Adam Sessler Responds to Kevin Pereira: "It's On"

Adam Sessler isn't one to take criticism lying down, so he responded to Kevin Pereira's criticism of Fable II being picked for Game of the Year in Tuesday's X-Play's Best of 2008. Sessler has accepted Pereira's challenge, and is poised to head to Attack of the Show to provide a response. Exactly what that response will be, we have no idea, but, according to Mr. Sessler, "It's on like f***ing Donkey Kong."

[rucky]

Entertainment at it's finest.

[TheTwelve]

Hmmm...seeing two geeks go at it? Not sure about that. I highly prefer seeing two girls wrestling over this. Both are just as futile as the other but at least one looks good.

Adam Sessler:

"bu.. bu.. but i can now live my life long homophelic dreams of marrying a man. i've been shunned in society and my State doesn't allow gay marraiges and so Fable 2 has given me the chance to live my dreams. Fable 2 is GotY!!!"

:)

[Michael Jackson]

Adam is not Sessler's real name. He just made it up to compensate for his lack of an adam's apple.

Well, it sure sounds better than Balls Sessler.

[INehalemEXI]

This reminds me of something from WWF...but with scrawny dudes.

[Bnet343]

I go with Adam over Kevin "I'm a tool" Pereira. He thought Too Human was a good game. Adam knows a good game when he sees one.

[Gamekilla]

1. Pick a controversial game of the year
2. Have one person on your channel disagree with another
3. Start a subtle but snowballing back and forth
4. Get hits for your website and Ratings for your TV show
5. PROFIT!!!!!

[Mozilla89]

I'm about 99% sure that this is scripted by G4 to get them back in the news a little bit. I haven't seen X-Play in a long time but man Sessler looks old!

[MazzingerZ]

Yeah, if this was not pre-agreed, their bosses would have already stopped this...rating for them and for Fable 2...I'm sure that at the end the other guy will agree and say maybe Fable 2 deserves GOTY after all...marketing for X360 games has no limits.

[meepmoopmeep]

the winner is Gamekilla
+bubble

you must have majored in marketing

[mikeslemonade]

Why would they choose one peron to nominate what is game of the year. The company is so huge they should atleast have 10 people to discuss what really is game of the year. One person's opinion doesn't matter and doens't hold much weight.

[SL1M DADDY]

And that all this is, is a ploy to gain points in the ratings. Imagine if you will. One guy on a particular network names a game that should not necessarily be GOTY, as their pick for GOTY and an uproar starts. Then, another guy on the same network I might add, challenges this GOTY and the uproar ensues yet again. Then they go head to head and everybody watches thus bringing up the ratings. It's pathetic.

[SaiyanFury]

Gamekilla is right. Much of G4's people read from scripts so they can get more viewing, especially at this time of year where the games market really has a lot of sales. I prefer to get my information from something other than G4 about 100% of the time. Who knows, maybe MS threw money at G4, Lord knows they seem to do it for everything else.

[PopEmUp]

Funny you guys should watch this

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[JsonHenry]

Lol, my money is on Kevin.

[jrsenkbe]

Kevin is the better TV person overall, however both are tools when it comes to rating games. They let their biased's get in the way, along with the potential money from companies, like EA or MS. The only reason people think they matter in the game world is because there the only ones on TV talking about games in a prime time spot.

[prowiew]

I bet for Adam. Fable 2 definitely deserve the game of the year. I applaud them for not picking the obvious and go for the real game of the year. im sorry guys, but fable 2 is my game of the year, Ive been saying this since I played the game.

[meepmoopmeep]

Adam Sessler: "GAYble.. i mean, Fable 2 is GotY"

:)

[pixelsword]

...except be a good and entertaining show.

[DNAgent]

If this is entertainment at it's finest then I would hate to see it at it's lowest because I am sure they would look similar.

[Timesplitter14]

I'm not really angry at him anymore. This just made me realise that everyone has their own opinions and they're not evil just because of their preferences. Fable 2 is a great game afterall....

Anyway, this is entertaining

[NDN_Shadow]

Seriously, when X-Play did their staff picks, Adam was the only one who suggested Resistance 2. Source here: http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/f...

[MasterBlaster]

Every one does have their own opinion but when you are a major gaming publication that many people are going to listen to and decide what games to buy then your opinion should at least be close to a good one. I'm sure there will be people that agree that Fable 2 is GOTY but when you think about it there probably will be people that say that Too Human is GOTY but that doesn't mean they are right.

