Checking back on this (HEADS UP, I'm unprofessional).
[quote name="Creexuls, a monster >:3"]Every once in a while I go to gamespot to see if new shit came out or whatever, or what's the release date for this or this game, or what DS games should I get. It signs me out automatically once every few weeks, I dunno, so I usually don't bother to sign back in. So I end up not noticing that I get messages. This thread will now contain the entire inbox of my gamespot messages. [quote]From: RPGOmen Sent: May 26, 2008 8:19 am ET Subject: Abuse reported; backed by twenty (20) thumbs down. The violation of creating a review on the game "Xenogears" with the intention of inciting anger is being reviewed by Gamespot. - Not only is giving a "1" on any game unprofessional but it also shows a true lack of ability or care on part of the reviewer; please consider using a respectable thought process backed by facts and information. - Simply playing a demo of the game does not give one the insight to offer an informative and respectable review; this was a major selling point in the reported abuse. - The fact that over 110 reviewers since the last wipe of the game's review, in addition to the gamespot review, all rate the game above a 9.0 might strike a light on one's head that there's more to a game than what's present in a demo. This was also a major selling point in the reported abuse. Minor Cited proof backing up the minds of said reviews: "Xenogears' reliance on story, subtlety, and mood make it Square's most anime-like RPG thus far, in many ways making the game one of its best." - Gamespot, Editor's Choice Award. You mentioned something about "Justice" in the review; it's being done right now with the petitioned deletion of the review due to its incoherency and obvious attempt to just get people angry with an ill thought out review (which was succeeded since it's such a popular game which had thousands of pages of text logged, multiple complex storylines, love, betrayal, vengeace, and memorable characters). Please play a game in full before reviewing it in addition to never rating a game a "1" if you wish to be viewed as a respectable and reliable reviewer in the future; your "review" was more of a forum rant than anything thus it should stay as a troll topic on the forums.[/quote] I think this guy is trying to pretend to be an official Gamespot moderator or something. This on the other hand really is. [quote]From: GameSpot Sent: May 26, 2008 1:52 pm ET Subject: Terms of Use Violation - Warning! You have been moderated with a Warning for a Terms of Use violation.
