mmorpg's review

[Verecund]

So much text, so little topic. Seriously guys...

Wow I guess we have some new law here. Oh my fanboys... you gotta love them and their excuses.

It's not a law. It's called "journalistic integrity". And yes, it should apply to gaming journalism as well.

I'm sorry if the concept of "integrity" is so alien to you. Maybe do you need me to elaborate further?

Comparing Rift to FFXIV is like comparing a banana to my mom's vibrator.

Beautiful. And mmorpg.com, "review"? Fu... it ;D

[Misha]

Sorry but no. Reviews aren't opinion pieces, if they are decent reviews of course. Opinions in a reviews are welcome, but they shouldn't ever overpower facts.

The reviewer waited 10 months to review the game, which means that there's no dog running after him to bite him in the rear. Which makes a very convenient release of an hyperbole-filled review a few days after major changes very, very suspicious, and at the very least journalistically shameful.

You simply don't release a review that will be inaccurate in a few days. It's not done, or shouldn't be, especially when you know that.

And if you don't know, then maybe you shouldn't be a gaming journalist.

This^^ Too bad people are too ignorant or not analytical enough to get it. It saddens me too say it, but this review is even more unprofessional and more pathetic than most ign reviews LoL They can't even get their facts straight, plus using the word "rumor" on content that has been confirmed for quite a few months is laughable. It's all about the facts... and the fact is this review couldn't have been timed worse and is a huge unprofessional pile of ****!

1.18-1.20 has an INSANE amount of features already confirmed, plus tons that obviously haven't. (plus all the in-between patches for each major one) The game IS changing drastically, for better or worse and whether you like/accept it or not >.< To anyone saying otherwise it makes you sound like a total reject lol Miracle patch isn't the right wording for sure... but game changer sure is, and that's a fact!!!

lmao people are posting comments saying that because its 10 months ppl shouldnt bring the reviewers or sites integrity into question, must be ppl that blindly follow these biased reviews

I cant help myself, this looks like perfect planned kick of hate to the product when it tries to climb up. Its just kicks ffxiv title backward.

Have fun checking the thread and see if I wrote anything that could be indentified as trolling

Not only they lack integrity in their review, but they also lack the nercessary integrity to accept the criticism coming with it.

The review got alot of valid points but it's like reading the posts here that used to spring up every other day about "what I think is wrong with 14." Overall, dickish move to release that now, if they waited this long they should've waited till like 1.20 when Yoshi's list will be completely added. That's when we know if the game will get ps3 release or get scrapped.
