Heh... it almost sounds like you're from a developer whose game we didn't like, mckracken. Otherwise, it seems pretty odd that this thread represents every post you've ever made on this board.

This thread is just hilarious.
I think we're all being played here. I mean, there's no way anyone would actually say the things that McCrackhead is saying here and mean them. "Its of course not the job of a reviewer to help people decide buying a game or not." "But why would a potential reviewer need to take into consideration other tastes and preferences when judging something? You know whats that called in print puplications? Bribe." "It is not subjective. We know from professional reviews (print) that these two games averaged to be rated higher than Broken Sword." C'mon, you know that kinda stuff can't be said with a straight face. McCracken is just simply the most brilliant (and persistent) artist of sarcasm that we've ever seen on these forums. And for that, I take my hat off to him. Of course, it is possible, I guess, that he's just simply too dumb for words. But somehow I doubt it. "Its because youve got bad taste - it happens." Comic genius. Somebody wake me when this guy's gone.

I think you're missing a point here, Mckraken. Just because a game gets a five star rating, doesn't mean it's perfect.
But this is funny. Go on. |

Oh wow! I'm still trying to catch up in AG and somehow missed this beaut of a thread.
This is one of the best laughs I've had in ages. I can't even believe the likes of Dom, Ragou, Marek, Stinger, et al are even giving this McCracken fellow their time when clearly he's one of the biggest wind-up merchants in existence. McCracken, how on earth have you managed to insult and look down upon so many people and yet still evaded the required "sod off!" response? (of course, that's only my subjective point of view, of course). What's your secret, eh? I'd say you don't have a secret - you've just been extremely lucky that you are posting on one of the most friendly and tolerant gaming sites on the net. And to just be subjective once more for the hell of it, there is no such thing as the perfect rating system and reviews are always, yes ALWAYS, subjective. Take off your blinkers, man!

You people gotta learn to take critique, and not going spastic like complete msg board nerds, over a simple "reviews are bad on this site". |

Everyone here can handle arrogance. We just insist that at least a MINIMUM standard of intelligence warrants the effort. Your posts lack that. Your total inability to form a coherent argument has gone from frustrating to funny to just plain boring. Hell, I even tried to back you up on one of the few points that MIGHT have had merit, but you preferred to taunt people with no purpose whatsoever.
You're right about one thing, though. We DID overreact to a simple "reviews are bad on this site." Not because the responses were unreasonable; just because it's obviously a simpleton's opinion, and wasn't worth the time. |

This thread is not going anywhere so I'm just going to lock it.
PM me if for some reason you disagree with that decision. |
