David Jaffe Flips Out After Bad Review

David Jaffe doesn't like bad reviews. In fact, one unnamed site's review of his PSN title Calling All Cars got under his skin so much that he said they should "go f**K themselves." But has Jaffe crossed the line? Should a publisher/developer publicly bash a site (even if unnamed) over a review?

Can you imagine Kojima or Miyamoto coming out like this over an article about their games? Spielberg publicly cursing Roger Ebert? Man, if I publicly flipped out like that every time someone criticized IGN...

God, I would love that. Hilarious shit.

But yeah, Jaffe comes off as very immature. Sometimes that's cool as he'll be candid about stuff, admit mistakes, etc. everything the corporate world teaches against. But sometimes -- like here -- he just seems like a little brat.

Jaffe fucking sucks. Even an overrated schmuck like Kojima shouldnt be put in the same sentence with Jaffe.

I do. It's one game. Jaffe has an ego like he made Castlevania or Street Fighter. He's a joke.

I think a crazy man like him is hilariously refreshing.

Actually, Jaffe didn't do anything wrong. He didn't lash out at a review. And the place he didn't do it was his blog, where personal observations and thoughts are supposed to go.

He bitched at Joystiq for some cracks they made on Calling All Cars in a non-review article. He said a few things about how he'd have liked to see Gamespot score it better based on things they said in the review. He didn't put out press releases saying all reviewers are assholes.

Even though this website is devoted to games, and talking about them, this is not news in any way. Move along - nothing has changed.
