spanish ftw

 

I live in Spain, have been playing computer games since the top computers have 8 bits/16k memory and its the first time i hear from them

You think we're supposed to believe some guy that actually lives in Spain over a guy that doesn't even spanish?

please reference the below thread for an actual translation of the review mentioned in the op... because it's better to keep a troll/flamebait thread open than a thread that bothers to translate instead of just #$^&$#%^:

Darth in order to make a big impact, it s going to need to be around, which as I saw in game and reading more about it on various forums, it won t be. The bottomline is, no way in hell even using that rating system does DFO or any other game for that matter deserve a 9.5

 

I personally rate DF as an 8.

But they gave WAR a 7.4 so they were forced to give DF that high rating to make the difference sound.

The fact this actually seems serious is just hilarious if you can say that with a straight face then you must be on crack.

I believe Darth to be serious, and believes this with the utmost conviction.

Either that, or we have all been taken on the greatest stealth/troll poster of all time.

Yes, everyone who likes this game must just be a fanboy. Everyone who doesnt hate what you hate must just be an idiot. If only we could all be like you!
 

 
I love how you just ignored his valid point and called him a hater. <Mod edit>

Hi 2 All

I m scavenger from MMORPG Hispano, the writer of that review. A friend just told me about this post and came here to check it out:

Just some info about our site:

- The site is not ment to make money, as the spanish market is very small on MMOs, and the companies wont invest in a site like our exclusively about MMOs and MMORPGs. We get absolutie no money from any companie, just standar adds programas from google or afiliates programas, which almots cant pay the hosting.

- THe games rating list you guys have criticed here is created byt the users of the site, we dont create those ratings, even if a game is not in beta yet. It is just a lisst of voting like other sites voting from users.

- We only review the games that are actualy diferent in one way or another. We are not going to be reviewing eq/wow clones, asian farmeing games or similar, there are many sites that do that and imho there are no many dferiencies between WoW/WAR/EQ2/ROM etc, they are the same dog with diferent collar. DFO or POTBS or TR are diferent somehow and that why we reviewed.

- We publish 3 or 4 news at day, the things we think are realy important in the MMO market.

- By nomeans we received anything from Aventurine, in fact, we have been trying to contact them for months and have had no reply so far.

- I did the review, i Play the game and I play in one of the big alliances, in the same way I played SWG being jedi, WoW rank12 pvp and killed nefarian, GW, L2 got to lvl 6', and many orther games , coz i like this games and i like to test it all.

- The rating given to DFO is based in 4 months play, if i have had to reviewd in februeary i'd have giving it a 3 or 4, but man, you have to play it all and see it all to understand its nature.

Next time b4 criticicing something you dont understand , like our site in spanish, dont talk because you dont know the laught we had today reading your comments based in ignorance about mmorpg hispano.

BTW, we are planning and upgrade in our site for the next month and we are inviting spanish ppl to help us wit the content, reviews, news etc, so any1 interested is wellcome.

If you think i m a troll or something, you can always contact me on scavenger@mmorpghispano.net

With love, scavenger.

edit: the problem with the [beta] in the game name is a problem in the DB. We use a CMS for the site, but we also do the php for the tempalte, database and more things, but we'll have those problems solve in next version.

Whether you like it or not, the only credible magazine/site that has reviewed DF is Eurogamer. So, until Gamespot publishes its review and gives DF a 9.5, i'll stick to the 2.

 9.5 on a scale of 100.

 We laugh cause your sites a joke.   ROFLCOPTER

I wanna pick your whole post apart but ill just choose one.   The fact that youll only review games you like is kinda I dont know Biased.

- We only review the games that are actualy diferent in one way or another. We are not going to be reviewing eq/wow clones, asian farmeing games or similar, there are many sites that do that and imho there are no many dferiencies between WoW/WAR/EQ2/ROM etc, they are the same dog with diferent collar. DFO or POTBS or TR are diferent somehow and that why we reviewed.

but

- I did the review, i Play the game and I play in one of the big alliances, in the same way I played SWG being jedi, WoW rank12 pvp and killed nefarian, GW, L2 got to lvl 6', and many orther games , coz i like this games and i like to test it all.

ok... so he won't review a game like wow, but he'll get to some sort of high level in wow...

but they review games like TR (tabula rasa? didn't they close that game?); potbs (pirates of the burning seas... which sorta reminds me of df's devs...), and darkfall.  i definitely see a trend in the games they play - crap.

but, wow and war are just alike?  seriously?   as in ... seriously - wtf over.

i find any reviews over 50% to be laughable.  rating darkfall even 50% makes me wonder if the rater/reviewer has played the game.  normally, those reviews ARE full of obvious lies about the state of the game... or they go on and on and on about how pretty the world is... too bad the game isn't "screen shots online"....

History will prove if this high-profile review will be right. I think I know where the smart money is, however. We all know both sides of the story, fans and haters (to use the current terminology, as I disagree with such categorization).

Kind of made me laugh and weep at the same time.

So you're using DFO to try and generate hits to your site to get more ad revenue.
Gotcha.

Why are people so adamant for posting reviews to backup what they think of their game. YOU ALREADY PLAY THE GAME, YOU DON'T NEED A REVIEW TO TELL YOU IF IT IS GOOD. The only thing I can think of is that these players are so self conscious of their game that they try and back it up with any shitty review they can find.

This review sucks, especially considering the OP doesn't even care what was written -- just the rating. On the other side eurogamers review is terrible as well, and they are a terrible review source in general (they always review a few points too low).

My only advice is if you like a game just play it. I don't like darkfall, I think it's a terrible game and obviously most seem to agree with me, but if for some reason you enjoy it (nostalgia for the past or some other odd reason) then just enjoy it. Reading "waring" opinions between "fanbois" and "haters" is annoying, not to mention just sort of silly. Chances are most of these arguments just erupt into a bunch of exaggerations on both sides with no middle ground.

I don't get my reviews from third world countries that are damn near a civil war with drug cartels.  That is just me.

Well the site is registered in Spain and the admin is Spanish...

Wrong country mate but good try!

Well, your post a 9.5 out of 10 for laughs!  Do you even realize you gave Darkfail a rating of 9 for GRAPHICS???  LOL!!!!  Are you a blind man??  Did you rate the graphics based on the amount of barks from your seeing eye dog??

Even the biggest Darkfail fan in the history of these forums [the second most popular Darkfail forums after the official ones at darkfallonline.com] came on here and he said your rating is too high.  If you were trying to build credibility for your site, you lost all credibility instead.  Your site is become one of the smallest jokes on the Internet now.

This is exactly where the money is.

They played the game, they championed it once, now its the emperor's new coat.  They have to patrol the forums to keep up the illusion.  After all, they invest their life their ego and everything they live for, in this game.  Now the game is dead.  They have nothing to live for, till the next game.

When the next game comes, they will recreate a handle log in and hype, bullshit ... whatever the screwed up behaviour they can manage.  And the cycle repeats.

It is a pathetic life they lead,

(1) if the game they champion is a major success, everyone plays, and they suddenly fear the influx of the "carebears"

(2) if the game fails, they feel the need to hype it here.

Either way, you will endlessly see them post. Spin.  Moan.  Troll.  All the same.

You should by some neurons. Thats just me.
 

His opinion resumes like this "Despite the hacks, exploits and bugs, it deserves a 9.5 for originality, courage, and the history and legend being built by the players themselves based epic battles". But reading it full contradictions are stunning.
