GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Oct 23, 2007

Does anyone still read this? Hello? Yeah, you two in the back. Listen up.

I'm done paying Gamespot to piss me off. It's been what, 3 years now where the only advantage to paying for this site was HD movies. And they're only 720p. I want 1080p movies. And although I won't be able to get those for free, a little site called "Gametrailers" offers everything Gamespot does - and then some.

And the reviews - don't get me started on the reviews. I'm going to be called a cow for this, but even the most blind and ignorant Microsoft/Nintendo fanboy can see the glaring bias around this site. Resistance, Motorstorm, Warhawk, Ratched and Clank, and any of the multiplatform games. It's not even funny anymore. Just so everyone doesn't feel bad, Gamespot is biased towards Microsoft, not you guys, sheep. I feel your pain as well.

Am I going to stick around? Sure, I'll enjoy sapping up this site's bandwidth with an adblocker on. And until the forums become pay-only, I'll keep posting there, too. Although the staff here is bumbling, the community is a bright shiny needle in the haystack.

So? Farwell, Gamespot Total Access. It's been a good run.

...

What the hell am I talking about? It's been a horrible run. That's why I'm cancelling. My subscription has until February.

Eh, I don't really care about the scores. I'll still play R&C, and most likely I'll still have a blast doing so, but for all I know the review is completely accurate. Still, I don't blame you for cancelling. I've been thinking about doing the same, since fixing all the bugs and glitches on this site don't seem to be a priority. I also get tired of paying for "exclusive E3 coverage" and then not being able to use the site at all for three days because they can't keep the thing working. I'm just not seeing where my subscription money is going... it sure isn't being used to make the site better.

They hate PSP too, which is what I hate....

@Shifty_Pete: Exactly. I'm not canceling because of the score alone (although Gamespot has a chronic problem with scores not matching reviews). I just don't feel I'm getting my money's worth on this site anymore. I'll still read their reviews, use their forums, and get most of my downloads from here. HD videos are the only thing I'll be missing out on.
