FinnN Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Have to agree with Joques1, whether you agree with it or not it's a fairly well written review with specific points to make backed up with evidence (unlike some other reviews of CMSF I've seen). Battlefront seem to be assuming that these days 99% of people will be able to download patches online, well those same people will be typing "CMSF review" into Google so if you think online reviews don't have any weight then you're dead wrong. Have fun Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavtroop Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Joques1 Good point. I've done a good job of completely ignoring him up until now, but I couldn't resist. He'll definitely be ignored going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkEzra Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 So Let me get this straight: You boys are wrangling over a review of CM:SF v1.0...a version that should never have seen the light of day and was Obsolete the FIRST MINUTE of the official release. A Review that has no follow up commenting on the ACTUAL release (v 1.01)? Do I have this right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtweasle Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Here's my review; Warts and all I played it until well after midnight last night. Even with the flaws, (especially considering the pathfinding & TacAI "oddness" soon to be fixed), once you get the hang of the game it's fun and compelling to play on and on into the night.

Thomm Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: ... once the established review sites with named authors start to weigh in, your google ranking will slip fast, so best to get it in while you can, huh? That is sooo unfair! *I* linked to the review, not the author! And it was *me* who pointed out the Google rating after you went into denial about the significance of this review! Where do you pull these accusations from? Best regards, Thomm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Review that has no follow up commenting on the ACTUAL release (v 1.01)? Do I have this right? He reviewed the release version (boxed) you can get off the shelf from every supermarket in germany for 34.99 EUR. This version is bugware in its worst incarnation. Even the v1.01 patch he also mentions in his review can´t hide the fact that this code suffers from multiple glaring errors and serious bugs as you can read on this board and elsewere. He obviously wasn´t aware of the hardware issues this piece of bananaware is suffering from. If he would have known about the ATI/VISTA bug he hardly would have found a 5/10 appropriate, more likely a 2/10 would fit to this piece of shameware in its current state. I can´t understand how someone like BTS can release such an unfinished product to the public and still believe they don´t loose any credibility in the customer-base by doing so. One must really wear thick pink fanboy glasses to look over all the shortcommings the release version of CM:SF is suffering from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Review that has no follow up commenting on the ACTUAL release (v 1.01)? Do I have this right? I'm trying to be fair. I didn't even mention the guy's mom is one of the forum members there. Seriously, there's no wrangling, but I would like to know why Thomm placed such significance on it by bringing it to our attention. He didn't really have much to say about it one way or the other. Edit to add that I'm not anti-mom. I'd be thrilled if my mom showed up on a forum to participate in informed discussion. I certainly have no qualms about introducing my friends to her. Or my dad.

Maybe because this thread was about a devastating review and the linked review, independently, makes practically identical points? What should I have said about it?! Does it not speak for itself?
