OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Gamespot is my favorite place to look at video game reviews and the baseball reviews are in.....MLB the Show 9.0 rating, and MLB 2k9 got a god awful 4.5. They also have reviews from many other game review sites and 2k9 is a pretty shitty game overall and MLB the Show is tits on ice.

The amount of crap that is wrong with 2k9 no patch is ever going to fix.

There is no way that 2K9 is deserving of a 4.5.  That's them reviewing the game before the release day patch, surely.  And, even if they did the review with the release day patch, they got it massively wrong.  They even got The Show wrong because that's a sure 11 out of 10.

That 4.5 was probably just in comparison to The Show.  I keep reading more about The Show and it's making it incredibly difficult not to go out and buy a PS3.  If I knew more people with the system and The Show, I probably wouldn't even hesitate.  2K9 is growing on me a bit, but it's still a piece of shit compared to even what I remember playing in The Show '08.  Why can't we just have MVP back?!

What should keep you from buying the PS3 is that you can't afford to pay for lunch.  And to go spend all that dough on a system for one game that is only 4.5 points better than the one you're currently masturbating to is dumb.  And I'm sure you can befriend plenty of random 13 year olds if you were to get it and then you could play online all day long.

I have no idea how college students can afford these things. If I spent 20 bucks a week I was able to get 3 or 4 pitchers and a couple jagerbombs out of it and that was an expensive week.
The times they are a changin.

I bet you even got laid every once in awhile. XBOX live won't sleep with you until 2020 I'm guessing.

Let's not get carried away with the platitudes here.

For those of us who care about the game, I also noticed that 2K got just about every base coach's name and jersey number correct, finally.

Gamespot is absolutely terrible.  Anyone who rated 2K9 lower than 2K8 has no idea how to review a sports video game.  In fact, they don't know how to review games at all.  GTA IV is a perfect 10?  Seriously?

To be fair, it received near 10s from everywhere.  And, every gaming site like that has a high hard one for Rockstar.  Rightfully so, as GTAIV is pretty much the balls.

GTA IV is a very good game, but it wasn't even the best game released last year.  It's certainly not worthy of a perfect score.  Hell, it's arguably not even worthy of a score over 9.0.

I agree. I might give it an 8-9, but NO WAY would I give it over a 9.

I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.
