must be locked cause teh thread isnt working. is that your only example of this epidemic?
 



just have a look at game forums prior to the games release. i wouldnt be making this thread for no reaon.


usually when someone says "this game is awesome" and nothing else, it is in reply to a video or article that is posted as the main topic of the thread. So that in fact becomes the reason, which sorta disproves the point you are making.

 

dude just have a look at this thread. Eir_s just posted something about gw2 being awesome without any reasoning on page 2. this thread isnt even about gw2.

Any fool can know. The point is to understand.

I think it's just a matter of being critical. 

I do not like this game BECAUSE - and then present some comparisons, even if it is just personal preference. The most important thing to remember is that you could be one of the mis-informed.

I'll use the secret world as an example.    I do not like the dungeon aspect of the game, I do not feel they are doing their class system justice by using tank/heals/dps in dungeons while boasting a classless system. 

I like this game because I think I will enjoy - again, present some points to discuss beyond 'Crafting is cool'. A valid reply could simply be - "I enjoy this crafting because - it gives me good items / it has an interesting material gathering system / it is a nice break from the breakneck speed of the game." Simply saying 'it is cool / lame' is a statement with zero substance. 

I'll use the secret world again because it's very convenient XD.     I love the fact that they are putting in puzzles which require actual research, thinking and puzzle solving. I've always felt that MMOs could tap into a very VERY rich world of tabletop / GM mechanics which could be worked into the genre. This idea is still new and probably needs a lot of work but I would like to see this kind of stuff in future MMOs, but damn it's exciting to see people shun the status quo.

Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?

Good word of mouth = better cash flow from vendors seeking to advertise.
 
Bad word of mouth = worse cash flow from vendors fleeing the hostile environment.
 
It's lame but it's business.


so essentially the news, reviews, previews by staff on this site are completely worthless


 
Worthless?  No.  News is news, you can't put a positive spin on bad news, unless you just don't report it.  A preview is what it is.  As far as reviews, they are pretty worthless at 95% of magazines and websites.  It's always been that way with games, as far as I can remember.  Gaming websites/magazines make their money through advertising, it's pretty easy to imagine why they aren't going to bad mouth a game/developer/publisher that is either giving them money to advertise or may give them money in the future.  Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
 
There are plenty of places to get objective reviews around the web.  Lots of gaming communities around that will give you the down low.  However in the end a review is nothing more than an opinion.  Your mileage may vary.


Eurogamer review about Darkfall single handedly almost destroyed Darkfall becouse it was reviewed by sandbox FFA hater who was to dumb even learn the simplest things ingame and just gave the game when he failed a 2/10 he played 25min. Many sites give reviews that can destroy small indie companys forever.

I quit Guildwars 2 for now im fed up with empty world:(... played:AC-Darktide,AC2-Darktide,L2 and Darkfall.Solo Fav games:Morrowind,DayZ(PLAYING NOW), Skyrim, Bioshock, Age of Empires 2, Soldiers of fortune 2 and many more...
Playing:Skyrim-dishonered and deusex revelations at moment.
Bought AoE 2 HD but not yet played.

aventurine probably didnt have enough money to pay the "dont give my game a shit score" fee. 

 

its fairly typical of the media to attack smaller people/companies that cannot defend themselves rather than the big boys. thankgod for media watchdogs, really need one for the mmo industry, all these sites are corrupt.

I'm really sick of the whole "There's a massive fanbase for X", or "Y would be a WoW-killer if it just had a chance".

There is no massive conspiracy waiting in the MMO playerbase.

There are no "sleeper-agent fans" waiting to convert once the X or Y is unleashed on the world.

So, someone telling he/she loves you is appropriate, but someone insulting you would be appropriate too ?

"people telling they love you" in the general meaning of love, not sexual. And no, in term of good manners, how you express an opinion about a product or a people is no different.

Duh, isnt that obvious ?

"This game sucks" is an insult, if you give no reasons.

"This game is awesome" isnt, even if you give no reasons.

Nope. This rule exists in all forums, not just the ones that want to make money.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the replies.

Yet it is customary, when making a negative critisism about something to point out the faults that brought to this negative critisism so it can then be addressed or improved.

Let me make an example, you see a player fighting in a a battleground, or arena or even a raid, or not even an MMO, you see a baseball player or football player that by their actions gets a great score, killing alone 5 other player or hiting homeruns or being nimble and avoiding to be stoped by others.

 

Saying "This player is awesome" implies that you are giving positive critique to what they actually just did and the way they did it. There is really not much else that is required to be said. Saying why is optional.

If you say "this player sucks", it is customery to say why, for instance, He did not use X skill when Y situation happened so he lost, or he went left when it was obvious he should have gone right, or he missed to hit the ball because he hdid not hold the baseball bat properly. So there is always something required to be said to justify the reasons which made you feel they "sucked"... this way they can learn from it correct it and not "suck" next time, or in the case of a game after a series of patches.

The base principle here is that, no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, even Devs creating Games, but everyone should have the opportunity to correct their mistakes. A saying goes: It is ok to make mistakes as long as we learn from them, but often we learn from them by others pointing out the reasons.

Saying "this game sucks" is similar as saying "you made a mistake", but when you do not say what the mistake was, then how can we expect the person to correct it?

Think about it, if your teacher at school handed you your homework with just the grade and without telling you where your mistakes were, how are you going to learn and improve? So the teacher says, "your homework sucks" but they also tell you why. Same applies here too.

"This game sucks, because ... "

This didn't really happen that much prior to some of the cash shop leaks.  Before that it was almost universal knowledge on these forums that if you played GW2 long enough you would p*ss beer and sh*it rainbows.  Alot of it has to do with how some (not all or even most) of the more hardcore GW2 fans go to other games forums, especially SWTOR prior to release and TERA now and crap all over those games.  It brings those games fanbois on over to crap on GW2 as "revenge."  Though why someone would need revenge in a game forum, I have no idea.  But anyone that couldn't see this coming...I don't really know what to say to them.

it is considered trolling/bad to post a comment like "this game sucks" without providing any reasons why you feel this way. I think this is a reasonable rule as this is a discussion forum and simple posting opinion without reason doesnt really allow for discussion.

why doesnt this rule apply to people who post "this game is awesome", "best gaem eva!111", "this game is great" without posting reasons as to why?

Because its never just one post, you guys who hate games like GW2, keep making thread after thread trying to convince people of your opinions.

I find it hard to believe you dont understand this....lol

this thread isnt about gw2.

defending "your" game when it is not even being attacked ---- must be some new species of fanboy...
