New Xbox 360 reviews tonight!(Kameo, Madden, PGR3, COD2)

Funny how it seems that 1UP is considered "professional, they know what they're talking about" when, for example, they say a certain game runs at 60fps and we should believe them, but as soon as they say something negative about another certain game, they're "unprofessional and immature"...

Nothing new really.

Umm, Gran Turismo 4 DOES run at 60 a lot of the time.

Not sure why you wouldn't believe them about that.
 
....... I'm sure you're winding me up....... But i really wasn't talking about those games. The sarcastic comment wouldn't work if i were talking about those games, can you read?!
 
I'm making fun of you because the discussion is always about Xbox/360 frame rates.

We have this big debate over COD2 whether it's 60..I cant see the same debate over a Sony game.

I'm really sure objectively, Xbox framerates are as goood as any other console. But people always trash it

Don't mind him he's my personal stalker. Let alone that he doesn't know what he's talking about half the time.

1. I've never metioned 1up's views on COD2(what have they said exactly?), I've only mentioned what the developer stated about the framerate.

2. I have no problem with 1up.com. I have a problem with this particular reviewer taking potshots at Rare.

As par the course he makes an ass out of his self as usual :rolleyes:

Just ignore him. ;)
 
Neither of you have answered my questions (why is it that some people can change their view of a website's professionalism according to what they say about their new toy), but it's ok, it's better to make fun of posts or insult people, rather then address the issues at hand.

Seeya, the forum is in your hands. And look what it's become.
 
After reading the 1up Kameo review, I don't know, it is a mixed bag, not the game, but the review it self. This guy does seem to have a problem with Rare, was that mudslinging really necessary?...
 
For good or for bad there are only 2 review sources that i trust:eek:ne is gamespot and the other is Edge magazine.I have found out that the reviews from these two sources seem to stand the test of time much better than the rest of sites/magazines.

So the only review that means something to me is the 8.7 from Kassavin(!!!) for Kameo.Both of the 1up.com reviews seem silly to me for different reasons.I really doubt that PGR3 is a 10 and Kameo is a 7.They both seem to be written by childish ******s.The PGR3 is "OH MY GOD THE GRAPHICS...........10!!" and the Kameo is "I CAN'T STAND RARE'S KIDDIE GAMES......7".

On the other hand GS's review of Kameo is really well written and very informative about the game..

You're stuck in a vacuum dude. I don't have the time or the energy to respond to your obnoxious posts anymore. You twist people's words to fit your agenda. You talk down to people that have a different opinion than you. To answer your question: Nobody(or atleast not me) has changed their view on 1up.com Can you even point to ONE person, just ONE person that said that? But I do question the integrity of that reviewer with the comments he made. All your hostility has to do with someone prefering a certain console, you seriously need to grow up.

I'm commenting on the fact that 1UP were NEVER a good website to base our opinions over (no website is afterall). It seems however that the site has received lots of attention and has become reputable after a few baseless reports that some people liked very much because they put their favourite company under a better light.

Am i talking about you? Why do you always feel i'm attacking you? When i want to attack you, i quote you.

1UP was always an amateurish site and always will. Their crappy reviews have always been crappy. Only now they are seen as "professional" by some people because of some articles they made.

Obviously it's easier for you to attack (and insult) London-boy than to actually read what London-boy writes. Then you get surprised i give you bad rep?
 
1up is actually turning into a big site.

Like a year ago I didn't really know of them, but they're becoming pretty big.

You're so full of it.

I post this:

One thing that makes me question the 1up review is that they take all these immature potshots at RARE at the end. How professional, he barely even described the game. The Gamespot review goes into far more detail. And Greg Kasavin of all people gave it a good score, then it must be good.

You respond with this ridiculous fodder:

No, you weren't incorrectly trying to call me out, making yourself look like an ass. And I was just overreacting :rolleyes:

I agree.Nobody cared about 1up.com a few months back. It is a poor and amateurish site and the only "advantage" it has is its connection with EGM(which in itself is a pathetic excuse for a videogames' magazine).

Their reviews are horrible,not just bad but horrible and the Kameo review is a good example.Nevermind the score,just compare the text of 1up's review with the text of IGN's and gamespot's reviews.IGN might also be a joke but at least IGN's reviews(again ignoring the scores) are usually informative.

You believe what you have to believe, by continuing with your insults, you keep getting your posts reported. Much more senior and valuable people than you were banned from here for similar reasons.

And by the way, you still haven't commented on what i've said, even after the post i made to explain my points. Instead, you kept attacking me on a personal level. Way to go.

Just because one of my posts happens to be directly underneath yours doesn't mean i'm responding to you in particular. You post a lot, i post a lot. It happens.

If you didn't have such a condescending attitude maybe I would address your points(which were not your original ones). But since you're incapable of having any meaningful discussion without taking immature potshots it's pointless. It's baffling someone as obnoxious as you has so many green blocks. But no matter, I'll be ignoring you from here on out.

Let's carry on with the discussion.

If it's true..?

Seriously, get over the Rare jibes/lamenting. It's inevitable if their games don't live up to Rare's historical pedigree. If the game was actually that good, I doubt the reviewer would bring up these points, but if he really feels the game isn't that good, it's fair for him to question the developer, particularly in the context of a string of relatively "disappointing" games from them.

If PD0 bucks this trend, I'm sure this reviewer will gladly welcome that.
 
Rare turned from great to terrible the minute they went to MS.

More or less.

I dont remember them being much but praised with Nintendo.

Isn't that a fact.They really haven't changed that much,i mean a game like Kameo feels like a next gen banjo or something but they don't have the rapid nintendo fans to cover them.Ms' fans are much fewer on the internet and don't care that much anyway.

The fact that 1up.com's review has somehow more value than gamespot(or IGN) is very telling of the whole story....
