this would be a good thread to weed out the Basically Boys.

but there so original

 

[Roi]

So basically...



...are better than SMG.

Bully :lol
Bookworm Deluxe :lol



oooh Nintendo ;(

 

[Eteric Rice]

Factoring in 1ups bias towards the Wii.

Dayum... It's like, perfect.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

Laff.

 

[Loudninja]

No one should complain thought, its a great score for a great game.

 

[Amir0x]

They ended up editing the article to remove all references to a 10 score. :lol

oh jesus

skip you really make it easy for these conspiracy nuts don't you

maybe you LIKE it that way, you dirty boy!

 

[Thomper]

PLEASE STOP THE 'SO IT'S BETTER THAN' MEME. STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOOOOP IIIIIIT.

The review itself is great, the points made seem to be valid, and I'm pretty sure 99% of the people with a Wii on NeoGAF will buy the game anyway. Stop the bitching about scores.

 

[Greg]

I heard this game was filled with copy-and-paste levels and too much doodad collecting. :lol

 

[$1148 Jack]

Day -1

Spoiler

I plan on stealing it from the delivery truck.. wish me luck!

 

[Kuroyume]

So basically...



...are better than SMG.

Hey look, it's Sherlock Holmes.

 

[sk3tch]

I give the reading comprehension of GAF a 7.8 out of 10.

 

[Tieno]

everyone copy's wario!

He's good at starting memes.
His next one is probably "inject some nectar into this thread".

 

[Stahsky]

WTF?

Honestly, I can't stand 1up.

Their reviews make NO SENSE.

Mario Galaxy's review had nothing but glowing praise. I didn't even read a SINGLE NEGATIVE COMPLAINT IN THE ENTIRE REVIEW.

HOW IS THE 9.5 JUSTIFIED? WHAT DID THEY TAKE OFF FOR?

I don't mind the score, but I mind the review + score, in which it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Same thing with GameSpot and their Ratchet review.

Maybe the game simply wasn't amazing enough for a 10?

 

[eve241]

You people are so sad, commenting scores all the time. *sigh*

Who cares what scores it gets?!

Gamepro reviews Super Mario Galaxy Perfect 5/5

http://gamepro.com/nintendo/wii/games/reviews/144948.shtml

They give everything 5/5. Seriously, who gives a fuck about Gamepro's score?

 

[speculawyer]

If it was on the 360 and a shooter, it would have been a 10.0 along with Halo 3, Bioshock, and Orange Box.

 

[skip]

oh jesus

skip you really make it easy for these conspiracy nuts don't you

maybe you LIKE it that way, you dirty boy!

I had those references removed because I didn't see that article before it went up, and it was contradictory to our review stance that 10 isn't "perfect."

 

[Duke Togo]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Gigglepoo]

So that game any good?

Uninspired greatness, probably the second most fun games I've played this year (behind God of War II).

I expect inspired greatness from Galaxy!

 

[soco]

so the -.5 was because you couldn't choose the mini-games/levels you wanted to play or because it was missing online including co-op?

 

[Koshiro]

I've told you. The hate versus the Wii and Nintendo is reaching ridicolous levels. And the entire press community can go to the hell.

:lol :lol :lol

Oh and the 'So basically...' trend needs to stop now.

 

[sixteen-bit]

So basically VF5 is better

Should have had online play.

Spoiler

and yes.

 

[Loudninja]

They give everything 5/5. Seriously, who gives a fuck about Gamepro's score?

Mario

 

[schuelma]

I had those references removed because I didn't see that article before it went up, and it was contradictory to our review stance that 10 isn't "perfect."

I thought Parish put in the article a disclaimer that a 10 wasn't perfect?

 

[GitarooMan]

This thread will be a new low for GAF, and may be looked on for years as the very pinnicle (or nadir if you wish) of the review score thread epidemic unless some other site gives Mario an 8.5 or something.

 

[John Harker]

So Basically Mario Galaxy is worse than TP?

That's not saying much negative against MG, since almost every game is

 

[Splatt]

WOW

I did not expect that.

