What is Digg?135 Comments
- DBiz, on 10/10/2007, -12/+98Not surprised at all.
A Dtoid reviewer also gave Twilight Princess a 4/10. Seriously? I don't care how much you dislike Nintendo/Wii/Zelda, to call it below average is incredible. I understand being a fanboy, but it cannot get in the way of good, unbiased journalism, and it clearly has here.
Digg me down, but I haven't been to Destructoid since, and don't plan on going back. It has nothing to do with the Twilight Princess score, but the blatant fanboyism that is normally heard on playgrounds and junior high cafeterias. - nublet, on 10/10/2007, -18/+79destructoid: worst. site. evar.
- FoxOrian, on 10/10/2007, -11/+67Destructoid... The Fox News of gaming.
- lukewind, on 10/10/2007, -5/+50I have seen plenty of this game and where he gets sub par facial animations I will never know. Although if you read any other posts from this guy you will see that he has very little in good opinions. He is a huge fanboy and as such should be ignored.
- canewediggit, on 10/10/2007, -6/+38not surprising, they made up fake diggs too. 5000 diggs - http://digg.com/gaming_news/Dear_Digg_Please_Do_Something_About_Destructoid_s_Cheaters_PIC
- zizzy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30Here is the Developer Walkthrough from PAX 2007, I assume it's the one he saw:
Part 1 - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24110.html
Part 2 - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24111.html
Part 3 - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24112.html
Now you can decide for yourself what you think of it. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30I've had stories removed from Digg in the past because of that word. Better safe than sorry.
- ShugNinx21, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18An opinion can be biased, but a Review is supposed to be a non-biased evaluation on the quality of the work being reviewed.
- gincarnated, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16I think i'll ignore both of them and make those observations for myself.
- zwilliams, on 10/10/2007, -5/+19Wait, what does G4 have to do with gaming? Last time I checked they were playing episodes of Cops and Golden Girls. And X-Play? Isn't that show about like about five people who keep performing lame skits of jokes from a month before? Yeah sure they once and a while take a break and mention a game and then say "Three out of Five."
I'm not standing up from Destructoid but G4, and its pathetic attempts at being relevant, should be the last thing to talk about others on their handling of operations. - duniyadnd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13You're not missing much...
- dtrinh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12"...but to come right out and say someone is wrong about an opinion is just bullheaded."
It is my *opinion* that Destructoid is pompously bullheaded. Feel free to come right out and say I'm wrong. :) - Surreal, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13One other thing about Destructoid's review, they said "The gameplay looks like your standard FPS fare", but Mass Effect isn't even an FPS, nor when you are in combat, is it an FPS! I don't get it. I'm glad Matt Keil said something!
- Scaryclouds, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I agree... G4 is as much about games as MTV is about music.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13I can't believe i am siding with G4 but DToid has taken a turn for the worse in recent months a from manipulating Digg to Fanboyism ,a year ago weren't they the coolest website?
- doodirock2, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11I wonder why your defending him...... hmmmm Oh I know...
http://digg.com/users/namelessted/news/dugg - tjdoom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Oh boy, a blog about a forum post about a preview! Couldn't get any more direct than that.
- johnhummel, on 10/10/2007, -8/+16These are the same guys that went on about how horrible the Resident Evil 4 controls for the Wii were - when it seems like everybody and their brother agrees that RE4 on the Wii was the best version (being able to just point and shoot? Pure awesome.)
I'm not fanboy, but I haven't read Destructoid back then - just not worth my time to listen to people's opinions who can't tell the difference between ***** and gold. - CornStarch, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9When they reported 1up was being sold to dell then used some phony web page as proof I lost all respect for them.
- Rapter09, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Au contraire, X-PlayAdam Sessler is the only thing of worth on that network.
Adam Sessler is the man. - godofpumpkins, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9what's up with TFA criticizing Matt Keil for calling ***** on the Destructoid article? Matt Keil is not chewing him out for having a divergent opinion; he's chewing him out for basing his opinion on something other than the actual game.
- lukewind, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Wow, I guess there is someone as clueless as Orcist!
- kidcodea, on 10/10/2007, -6/+13Destructoid was the place that welcomed Robert Suma, the wannabe in the spotlight ***** that made ***** up for the wii and was booted from joystick.
