mmorpg's review

[Abriael]

we have to remember a review of the game was posted and all reviews are based purely off someones opinion on the game. we may not agree with it, but because i don't agree with everything they said does not make it wrong. i don't want auto-attack, but that does not make your reasoning for wanting it wrong. i don't want jump in game, but it doesn't make others wrong for wanting it.

A review is not an opinion piece. A rant is an opinion piece (and a poor one). A review needs to be solidly based on facts. Not on hyperbole. On facts.
This one simply isn't.

If you feel that the game at this point is worth a 4/4.5, that's a good reason why you aren't a gaming journalist. Because just like the one that wrote this review you arn't able to fairly assess the pros and cons of a game (and I'm giving her the benefit of doubt by chalking the poor review simply to lack of competence, because there are some clear elements that indicate lazyness and/or intentional bashing, which is way worse in a journalist).

yes, they could have waited a week and put out a review afterwards, but then people are gonna shout about how this was just the first step in changing and wait til 1.20. then they will push it back even farther and clam the next one is the golden patch. the thing is if the changes do drastically change the things they bring up in the review then it becomes irrelevant, but until they do it's relevant to them.

Sorry mate, but you should know better than pulling such an extreme strawman rgument.
There's a big and wide difference between posting a review months before a major patch and doing it four days before.

You continue to harp on the fact that the rants listed in the review won't be changed by 1.18, but again, a review is (and should be) *not* just a list of complaints.

Without even going on the fact that combat is being changed, and combat is a major aspect of a mmorpg, 1.18 has the full potential to add very enjoyable aspects to the game (grand companies missions, dungeons, new quests etcetera), which means that it could easily add more *positive points* (that are already sorely lacking in this review) to a review.
Those tend to be rather relevant too, you know?
