| Intrinsic said: I dunno what is going on at EG. But I can say this much, the OP didn't put a link to the site, and before I went their and found the artiicle myself, I already KNEW that its an article written by Richard Leadbetter. That says a lot. I think gamers don't realize that these media guys are actually no different from us here on forums whenever they are making an opinion peice. Only difference is that rather than sttae their opinions in a thread, they write up an article and upload it to a website. Doesn't mean they could be any less of a fanboy or have an agenda. Leadbetter, well... just read through any 10 of his articles and you will see what I am saying. The guys is an obvious troll. Well, unless of course he is talking to others just like him that is....... |
I have been reading Eurogamer for a long time and it's interesting you say that Richard is a troll. If anything he seems to be a MS or Sony shill depending on the game, feature or hardware. I have seen him praise the Sony platform, its games, features and hardware and be called a Sony shill. Then he praise a feature or game on the Xbox platform and he is biased paid MS shill. What I have found is that he likes what he likes as most of us gamers do and tell it as he sees it. The problem with having an opinion that swings based on the game and the hardware is that most forum people can only see in one color. If you present them with multiple different colors, they get confused and instead want to paint you as beign black or white. So if you are not pro Sony then you are a biased MS shill. If you are not Pro MS you are a biased Sony Shill. Lately he is painted as a MS shill but I am sure that will change over time. Either way, the fact that people think of him one way or the other probably is more proof he stands in the middle than anything else.
