If it does make it over here, I think this one is gonna end up on my must have list.

They've already lost this battle... maybe even lost this war. Their best bet would be to cater the site to the up and coming gamers. That or just lay low for a few years until Gerstmann-gate blows over.

Again, I'm not making any claims one way or the other. GameSpot could be right. The Gerstmann-gate conspiracy theorists could be right. I don't know what or who to believe at the moment. One thing that we all know for sure is that someone in upper management either has terrible decision making skills or a terrible sense of timing.

Whatever the case may be, I've removed all GameSpot feeds from my RSS Aggregator and canceled my GameSpot paid membership. It really doesn't matter how many tactics they try right now, I'm honestly thinking they just aren't going to be able to reach a victory or even a good compromise with their readers on this issue.

Can we say, "Vaporware?"

GameSpot could learn a lesson or two from this guy.

Yes, you knew someone was gonna go there.

Publishers are out to make money. Retail stores are out to make money. Both will take all the shovelware you can give 'em as long as they sell. It's up the consumer to do the research before buying a game, IMO.

Man, I hate to say it, but by your description of Mass Effect, it's quite obvious that you're not familiar with Bioware's previous work.

To be honest with ya, EA's been about the only one that's been able to hit release dates with any kind of accuracy as of late. So, I'm gonna vote that ANYTHING and EVERYTHING not published by EA will be delayed (possibly madly).

Think of all the amazing mods and user created content for the many blockbuster PC games out there. How is my suggestion going to cause a problem and not fix the problem?

SG

IMO, developers need to focus less on holding the players' hands and more on user created content. That should honestly take A LOT of money and time out of development.

I don't quite understand the gameplay, but I don't see any problem with the game. The crowd looks bad, but the Chipmunks models look pretty dang good. The only thing that I could see that would throw me off is that they aren't hitting the guitar/bass/drums on the right notes for the song that's playing. But, those don't seem like big deals. I guess I'm just missing something.
