| Machiavellian said: 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. |
No. I don't need anyone to be pro whatever it is that I am for me to listen to them or wouldn't dispute what someone says if they were true simply cause the person is speaking against a platform I support.
What I do no like though, and what he does a lot of, is that he is always moving the posts. Things that he would make a big deal out of today tomorrow he would say they are irrelevant simply cause they are on a different platform.
But that is even going too far, lets keep things simple. How can someone, that is one of the primary writers for a particular section in a site; that specializes in pixel counting and game tech analysis across platforms, then with a straight face then come out and say that the technical differences they have spent so much time analysing, that has given them so many hits, has suddenly become irrelevant? Don't you see something very wrong with that picture?
