Let's take a look at thismeintiel's post that's being critiqued here. > "Rare's most ambitious game" isn't a huge promise?" Defining that huge promises were made. > "Instead people are getting bored after a couple hours." Says that people are getting bored of it. Not him. So ... good, so far not lying. How can we know whether or not people are getting bored after a couple of hours? Testimonials. What platform are we using, right this very minute, that can easily be used a testimonial regarding the game's quality? The internet. > "And seeing everything the game has to offer in under 4 hours." A continuation of the premise set up by the previous sentence. Obviously influenced by other peoples opinions of the game. You guys act like he was making broad sweeping claims about the game that were so ridiculous only a player could form an opinion on them. Instead he pretty much just said what every reviewer has echoed, what every player has echoed, what every streamer has echoed. A lack of content. You can argue with him if you want to, but it seems highly suspect to make fun of someone and say they were given "ownage" because they are giving a general statement on a game that almost everyone who's played it agrees with. It really seems like you are only calling him out in this specific instance because this is a game you like, this standard is surely not something two-three users are going to apply consistently to themselves. You could say he's being a bit too snarky and I'd probably agree, but that is totally up to perception since this conversation is text based. Personally I think there's a difference though between your perceived quality of a game before playing it, and the quality you feel the game maintains after playing it, and it's totally fine for him to have a perceived notion of how good a game will probably be ... because we all have these notions in our head before we play a game. People only call them out as ridiculous as soon as they're negative. |
I think the problem is too many no name heroes like to dish out opinions based off others rather than there own personal experience.
If you take his word for it than you clearly would take a reviewers word for it if they havnt played the game. Thats honestly how dumb it sounds.
For the record there are also gamers out there enjoying it after 4 hours so each to there own. So you spouting out Everygamer also puts your post under an assumption.
The game is niche and dont judge it until you play it. That goes with all games.
So yes he got owned with his own comment.
