For example it says ..the only MMORPG worth playing..
How would you know that if you have not tried ANY other?
It is like only having had sex once, with a bald 300 pound woman/man with a gland problem, sure you can truthfully say it was the best sex you ever had, but was it good sex?
They tried and didnt found any other worth reviewing ?
Is the only MMORPG which can match up with action games because DarkFall can be a experience full packed with action.
That is pathetic. They didn t review any other games because it can t match up with DFO, LOL. They haven t done any because no other comapny has paid them too is all. DFO getting a 83 is a flat out joke, you know it I know it, many many many people who quit the game knows it. His high score on sound for example yet really says nothing good about it proves he just threw in some score not even thinking about it. DFO at best deserves a 60 and thats pushing it.
Unlike DarkFall in most other MMORPG's the reviewers feeled the need to zzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz
so they gave up on reviewing. You have to understand those sites review action games.

I have a question for you. If the game is so damn good why oh why are you here defending it and not playing. If it s so good let it sell itself instead of constantly making yourself look silly defending it with absolute nonsense 9 times out of 10. So i m guessing since MMORPG.com gave it a 6 it s close to right?

Easy, I have an objective outlook on it because I actually played it, as do you. The difference is I m not delusional, and comment on anything thats said good about it, yet you seem to freak out about anything negative with your usual, nonsense babble most can t understand. Just curious why you can t let someone critique your beloved game without getting all bent out of shape.

LOL!
So, then they might as well just close down the review section of their web-site since there is no need to do any more reviews... right?
I mean once you've found the perfect game, what is the point in doing any more reviews?
Who was to know that a tiny site like Game Observer would have stumbled upon the perfect game and chose to do their one single review of MMOs of said game?
What are the chances? Must be fate I'd say! (And by fate I mean $).
Of course, it would carry a bit more weight if said fans that think Game Observer is so correct with their review of DarkFall actually visited and posted on said site. Not that I'd be one to rain on said fan's hypocrisy.
Yeah... It says a lot that the only sites giving it good reviews are those coming out of the woodwork that no-one's ever heard of before, yet more reputable sites are either scoring it low or, seemingly, not even bothering to touch it.
As for the reaction from Darth, javac and the rest of the Aventurine Cheerleading Squad here... It's really not even funny anymore at this point. It's like watching political pundits speaking for and against a presidential candidate... You already know what each side is going to say before they even say it.
Darth is going to emphasize all the positives, omit all the negatives, spin everything in-between, and call it a worthy review because they praise the game. The review could be 90% negative and 10% positive, and he'd completely omit the 90% and depict the 10% as though it's the entirety of the review. The guy's become a hype-spewing Pezz dispenser.
javac is going to do his usual routine...
and on and on...

Why you have to react that way if a gaming site reviews DarkFall and rates it with 83 / 100 ?
When will you get it that the game is having fans and is being treated as the best MMORPG on the market right now by some people who likes games ?

Huh?? Anyways, simply a site never reviewing any game but DFO, MMO wise is all needed to say. You can t see this, so theres no point talking to you about it. You won t change your opinion , as I won t so we ll let you continue.
In the thread over on Forumfall about this review (forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php), some guy called Froed raised his hand and claimed the review as his. As it turns out, Froed has a link to his homepage (and subsequent blog) in his profile, and low and behold he lists himself as a 20 year old student/artist. So I guess the funny thing is that the DarkFallers are so desperate for a good review that they will take the word of some 'one-review-wonder' who submitted a review to a relatively unknown (and pretty much content free) game site over and above any semi-professional game site simply because the site/review gave them a rating that they beleieved was suitable.
Its pretty sad, but you see a similar sort of behavior in the Vanguard forums, players trying to bury the negative aspects of a game in the hopes that others will be coerced into throwing money at a borked product in the hopes that increased interest/revenue will turn things around for the game. But it doesn't work like that. And given the general levels of animosity that Tasos has generated within the gaming community at large (and the state of Darkfall with it's failed launch and hack/macro-fest), no amounts of trying to sugar-coat the game is going to work, the community (here especially) just isn't going to let that type of BS hyperbole slide. You can try to dress a pig in silk, but underneath it all, Darkfall is still one fat crap covered pig.

Wow... lol. So one of DF's own fans is behind that review. Well imagine that.
As for Tasos... his name is already being used in the same breath as John Smedley, Brad McQuaid and Gaute Godager... Not good company to be in. Somehow I think certain fans would spin that as a positive... painting him as a "renegade visionary" or something.

cause (suprise!) this is a forum, and opinions are subjective.. if its this unknown site or eurogamer
MMOs currently playing: - About to play: Lord of the Rings Online Played: Anarchy Online (alltime favorite) and lots of f2p titles (honorable mentions: 9Dragons, Martial Heroes, Dekaron, Atlantica Online)
There is a huge lack of any real story in this game, punctuated by lackluster quests and unrealized role-playing opportunities. The menus may be very customizable, but they are also slow and ugly
Ok Here is my main issue with this review. If your going to have a 100 point scale and average you have to be true to scale that your working on.
First I don't disagree with the reviewers comments on any level. I just think he was afraid to give it a sub 70 score. So lets help him out and be realistic.
Thats because the guy most probably had the final score in mind (in the 80-85 range) when he started writing the piece and worked backwards from there making sure he gave a score to each of his 'breakdown' categories that would average out and ensure the final result.