[mesh1]

HAHAH I LOVE HOW PEOPLE BYPASS THAT it was awarded goty by a grou of people not adam sessler personally . also i love how they owned you guys 1st they sens that guy to say fable 2 is not goty( staged ofc)then they annouce a battle between him and sessler to argue the pointr hahah knowing that a lot a lot of people would love to see this meaning they get a massive boost in viewers this idea of that guy calling out sessle was all planned before hand .

[The Matrix]

Fable 2 not quite the game of the year in most people's opinions but xplay is entitled to it's opinion.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

"at least be close to a good one."

Which I assume is something you like right Master Blaster? What does it take for people to realize that these are opinions.

And now I will share mine; IT WAS A GOOD CHOICE!

You started off good but then failed with that quote.

[Blaze929]

G4 is ridiculous

[Capital G]

when an 89 average game is goty you know its good time to be a 360 owner :-)

[Michael Jackson]

What does the G stand for? Garbage?
Well, that's Garbage with a capital G. :)

[Durffen]

So when a game gets good ratings, it's good to be a 360 owner?

I understand your trying to be funny. But seriously, anytime is a good time to own any console.

[Aclay]

LOL, Capital G, your avatar looks like a Mugshot.

A video game rating really has nothing to do with GOTY, really it all just comes down to personal preference by the video game site.

As long as G4's GOTY pick wasn't GTA4, I respect their opinion.

[beavis4play]

bubbles.
sorry, capital g....when an 89 360 game gets GOTY; it just means a bunch of xbox fanboys were voting.

[tehReaper]

beavis4play

No, it just means everyone has an opinion. Only fanboys use metacritic and any variation of it. On X-Play it got a 5/5. Does that mean they're wrong? Nope, it just means they enjoyed the game more than others.

[No Way]

I don't know how with as many disagrees you get for every comment in which you post, you STILL have five bubbles..

Ha.

[Chug]

Capital G is a Nine Inch Nails song. But in his case, yes G probably stands for
Garbage.

[TOO PAWNED]

I am sure that there is video in existence of Adam Sessler and Kevin Pereira doing "2 guys 1 cup", there is such vid in some secret vault.

[Wenis]

Someone needs to tell them that pointing fingers is rude.

[cmrbe]

of gaming journalism.

[beavis4play]

looks like you had a journalist disagree with you!

[xXSilentXx]

on X play where always noobs ar lol :P

[beavis4play]

sessler mentions "inarticulate 12-year-olds".....and then says to kevin p. challenge - "it's on like donkey kong"
yea, THAT'S real mature adam. those two arguing will be like 2 twelve-year-olds.

man, 5 years ago G4tv was so good......now it's just trash.

[Sharpshell]

I remember when I enjoyed G4 (tech tv). It mean it doesnt really matter who Addam makes game of the year but this who THING to generate views, is kinda lame. I know thats like the point of a TV channel but I personally think its lame.

[doomx56]

" It's on like Donkey Kong" ....
My jaws dropped when I read that

[beavis4play]

these 2 guys are a couple of opinionated, self-serving mooks.

[thebudgetgamer]

sessler is constintly fighting for us a gamers hes the one going head to head with that thompson guy so now you disagree with him so he is a bad guy and everyone wants to bash him

@beavis
fair enough i hear ya

see you in home

[beavis4play]

and i might have agreed with you several years ago. but he's changed in the last few years. and no, i hardly ever agree with him. most of the time i find his agruements for anything (games or whatever) to be very poorly worded and thought out. and i don't just bash him. i don't care for many of the people hosting shows on G4tv. actually, i haven't watched the channel since sarah lane, diane masoto, tina wood, laura foy, and geoff keighley left the channel.

[xlx-russ_92]

hes pissed of

[Durffen]

So what if Fable II is Game of the Year? Why do most of you complainers even come on this site if you just complain about other peoples opinions?

I think Fable II was awesome. I don't know if it's MY game of the year, but it is Adam Sessler's, so shut it.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

The level of complaining in this thread is in direct correlation with what system you own. You will see the cry babies, whiners and haters own a PS3. Just click thru the commenters profile and you will see exactly what I'm talking about.

[Michael Jackson]

Let Olivia Munn settle this and not these 2 girly men. I know I'd love to settle it with her.

[INehalemEXI]

I say give her a salmon and let her slap some sense into them.

[BigKev45]

Yeah, I would giver her the Daddy Long Stroke.

[TrevorPhillips]

common we wanna see a Geek Fight

[beavis4play]

i doubt we'll see punches.....they act/look like a couple of slappers and kickers.

