Lets clear this whole thing up. My Destructoid comment.

As you can see in the picture, Jim Sterling himself took the liberty to intellegently and constructively reply with great handwriting to my comment on twitter, the best damn website in the world. While my comment does make a lot of sense, the swearing and flamming in it does lower the quality of the comment so he was able to use that to his advantage to make it look bad. But since I have been touched (albiet inappropriately) by fame, I will now have to explain why I made that comment and why Destructoid remains one of the worst websites for gaming ever.

Take a look at Destructoid's history in reviewing games. You will notice every single PS3 game on that website has been given an incredibly low score. Everything from Uncharted to Resistance to LBP has always been given a 6 at the greatest. One could argue that Jim Sterling's mind is unable to comprehend too much awesome at once so he assumes that game is terrible. But I think the more obvious explanation is that Jim Sterling is a raging fanboy who just wants to ensure that no PS3 games ever has a score higher than a 70 on Metacritic. So he does what he does best, make a little website to give his little opinion on games in order to put a dent in PS3 exclusives. Does Metacritic actually matter? No. Not when they accept such biased reviews as Jim Sterlings. But to fanboys, Metacritic will always matter and those who have the choice to shape it will do so.

So it came as a surprise to me when Destructoid actually released a positive PS3 review for once. Killzone 3 managed to get a perfect 10 . Why would they do this? Jim Sterling is an obvious fanboy who hates every PS3 game ever right? Then I looked at other reviews and realised that the meta score for Killzone 3 is going to be pretty mediocre even if Destructoid were to actually give it a pefect review. So this would be the perfect time for Jim Sterling to prove he is "not a fanboy" and give it a perfect score. After all, the meta score is screwed anyway so this is the perfect backhanded compliment as well as a cover up of his own agenda. Everyone wins, except for PS3 of course.

Im pretty surprised at the amount of negative feedback I got for my comment. Especially considering all the negative feedback that is usually directed at destructoid. Just because they have one "positive" score for a ps3 game doesnt mean that all of a sudden they are on your side and I find is incredibly hard to believe that the majority of N4G fell for that review. Learn to read between the lines and see that this was just Jim Sterling covering his own ass to make it seem like he is not a fanboy. Destructoid is still the same corrupt, biased, unprofessional website it has always been and that will never change. I can only hope Destuctoid will one day be banned from Metacritic because that would be the best slap in the face for them.

Also, thanks for commenting on my comment so fast Jim. I know you must be very busy and have a lot going on in your life so im glad you took the time to stalk N4G and respond to the first little commenter you saw.

Lol don't worry about it man. Jim is clearly insecure if he's willing to go to such measures. Actually that's the first time I've ever seen an image of the guy (I don't READ destructoid, I just laugh at their articles that appear on N4G), the dude is DEFINITELY insecure lol.

[HolyOrangeCows]

LOL, Jim stalks N4G? LOL, what a c**k!
I'm glad...this means he might have seen my comment on his ridiculous LBP2 review and shed a tear.

Sometimes his reviews are very true, but often they're absolutely absurd. Like claiming that LBP2 could be low on replay value. Yeeeeesh.

This is just plain sad, Jim. You read me? Yeah, you read me. U mad? Yeah, U mad.

[RedDead]

Doesn't change the fact that it was quite average, I liked it I really did, especially the map on the beach with Bots. It was still average though, especially compared to Killzone 2.

I'm responding to you here because you blocked me.

[WildArmed]

LMFAO.
biggest Lulz ever..
he took a screenie of n4g comments section... har har har
I'll never get over this one

[Rage_S90]

i think the truth about jim sterling is the only kind of games he likes are shooters thats the only kind of games he ever gives good scores to

[Cajun Chicken]

I left Destructoid and came here. Never looked back. Back in 2007 mention anything about PS3 having good games and most 360 games run on middleware that could run equal on PS3, you were just walking into hell.

Now they actually credit the PS3. It's stupid it took Uncharted 2 to do that even though arguably at the time, Uncharted DF was the finest animated, detailed, perfect game out there and exclusive to PS3. Everyone chose to ignore it and deemed it 'average' and praised games that didn't look as good, nor animated as well based on middleware.

Also, these guys were tracking Infamous a year before launch, so they kind of got redeemed, but as a social site. Never joining or commenting again.

Jim Sterling is also brutally honest in his opinion. Watch Jimquisition, it's actually damned funny satire. Still a bit of an over opinionated git though.

[Kon]

You should sue him. i hate this guy

[Ducky]

So, you assumed he's an anti-PS3 fanboy because he didn't like a few PS3 games, and then treat any action he does as a an attempt to dent the PS3's image? O.o

If he gives KZ3 a negative score, he's a fanboy.
If he gives it a good score, he's a fanboy trying to cover his ass.
When you've already judged a website to eternal damnation, then your criticism towards it holds little weight since there is absolutely nothing they can do to make you happy.

I checked up on a few of destructoid's scores, maybe I'm visiting a different site, but I see games like GodOfWar3, GT5, MGS4, and Uncharted2 among others with high scores. Jim didn't review them, but still... he reviewed Killzone2 though and gave it a good score.

EDIT: Looks like I got ninja'd by DK up there.

[Cajun Chicken]

Actually, Jim prefers Killzone to Halo.

