This sounds like satire.

You might be on to something here.

 

[thekiddfran]

haha I see some of the posts here didn't a actually read the apology.

 

[Chobel]

I didn't have time to check the thread but was the Uncharted 4 review thread like the third game? Was it bad?

Nah, I'm disappointed by you GAF :/

 

[Gintoki]

The replies at least on the first page of this thread will be something

 

[Eddyhdzg]

Nooooo, anything but Uncharted 3!

 

[Hasney]

Finally, we'd like to explain our position on Steve's attitude as a whole throughout the review, specifically the claim that he is too negative towards the game, or that he is 'bias' against it. While he does make superficially positive claims that it is bloody good, the best in the series, and that you should buy it, it is obvious that his anti-gaming agenda has gone too far. We should have noticed this sooner, and from now on we will be ensuring that Steve leaves all negativity at the door, no matter how justified by the experience. He has agreed to new, anti-bias review rules, which state that he should be universally positive about the game, regardless of the score, and that any and all criticism should take the form of a some nonsense which follows a breathless 1000 words or so of half-formed 'game is good because it is good/game is good because it's being made by these guys' thinking.

Brilliant.

This is as good as Sterlings 100% objective review.

First post didn't get it 😐

read again...

 

[Interrobang]

Very big of them to put their ego aside and admit when you're wrong

Their review was fine.

A well thought-out apology. Good on them for taking the time to respond to reader concerns.

Uh....

 

[Bananastand]

That guy got away pretty easy, you can't just have opinions like that whenever you want!

Exactly! If he was a woman he would have been forced to leave his house right about now!

 

[Maxey]

God damn it Steve.

God damn it.

 

[perfectsil]

Perfect thread to show who posts after reading the title and not the OP lol

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

First post didn't get it 😐

Knowing that poster, he got it.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

nvm, googled

btw, i liked this apology.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Ha, I was afraid there was actually going to be an apology. That would've been lame.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

A well thought-out apology. Good on them for taking the time to respond to reader concerns.

please tell me these aren't real lol

Hey mods, never been a better time to test if people read the OP / click article to read.


Omg, when I started making my reply there was 6 replies now we're up to 65.

 

[Spirited]

Did they really get criticised for giving it an 8/10?
That sounds ridicilous.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Repulsive. Steve should never work in this industry again.

 

[Robiin]

"its [sic] clear his personal thoughts are all over this is a stupid review"

Did someone actually write this, like for real?

 

[Bartholomuse]

Unfunny article is unfunny -_-

Would you give this article an 8/10?

Or dare I say...

hate/10

 

[Shaanyboi]

I laughed heartily. Great piece.

 

[OnionPowder]

Maybe with time I can one day find it in me to forgive Steve.

He should have known better though, an 8/10 just won't fly for an official review. Get your opinions out of there and get me ready to buy the game day 1.

 

[JayEH]

All these people thinking this is real lol.

 

[teruterubozu]

please tell me these aren't real lol

Hey mods, never been a better time to test if people read the OP / click article to read.

All these people thinking this is real lol.

How do you know they're not being sarcastic too? Oh internet.

 

[Resident_UA]

If there was a controversy about their review, I think their "apology" is awesome. But because I haven't heard anyone complaining about videogamer review it feels a bit like attention grab to me...

 

[Rembrandt]

Are people still trying to pretend outrage happened over U4 reviews? It didn't happen. If you have to mine youtube comments for exhibits you don't have a case.

yeah, what do they know. i read every comment and tweet about their review and nobody was upset.

 

[nib95]

"its [sic] clear his personal thoughts are all over this is a stupid review"

I've seen much worse in YouTube comments lol.

 

[Vuze]

Kudos to them, at first I thought it was sincere lol

 

[Bits N Pieces]

I fucking love Videogamer. Best site on the web right now and has actually surpassed Gametrailers and Giant Bomb as my favourite site.

I can see the humour being lost in translation for quite a few though

 

[Darryl M R]

Bravo sir.

 

[ciddative]

First post didn't get it 😐

I think you didn't get it.....

 

[DedValve]

Why force him to play Uncharted 3 again that game was the best one!

 

[BocoDragon]

Opinions:

Never again.

 

[rashbeep]

Very big of them to put their ego aside and admit when you're wrong

lol

 

[Jean Valjean]

Where's the outrage because of their review?

 

[Machina]

This happens with literally every big AAA title that comes out. Are there really that many people out there who need a pointless crusade to fight?

 

[Bartholomuse]

All these people thinking this is real lol.

American "humour" m8

Do you know they clap after eating meals an shit

fukin weird

dont get nuffin they dont

 

[Stalk]

Best 7/10 article of the year.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

It's like "videogamer.com just shot themselves in the foot... publicly apologize for your opinions or kiss your clicks goodbye, " and they did.

 

[VichoCardenas]

And that's why I love Videogamer.

 

[Princess Carl]

please tell me these aren't real lol

Hey mods, never been a better time to test if people read the OP / click article to read.

Missing sarcasm to pine for mod attention?

 

[Hasney]

"its [sic] clear his personal thoughts are all over this is a stupid review"

Did someone actually write this, like for real?

Yes. Personal thoughts should have no place in a review process. I'm surprised he hasn't been executed yet.

 

[DNAbro]

I didn't realize there was a "controversy" over their review.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

This sounds like satire.

 

[h0tp0ck3t]

Like true fans of the series he should have instead gone in with the presumption that it would be the best game ever made simply because of who was making it...

LMAO

 

[Englebert3rd]

Reading that apology reminded me of this:

Loved the sarcasm!

 

[Loudninja]

I didn't realize there was a "controversy" over their review.

Yeah I dont get it.

 

[CloudWolf]

Good of them to admit it, there are way too much opinions in gaming. For Uncharted 5 I expect Videogamer to do this:

 

[Durante]

Brilliant.

I'll have to admit that the "anti-gaming agenda has gone too far" part got me.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

How do you know they're not being sarcastic too? Oh internet.

Missing sarcasm to pine for mod attention?

It is hard to tell what's legit and what's /s these days

 

[AcademicSaucer]

This is great
