I may not be a professional critic, but I am a critic of Darkfall. Got it?

You sound exactly like a critic. /sarcasm. Caps lock with "in your face" type arguing. Yeah like the other guy said, theres nothing anyone can do for you if you cant tell the difference between a critic and a hater. People that cant tell the difference like to share their linear knowledge of the subject by quoting wiki or dictionary.
Since when did al movie critic post his review for everyday for weeks or months and passionatly despise it. No one in the right mind does such a thing.
Typical Darkfall fankiddie. Can't accept that they are wrong even AFTER it's been shoved in their faces. Either that, or he's decided to make a post without actually reading mine. Which, you know, wouldn't actually surprise me.
Yeah that's what i said about Warhammer, AoC, and every WOW expansion. DF has delivered more fun/quality gameplay than all those put together.
but they *are* carebears who play WOW. Checkout the post history of people who hate on Darkfall. they are almost always WAR or WOW fanbois who came to DF because they were sick of the dullness of WOW/WAR and then couldn't hack it. the ones who aren't WOW/WAR fanbois are "career DF haters".
any normal person who finds they don't like DF would just leave, and go play some other game. people who continue to hang around DF long after they first post they don't like DF are haters, who mainly hate because they're grade 1A carebears & cowards, and this is their way of "getting back" at the big bad mean players who kicked their butts in game. true story.
why do you think some of "us fans" hang out here? for the RL lolz of reading emo-driven DF hate from carebears. it's delicious.
Ah yes, the typical DF fan response to all who criticize or don't like the game. Its because people aren't hardcore enough for DF. Is that it?
The only "emo driven" responses around here come from DF fans. Like I've said before, for a group of people who claim to be the hardest of the hardcore, DF fans whine and cry more than any others. Which shouldn't be surprising, since they have the shining example of their God King Tasos to follow.
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
Potential buyers needs to hear all sides not just the fanbois that absolutely love the game. The notion that people should just throw down 50 bucks for a game to find out for themselves is idiotic. I always do research before buying games something and I'm quite able to distinguish between a forum troll or valid complaints as i suspect anyone with an average intelligence can.
The only way to see if you like something is to try it, no one's opinion, no matter how much research you do will change that.
Ok, so it didn't deliver everything it promised but that doesn't stop it being enjoyable in the state it is now (for some people)
I appreciate you feel cheated and that sux.
And this isn't aimed at you but just deliver the facts as you see them and move on, a lot of people seem to pour raw venom into their hate of this game.
I really think it's the other way arround with the venom. Also do you like the taste of turds? If your answer is no, have you ever tried one? That argument is not applicible to this game.
None of us "fans" have any real problem with informed criticism. On the official forums, I contribute it often.
the DF UI being clunky is just an opinion like everything else. i do not find it clunky at all - it's perfectly suited to a FPS-based MMO.
The flipside: fans describing the good things they like about the game get labelled as fanbois, shills, liars, etc. thing is, this is the DARKFALL forums - you have to expect fans are going to be here, whereas you have career haters who do nothing else but hang around here and hate on DF. There's a difference.
for us DF players, the turd here is WOW and its generation of dumbed-down repetitive gameplay that WOW/WAR/AoC/LOTRO fanbois like to call "content".
Sometimes people post 'hate' in hopes of actually finding some answers in the responses of those defending the games. Sometimes people buy the game and try it and get frustrated, then come to the forums and post while they are still mad... and they vent.
The best thing a DF fan can do is keep their calm and respond to those types of posts with information... in a friendly manner. Afterall, you aren't trying to shrink your playerbase, are you?
And yes, sometimes people are just spitting venom to spit venom and perhaps just get people angry. Trolls.
Is it theraputic? I don't know about that. I think it's just entertainment for them.
If you don't like it then leave, noone is making you read threads.
Trolls = Hardcore
Fanbois = Carebears
The only posts I read in threads are my own.
Agreed
The funny thing is the people on the oppisite ends of the discussion are essentially the same, "Fanboys" love reading "Troll" posts just as much as "trolls" love reading "fanboys". If they didnt they would never open threads, or make threads like this to fuel each other. No one makes fanboys open obvious troll posts and vice versa so why do they do it? because oppisites attrack.
Waiting for:EQ-Next, ArcheAge (not so much anymore)
Now Playing: N/A
Worst MMO: FFXIV
Favorite MMO: FFXI
Well, the question for a guy that favors and plays World of Warcract consistently, may not be best, but for anyone else not favoring the player-centric and more player-influenced environment of Darkfall, where else can that type of game be found that is doing it better, where I may test-drive. I tried EvE and wasnt into being a space-ship.
Yes...Then after the bashing I touch certain parts of my body while thinking it over again...You know...Like I touch my foot..or itch my ear..Perverts.
I can only hope Darkstar's computer gets so bugged and spammmed that he can't even turn on his computer long enough to see the power light come on.~ From Omni's (Travis') Wife, Karesta.
Your first sentence is total bullshit. After research, no matter how detailed, you still have to do it? After the general send out his scouts to survey the road ahead and got a report that it is mined by a million explosives, the general still need to send in his armored division and see for himself?
At least the general should be sending in the mine sweepers.
In the same corollary, if I know DF stinks, at least I would wait for a free trial b4 shoring up my cash. Pay for it? Not in a million years.
Are you actually suggesting that your silly little definition is better than a dictionary site? Someone's full of themselves, and it's not me.
What else do you expect from them devour.
They cannot defend the game using the game itself, which is hopeless. So they resort to words of game. After all, DF is playing online here, not in game.
Do people that dislike DF get some theraputic satisfaction from bashing it?
Fuck yes
Some people seems unable to understand that "they having fun in Darkfall" AND "Darkfall being a pile of crap" could both be TRUE at the same time. Some people could have fun with a pile of trash
Best description of Darkfall i saw on this thread
Perhaps you are the one is not capable of play a complex game, with many options to do, so you instead play Darkfall, in which you only need to run around naked spamming leftclicks, and that is good because it dont force you to think
I think posting on forums and reading them is sort of theurepuetic, like watching TV or reading a book, it can be relaxing, and provide some escapism. But bashing Darkfall doesn't do that any better or worse than posting about most general topics on MMORPG.com.

