mmorpg's review

[Abriael]

If she leveled to 50 the game would get a score of 2 instead of 5 because only than she would grasp the full failure.

That's your (fairly laughable) opinion.

Fact is that reviewing a game before experiencing a fair chunk of it would be just another clear signal of lack of journalistic integrity.

Every mmo developer does this...

why you get alot of mmo with scores of 8.5+ and they end up being completely lacking in content, originality, and balance once you get more then 2 days into them. They end up being the same crap as level 1-20 all the way to endgame... and then the game just stops outside meaningless pvp.

Oh believe me, I know. I have been writing about games (and MMORPGs) for years. A journalist can play a MMORPG only so far before having to start writing a review.

Though, there's a big, big difference between playing a MMORPG a couple weeks (which is the bare minimum a reviewer should do, without being called on clear incompetence and lack of integrity) and playing it just a few scrawny hours, as the screenshots (and the article itself) seem to indicate.

There is nothing to experience, there is no content, you are feed the same mobs, leaves, environments till 50 with a side dish of terrible UI and a wrist slitting camera controls.

Thankfully you aren't a gaming journalist (but just a random hater). The kind of completely unrealistic hyperbole you just drooled is what clearly brands a very, very poor one.

Oh wait, what's another thing that plagues this lovely article? The widespread use of hyperbole.
Clearly a job welldone

I dont see how any of what I stated is untrue. Maybe in the parallel universe where you and all the white knights live in it is but here on earth average gamer who played XIV will say exact same thing I did.

It has been stated several times thus far...but regardless of some of the points made in that review, it really is a tad early to give it a score before the patches can hit

"no content" is by itself a laughable hyperbole. Everything included in a game is content.
Levequests, sidequests, high and low NMS, storyline quests, class quests, crafting, cutscenes, behests and so forth.
All of that is content and the fact that you like it or not is completely inconsequential.

By the use of that hyperbole you stated something that's simply and factually untrue, and voided your statement of any validity. Pretty much like those poor wannabe gaming journalists that fill their poor excuses for reviews with hyperbolic statements (normally because they're too poor as writers to get a point across with a factual assessment of a game's pros and cons) void such articles of any validity and pretty much prove their incompetence to their readers.

Exactly like Miss May did with this review, I dare say.

You know, people ignore this fact in order to have an argument or they'll pull the semantics card. It's like opening a novel and saying it has no content because there's no "action" sequences.
