I think that's his point actually. You don't see people complaining as much when OXM or OPM or whatever reviews a game. OK, maybe that one PS Euro magazine, but those guys lost credibility long time ago with their dumb rumors.Draft said:

Serious response: I believe OPM and OXM, despite their names, are in fact completely independent entities, owned only by whatever publishes them, where as threespeech is literally funded by Sony. Could be wrong.Marconelly said:
Yeah, that could actually be correct, but I'm not sure either.Draft said:
That's a bit unfair to say - there was in fact a thread about Bioshock review from OXM, but it was the first review of the game out. In fact, this Threespeech review is again the first review of the game that I've seen (if it really is a review, I'm not sure quite frankly that they didn't just played that two level preview).

You acknowledge that the PS3 need a killer app and that this "review" comes from the official blog...so you're able to give it the benefit of your doubt........................Sirolf said:Yep i know this is an official blog but it acknowledges the fact that the PS3 is in need of killer apps right in the beginning.So i give them the benefice of doubt
They're a joke site from way back in the day when the SEGA/Sony war was the hottest thing going. They're sort of a parody of the "hardcore SEGA fanboy" of the time. Personally, I think they're hilarious.Kittonwy said:WTF does UKResistance have against Sony? It's like Hirai ran over their dogs or something.
The kinda scary thing is that a lot of people on their comments section take that site pretty dead seriously.Segata Sanshiro said:
your mission is to find a poster that said both of those things and report back, because i certainly didn't.tha_con said:
One is being paid for by Sony. The other is not paid by Microsoft (they actually pay MS for the name).tha_con said:
is it the one that needlessly used words like 'alacrity' or not?nofilter said:

i just see that kind of tosh on gaf a lot and it gets tired. if it's a joke it's one that's been done countless times already.tha_con said:Uh huh. Well I guess that settles it then. If it's not cats or dry sarcasm, it's not humor on GAF
tha_con said:I wouldn't say GAF is biased at all to MS. I will say GAF enjoy's bickering, complaining, pointing fingers, accusing, cursing, cats, over hyping, over exaggerating, flipping out, going crazy, freaking out, hating CEO's, pretending ot know they know PR, counting numbers, predicting numbers, cats, laughing at sales, cats, the ":lol" smiley, and lots and lots of Rick Roll.
GAF is a world where gamers think that they are the PRIME audience for every company. When in reality, the hardcore gamer is generally what matters least. GAF wants eveyrthing, and thinks of no reasons why x isn't happening, they simply 'want'.
But, this is our mind set as gamers, so who can blame us as a community? I mean, we've played games nearly all our lives, and we want the best. The problem is, in our younger days, we were content with anything, and everything SEEMED great. But now as we've grown older, we forget how easily we were entertained, and how bad those games / systems might have been, but we WANT more.
Nothing has changed, just gamers. So no, GAF isn't biased to anyone, we're just a bunch of upset gamers who want to be spoon fed.

there is a large number of gamers who think they are 'owed' things. things like free additional content. things like free online multiplayer. things like cheap consoles. i say we should praise the people that lose money on hardware, and give stuff that costs them money to make away for free, instead of attacking those that don't, and i say it a lot... i don't see that GAF is particularly guilty of that compared to anywhere else, or where the impression comes from that it's a majority that think that way.tha_con said:
