Re: Contact gamespot about their review
I think my only real problem with this review (other than the 7 for graphics which you addressed above). One additional clarification on this point - the value score was actually upped a point, to compensative for the lowering of the graphics score, so the overall rating the game received is ...

Re: Contact gamespot about their review
I can accept that this is a snapshot review, but many times when I've seen reviews of this sort which were based on issues that were in the process of being resolved, the reviewer will indicate their intention to do a follow-up review two-three months down the road. The issue of when to do a follow ...

Re: Contact gamespot about their review
Ug. If they want the scores so closely grouped, why not just remove them and only give out a final x out of x stars score... It's not that - remember, someone earlier in this thread started comparing my Ryzom review to other GameSpot reviews of MMOs - I think a lot of readers naturally do that ...

Re: Contact gamespot about their review
This is why I never read gamespots reviews (or IGN for that matter). They are money driven. You would rarely get an absolutely fair review of a game or preview. Do you think they want to promote Ryzom when it means NO money to them? . Some day you'll realize how ludicrous that assertion is ...

Re: Contact gamespot about their review
One observation though. Why is it that gamespot reviews have a tendency to drag down all scores when the reviewer has a negative tilt to the game? The standard deviation in scores on you site seems to be like 1.5 or 2. Its a rare review with a game that has Sound 10, Tilt 2. Im curious about this ...

Re: Contact gamespot about their review
There are mistakes and it looks like hes pulled alot from posts WE the player base have posted on the forums.. For what it's worth, other than looking for a solution to the Linksys router problem, I hadn't visited this forum prior to submitting the review. IThe opinions expressed in the review are ...

Re: Contact gamespot about their review
I also have a problem with the designation "major problems" under stability. Yet they have nothing except the linksys, old-ATI card problems and a couple of creature "rubber banding" incidents to back it up. Where's the horrible lag, server downtime and horrible instability we should be ...

Re: Contact gamespot about their review
the game has numerous bugs listed by other players and that is mentioned. One thing I did not see ... How did the reviewers play experience go in that area While bugs are not uncommon in different systems running the exact same software it would have been nice to see what his experience was like ...

Re: Contact gamespot about their review
"The North American Servers became live on the 20th. You .. The comment is misleading. After reading the way you expressed it, readers would walk away with the impression that Ryzom had a similar setup as FFXI did. Fair enough - that wasn't my intention. Also, the servers may have gone live on the ...

Re: Contact gamespot about their review
Gamespot gave Anarchy Online a score of 7.6 at release. Gamespot gave World War II online a score of 5.6. Note: this game was unplayable at release. Gamespot gave Horizons 6.7. They gave Shadowbane a 7.9 at release. You have to remember, that reviews are not necessarily done by the same reviewer ...
