They have royally screwed up in almost every aspect from game design to customer service. It should NOT be defended.

    It's fine if that is your opinion, however there are many people who love the game, probably more than hate it if these crowded zones are any judge of it!

    I'll continue playing as will others, the whiners will leave, and in a month's time people will be hating on the next fad, WildStar.

    Why do people either have to love or hate this game?  What ever happened to just thinking it's "okay?"

    Personally, I don't think it's a bad game perse, but there are SOOO many problems with it that annoy the hell out of me...and will probably make me quit it before too long.  And tell you the truth, it seems like there are many people labeled as "haters" that feel the same.

    Angry Joe for example said just as much...it's an "average" game.  It has some good parts, but it has a lot of absolutely stupid design decisions that really pull it down.

    Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?

    Haha IKR.  I never heard of this guy before, though I assume that is mostly an act.  Still funny stuff though like, "I would rather watch flies f**k" image   However, his video is just a rant unlike Angry Joe who shows video proof of what he is talking about.

    All three guys you mention barely can play a game let alone review them. Lmao. My 4 year old nephew has better hand eye than these turds.

    -rages against anyone that is famous on the internet- I think you need to take a break.

    These people aren't really famous if few people have ever heard of them btw. Not trying to justify mindless rage, just saying.

    Francis is hilarious.  The one where his WoW account gets hacked is an internet classic...

    Heart attack risk aside, Francis is hilarious and if you listen to the points he's making, he's right on the money. Of course, he delivers it in this character of his so it's hard to take him seriously.

    Often after the Francis rant Boogie will put out a proper opinion video, im looking forward to that.

    Francis still cracks me up, even now years later :)

    Expresso gave me a Hearthstone beta key.....I'm so happy :)

    Amen, this is exactly how I feel about it

    Any mmo worth its salt should be like a good prostitute when it comes to its game world- One hell of a faker, and a damn good shaker!

    Just because it has Elder Scrolls in the name and it "taints" the legacy if it's not the second ocming of jesus.

    that guy needs to work out anyway, quit the game, use the subs to go gym or something, find something healthy to do

    So What Now?

  • RandomCasualtyRandomCasualty Member UncommonPosts: 331

    World of Warcraft saved his life, so maybe he should stay there?

    Honestly, I think these people are so fanataical nothing will appease them

     

    They are like movie critics that disect a movie, point out all the bad stuff, then can't break their attention away from it

    Whereas the general population are quite happy sitting in a theatre and being brain numbed for a couple of hours

    The first of many that will leave when the shiny wears off and people realize its actually an overall weak game that didn't bring anything new to the genre. Its just filling the gap of "new" for the moment.

    The angry joe video review was absolutely terrible. He exaggerated so many things. All he wanted to do was get a video out fast that was controversial. People who fall for this stuff eat it up like candy. And they fell for it hard.

     

    dont compare these asshats to angry video game nerd. He actually has valid arguments and presents them in funny ways. He doesnt exaggerate an issue in a game to create controversy. 

  • bmw66bmw66 Member UncommonPosts: 141

    My view is this:

     

    Don't like it.........then don't play it.  Everybody's taste is different.  Why is there always a need to rant.

    If you like it........then continue playing it.  Have fun.

    Everyone want to be a youtube "star"......pathetic.

    So your refute to Francis, is to talk about Angry Joe, by comparing Joe to a guy that doesn't review MMOs. Brilliant!

    That is my problems with these reviews. They often hide behind characters. Both this guy and Angry joe add a lot of "effect" to there reviews.

    His rants are about that the a lot of content is behind a 20 dollar wall. How he prefer to see paint dry or put something in his eye. Yelling how everything is bugged.

    While his points are true, he is just overdoing it and making them sound worse for dramatic effect.

    I'm not clicking that link.. who is Francis? And I should care that he/she quit why? I'm just wondering the significance of his/her quitting and how/if it will affect my game.

    The thing about Angry Joe is that it's a big gimmick. He can't love a game, cause the review won't be funny. They always go into games with horrible attitudes looking to make fun of the game wherever possible cause it makes for a more entertaining review. They loose all credibility to me for this reason. They're in it for viewers and to do that, you have to exaggerate, scream, yell and get a group of people that sound like zombies to play with you to make it funny.

    They're a joke and the reviews usually are too. Furthermore, these reviews are all subjective in the first place. I guaran-fucking-tee you that I have VERY little in common with Angry Joe. Therefore; his opinion of the game means little to me. I bet that we don't watch the same type of porn. I may even hate the type of porn he watches. Doesn't make it not good porn.. just not my cup'o tea porn.

    I love these comments.

    You do know people are just posting this so the community can see it, discuss it and because, to some like me, they're funny. No need to take AJ, Yahtzee or Francis's opinions to heart. They are characters, but speak their minds, and no, you shouldn't let it affect your view of the game.

    On the other hand, you do seem to care enough to leave a pointess comment asking why you should care.

    agree - especially Francis - he's more a clown skit than anything else

    Not really he backed up everything he said with in-game footage. Sorry you wasted $80 but doesn't change the state of the game.

    So, let me get this straight ... you are suggesting we should prise the lowest common denominator because it makes people feel fuzzy inside? To hell with standards, to hell with quality, as long as it's 'entertaining' lets make more of it and sell it quickly before they realize what crap they buy into ? Are you saying merely mediocre is the new good now and we should be thankful for it just in case it could be worse? 

    That's... pretty sad.
