    Good review. I was expecting a slightly blander, less harsh version of Ed's review, but I was pleasantly surprised by the analytical nature of the piece.

    The Dorkfail reaction is hilarious! They are really are the definition of delusional fanboys.

    Also, could MrTom point out at the DF forum (I aint signing up) that for someone against console gaming XAleX seems to have the post-tag 360 when he's posting ON THE EG FORUMS? Just for fun, like.

    No :-)

    Not sure if that's a good thing, DD.

    I'd say link to this thread but the mods would have an aneurism or something if the DF'ers discovered it.

    Do you believe Kieron when he says that he still hasn't read the original 2/10 review? I don't.

    Me neither. But it makes for a nice story.
  • Deleted user 17 July 2009 13:20:43
    Why not believe him. Why would he bother writing that comment otherwise? To avoid any possibility of criticising Ed Zitron?

    To make out that he hasn't been influenced at all by the Zitron review. But I just can't believe he hasn't sneaked a look.

    I do, mostly because I can see the converstation:

    "So, Kieron, have you seen the Darkfall review?"
    "Nope. Why?"
    "Well, it got 2 out of 10.I stand by that, but there's... an issue"
    "What?"
    "The developers are being a bit uppity, making up claims about low play times..."
    "I see where this is going"
    "...and not even regarding it as a review. So do you fancy doing one?"
    "I'm not touching that with a barge pole if the original review is a bloody 2! I'm not touchiung the game, the review, or any site that features it, which will make work difficult."
    "Fine, you're fired."
    "Which is what I'd say if I was kidding! I'll do it! I'm also a freelancer, so ha!"
    "Fine, I'll kill you. let's see you work when you're dead."
    "Bit violent isn't it?"
    "Indeed. But that's how we do it at EG - HARDSTYLE!"

    He manges to adress everything that made the Ed Zitron review inFamous. I think he at least had someone explain all the hallabaloo to him.

    Cetra from Dorkfailforum:
    Yet another state reviewer thats barely played the game. If you notice he's running around naked in his screenshots doing pretty much nothing but slashing a 2h sword at mobs. nice

    I like the fact he ignored the text in the review stating that if you use decent equipment you'll lose it as soon as you die. Or the image caption that said that Keiron was trying to find his corpse. In fact, I like the whole forum thread over there. I'll give it 4/10 though as it has major problems.
  • Deleted user 17 July 2009 13:53:02
    KG's Dorkfail tag has been allegedly been outed.

    Haha. His name is Brutal Doug. Let's PK the shit out of him and add him to KOS.
    Great plan - if he ever goes back there again.

    He is also a 'blatant noob' as opposed to an 'unassuming noob' or a 'common and garden noob'. Nothing in the way of lols to be had on their thread, so far. I think we're just going to have to wait for a new video.

    What if he isn't Brutal Doug though? Some poor guy who thought they'd give it a try is going to have a really bad time. It's horrible that the community would act like that, I wouldn't touch it now. Plus if Brutal Doug logs in, it's safe to assume it's not Kieron ;)

    4 fucking pages? Is that to ensure it looks like it's done properly? And the score at the end a democratic score? Fucked if I'm reading another review of it.

    You'll post about it however, I see.

    PatAU should probably waste less time writing on websites he hates.

    I just read this gem of garbage from someone called blob on the Darkfall forum:

    so wow clon whit wings will get 7-8 score wow clone f2p will get 7-8 score , game that wow was clone of will get 7-8 score.asian clone of this same clone games will get 7-8 score. wow killer clone will get 7-8 score.Its all fucking same game.

    Is it just me, or is that just the old "bang head on keyboard" at work?

    edit: Even more rubbish.

    he just isnt obviously hardcore and needs a no brain game like call of duty which is ye good, but it obviously doesnt require skill much skill to get into and press a mouse button to fire a gun.

    Now, is it just me or has this review and all the other Darkfallians stated that stats don't affect how you hit people? Exactly like, I dunno, how an FPS works?
  • Deleted user 17 July 2009 14:26:59
    ahaa yah, as I understand it you press a mouse button to fire a spell in Darkfall. Oops. OH I FORGOT! It's backed up by stats, ergo it's somehow difficult and consequently better.

    The topic they have on the second review is hilarious.

    These people are the nerds to nerds who are nerds to nerds who are nerds to normal people. And seeing them get in a kerfuffle about this review is friggin' hilarious.

    I recommend to anyone to give their thread a read, it will lighten up your day and give you a good chuckle ^^