How is this suprising? its not. - doodirock2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8maybe i would listen to you if you didnt just digg Dtoids *****
http://digg.com/users/jonaphin/news/dugg - 3ntropy, on 10/10/2007, -12/+18The irony in all of this is that Destructoid would not exist if not for Digg and Jack Thompson.

Forum post where he posted it. - TheGuruStud, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6you hate charter too? No way lol. Everyone and their dog (haha) hates charter. In case anyone ever wants service from them, Steer Clear of these *****. Fuzzy channels (that will never get fixed), intermittent service, long outages, bad service, etc, etc. Get directv and dsl if you can. It will save you a lot of headaches.
- oriondr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Those bitches at Charter took away my G4.. and they didn't even put up a new channel, they just took it and stuck it under 'digital cable' and left the channel blank.
- wageslaven, on 10/10/2007, -6/+11Except that they havent played the game yet.
- staticneuron, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Thanks! From this video http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24111.html I can see what they are talking about in terms of facial animation. If enough characters have as poor animation as the captain there, I can see how it can be destracting. I have no compaints on the voice acting there.
- wilf_brim, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Consider the source, on both sides. I've not been a believer in anything out of G4 for quite some time, and Destructiod can be a little bit sensationalistic. Anybody have a link to the actual G4 post, rather than the blogspam?
- MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5If you don't agree with their "opinions", then why go back to their site? He's absolutely right, if he totally disagrees with what they say then why go there? Don't be a dick.
- boing11, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Destructoid is nothing more than a bunch of amateur fanboys who post regurgitated *****, and pretend to be professional journalists. Their content is no different than if me and 10 friends decided to start our own blog and spout off opinions about Jack Thompson, and then spam our own articles on digg.
I'm still baffled why people visit sites like dtoid, where it is nothing more than a news aggregator, with some ***** opinions from some random ***** I couldn't care less about. - ShadySpace, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Dude, do you have an idea how pathetic you sound? "This guy from this sub-par gaming blog really changed my life, man!" Christ, get some ***** perspective. And I'm calling ***** on the "context" of the pre-PS3 launch. It was $600, doesn't take a ***** prophet like your buddy Niero to realize the thing's not going to sell.
- gamerzworld, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6You should be THANKING them!
- Lennandale, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10Come on now, we all know Destructoid is a piece of ***** website anyway. For a bunch of fanboys to pull another idiotic maneuver is nothing new. The site sucks because it's full of stupid fanboyism about games and half the ***** they say is just completely stupid.
- frygar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Oh ***** him. I still have yet to see anything remotely impressive about that title. Fanboy shills are the new "independent gaming journalists."
- loof, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7What was wrong with the Wii controls? I preferred them to the standard gamecube control myself.
- gODfall, on 10/10/2007, -15/+19I stopped listening to what G4 had to say
a long time ago. - gwolf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Can you really blame them for not wanting to show a Fan boys posing as journalist their unfinished work. I am surprised they talk to him at all.
- jj984jj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4People are starting to make news out of NeoGAF topics now?
- doodirock2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4wow, I couldnt agree with you more....
- CReyes4182, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3You may be getting dugg down but you have a point. Back when I use to watch AOTs on attack of the show I wasn't on digg. I would tune in just for gaming news and whatnot. But after I started coming here I noticed that I read all the stories that they mentioned on the show like the day before. And I mean EVERYTHING absolutely nothing new! Its like they comb through the top stories on digg and just report it as news.
- ZeonZumDeikun, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Commenting on a Digg article on a blog about a forum post about a preview.
*****, I think I divided by zero in the process. - ericrous, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I think you're actually being too hard on Fox News.
- WeeklyGeek, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4That's one staff member on destructoid's opinion about a game he saw a couple moments of at a noisy, crowded convention. I wouldn't say that it was Destructoid as a whole trying to stir up ***** or link bait... it's just the one guy.
- Hoinah, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wow, someone clearly doesn't understand contextualization.
- enforcerpsu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2No kidding. The Wii controls killed the standard cube controls. Point and shoot aiming? If you didn't like the controls...maybe its because you didn't want to like the controls. Standard controller fanboy?
- ShogunWarPig, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Can you tell me what im going to eat 3 weeks from now too?
- chobit, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Thanks for the video. About the facial animations and voice acting, it seems to me from the video that both are pretty average. It's nothing to complain about, but nothing to write home about either. In any case both are allowed their opinions, and I see no reason for such a heated response from Matt Keil over one blogger's opinion.
