People you want to rifle butt smack

[sacrine]

I pretty much joined solely because of this, I was checking out some of the reviews for RO to see what people thought of it and came across this one by xplay.. they have a video (flash console) attached to it where the guy went through the game and made comments.

It was hilarious but at the same time made me want to punch him.. I pray that people like him don't direct the gaming industry and if they do.. that people like tripwire break off (or start up outside of) to make decent games (screw EA for trying to take over Ubisoft)

anyways if anyone wants a good laugh (i know I should have posted this in the reviews section but meh) here it is.. the written review is pretty bias

On another note, if any of the RO staff read this please continue this on into the U3 engine.. RO is bloody amazing but I could see you doing better with a more able environment (which I assume the U3 engine would give). If anyone likes realism (or realism like) stragegy games you should check out faces of war.. sequal to soliders : heroes of world war two.

While I have a certain Bayonet for that chicks rear.

"Other games like Call of Duty may be far less realistic, but succeed much more greatly in creating an immersive experience."

does he even understand the word "immersive"

well he is right.. 95% is left in the cold.. cos they dont know how to TEAM PLAY..

lol. I play CoD2 and RO, and RO is so much better. CoD is ok when i dont habe my pc (its on my mac) but whats more immersive, each gun feeling like a different gun, or there being three guns, the bolt, the the semi auto rifle, and a machine gun.

Oastfront?

That was bad. As punishment they should both be forced to make love to that ****** (I guess he can't be named) guy in a vat of slaughterhouse runoff.

I think most of the people on this forum are very familiar with that review. When it was first circulated around there was a big outrage. Basically all they did for that review was play a few practice games with the uber stupid bots so they could get video footage, then they took Tripwire's main selling points and turned them around to sound negative... they didn't even think about giving the game a chance.

I think Amerikaner wrote a letter to Xplay that was pretty funny, is that still around?

[Kaneohe]

FPS's shouldn't be fragfests for twitchgamers! Can they get that into their heads?

[MCoZ]

Although I thought the review itself to be a bit one sided, it was really the obnoxious female co host and her demeanor that annoyed me most. I left a comment on their review page, voicing my opinions. Perhaps they just arent elightened, or perhaps they have just played to many cookie cutter FPS games that tout themselves as "origonal and realistic".

Im glad that a lot of average gamers have seen the light. The RO light.

[[16ID]Malcolm]

OMG how can somebody be is ignorant and dumb.They obviously dont know jak **** about this game or this community.

[Shadow_Man]

Lets spread our words and send our guest pass!

[mistkäfer]

ROFL that was even worse then the test that the gamestar (biggest german game mag) wrote

[Trendkill]

I find it so funny how they make using the iron-sights sound like such a chore.

[BlackLabel]

WTH.....

"the game has no crosshair so you have to aim over the sights of your gun"



"ZOMG you need to reload OMG"



"NOOOO hEelTh packs..."



wth was that ? The guy looks like straight out of rehab and that punny girl knows nothing about games.

Good for a laugh and shows again why incompetence rocks today...

I think that review was very fair if you look where they came from.
And in fact they state where they come from. Simplistic fun.

You wouldn't expect that a three year old child would review your favourite flight sim the way you'd do. Same goes here.
And after all such reviews help that people who most likely won't have fun playing RO don't lose money buying the game.

[HeatFire]

RO is simplistic fun! aim shoot.. just takes it to a new level..
depands patiance.. it's like.. i went to a school with really really good CS players.. (heaton) <-- if anyone knows who that is.. and another great player.. once i told him that dieing in CS sucks.. so booring watching the other guys playing for 5 minutes.. then he answered me that he dont know about that since he never dies!! and that is true.. never seen that guy die more then like.. once or twice.. atleast not against "normal" players..

players like that dont exist in the same way in RO.. everyone dies sometime! ppl from UT and CS dont wanna die! dieing is bad! in RO it's the teamplay that counts the most i believe.. if you kill 2 and die after that.. in CS thats just mediocre in RO you are doing your team a favor.. even killing one then dieing is better in RO then in CS..
of course if you dont teamplay in CS.. but most often it's about who killed the most anyway more then who bombed what and what team won if you ain't having a clan match..

but yes that review was fair but unfair.. cos i rather see objective reviews then subjective.. that review were only from the eyes off what he though not what the game were aiming for.. of course he wrote pros like ultra realistic. but shouldn't that make it worth at least 3/5? since it does what it's supposed to do extremely well.. and yes.. the physics sometimes is kinda strange.. but thats the UT2004 engines fault.. it's kinda dodgy sometimes..

if you built your house on the ice it's not the house thats badly constructed when it sinks in the spring. it's just badly placed..
but i don't think they could have chosen a better engine to build the game on.. just wish there was the same rag doll effects as in the HL2 engine

my review would end up at like 95-98% cos it makes everything it's supposed to do very well
