It is kinda suspicious how these global studio guys have managed to make 5 official threads now (NFS, Turok, LBP, MGS4, & R2), all of which have broken subsequent precedents on far a official thread goes. But that in of itself doesn't prove them to be viral marketers

Quote from: Jinfash on October 30, 2008, 01:12:10 PM

now lemme get this right (i just woke up so i'm a bit slow), going by Evilore's logic:

EVEN if i'm working for, say a famous publisher, in the marketing department (with mad designing skills)... AND enthusiastic about of my company's games (duh!), I can make both GAF and my employers happy by making a crazy 40-post OP and Evilore will let it slide (as long as it was a personal effort)?

the issue is more about how suspicious it is... it would be fine if the person admitted to being associated with a company.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #14298 on:** October 30, 2008, 01:37:56 PM »

I don't expect Evilore to say "Its true, I sanction shilling and virals on my site." His response is pretty much what I figured it would be. He knows that developers go on GAF. He's proud of that fact (after all, how many gaming boards are up for years that never get a mention ever?) and probably wants it to keep booming in popularity. By allowing virals to make megathreads, more developers will go on GAF and pay Tyler to make their own megathread. These threads are big enough to where hundreds of copies of a game might be sold that would not have otherwise.

Then all you have to have is a harsh modding team that bans anyone from speaking out. Let the blind fanboys call these independents a troll and a shill for the competitor. With that, the defense force can do all the work for the publisher.

I'm in favor of official publisher threads but I think Evilore thinks that it will seem too obvious and people will start leaving once they find out that publishers are setting up shop in a gaming forum. He just wants people to assume that it is just genuine hype.

Can't blame him though. I'd love to make a megathread if I was getting a few hundred bucks for it.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #14300 on:** October 30, 2008, 02:28:24 PM »

If I make a websearch for the name of the design entity I used for a number of years, part of the search results would show various game related images, and a few would pop up from a directory that a friend of mine used. I've hosted stuff for friends in the past, because I had a host and they didn't. The fact that it was by server association connected to a professional marketing entity didn't mean much, nor would it have meant anything had I made an official thread with image hosting on my server. That would be me applying whatever professional skills I have to a fan thing.

But then again, the majority of you clowns called me a viral marketer too, so hey. Your viral marketer sniffing skills are quite shit, and they don't seem to ever improve much. This behavior is borderline Republican.

More annoying than anything is the crappiness of the 1up trolling. The review author messes up on just about every point he tries to make re: his supposed experience with Resistance 1 and how R2 is different from its predecessor, and those worthless Sonytard douchebags focus on him mislabeling a weapon? Weak.

Well, I'm all for trolling of critics. After all, these are people who for some reason or the other have decided that they should criticize, and be acknowledged for it, so some shit flung their way is great. But those amateurs don't even know how to, they just go straight into knee-jerk/conspiracy mode, with the occasional "it's not about the score" thrown in there. And this while there is so much other material to craft prime shitcakes out of. It makes it pretty fucking obvious that it is, in fact, about the score.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #14312 on:** October 30, 2008, 07:29:26 PM »

Huh? I've never said anything about the review, other than that he fucked up when talking about things that have changed for the sequel. Which wouldn't look so bad if it wasn't baked in the shape of his supposed personal experience with these things in the first game. It's nowhere near as bad as Eurogamer's "Hailstorm" crap, but someone who spends his time writing reviews should probably be careful of making stupid errors in his own critical take of something. Of course, with the Sonytards being the amateurs they are, it's not a problem.

The review itself sounds really positive (too positive, based on my limited experience with the MP), which again suggests that it's mostly about the score to people. That, and Xtard presence. Me, I'm purely interested in skewering the critic for no reason other than that I enjoy doing that.

Oh please, you get it. It's not a good enough score, relative to what they have given other games. I'm pretty sure that's the reasoning, and let's not pretend that it's a coincidence or due to some alien mindset that it's Sony fanboys that feel jilted over review scores. Blame it on fanboys for being overtly sensitive, but we really shouldn't pretend that critics are without blame here, what with critics turning a blind eye to flaws in one game while being overtly critical of the next. It's a human action, but then so is the reaction. It's not necessarily always platform specific, as the fanboys would have you believe, but it's also not a myth, as the favored side would suggest.

The game has not come out yet... and u are still rating it why? i dont see why its not an A just look at all the new add on's since Resistance 1. You know the problem you editors’ have... you act like you know it all but you dont ok. you editors are stuck in the passed and are not open minded and way to picky. Every thing has to Compete with Halo, Gear's, Or some other game years ago. but guess what get your head out of your As_s because Halo is so yesterday and Resistance 2 is so today.

1up kind of sucks. Sony fans have a point with them being shitty but the thing is that if the game were to get an A, they would be jizzing their pants and confessing their love to 1up and mangod or whatever hipster nerd bothered to write the review.

B+ is a good grade. I blame the reviewers because now every major title is expected to get no less than an 9/A-.