[DiabloRising]

*yawn*

G4tv sucks. Period.

[Odion]

so does the PS3 but I don't ram it down your throat do I?

I am just kidding by the way

[DiabloRising]

You speak subjective opinion.

I speak objective fact.

;-)

[NegativeCreep427]

FA*GOT NERD FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Who are you fighting?

[pixelsword]

:D

[poopface1]

Its his opinion. If he really is a huge 360 fanboy and just wanted to pick a 360 game he would pick gears because it got higher reviews, and would be less likeley to come under scrutiny. I think he just really liked fable 2. Not everyone likes LBP or Gears the most. I can see why the guy might be tired of shooters(thogh FPS is MY favorite type of game).

[da_hitman81]

I'm glad Kevin called him out cause i feel the same way.
now before someone shouts PS3 FANBOY!!! I also own a 360 and Fable 2.

the game was ok but nothing ground breaking, which is why i can agree with Kevin.

If you wanna see another review on this game check out this video http://www.escapistmagazine...

Enjoy!!!!

[SEG]

the females from each show should mud wrestle!

[Max Power]

myself as referee!

[X12Celtics3]

Gaming could be a serious industry, similar to movies, if only people like this would shut up. Not that I don't like the guys, but when you start things like this, using lines like 'it's on like Donkey Kong', it makes the industry look as immature as the general public perceives it to be. Why can't somebody accept that another person might have a different opinion and/or taste in games, resulting in a different game of the year?

[Ap3theBad]

of course 2 girls fastly ripping eachothers cloths off in a mudd grudge match is more of my interest by fAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAr... i love how geeks get made though .. first they build up soooo much hate and anger then there eyes get INTENSLY demonic and red and then as you think their gunna rip your head off or pull a gun,... they start slapping you like crazy lol.

[red_ring_of_death]

fable 2 sucked

[Bill Gates]

.

[kosovo]

what a waste!
foolssssssssssssss
ssssssssssssssssssss
sssssssssssssssssssss
ssssssssssssssssssssss
ssssssssssssssssssssss
ssssssssssssssssssssss
ssssssssssssssssssssss
sssssssssssssssssssss
ssssssssssssssssss

[mario888]

They should have him drop his check from Bill Gates while he on the show.

[celldomceen1]

I wonder when sesslers opinion became fact.

[Socomer 1979]

fable 2 = microsoft game studios = you dont bite the hands that feed you.

Its a joke. Good game but even more of a letdown for most.

[SixAmpFuze]

how do you bash someone for their opinion? Foolish fanboys

[celldomceen1]

not bashing just disagreeing, he is entitled to his opinion just like everyone else. it just seems that the glaring majority disagrees with his opinion.

[S1CKLY]

oh, I'm bashing 100%.. f**k Sessler.. lmao

I just do not understand how a game that obviously was rushed so much that they forgot that they needed a boss fight and a conclusion to the story makes GOTY... That makes no sense to me.

So yes indeed. I am bashing Sessler because he either didn't finish the game and made his conclusion on partial evidence.. or he's just stupid and doesn't care if a major game studio rips him off.

[Matix]

You tell him, Adam

[Mutley416]

who`s gonna win the douche bag or the chit sandwitch?

Olivia that`s who...She wants me!!!! I wanna make babies with her...I`d wreck that chic...lol Off topic....lol

[SixAmpFuze]

but on n4g theres no "disagreeing" with anything that includes something positive for the 360 theres only bashing and thats what 98% of the "others" are doing

[kewlkat007]

This swill only make gamers more curious about FABLE 2.

How much have that game sold already...

This fight must be a conspiracy..MS's in on this.

[iggypop123]

g4 is doing this now. damn so pathetic. i know they cant have olivia munn naked on the channel 24 hrs of the day but be creative. dont make up fake fights

[NarsilianShard]

it's still more entertaining than 99% of the other crap on tv

[QQcrybaby]

I wonder when we wil get a TV channel about video games.

p.s. Fable II? lolz

[VirusE]

Ahhhh shameless marketing ploys at their finest.....

[robotnik]

Real life fanboys, LoLz.

[Enigma_2099]

But I kinda like Sessler...

... and my god, am I the only person starting to miss the goofy old X-Play? At least they did more reviews back then...

[SprayandPreycom]

jerry jerry

[NarsilianShard]

2 things I love:

feuds

G4

[Chrissy]

''I dont like your opinion therefore Im calling you out for a debate on the internetz to prove that you are wrong and Im right''

Game jurnalism @ an all time low:\

[dolomite]

lol, i'd have to go with kevin on this one.

