Sigh.
Seriously. Sigh.
It really is funny/sad how reviews completely strip the equilibrium away from otherwise intelligent people.
Random points:
1. Given how Red Orchestra is very much of a niche game, you would think that people in that games forum would think twice before projecting their views on gaming onto the larger world of gamers. We may not actually represent the majority, shocking as that may seem.
2. Being in the minority on something isn't necessarily a virtue.
3. Insisting on certain, specific conditions and behaviors from something as vague and loosely defined as a game review seems to me to be a little, er, optimistic.
4. Aside from the whole argument about Bioshock, it really is possible to give something that is not "perfect" a 10/10. Someone will always find fault in anything so, if we were to be really **** about it, nothing would ever get a 10/10. That would be wrong.
5. Just because something isn't going the way you think it should doesn't mean there's a conspiracy. You just might be wrong.
6. Using the terms "sheep", "retarded", or "fanboi" in a conversation that is about something as personal as taste does not reflect well on a person or their intelligence.
Anyway...
Having finished BioShock, I'm not as happy with it. The atmosphere, story, game mechanics, etc aren't, in my opinion, on par with System Shock 2. I still had a great time with it and it does generally put the rounds in the target area, but I'm left wanting a redone System Shock even more than before.
