madmaltese★ 2,549 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Giantbomb's review still to go up (they haven't been too hot on it) and then the notoriously tough review of Edge. This could still end up at 84 Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,549 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Have they completely stopped doing reviews? I know they hardly do any but they usually do the major first party titles. They did spiderman, GoW, crackdown 3. Surely this is bigger than crackdown 3 lol Link to post Share on other sites

They were talking about not getting a review copy of Borderlands 3 on their podcast. I meant like they do fuck all for reviews rather than they officially stopped or anything. Easy to bet against a review when they've done two in the last ten months. Link to post Share on other sites

You already implying that you haven't seen the vast majority of quicklooks, but you figure you had enough knowledge to come to the conclusion that they've NEVER reviewed a game that they've done a quicklook for? They review major games like the biggest shooters (that fall within Gerstmann's predictable taste), the biggest first-party exclusives. You don't think Giantbomb has done quick looks of those games?

I'm not seeing a lot of examples, did they review Gears 5? Nope, they did a quick look for it, did they review Control? Nope they did a quick look for it. I've seen this in like 20+ other instances checking their site to see where a game review was just to find a quick look in its place and a review never taking place. That seems to be exactly what they do, they still want to cover something but don't bother to put a review together so they do a quick look. Edited September 12, 2019 by DynamiteCop!

They reviewed Anthem. here's the quicklook They reviewed Crackdown 3 Here's the quick look They reviewed Hitman 2 Here's the quick look Tetris Effect RDR2 You literally have absolutely NO BASIS to reach the conclusion you just reached.

The reality is that you made up completely bullshit logic. EVERY REVIEW from the past year has had a quick look. You have no absolutely no pattern here to base your conclusion................you just made it up, wholesale. You're hoping there's no review, because you know damn well Gerstmann is going to give 3/5, he's basically said as much in this weeks podcast. Link to post Share on other sites