[N2NOther]

If there are people that think Fable 2 is Game of the Year, I've yet to meet them...I named it as my biggest disappointment of the year and most of the people I've talked to disagree. The game is filled with slow down, load screens, a week story, lack of customization options, a terrible co-op implementation and little replay value. It is fun while it lasts, but I can name about 10 other games that are better.

I'd love to hear Sessler's reasons for picking this over GTA IV or Metal Gear Solid 4...Or Fallout 3 even.

[S1CKLY]

This is all I'm sayin.

Props to you, good sir.

[nyscorp]

its on like baby , but seriously now i think this completes the theory that xplay is rigged i mean come on fable 2 game of the year ?????

[KidMakeshift]

Yeah!!! Read that teleprompter

I can't wait for the uneventful scripted clash between the two in a desperate attempt for ratings

[rawd]

I'm really interested to see what Adam "I chug MS c0ck" Sessler has to say. Ok not really

[SwiftArsonist]

fable 2 is not game of the year. MGS4 or Gears of War 2 may fit that bill.

[Gantrfaxx]

Fable 2 GOTY? WTF!?!

[Sikct9a]

Hurting for ratings I see.

[EvilCackle]

This is as genuine as Kanye and 50 Cent's beef.

[mirroredderorrim]

In other words, as genuine as a politician.

[thematrix1298]

another marketing bs by g4tv?

[Amnesiac]

Stupid

[otherZinc]

Someone needs to jump on the 68 reviewers that rated LBP above a 9!

That game sold like crap & was supposed to propel the PS3 past the 360 in 08. If LBP were not a pack-in, it would never have made a million in sales.

LBP is what Kevin should be pissed about.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

If only these game had sold better...they'd be good.

Listen...Fable II got over 1 million in two weeks, but that doesn't mean it was that great of a game.

MGS4 is the best game this year though...there's no denying it.

[Makidian]

Who else wishes they culd punch Sessler in his face and kick him in the balls!?

[Tewi-Inaba]

I lol'd :D

[YogiBear]

This is silly everyone knows MGS4 is GOTY.

[NaiNaiNai]

go adam, woop that panzy kevin back to his pathetic ass show.
-nai-

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

You take this stuff seriously, people?

They have these things called "scripts" that they read from and they're written by people that don't actually enjoy video games. Do you understand that? This network is a joke. The gaming industry has become a joke to the media.

Look at the Video Game Awards. Spike TV? Really? I can't believe you people fall for this sort of crap...

[Cra1g]

Why do they always talk so freakin' fast?

[nyscorp]

first let me say i hate aots the show sucks sorry just had to say that but seriously people we all no that kojimas masterpiece deserves game of the year no matter what console you have mgs4 gives video games a good name period

[Batzi]

...gayest on G4.

[Azures]

Yawn, two assholes no one cares about. They should just condense AOTS and Xplay into one show; Have Olivia Munn and Layla Keyleigh host. Guarantee it makes bigger ratings than everything on that network combined. Fill the rest of the time with Ninja Warrior and Cops. Now thats a network.

[James Vanderbeek]

GAYNESS.... I bet adam and kevin make butt love in fable 2.. cant you have sex in that game?

[AriesFury]

Let them go at it like Ultimate Fighters!

[Razzy]

Who the f**k cares what either of the knobs think about anything. Sheesh.

[KrimsonKody]

I think they should battle it out in a fighting game, like;
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2
MK Vs. DCU
Street Fighter
or Soul Caliber

That would be worth watching...

[hulud86]

I thought poeple only pay attention to Oiliva Munn on G4?

[Gambit07]

Where does "It's on like a DK" originate from?

[memots]

Why wonder those are only expression.

Here one . I'm Down like a clown Charlie Brown.

[belowradar]

X-Play & AOTS have been garbage for a few years. Bring back the old Xplay when they had fun and bashed garbage games. Now all they do is fluff games. Even ones they have demo on set even when you can tell that the gameplay is garbage and the game looks like arse.
G4 has no original programming anymore. For a gaming channel they have hardly anything worth watching anymore.
It's a shame imo.

[firebat]

may the 2 biggest virgins duke it out

[likedamaster]

Maybe Pereira needs to finish the game before ripping it.

[N2NOther]

I'm glad Kevin called out Fable's many flaws such as lame dialogue, lack of depth, horrible co-op and boring jobs.

[Blink_44]

They probably planned this.
They need the ratings.