 

[Amir0x]

I had those references removed because I didn't see that article before it went up, and it was contradictory to our review stance that 10 isn't "perfect."

haaha i don't know if you realize that's actually somewhat worse that the original implication that you just like fucking with fans

 

[Feep]

This thread moves so fast, it might as well be some gimped chat room where you have to press F5 all the time.

 

[traveler]

If it was on the 360 and a shooter, it would have been a 10.0 along with Halo 3, Bioshock, and Orange Box.

Parish gave Halo 3 a 9. Clearly he would have scored it better had it been a colorful platformer for kids. Stupid bias against mature titles.

 

[skip]

I thought Parish put in the article a disclaimer that a 10 wasn't perfect?

he did, but it was still sending a mixed message that I wasn't comfortable with.

 

[immy]

He's good at starting memes.
His next one is probably "inject some nectar into this thread".

wario's going to have to be banned, his like the cool kid at school leading all the newbies astray






I'm just kidding don't eat me alive wario64 defense force

 

[gray_fox224]

So basically this game got a really good score.

Ditto. Enough of this "so its better than..."
That *ish gets old. This isn't a gamespot.com forum and lets keep it that way.

 

[Tideas]

:lol dude I'm with you but to put everyone that does it on ignore would be eradicating 78% of the posters on GAF.

Then reading would just be a lot easier to the eye and psych :lol

 

[Blackface]

Read the review.

Parish writes some of the best reviews in the entire industry and doesn't give 10's away like nothing.

Don't look at what the COMPANY gave other games look at what the reviewer did.

NeoFAQ's confirmed.

 

[AstroLad]

Bully :lol
Bookworm Deluxe :lol



oooh Nintendo ;(

Bookworm Deluxe is a great game. I'd rather play it than Mario, but then again I like words and hate fun.

 

[Snah]

Maybe the game simply wasn't amazing enough for a 10?

Well do you think they could have EXPRESSED that in the review itself?

Even some games that have received perfect 10s have had ample criticism within the text itself; yet, here we have Mario Galaxy that receives nothing but positive, glowing praise and it gets docked half a point for reasons unjustified.

Again - I don't care about the score, but the text combined with the score is just ridiculous.

 

[MisterHero]

well because this is the 1up thread I'll put it here

the game is obviously liked.

 

[Jirotrom]

I've told you. The hate versus the Wii and Nintendo is reaching ridicolous levels. And the entire press community can go to the hell.

ummmm.... it was a great review.

 

[skip]

haaha i don't know if you realize that's actually somewhat worse that the original implication that you like fucking with fans

I just want the message/meaning of our scale to be clear, is all.

 

[Mashing]

this would be a good thread to weed out the Basically Boys.

I'm in 100% agreement. I can't stand that stupid phrase and I hope it's banned soon.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

stop reading our site, please.

If those were his impressions of the review, it's obvious that he already did.

 

[Nolan.]

I don't think anyone who says ''basically it's worse/better than'' are serious.

 

[besada]

A reviewer needs to say it's a perfect game, then give it an 8. Just to spice things up.

Maybe they docked it for not having online. That's a .5 amirite:lol

 

[GhaleonEB]

Amazing.

(The score. The people freaking out over .5 are also amazing, but on a different scale.)

 

[gabe90]

That review was GLOWING.

That review alone just got me very excited for this game.

 

[No6]

I just want the message/meaning of our scale to be clear, is all.

Stop sending me mixed messages.


You naughty boy, you.

 

[Rancid Mildew]

That is an excellent score accompanied by a well written review despite what some people here think.

 

[Amir0x]

I just want the message/meaning of our scale to be clear, is all.

No i understand, the review itself is pretty much all face melting greatness and fun so no complaints from me, just found the article preceding it a bit amusing in retrospect. Thanks for the clarification anyway, although it's the other horde you need to convince now :lol

From here on out, post all Super Mario Galaxy reviews in this thread

 

[[Nintex]]

So... when are we expecting the Gamespot review?
