Tom McShea has done it again. The GameSpot Editor became infamous back in 2011 for his botched review of Skyward Sword where he awarded the game a strong score of 7.5 out of ten, yet criticized the game’s control scheme due to nothing more than his own incompetence. A subsequent video review showcased McShea waggling and pointing his remote at the screen, obviously completely missing the gist of one-to-one motion controls.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
I have a general lack of faith these days in opinions from certain media. It's either wrong of just very inconsistent. Then again it's equally so for a lot of gamers's opinions too. Best to just go by your own gut feeling most of the time. Makes sense to read a selection of reviews for the sake of educating what a games might be either way, but then it's down to you to decide
Truth is some games take a great deal of time to fully form a qualified opinion and that somtimes isn't afforded on them in these reviews or indeed from gamers that reach the same ill formed conclusions
Gamespot are Nintendo bashers not used the site for 4 year ? wankers.
7.5 for Skyward sword ? says it all.
They suck they have gotten worst .. don't bother sending them complaints or help request they wont reply its like Valve and Steam. I don't go to the site anymore.
Gamespot is a joke, no one needs to rebut anything these guys say. No one working or associated with Gamespot in an official capacity has any real credibility. And yes that includes Giant Bomb, but I am happy those guys got paid for selling their company.
I certain don't trust anything Giant Bomb says anymore, but I am glad to see these guys get paid for all their years of hard work and credibility. Sadly, the current state of video game journalism doesn't allow for much, if any, credibility.
