The dude was describing a Blazblue character.

The problem was, he had no fucking clue what the hell he was talking about. Everything coming out of his mouth was inaccurate.

boy I love anime nerds getting fired up about stuff that really isn't that consequential.

so he's wrong.

will you still buy the game?

will you ignore his journalism in the future?

inconsequential.

Yeah, ok asshole.


The dude basically didn't even touch the game. He wasn't wrong, he was pretty much describing another game. Anime? Yeah ok, I guess people can't see that it's a fucking game. I just found it funny and posted it here, and yet I'm labeled as some anime nerd that got fired up about nothing at all.

lol the description at 20 seconds shows this guy has no idea what he's talking about

Gamespot? Seriously? Someone still uses GAMESPOT for reviews and shit?
Oh my God the sky is falling!!1!11
Seriously though, NEVER use Gamespot for reviews. Most of them are inaccurate and shitty. Read reader reviews instead, for people who still use Gamespot.

I've learnt by now to take ALL reviews with a grain of salt.
a review is someone's opinion.
I have my own opinions.
if a game looks good, I'll try it.
if I like it, I buy it.
if I don't, I return it.
a lot of people seem to think that game reviews are reason to play or not play a game.
how about making your own minds up?

Wow, have a big fucking trophy. Way to entirely miss point of the topic at hand.

I use the restroom in a gamepot...

Never read 'official' reviews.
Read several player reviews.

Gamespot is still probably the best site out there for videogame related stuff. Its reviews just suck, as do pretty much any sites.
A quick test is to see what the site gave GTA4. If it got a 9.5 or higher (or equivalent), then the site rates based on how much cash they were given, not by what the game is.

Reading player reviews is easily the best way to do things. You can start to see a middleground after some reviews to get a real idea of what a game is like, and weed out fanboy/hater reviews.
OH, and look up LOZ: Ocarina of Times player reviews on gamespot. You'll fucking LOL at it (it basically gets 10's, and a few 9.5's for about 6 years of reviews...or more, I forget).

Though I didn't actually watch the review at the top, it is fair to say BlazBlue is a piece of shit, and it really sucks it's supposed to be Guilty Gear's 'spiritual successor'. Way to ruin a good series by turning it into utter trash. Oh well. There are other, somewhat similar, games to play instead i s'pose.

look at me i'm hell's malice look at my infinite knowledge of shit i've never played before please rape my face

whoooh, you're criticizing a dude for not knows the backstory of a fictional fighting game character