pornography - : the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement
Jee that sounds like every advertisement on tv
You see how definitions can be interpruted in many ways? You just wont admit the fact that your not a real critic and just a troll because you post DF hate all the time

If you're hating on "haters" aren't you a hater? If you are trolling trolls, aren't you a troll too?

My comment on the UI was an EXAMPLE of a verifiable claim (my choice of words clunky, was becouse i choose not to write an entire esseay on the things wrong with the UI, figuring people would be smart enough to reconise it was an example, i was wrong). However, "This game is the best game ever" (typical response and description from fans) is not.
And yes, there is a difference, however most of the fans are simply not willing to see it. Same with the leader of the horde, taco.

"Hello person posting on a site specifically for MMO's in a thread on a sub forum specifically for a particular game talking about meta features and making comparisons to other titles in the genre, and their meta features.
How are you?" -Me
the simple truth is Tasos is no worse or better than any one of a dozen game developers: they report their game's development as it is at the time. you can find Tasos emorage on every MMOG forum today - WAAA!!!! you lied/changed something, WAAA!!!!. game development is hard and sometimes shit doesn't go as planned or a theoretical feature sucks when it's actually implemented, or is just not possible for technical reasons so it gets taken out. so what.
harping on about Tasos == evil waaaa!!!!11 is just as naive now as it will be 10 years from now when you're my age and you read these naive WAAA posts and laugh.
the only provable difference is that DF's development, while long, has been well documented in dev journals over time (286 pages of developer journals and interviews up to 2009). there have been long periods without updates, but hey, that's what game development is about - developing.
No, it's more like WOW is a kid's game, with lots of flashy knobs and dials that don't do anything, designed for kids to play with.
Darkfall's more like Warhammer, the table-top version. designed for adults, with more attention given to the gameplay than presentation and repetitive time-sinks.
and FYI, yes i would pay the same for both, but WOW is for kids, DF is for adults. just like DF, the kids in this metaphor can't understand the attraction of Warhammer either.
I don't know the statistics. Can you post a link where more under 18 year olds play WoW than over 18 year olds? Or do you have some other definition for "adult"?
