GameSpot putting up Resistance tournament

It may be in an alternate dimension, but humanity is going to need all the help it can get if it hopes to survive the Chimera scourge. To that end, GameSpot has opened up registration to all registered users for the Humanity's Last Stand tournament for Resistance: Fall of Man. Until 11 a.m. Pacific, gamers who sign up for a free account can file rank into the 128-team tournament for Insomniac's shooter. With 10 gunners to a side, the Resistance tourney will be played out in assault mode.

its been a few months since i got online with this game. Im not that good anyway but i like a good fight

[marinelife9]

It's put on by Gamespot? No thank you.

[gamesR4fun]

Wont work you still suck

[Hatchetforce]

Exactly. Tell me this isn't a public affairs attempt to soothe things over.

[IdontTakeSides]

What trying to make peace with the PS3 community...

[shmee]

BUT what is lost is already lost.

GS is now a forgotten territory for PLAYSTATION fans.

GS is finished

[darkwing]

looks like it

[scrillakiller]

bout time they realise who we are.this is playstation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the num 1 brand name in gaming

[wil4hire]

They can burn.

[Ghost-Face]

this is nothing more than a pathetic attempt to get Ps3 fans back after there outrageous Ratchet review... GameSpot is a dead site in my book nothing will ever change that...

[lodossrage]

They should have had resistance tournaments LONG ago. Heck, they've had motorstorm tournaments, I have no idea why they held back on resistance until now.

But then again, gamespot does have a certain dislike for any and all things playstation as of late

[XxZxX]

LOL, a poor attempt indeed, CNET will eventually giving you up soon.

...

Wait bloodmask promoting gamespot.....hmmmmmmmmmm

[AllroundGamer]

yeah he will promote anything, that makes look PS3 bad :) but he is probably another nolife like his leader Mart...

[skagrerrrr]

by GS aimed at the ps3 community?

GS just gave Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation an 8.5

[shmee]

BUT will it help

I guess not

[Barreldragon00]

I don't care what they gave a game on the other console i just want unbiased reviews on mine.

[AllroundGamer]

isn't it funny, that Bloodmask contributed this? :D desperate little fanboy...

[Bonsai1214]

#1 i don't have my ps3 with me. :-(
#2 i haven't played online in ages. and all i did were sniper matches. haha. not sure how regular matches would go
#3 it seems like a sad attempt at gamespot saying "sorry" to ps3 fans. oh well

[fopums]

poor gamespot, Insomniac supporters are all pretty much done with your site.

[jay3]

...Guys, you're all saying "As a PS3 owner, Gamespot is dead!" Why? Because they gave a game a (not that bad) review? Grow up you lot. You're getting a tournament off these guys. You can accept it, or be fanboys.

[marinelife9]

Our choice. Why does it bother you? You own stock in cnet?

[wil4hire]

The point is that Gamespot provides NOTHING but negative reviews about the PS3. Ratchet was just the breaking point for me. They gave it to a total tool to review, which complained about too much variety... enough said right there. The ps3 has been hit at every direction for games, Too short, too repetitive etc. But when Ratchet delivers everything (and all the 9+ reviewers agree) Gamespot still has to grade the game as a 75%, which is a fine review, from someone who is qualified to review the game, not a sports reviewer who has never given a game a high 8 or 9 ever?

Why would I support Gamespot with my traffic, when they screw the pooch each and every single time when it comes to PS3 titles? There is nothing there that I cant get from IGN.

Cnet in general is 100% bull when it comes to the PS3. For some reason on metacritic.com PS3 games always get less reviews, even though gamerankings seems to find them.. And when they do get the reviews, they incorrectly report them.

Case in point, Game Revolution scored Ratchet & Clank a "B." The staff at Metacritic decided to report the B as a 75% on the site. Now metacrawling looks for certain tags, which does have a letter equation.. because when you look.. B's from Game Revolution are always 80+ Never.. 75%.

I am not saying this is some huge conspiracy, but something is up when it comes to the PS3 & Cnet, and I'm sick of giving those guys traffic.

[XxZxX]

marinelife9, good point. Or he just trying to separate himself from fanboys so that he looks more superior. You know some people just need to act neutral so he look cool and get to yell fanboys at guys. I think he is one of them. but seriosuly who the **** need gamespot to set a tournament.

"You're getting a tournament off these guys. You can accept it, or be fanboys. " ... see what i meant?? False choice, it said you can either accept it or else you are a fanboy.

[jay3]

I see your point. I didn't realise that the guy who reviewed it was an amateur. I just saw it as more Fanboy garbage, a lot like you see on this site of which you're no doubt aware. I see your point with the whole "Sites are trying to get traffic" idea and it's a valid one at that. I just jumped on the spot and had a go, just too many Fanboys on here to tell when someone has a good point or is just bitter.

And @ XxZxX -
I care because fanboys are the main problem of this site, and everyones just sick of them. You think I "act neutral" to look cool? Where do you get that from? I'm sorry, but I'm just speechless at how idiotic that post was. I was a little off the mark with that "Accept it or be fanboys" comment, I'll give you that, I should have been more clear. What I was trying to say was that you should just go "Hey, look! A tournament! Sweet!" or you can go "Oh no way, man! They hate PS3!! Blasphemy!" which is practically Fanboy-ism. If you have a decent reason like the poster I originally replied to, I have no problem.

[XxZxX]

you still dont see your false choice don't you.

Let's just look at your wonderful choice,
Your choice is
A. "sweet, a tournament in gamespot, i'll join"
B. "I won't go there because they badmouth PS3 and I am fanboy"

Duhhh.. who's gonna choose B and get branded as a fanboy. Your fallacy is if you hate gamespot becasue they badmouth PS3, you are automatically a fanboy. So you cant hate a game site that constantly gave unreasonable score to your console without being a fanboy?? Do you know the person that cry the most fanboy is the fanboy himself. I think you need to look deep within yourself.

