also why did the developers make every character in TP hideous except for Link and Midna
I think Zelda also wasn't hideous.

I agree with pretty much everybody else though.

oh right

I forgot Zelda was even in the game considering her role in it is pretty much nil, which is another thing that bugged the hell out of me. At least in the earliest Zelda games, you didn't see her because she was captured. In TP, she just sits in that damn tower and then heals Midna and then gets possessed and attacks you and then just kinda stands around during the end.

She was such a boring character in TP. :'(

I think I have plenty of experience, too. Getting paid for it doesn't make them any better, or me any worse. I play my games for fun, and not for money.

kane and lynch comes to mind
Maybe you do have plenty of experience and probably a lot more than me but again you dont make reviews and your experience is probably not even half as much as theirs.  So it makes sense that i would listen to their opinion first and then some random gamer.

Basically every 3D Sonic game I ever bought. Christ, they were all so fucking bad. madood;

Add to that Star Fox Command, Elebits and some other shit that I can't remember at the moment.

I'm actually making a couple more reviews right now and working on reviewing everything I own but we have no CMS and I don't want to bother adding anything more to what I've already slapped up because we'll end up just changing everything eventually. psyduck;

They're just random gamers that get paid. I'm a kid that spends whatever money he can find on games, so I'm going to be brutally honest if I wasted my money. Paid reviewers have no worries if the game is bad, because they didn't pay out of their own pockets.

i use review sites as guidelines to see if i might have an interest in it, but look towards the reviews of the general populace to determine whether i should buy it. if a guy living in his mother's basement spent $60 on a game and hates it, he probably knows more than anyone else because he's presumably been gaming for decades and he just blew whatever funds he had on a heap of shit. the paid reviewer takes no loss either way.

gee funny how those big ads slapped up all over review sites for just happen to always be ads for games that those reviewers give rave reviews to, even if the general populace doesn't like them much

JGE

It took me about 20 hours of gameplay to notice that I found the game really boring, too. I wanted to give it a chance at first, but I just couldn't take it anymore at a certain point.

Other that that, none really. I usually read reviews and such or buy games I've already rented before. Looks like I shouldn't have trusted the reviews for BK.

I'm not making shit up. psyduck;

It's actually pretty common to see advertising ploys in basically anything that does reviews.

To think that the reviewers aren't influenced in any way is a load of bull. As Lawlz said, "Kane and Lynch comes to mind."
