Review RPG Codex Review: Darth Roxor on Disappointment, thy name is Pillars of Eternity

[Kiste]

The review should scale to your level ?

I doubt it even could if it tried.

 

[Grauken]

There's a lesson here, Roxor. If you ever write another review keep in mind it doesn't matter whether you make good points or not but whether you tone police yourself every sentence. Otherwise your readers may get triggered.

It's not about people "getting triggered" , it's about the simple fact that people tend to dismiss sometimes even good points if they're cloaked in obvious hyperbole. People have a bunch of rules of thumb that operate on a psychological level that lead them to make very quick and rough judgement calls. So when you confront readers with hyperbolic nonsense, then they will immediately place your article in the bullshit category, no matter how many good points you make along the way. That's something you should keep in mind when writing a review, at least if you want to be taken seriously.

People in general also dismiss arguments said in a nice and forthcoming way, when they already have formed an opinion, the whole tone-dismissal thing is just self-vindication to play deaf-blind monkey

True, but what I wrote still applies to people who have not already formed an opinion.

Any chance of you pointing me in the direction of your critical writing pieces ? Or are you just implying that your level is too low for anyone else to reach it ?

Hey, faggot, this isn't about me.

No, who is it about then?

Imaginary people?

The review should scale to your level ?

Everything should be scaled to a level of some stupid retard who MIGHT or will take things in the wrong way.


Thats the first and foremost command in game design and any kind of criticism.

The primary command:

Dont upset the retards!

lets all be in fear of retarded stupid shits!
And lets do everything we do to appease them!

Right. Everyone who thinks that this review is hyperbolic bullshit is a "stupid retard" and a "retarded stupid shit" who took "things in the wrong way" instead of someone who simply might have a different opinion about the quality of this shitview than you do.

I bow to your superior reasoning, I don't think you earned that dumfuck tag.

 

[Vault Dweller]

I have to ask, why did the codex feature such a praising apologetic review of Wasteland 2, which was arguably a mediocre product,

Tell me some here aren't bet on sucking that fucking greaseball's snake oil salesman dick.

Blame VD, the same guy that was to give 11/10 to PoE instead of Roxor.

Except I wasn't but who cares, right? The drama demands it!

 

[Black]

Too late, Dweller.

 

[Kiste]

Too late, Dweller.

The years of designing his own game have softened him, he's not edgy enough anymore for today's codex.

 

[Mystary!]

How to write a Roxor review:
1. List the good and the bad
2. ???
3. Profit!

The tag is a dumbfuck detector really.
And a proof oh how fucking low and pathetic those that put it there are.

Works perfectly. 100% efficiency.

Everyone who thinks that this review is hyperbolic bullshit is a "stupid retard"

If you think the whole review is hyperbolic bullshit just because you didnt like its "tone" or few ordinary hyperbolas, then you are indeed a stupid retard.

literally a a "retarded stupid shit" who took "things in the wrong way".

instead of someone who simply might have a different opinion about the quality of this shitview than you do.

opinions being different is not the issue here at all. Nice false dichotomy dumbass.

Your opinion is stupid and retarded for reasons noted above.

Because most of the review is actually correct and fact based - and you claim it is shit because you didnt like its tone or a few hyperbolas.

No, I think the review is hyperbolic bullshit because it contains lots of hyperbole.

a few hyperbolas.

It is quite hilarious when the guy who doesn't know the difference between hyperbole and hyperbola is calling other people "retards" and "stupid shits".

 

[hiver]

No, its hilarious when someone loses an argument but then latches on a spelling mistake to try and pretend he isnt a stupid retard.

it contains a lot of hyperbole.

Your brain contains a lot of hypershit.

In other words, stupid declaratory statements like that only prove how retarded you are.

 

[Kiste]

We were having an argument? I don't think you can have an argument with someone who does little more than call you a retard. Yes, you have "won" the "argument" by repeatedly calling me retarded, like some spastic clown. Good for you. Here, have a cookie. Also, your desperate white-knighting makes me wonder how far you have Roxor cock jammed up your ass.

 

[Jim the Dinosaur]

This is one of the best things I've ever read

 

[hiver]

someone appreciates my art!

yes!

:lolcopter:

we dont need any more proof how retarded cheap and lowly you are.

but thanks for taking the extra effort.

[Kiste]

Your repeated restatement of the same point (that I am retarded) makes your "winning" of the "argument" even more humbling.
I consider myself duly pwned.


Hyperbola, hyperbola, hyperbola.

 

[hiver]

When you claim the same stupid shit that you do thats the only conclusion.

truth be told i wasnt even referencing you specifically at first but you

saudações do Brasil

VD, love your game but the butthurt of buying Wasteland 2 because of your review will never pass. Never!

Oh, you're posting images now. You're really taking the ownage to the next level. :D

 

[Irenaeus]

For those who complain that combat is too fast, just use the slow mode.

Also, I'd recommend fast mode outside of combat to walk faster across maps you have already explored. The game remembers that combat has slow mode and that outside of combat it is fast mode.

It seems that some people got so hyped up for POE for a long time (Sensuki) that their expectations were way beyond reasonable. It's similar to Blaine spending a thousand bucks on Wasteland 2 and then hating it. Both games are far from perfect, but still very good and way better than 99.9% of other games that came out in the last 10 years.

Yeah, that's exactly the feeling I get. Except for Roxor who was on a crusade against the game even before it launched.

 

[Irenaeus]

Ok, I just woke up and I'm ready to take any of you retarded Obsyhaters trying in vain to attack this masterpiece. Come at me bros.

 

[Menckenstein]

PoE is so fat it has to put on a belt with a boomerang.