[Loopy]

GS?
No thank you. Long gone from my books, even before the R&C:TOD screwup.

[mirroredderorrim]

I wonder if this is a response to the harsh criticism they got from their Rachet & Clank review.

[Tryst]

It clearly is.

I wonder how much they will lose from lose of subscribers leaving their site.

My only concern now over this whole RaC issue is how they review other PS3 games. Will they add a couple of points to try and make up for what they have done?!? It bit like how a football referee tries to give the other side the benefit after he realises that a decision he just made for the one team was wrong.

[AllroundGamer]

i think it's good, that now many people bash GS for their clearly biased review, cause then also another sites will take notice and hopefully won't take that MS bribe money so easily... i worked as a reviewer myself, i know how these things work.

[Imalwaysright]

GS must feel lonely without PS fans giving hits to their site... sad, so sad :)

[FirstknighT]

A Resistance tournament??? Nobody plays this game competitively. This game takes no skill, just a big sloppy fun fragfest.

[eleaz14]

of course the people play this

In what other game you can play a 40 people match?

[sajj316]

Thanks for letting us know that! Yup, no-one plays this game. I wonder if you play this game. You know, why don't you send me a friend invite on the PSN buddy. Wait a minute, do you have a PS3? Hmmmmmmmmm..

Ok, so I take your statement seriously and affirm it. No-one plays this game. Why would gamespot have a tourney of a game that no-one plays. Gee, I wonder. Come on FirstDude .. Think about it!

[SmokeyMcBear]

haha.. sorry but you got it the other way around.. with the mad bunny hopping, shotty melee combo fragfest that is halo3.. too funny

[solar]

being a ps3 and R&C owner (game f'ing rocks) i remember reading about this tourny a long time ago. it was a small blurp iirc. now its big news. ::shrug::

[gtgcoolkid]

Guys I am no fanboy although I have a PS3 and PS before then but I know both consoles bring something very good in terms of games to the table. Now the fact is that Gamespot is not only a disgrace to PS fans but Xbox fans also. Do you really want to believe a site which inflates low games scores knowing that they are doing it out of biasness? I think at this point any good gamer knows that the gs site is pure sh*t ever since Kasavin left.

[fishd]

sorry gamespot you are officialy dead to ps3 owners and these things dont change anything its better to stick with your halo3 tournament

[DeZimatoR]

man just stfu for once.

go have fun playing Halo 3 with 12 year olds (other than yourself and your group of friends, if you have any, that is )

bye bye ;)

[solar]

im sorry but nothing beats a good ol' spawn / rez of the commander of your team in bf2142. i got -162 points one match on some dutch server doing it and never got kicked. now thats more entertaining then a RFOM tourny. and i liked that game :D

[eleaz14]

keep begging gamespot, now everybody knows how biased you are

[RonDeMuerte]

Do you suffer from stupidity??.....7.5 is a terrible score for a major title......and gamespot is obviously biased towards the PS3.....not only do they review games badly, but they complain about the most retarded unimportant things......and I also remember they once wrote an article that was somewhat called "Ten things we found out to complain about the PS3 while everyone else was watching Little Big Planet".....so [email protected] them and their lame ass tournament...

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! dude just the fact that you actually replied because you wanted to certify that you're not actually stupid...pretty much proves that you're actually stupid, and not only that...but also insecure.....and what's with the "Oh my god. No"...hehe it sounds like people ask you that question a lot......oh and great comeback!!! totally blew my mind!!! keep using a serious condition that some people unfortunately suffer from...for your insults..... kudos on that!!

[Coke-a-Cola]

"Ten things we found out to complain about the PS3
while everyone else was watching Little Big Planet"

Thanks Gamespot

[jay3]

Oh my god. No, I do not suffer from Stupidity. Jesus Christ that's all I really have to say about that perfect example of a child with Down Syndrome.

[IdontTakeSides]

haha is there ever a post where atleast there isn't an argument happeninig..im surprised ppl found sumthing to complain about

@Jay3

Apparently you don't pay attention to what's really happeninig in the gaming world or else you would understand why us PS3 owners are over GS..how is that 95% of reviewers rave about a game then GS labels everything that's right about a game...WRONG..??..and quite beign so dramatic..Mr.prissy...!!

[jackdoe]

That's pretty cool, free tourney.

[nix]

LOL! q:

[sak500]

So for ps3 owners basically:

Gamespot is out cuz they're biased
Capcom is out cuz they sold their soul to Xbox360
Ubisoft is out cuz their ports for ps3 suck
Valve is out cuz Gabe said negative things about ps3
EA is out cuz they are just lazy
Cnn is out cuz they negative article about Ps3
Newsweek is out cuz they also had a negative thing to say about ps3

[mesh1]

hey GUYS DONT WORRY UR A SILENT minority the majority US 360 onwers have so real games to own man gotta go I HAVE TO DRIVE MY nissan skyliner in full 1080p on forza 2 bye

[rofldings]

1080p? No.

That's gran turismo, my friend

The superior driving simulator.

[zonetrooper5]

You could play 64 player Counter Strike Source matches or Day of Defeat matches. Practially all PC games will allow you to play up to 64 but most of the time its 32 or 24 as its gets too much and just becomes a big frag fest which is funny.

Black Hawk Down for the Xbox 1 was able to have 50 players online but I never played the game. I just don't get why you guys are so angry over a review, that being, someones opinion. Just get over it and play the games that you have got.
