I used to do them that way but was told it seems to sterile (I actually prefer structured reviews myself, but this site doesn't do them that way). I'm also surprised how many people dislike hearing about the critic's backstory, I figured people would enjoy that. Other than that I'm getting a lot of "be concise, get to the point, no dillydallying", which I'm all for. I could easily do most reviews in 500-1000 words if I'm not going for eloquence. So yeah, more responses, this is fun! |
I remember when I was writing a lot of reviews on GameFAQs, whenever I used to get critiques about them, structured reviews were kind of looked down upon. I really don't see the point, other than the fact that it flows more freely. As I said before, I like structured reviews because you can just go to a section to read about that specific point rather than try to hunt that section down in a regular review.