[M4ndat0ry_1nstall]

He's right you are a "dumbass"...

[MidnytRain]

You sound like one of those conspiracy theorists. It's as if even though he ha bashed them in the past, you can't accept that for once, he actually liked a PS3 exclusive. The whole "If you're not with me, you're against me" mentality has gotten out of control. People are over-thinking things. We shouldn't be so defensive or easily offended by others' opinions and comments, especially when they weren't even personal to begin with. But some people act like it.

[Odion]

Killzone 3- 10/10
Uncharted 2- 9.5/10
LBP 2- 7.5/10
Resistance 2- 7.5/10
GT 5- 10/10

I don't know man that doesn't seem like its bias to me.

[pr0digyZA]

Off topic: may I just say that is the best string of bubbles I've seen, If you feel like giving to the poor I will take it for them :P

[Max Power]

He is a moderator for this site, so I think they get 10 bubbles automatically.

[Dsnyder]

Since im at one bubble due to the extreme flaws on this website, I will have only one reply. So In a way this is good so I will have to hit all the points at once. So here it goes!

First off, stop using emotional, vacuous words like "consipracy theorist" to make your argument seem stronger. If your going to label me as something, at least use the right word. Something like "realist" or "logical" or "common sense". Im not running around outside with forks trying to prove the government is hacking my brain. I Am not trying to prove what is unprovable. I am simply stating what should be obvious in the first place but no one seems to see as obvious.

When one follows a pattern, you can see who they are. Looking at every review Jim Sterling has ever done, you can see a pattern. Every PS3 game is reviewed poorly. It doesnt matter if the game is good or not. If Jim Sterling sees "PS3 exclusive", he rates it down. Of course as Destructoid has grown bigger, beyond that little one man 360 defense force that is Jim Sterling, They now have to make themselves look somewhat professional. Giving a backhanded score to a ps3 game every once and a while (looks like KZ games are 10s from now on) will obviously fool you guys into thinking that Jim Sterling is not biased when you should be looking at the bigger picture. He have LBP2 a 7 and Killzone 2 a 10 on the reason that he is a "Killzone fanboy"? That has to be the biggest volte faced lie ive ever heard. Since you all seem to believe this one little instance if positivity for a game is indicative of some sort of subjective reviewing, Jim Sterling will continue to get away with his biased reviews. This isnt something I use with every website either. Most websites are pretty fair and give good reason for their scores. I may not agree with all of them but I wont go off for IGN giving GT5 a bad score, because there are other PS3 games that they have reviewed well. Its only in this case where Destructoid has given ONE good game a proper score is when I start to see something suspicious going on.

Also why is no one even clicking the link I sent out? How often do you see "professionals" reply to commenters like me on twitter? You dont. That is the main reason for me writing this blog. To show that not only is Jim Sterling an unprossional, biased, fanboy who gets PAID for it, but is also mentally 12 years old. If his reviews were so great and well written, he wouldnt need to respond to anyone to prove it. Its the fact that he knows that he is a fanboy that he replied to me. So he takes the 12 year old take on argument and says "LOL DUMASS" which really should be a indicative of how "professional" he really is.

[Ducky]

Although I'll agree that he probably shouldn't have made the tweet, your comment was phrased in a way that hardly anyone would've sympathized with you (as you already admitted).
When you use strong language and then show worry over metacritic, most people who see the comment will see it as juvenile and dumbass-y. He just decided to be an ass and share the comment with a little extra jab thrown in.
I'm not sure if being an ass on twitter qualifies as 'unprofessional' though, since it isn't exactly linked to his profession. It's a grey area though.

Though, your third paragraph does sound like something a conspiracy theorist would write.
That, and people are likely to take you less seriously if you state things that aren't exactly true. You mentioned in your blog post that "you will notice every single PS3 game on that website has been given an incredibly low score. Everything from Uncharted to Resistance to LBP has always been given a 6 at the greatest. " Which turned out to be wrong. They've given more than one ps3 exclusive a good score, the names of which have already been mentioned in the comments.

How are we supposed to take you seriously when you're exagerrating things? O.o

[Threesix]

"Since im at one bubble due to the extreme flaws on this website, I will have only one reply."

Considering the nonsense you keep saying and that you're just ignoring the logic that people are presenting right in front of you, the system is actually working perfectly.

Your entire argument about Destructoid being one of the "worst" gaming websites is that their review system doesn't agree with your views and that you don't like how Jim Sterling reviews games. That might be a good argument, which by itself it isn't, if that was all the content that was on the website, but again you choose to ignore all the other content and articles. You're the epitome of the uninformed gamer that is so prevalent on this website and would be best served to just stop talking. You're digging yourself deeper in that hole and having a huge rant about Jim Sterling is laughable at best.

[GiantJedi]

Snap into a jim sterling :D

[WTFIGO]

Wow, you have one hell of an argument there, you've proven how much of fanboy Jim truly is. This is sarcasm just so you know Dsnyder, so you don't get you're little head all confused.

It's amazing how he actually states that not only does he love Killzone 3, but he believes the multi-player is better than any other First Person Shooter out there. Including Halo and CoD.

Don't agree? PM me and actually try to act intelligent instead of an upset 5 year old who spilt his milk.
