I mean... not that anyone pays any attention to Gamespot reviews anymore, but there you have it
The only people who I don't see paying attention are those who were shocked by their honest reviews, but meh.... Not saying that's you of course, but used to participate in their forums. People would throw fits over .1 differences, or mention some 30 year old review (like...(YAWN) the infamous Tony Hawk 3 review) as a sign of Gamespots's imperfection.
Now they give s smaller scale (in terms of promotion) game a higher score than most strategy games they've reviewed, and people are still skeptical.
