I did review it based on the full potential. Both games got the same score, my comments on the podcast were from my own experience, and personally I didn't have the money to pay $54.99 for the feature, but I never degraded the game in my review for it.

Fair enough, my friend. Btw, I never read the review, it just sounded like the review was unfair, so thanks for clearing that up for me

Jusst discusing...

Just remember that the majority of 360 ownners don't have a HDD, the majority of gamers don't own HDTV's, the majority of gamers... etc, etc.

The idea of a review is that you judge things at their full potential, if the PS3 version has rumble, it doesn't matter how many people bought a DualShock, the potential's there, and it should be marked up for it. I remember that was the case for the whole Gmaetrailer's Full HDMI shenanigans in video comparisons.

To be perfectly honest, I don't care, I just want to... discuss.

I'm tired. I'll listen to your show later, it won't load properly for me anyways...

That's true for an official review, obviously. The discussion in question is about when Zero was discussing his experience with the game during the fondling section of the podcast. His full review doesn't mention the rumble issue at all, but does make mention of the PS3's use of the Sixaxis

Edit: Sorry, started writing before Zero posted his response.

It's all good, I wanted to clarify that I never bring down a game for lack of potential regardless. I did the same with Burnout Paradise when I reviewed it. I didn't mark down the 360 version because people without a HD couldn't play online. It isn't the game's fault that people don't have the hardware. My comments were solely based on personal experience, which is what a certain person seems to have issues with.

And I can respect that. A review is but a personal opinion, anyway

I don't have issue if you're trying to talk about the potential goodness, but if you're saying something along the lines that this version stands out because of X, then that would imply that X isn't in the other version. Since it actually is it in the game the comment sounds slanted.

Look I love the podcast and I enjoy listening and debating, just like you all as journalist review and critique games and developers and consoles manufactures, I critique the media unfortunately for you Zero in terms of the N4G podcast you're the one I end up picking on I guess but I think it's your play games not consoles stance but constant remdinder of why you love live and acheivements that makes it hard to believe you.

It's all good, I saw you playing UT3 the other day but I've been playing warhawk and DS so I didn't jump in just yet. We should chat up on the PSN sometime.

You normally can't tell someone's tone from forum posts, so you would probably be surprised.

It is slanted...FOR ME...it was my personal experience seriously why is that so hard to understand? I did not buy a Dual Shock 3 yet so it stood out FOR ME. Secondly my professed love for Live and Achievements does not make me any less of a gamer nor does it automatically discredit my motto. If a game comes out for PS3 I play the crap out of it, if it comes out for Wii I play it to death, however if its on multiple I buy 360. Sue me for having a preference. You are not critiquing me, you are nitpicking my comments, considering everyone on the show rags on different things the fact that you single me out makes me believe you have some sort of obsession with my comments. You might also consider that one of the reasons I wouldn't want to chat or play a game online with you is because I like to enjoy myself when I play so why would I want to spoil that by having to hear constant banter when I am playing?

He's right kenjix, a review is simply the personal opinion of the experience of the reviewer(s). He's telling you how the game was for him, not how it'll be for everyone else. That's why you shouldn't take reviews seriously.

If he conveyed his points in a way you feel was incorrect, then at least you know what he meant.

It isn't his fault you can't read man. The contest was posted on ZTGD, The Forums, and even on N4G. Maybe if you would come up for air sometimes you would have seen it. Then again you are too busy writing shit lists that I am not on top of to concern yourself with us lowlife podcast hosts. My feelings are in pain now and I cannot believe you would be so shameful to us. I thought we had something special!!

I assumed you had suffered a horrible death at the bottom of a ravine somewhere, your slowly decaying carcass being eaten by wild dogs....but now that I know you're ok...

Hey Odion...what's up man....hey we're having a Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed contest that's going to run from March 31st to April 6th. Check it out, I'm sure you'll see all the info...it's plastered all over the place and we're going to have an announcement about it on the podcast. Be sure to check it out!

I think the problem is you take the podcast as journalism when in fact it's just opinion, Zero's reviews at ZTGameDomain.com is him being a journalist. You just need to separate the two and you will be all set.

That is a great way to sum that up, thank you

I dont know why, but as soon as you guys did your merger I cant download any podcasts posted on this site. Even if I go directly to the archived eps and try to DL from there it just gives me a mp3 titled redirect which contains nothing. If i try to stream the ep it takes me to the podtracker and does nothing but buffer but never plays. That sucks cause I love your guys podcast. Any tips or clues as to what i need to do so I can get my fix.

no dice on any way of saving (even right clicking). I have no idea
