mmorpg's review

[Naqaj]

People are discussing a very valid and very relevant issue regarding a very unprofessional reviewer publishing a very dubious review on a high profile website.

Whether that review is dubious or that reviewer is unprofessional is just as much a matter of opinion as the state of the game itself, as the very existance of this thread shows. Once the discussion no longer is about actually talking to each, but simply discarding any opposing views as invalid while stubbornly insisting to be in possesion of the only truth, it becomes a farce that should not be taken seriously.

Your closing assertion notwithstanding - as that is your opinion, nothing more (it also hasn't stopped you from joining the fray throughout the thread - hypocrisy?) - this is an issue that does bear discussion. MMORPG.com's review is not posted by some random blogger on some random blogspot site somewhere. It's an official review posted on a high traffic website.

I have not excluded myself from my assertion of this discussion, so I see no base for you accusing me of hypocrisy. And yes, like many other reviews that concluded in calling XIV a rather bad game, this one was also on a high traffic MMO website. And just like with those other reviews, the rabid fanboys are out to defend their little game, as they should. That's a fanboys obligation, after all.

If you find it to be a waste of your time, however, well... nothing's stopping you from ducking out and moving on, now is it?

Wasting time is just as valid a reason to come here as is pretending to have meaningful discussions about game reviews.
