    You are not allowed to have a different opinion of the reviewer who played it for 1hr (the guy is like rank 2) 4 months ago... Should be obvious... have to put the game in a negative light or it could hurt sales of the mmos that are paying them to plaster their adds on every corner of the site.

    lol just to play with the staff over there a bit, I created the following thread in thier feedback forum titled 'looking for some journalistic integrity'.

    Clearly I cannot find it here. You guys posted a review of FFXIV a mere 4 days before a massive content patch. When confronted with criticism regarding the date when the article was posted you resort to banning and warning the critisizers. Way to go!



    Are you guys being paid by a particular publisher? Because it really looks like you are. You can ban me for this if you'd like, I don't really care because clearly I need to look elseswhere for journalistic integrity.

    I understand your need for journalistic integrity, but it's a dying standard on the internet. You do not need to go to college to become a gaming reviewer. Many were not brought up with this standard drilled into their skulls. This changed with blogging and the community, even stretching outside of the internet into mainstream media, thinks of journalism as an opinion blog.

    Now that there are not real standards for integrity and no one has to walk the line. This is the kind of crap you're going to get. Some guy with no aspirations who has a lot of opinions and thinks he is a big time journalist because he jumbles his words together and sends it to his editor (who actually went to college) leaving him to make sense of the mindless garbage that is spewing out of his orange cheeto stained fingers.
