wtf are you talking about?

15 years ago those review scores sent people into a frenzy. Op would like to talk about it now in 2022 for some reason
Ryan Flores
People stopped caring about scores since gamergate
And the only people who cares are the same people that need a point to win their discussions, like why botw is better than some sport game from 2009

I remember reading something about the New Vegas one where Obsidian would only receive their bonus if their meta score was 85 or higher
I don't know if that's true, but if it is, then it definitely seems like it was corporately influenced
Lucas Myers
>wtf are you talking about?
Jeff Gerstmann gave an 8.8 score to TP and people went apeshit
Charles Watson
I still don't know why I'm supposed to think TP is a bad game
Carter Lopez
8.8 is a great score
Why are they seething? Nintendies are pathetic
Caleb White
BOTH INFERIOR THE THE BEST 3D RPG OF ALL TIME
Wyatt Rodriguez
Or you know, Zeldafags speficically are pathetic
Luke Collins
It's funny how in retrospect the 8.8 was really generous by gerstmann
Daniel Phillips
>Jeff Gersmann is fat!!! LOL!!!
Indescribably based
Angel Gutierrez
As cancer as all journalists not just game journos are it's hard not to see where they are coming from at times after 8.8

Why would you take less money than you're stopping someone else from getting without ratting?

It was seen as OoT2 back then, people wouldn't settle for anything but 10/10, it was a really silly overreaction.

Only retards care about review scores. Gaming journalists can't be trusted.
Jacob Young
It's actually brought up in an economics textbook as an example of unreasonable consumer expectations.
Some user posted a pic of it once.
Jackson Sanchez
This pic only makes me want to have "boy".

Now you have streamers/influencers who are literally paid to shill games directly.
The old model was unironically a thousand times better, where print and internet media journos had an actual salary and stable job, instead of following trends and getting paid off by publishers, always a couple missed streams away from their house of cards collapsing and returning to obscurity.
Every old unsubstantiated claim about payolla is now unequivocally true, out in the open, among the tastemakers of the medium.
And retarded zoomers, including ones ITT who don't remember GerstmannGate, don't even realize that they've been fucked.

"gr8 b8 m8 I r8 it 8.8" -jeff gerstmann
Carson Thompson
I don't care about the score, what irks me is that Betheshit promised bonus pay to Obsidian if they got 8.5 and it just stop at 8.4.

I'd be more tempted to agree with you if all of them didn't swallow a giant dildo in 2014 and decide their audience and games was the enemy.
Samuel Jenkins
Gamespot and IGN had top heavy reviews, any new instalment from a cherished series or highly anticipated title not getting in the mid to high 9s was indicative of the game being less than an all time great. Everyone desired a high score to validate games they liked so they can feel that they're living through the good times, experiencing the all time great video games as they released.

Got you interested enough to reply ;)
