlight of my day.
Jim Sterling: H8/10

How ca people not understand the cod and mk7 scores have nothing to do with being hypocritical, he just enjoyed cod more, thats how it works you silly little retards
Jim: Well.. You know.. (from the MK7 review) '...its contents are less fresh than the contents of Joan Crawford's underwear.'
(from the MW3 review) 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 treads familiar ground and focuses on tweaking rather than reinventing, and that's just fine.'
I suppose the comparison has at least *some* merit. I do agree that MK7 changes next to nothing, but MW3 changes little as well.
I still enjoy reading your review (usually), but come on, man.
