Controlled Chaos ##@$!!!1

[Perfect Stu]

Welcome to the first of many Dungeon-regulars, as I like to call them. Controlled Chaos is an area of ranting and expressing your concerns, outlooks, and any other forms of controversal opinions towards the world of gaming.
*these types of threads tend to lead to arguements due to difference in opinion. you can debate and express your opinion...watch the flaming, though. the ban stick will be at hand

I'll get things started.

Gamers flipping out over game reviews

Alright...I know people shouldn't generalize too much, but the hell with that. I've noticed over the past year or so that gamers insist on voicing their opinion on game reviews...most noticeably at the Cube IGN boards. Now, opinions are fine...they're good, actuallly. But some people walk up to the line of reason, take a crap on it, and proceed without checking their blind spots. I just happened to read Matt-IGN's thread at the cube boards about his official IGN review. Things started out pretty calm. "Nice review, thanks!" and "Great score ". I then noticed that it was posted about about 5am EST and things could get a little nasty once the sun rose in North America. And I was right. People started flaming Matt, TELLING him that his scores (his OPINIONS) were wrong. One poor fellow actually started calling him a pansy and went into insults about Matt's physical appearance and stupid surname I'll go into greater detail if you wish, I guess...Anyway, some of the posts include:

"Game over. It's official. Nintendo is doomed. I'm going to cry in my pillow for a couple of hours. A 9.6! Time to cancel my pre-order. Matt said the game ruled...translation 9.8 to 10.0. A 9.6!"

"Change it to 9.7. Now, bitch."

" mean it deserves a 9.8 atleast.......

Matt, if you are reading. You better give out reasons NOW and HERE why it became a 9.6

I want answers. And want them now....."

WTF? Do these people have severe chemical imbalances in their brains? Honestly, what the hell is wrong with these people? It's like he's insulting the very essence of each of their souls. First of all, the score is one man's opinion. Right? There's a decent chance that you may disagree with him. Secondly, the complaints seem to be about how the game should have been rated higher...when the review I looked at said 9.6. Last I checked, only a couple games a YEAR got that kinda score from sites like IGN. And then we get into the fact that people are whining and moaning about how the game deserves at least a 9.8 when they haven't even played it. That's right..."It's a Zelda game so it automatically deserves a higher score than any other of this generation of gaming. My head is up far too many asses and my underpants are 3 sizes too small"

ANYWAY...if you guys care to chime in, by all means be my guest. It's highly encouraged. If you have something on your mind (concerning gaming) that has little or nothing to do with this particular case, let's hear it. Just be somewhat careful as to what you say. This is Controlled Chaos, after all. At least that's what our intentions of it are
