If something is good, and people say it is good, it must "just be hype" and the poster "must be a fanboi." LOL MMORPG.com...

Originally posted by BadSpock whats new right? although eventually everyone will find "the game" for them if not well guess I feel bad for them. For someone who has played these games since they were text based I can easily say these past beta weekends have been the most fun I have had in a online game pretty much ever. Label me what you want but I'm just happy to find a game that fits me and what I like in games in almost every aspect. I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

I fully stated early what my 1-10 scale is, and my scores accurately reflect that scale. 10 - almost perfect, without any major flaws and barely any noticable minor flaws 9 - exceptional and far exceeds industry standards 8 - exceeds industry standards 7 - industry standard quality for a AAA scale production 6 - below industry standards, some noticable flaws 5 - multitude of noticable flaws and issues yet still functional as a whole 4 - borderline non-functional due to excess of flaws and issues 3 - barely functional due to excess of flaws and issues 2 - completely unfunctional / missing 1 - reserved for lies, fraud, deliberate misleading / contradictary - corrupt/immoral business practices etc. MMO History: |

I think bias is fine as long as the writer recognizes that and states solid resoning for his opinions, which BadSpock did. Eloquently. What I suppose you meant to say was "He doesnt share my opinion, he must be a raging fanboi" |

I debated disagreeing with the review score but that would just be trolling. So much of game ratings are opinion based and my preferences are in the minority most of the time. What I will say is thank you Spock, for taking the time to break it down and share your review. AND unlike SWTOR, I think you're probably right on this one.
Sorry, had to throw that at ya lol

Originally posted by Requiem6[mod edit] Bad Spock gives a logical, well presented, insightful and reasonably exhaustive (p)review of the game and your answer is to spout a tired one-liner like an old hack.... [mod edit] As for my impressions of the (p)review - it was excellent, and largely agrees with my own 'scorings' of the various elements of the game. If we could find a detractor of the game willing to put in so much time and effort, insight and illustration into a critique of GW2, we might be on to something.... .... but then building a logical case for such a position is not something I would like to attempt - even if I wanted to - GW2 has quality in depth demonstrated from what we have all experienced ourselves, and there is no reasonable standpoint one can take to justify any credible prediction that this state of affairs does not apply across the unseen areas of the game. That would be flying in the face of the plethora of evidence. [mod edit] Well done sir - credit where credit is due! |

I do think opinion pieces have weight based off of the experience of the author. Decade+ MMO gamer, member of this site since 2004, 40+ hours in-game time w/ GW2.
Not trying to toot my own horn too much, but I'd trust this (me) over a guy who played an hour during a stress test. MMO History: |
