What I find retarded is that you don't even address me personally. I know you're talking about me, but you don't have it in the sack to call me by my name. Are you a coward? A troll? Hmm I don't care really...

I decided against starting my post with "Dear Squilliam" since (a) it is obvious, as you yourself have acknowledged, that my post was in response to you and (b) half of my post reflected on a mentality shared by multiple people on this site. I'll assume that the vitriolic nature of your reply, complete with the character assassination which you claim to despise, is due to the fact my post legitimately called you out.

I suppose I just feel confused as to why you make such a sudden song and dance over the excellent initial critical reception for Killzone 2, where previously you made no such threads in response to the early and glowing reviews of MGS4, Gears 2, LBP, Fable 2, etc, etc.

Can we not just sit back and let the KZ2 reviews all come in, rather than singling it out for special treatment?

If this game were an Ubisoft title to be published on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 and I made the same thread I would expect a completely different response. Furthermore I said twice before your post that I believed the game is excellent so how does criticising the review process around the game constitute an attack on the game itself?

You had a pre-conceived idea about my motivations and therefore your response is coloured by it.

 

Just because you've said that an excellent game is excellent once or twice, it doesn't mean that every post you ever make about the game again is, as standard, objective or without agenda.

I don't care for hypotheticals like "if I had made this thread about a multiplat, would you still have said this?" - you chose KZ2, which seems curious considering how you've never taken such a stance before in situations identical to this.

 

Indeed.
