Believe the gamescom shakeycam is the only footage out there still Ramm.
Luckily (or not), no-one filmed me at the Swedish thingie the year before John, when I (apparently - I think it is an Evil Lie) gave some DICE producer the finger. But he was being a tosser so, if I had done it, it would have been well-deserved.

And no, we don't all listen to sodding metal. Only when we can't get John to TURN IT DOWN DAMMIT.

Despite my appearance, I don't get drunk and high. And while I used to listen to Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer a lot (and played in my own metal band), I listen to more modern music these days. Lately I've really been into Demon Hunter, Diecast, Becoming the Archetype, Living Sacrifice, Sevendust, and As I Lay Dying to name a few ;)

regression yay!

The text review opens on a more diplomatic note:

Dissing Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 for not being what we like in a game is like kicking the crap out of some kid’s sand castle at the beach. He worked really hard at it, so what kind of angry pathetic critic would take it upon himself to destroy it?

Let’s be honest, Red Orchestra just isn’t our particular cup of tea. Hard core realism is something to be admired, but not necessarily enjoyed. We could take the time to understand the complex bullet physics in the game, or perhaps pick up some books on early 20th century Russian combines to learn how many rounds their clips hold, but we would rather just shoot people in the face. Really.
But really, Xplay is not the place to go for intelligent discourse. The problem is that rather than approach the game for what it is, a niche title, they just stand back from the position of their key demographic and take pot shots at it.

it's true, look not only at the idiotic reviews some people gave ROOST but also even more recent with KF. just big wigs crapping on the little guy and sucking up to the big boys making the mainstream games.

i vaguely remember a score of 41/100.......41? come on. that's essentially equating the game to being the class moron. hell even guessing C on every multiple choice question would still get you a 60/100. scoring below 50% would be like the game literally having tanks with no turrets, players with no legs, or guns with no ammo.

hopefully with HOS, the meta score people will throw out the obvious idiocy that will most likely again appear in the form of "reviews".

You should visit Poland in June. The "Big Four" of heavy metal is comming to Warsaw - Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax. One scene, one day, 4 best bands ever ;)

[About G4 Review] I hope I never have to see that review ever again, bad memories. Oh ya, great review, you were playing with bots and still couldn't hit them and then you rage quit and cry about it on your TV Show ;).

I know RO has its high learning curve and is not meant for everyone but damn, could you ****/dump on it anymore? Did not even try to spray some air freshener on it, you just took a squat and let it all out. Hopefully RO2 will get some good reviews by people that know how to do write one without bias..

metallica hasnt released something worthwhile since 87 or so, slayer hasnt since 94, anthrax since 86 and megadeth is the only one who still makes decent material.

If you want killer thrash in the modern age, go for stuff like overkill, sodom, destruction or something.

What cheesy metal bands have to do with this topic? Because a TWI dev mentioned listening to metal? Right.

I'd like to read this preview aswell, but I couldn't find anything. I must be pretty damn terrible with Google.

Hey, World Painted Blood is pretty good. Not as good as Reign In Blood, but pretty good. So are some of the songs on Metallica's latest release, but it's ruined by terrible production (loudness war).

Yes, yes you are.
