mmorpg's review

[Physic]

Very doubtful. The moderating team in this forum is extremely lenient even with evident trolls. That's why some posting around here, filling the forums with disgusting hyperboles, gratuitous bashing and pure venom are still allowed to do so.

Which is indeed a pity.




The review not only isn't legit, but it's also extremely poorly written and misinformative.

1: it comes four days before a major patch. A patch that was announced and that any gaming journalist worth their salt should know about. If the review was written a lot of time ago, then it should have simply voided and rewritten after. When you're too slow to proofread/greenlighted your articles, then maybe you shouldn't do this job.
2: it's full of hyperbolic statements, that are the worst enemies of a fair review.
3: the reviewer doesn't even know how to write a review. Lumping up the functionality of the UI in the graphics would make any even slightly experienced writer laugh is rear off.

It's absolutely funny how some rabid haters (that must be somehow obsessed with this game, considering that they do nothing else than spit on it at every single post they write, yet they are completely unable to let go and move on like any sane person would do) would bend over twice to defend any review that speaks negatively of the game they hate. No matter if it flies in the face of logic, reality and the very basics of journalistic integrity.

Funny little tidbit, i wrote to the mmorpg.com community manager just to see if he saw reason, and he immediately rescinded my ban as it wasn't justified. At least someone in that site knows what's fair.

the beefs he has are accurate, the disclaimer is accurate, his review is not that different from reviews 3 months ago, or 6 months ago, because not much has changed. I understand you think people should wait for major content patches, but there is no real journalistic reason to.


After 10 months the entire worth of your game is assumed to not depend on 1 patch. Maybe for this game it may happen one day, but you cant hold a journalistic community up to what may one day be, or what is coming next. Realistically most of her issues arent meant to be dealth with in this next patch, so her review coming now wont matter. The projected date for a review that might make people change thier tunes is not till after sept most likely, since they have said what they expect to have done by 1.20.

Its not the end of the world, but it is an accurate review of the game as it stands, we ll see how accurate it will be in 4 days, but it will probably be accurate still.
