The Innovator of Pain said:Don't give me that. You fucked up the sentence, then tried to blame me for my reading comprehension. I don't give a shit about typos or misspelled words, but the original paragraph as you had it made NO sense. Accept you made an error, clarify what you meant, and there's no problem. Acting like a prick will get you nowhere.
That's odd. I seem to recall your first post being little more than a flame-filled lovefest. I also seem to recall you whining about my English.
But I'm the prick.
Obviously.
The Innovator of Pain said:Hype is an essential part of marketing. It's presenting a product's features in the best light for the purposes of generating excitement and interest. Every single publisher does it, so there's no point in attacking Bethesda for being particularly successful at it.
No, but just because everyone does it is no reason to leave Bethesda alone. I loathe any publisher that hypes, Bethesda is just one of them. What makes you think I'm singling them out? Because they lied more? Well, that might be true.
The Innovator of Pain said:You are telling me they have done none of the above, but who are you? Some University kid? Why should I believe you over respected reviewers and journalists that have been in the industry for years?
Actually, those respected reviewers and journalists would be the sources I'm getting that from. Check any of the major gaming sites. They walk right over the flaws, but they point them out.
IGN is the best current example. They're asslickers, sure, but even they can't manage to lie about this with a straight face. They're pointing out flaws. Flaws that are there. Hence a perfect score is unwarranted. Is this logic you wish to refute somehow? Go ahead.
The Innovator of Pain said:I haven't played Oblivion, so I don't know how bad these perceived flaws are.
...
What?
Oooh, good one there, you almost pissed me off.
You are trolling, right? Tell me you're trolling, because you can't be serious.
You come in here, raging and storming that we dare to judge before playing it, and you haven't played it yourself?
You just lost all credibility. All footing. Why the hell are you even here? To defend a game you haven't played against unjust judgements from people that have actually played it?
The Innovator of Pain said:By the way, 10 out of 10 doesn't mean flawless, nor does it mean perfection. The fact that I'm even pointing this out to you shows that you frankly don't have much of a clue. Flawlessness and perfection can never be obtained, so what would be the point in even having a "10" score? Why not go 1-9? Oh, but then a 9 would have to be utter perfection, so why not go 1-8? And so on.
*rolls eyes*
10 does mean perfection. It's called scale. 1 is the imperfect, 10 is perfect. No, not "in existence". Everything in between is neither imperfect nor perfect. That's exactly how scaling works.
10 is hypothetical. For a good reason. They're now stuck. What will they do when a better game comes along? 10+? See the problem with your reasoning.
The Innovator of Pain said:What a 10 means is that the reviewer feels the game is perhaps the best in its genre, a real candidate for Game of the Year, and probably at least a 95 on the percentage scale.
95 would be 9.5, not 10 (presuming 0 to 10, not 1 to 10). Well done, chuckles.
The Innovator of Pain said:Look, you obviously haven't got a terrific grasp of English. You are, in fact, making yourself look like a buffoon.
Hahahaha. I love it. You do realise I have worked as an English teacher, right?
The Innovator of Pain said:I'll leave it there.
No, you won't. You accused this place of judging before playing. So I ask you again, real friendly like, to give me an example of it judging without playing. Try the General RPG section. But what's that? Reviews from people who've played the game, unlike you.
Your attempt at side-stepping is weak at best. I suggest you leave before you make yourself look like an even bigger idiot.
At least play the game before returning.
