EGM Reviews TMNT for GBA - Page 2

**Karpo_007** · 09-23-2003, 12:50 AM

Then it is off topic, but I DO NOT recall anytime I would have called you ANYTHING. You are way off track, and if so many people are too, I'll say it here: I have never had any grudge against You, and probably never will.

**GK Punk** · 09-23-2003, 12:54 AM

Well people do remember things youve said to me, but I am willing to "let it slide" (so to speak) Under a table or something, and ignore it.

*hugs* I LOVE YA BIG GUY!

**Karpo_007** · 09-23-2003, 01:01 AM

Well If I have said something, even if I don't recall it, I'm sorry.

*shakes hands*

**GK Punk** · 09-23-2003, 01:07 AM

See, me and you should be a perfect example for some people around here, we had a misunderstanding, and handled it like grown ups.

*shakes the hand*

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 09-23-2003, 01:10 AM

Good Show! **claps**

I knew you could solve this peacefully!

**Karpo_007** · 09-23-2003, 01:19 AM

Thats the only right way to do it.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-23-2003, 02:34 AM

I'm not gonna comment... NOT gonna comment... there's been far too much said about insulting other people's likes and dislikes around here already... and that was just a cheap shot... frankly, I expect more from someone I respect as much as Karpo, but at least both of you settled down before I had to get my learnin' stick and smack the both of you with it.

Getting back on topic, I can't say one way or another about IGN's quality... I check it, take it in, and then dismiss it, since I make it a point to never, EVER put too much stock in ANY reviewer's words. Especially not on the internet, since everyone on the internet suddenly comes down with an extreme case of know-it-all-ism whenever they're asked for their opinion. But I do read EGM too, and find myself agreeing and disagreeing just as much as with any other reviewers. My opinion? Who gives the review doesn't matter, but if you put too much stock in what some person sitting at a keyboard telling people what to think says, and you let it hinder your enjoyment of a product, well, that's your prerogative. It makes you a sheep, but it's your prerogative.

**Karpo_007** · 09-23-2003, 10:08 AM

Review of a product is just one persons opinion about it, it isn't ment to offend anyone, just to give some information about the product, an how it in the reviewer's mind compares to other products currently on market. You should not make a decision to buy something by just one review, diffrent people's view can vary greatly. But like I said, there's no reason to get offended no matter how much your opinion differs from the reviewer's.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-23-2003, 03:14 PM

I just thought it wasn't necessary for you to respond to GK's opinion about IGN as if he'd attacked your children or something, and for you to resort to attacking something he likes in defense. That aint like you, br'a.

But I'm willing to believe you just didn't get your milk n cookies yesterday and that you were a bit cranky and didn't mean anything personal by it. Since you're usually such a swell fella and all.

**Karpo_007** · 09-23-2003, 03:20 PM

Yeah, I went a little too far. I know.

IGN to me is a kind of off and on type of site. Sometimes they just get way out of hand, there is NO way in you know where that Raw or DOXBV deserve anything higher than a 5. But sometimes they can hit smack on. I just think at times they're way too biased. Mostly on the X-Box side of things. I am a firm believer of just buying what I think looks good. IGN gave Metroid Prime up in the high 9's but I thought the game was (besides the graphics) utter crap. No offense to K47 since I know he loves Metroid.

My guess is the EGM review is pretty much honest. There really won't be anything special about the game. It WILL be a rinse and repeat game. I'm guessing the same about the console version. I'm sure it won't be getting anything over a 7.5 from anywhere. Basically because in the day and age of "innovative gaming" simple games just don't cut it to those so called "guru's" of the gaming community. Games that don't create anything new just don't impress them anymore. Unless it's GTA: Vice City, which somehow with the exact same gameplay that's over 2 (I think) years old, is still called innovative. I just don't understand the way these guys think sometimes.

**Karpo_007** · 09-24-2003, 12:11 PM

IGN being biassed was a really funny comment. Every section of the site has diffrent editor, and diffrent reviewers[there have been some exceptions tough]. Of course when there are comparions of diffrent versions of the game, X-box usually wins since it does provide the best graphics and game performance.

I belive the new TMNT game will score something between 7 or 8, but of course TMNT fans can add that +1 to the final score.

I agree that the people in WWF are morons too! taking away the name and loving the pandas!

Yeah, down with the World Wide Fund for nature! (Or World Wildlife Fund, depending on where you live)

But now we've gotten wayyy to off topic

I'm on you're side on this kitty. Anyone who picks on grunger_kitty has to go through me first

*ahem*

Now back on topic. I really don't trust anything that EGM says anymore (not since they trashed F-Zero GX). They can't even enjoy a fun beat em up game like TMNT? They aren't softicated, they're stuck up.

I'll wait for IGN's review. They usually seem to be a little more fair on their reviews, but that's just my opinion.

Peanut · 09-24-2003, 11:10 PM

Karpo I didn't word it right. I didn't mean bias against other systems. What I meant to say was that they over hype/over score most X-Box games. Brute Force was supposed to be the next Halo. They praised the crap out of it. Then it comes out and they say it's an ok game? I don't get it. I do think IGN is the best of the videogame sites though.

**Karpo_007** · 09-24-2003, 11:15 PM

Oh thats what you ment... Well that might be, since I don't own Xbox I hardly read Xbox reviews.

Peanut · 09-24-2003, 11:43 PM

Yeah. They review X-Box games really badly at times. I find that actually holds true to most X-Box reviewers. At least ones that review X-Box alone anyways. The X-Box magazine is the biggest piece of garbage to come out in a long time. The bias is just terrible. At least the other officals mags tell the truth most of the time, but when you say X-Box is beating out the other two consoles in sales...well...your views and opinions just kinda go down the toilet. The only reason to buy it is for the demo discs. BTW is there any known reason why Nintendo Power doesn't offer demo discs with their mag? It's the only reason I don't buy Nintendo power anymore.

**Karpo_007** · 09-25-2003, 01:09 AM

Have there been any demo discs for Gamecube? I haven't heard of any.