If you think that a MMORPG need to match with action games, MMORPGs are obvious not you genre. Now its obvious the reason you lke darkfall (which is NOT a MMORPG)

Or, the reason that mmorpg.com gave it a 6... the second lowest score ever given here?

C'mon Javac, we know you fanbots have a big hate-on for Ed, but at least the guy works in the industry (and will continue to do so as you DarkFallers have made him a minor internet celebrity), and while the Tasos worshippers may not have liked Ed's review, it is more in line with the common concensus of the state of the game that has cropped up in other reviews. The only reviews that have seemed to display the game in a positive light are those from 'mystery' sites, one of which (Froed's) has been revealed to be written from a heavily biased point of view. Froed's piece should be viewed as a fan piece, and definitely not as a subjective review. He has a vested interest in the game and is obviously going to do his best to portray the game in an overly positive light.

And so how do you fix the majority of hardcore pvpers who also regard DF as an utter waste of time and money due to its shoddy production, low polish and incompetent business practices?

Javac, you can do better than that.
Having to resort to throwing around the 'dumbed-down' and 'carebear' terms is usually the last resort of those who have run out of anything constructive left to say. We all know that you are a bit better than that. Surely you still have a bit of the old magic left? I would hate to see your standards drop because if you aren't careful one day you will wake up crying when you realise you have become the next Darthraiden.
Half these ratings conflict scores could be resolved if DarkFall players accepted that their game is never going to score well when dealing with the mainstream gaming media. The resulting low scores make that pretty damn clear. But having members of the DarkFall community submit 'reviews' (which are little more than thinly veiled advertisements), when so heavilly biased and purposely designed to obfuscate the game's major issues are of course going to draw the ire of those that have an axe to grind with either the game, Aventurine and Tasos.
If DarkFall was really worth the high rating that the forumfall community is so desperate for it to have, then the quality of the game would speak for itself. Alas, as yet this is not the case. The most common topics of discussion with regards to the game are hacks and macros, and even if only 10% of the stories are true, that is still going to be a large bone of centention with a lot of players and will continue to dog DarkFall's reputation for many years to come.
You know, when the fanboys has nothing to say but repeating a useless score after another, that mean there is nothing in the game worth talking (err lying) about. Everybody knows the game is nothing but an empty map for endless afk macroing and occasional zerging a noob. Everybody knows its a huge grind for the sake of 10 min gang banging all naked. What else can they talk about? Flying boat?
Is it funny to observe that in other game forums people talk about the game. In DF forum, people talk about some numbers, nobody talked about gameplay. 83 or 100 makes no difference if the game is unplayable. 83 is good only as a face saver.
Guys let the fanboys dance on the stage, they need an exit. After all, they are only talking to each other. Nobody give a damn about them any more. Very few talk here now, nothing to talk about, nothing to see. The game is heading that way, you know which way.
Heading out of this forum, not worth wasting time, not even as a soap opera. The themes are getting old and spins getting shameless.
Keep in mind that 83 out of 100 isn't that great of a score, especially compared to an A-F grading scale. Even on a generous tens grading scale, it' s a low "B", whereas it would be a "C" for schools or districts using nines or eights scales. In the US and Canada, a "C" is generally referred to as "average". So, a fan of the game with a lot of vested interest basically rated the game as a "C", or "averaage", on a converted A - F scale. And that's a high score considering some of his comments, which didn't seem to mesh with the numbers.

That is pathetic. They didn t review any other games because it can t match up with DFO, LOL. They haven t done any because no other comapny has paid them too is all. DFO getting a 83 is a flat out joke, you know it I know it, many many many people who quit the game knows it. His high score on sound for example yet really says nothing good about it proves he just threw in some score not even thinking about it. DFO at best deserves a 60 and thats pushing it.
Unlike DarkFall in most other MMORPG's the reviewers feeled the need to zzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz
so they gave up on reviewing. You have to understand those sites review action games.

I have a question for you. If the game is so damn good why oh why are you here defending it and not playing. If it s so good let it sell itself instead of constantly making yourself look silly defending it with absolute nonsense 9 times out of 10. So i m guessing since MMORPG.com gave it a 6 it s close to right?

Easy, I have an objective outlook on it because I actually played it, as do you. The difference is I m not delusional, and comment on anything thats said good about it, yet you seem to freak out about anything negative with your usual, nonsense babble most can t understand. Just curious why you can t let someone critique your beloved game without getting all bent out of shape.
For example it says ..the only MMORPG worth playing..
LOL!
So, then they might as well just close down the review section of their web-site since there is no need to do any more reviews... right?
I mean once you've found the perfect game, what is the point in doing any more reviews?
Who was to know that a tiny site like Game Observer would have stumbled upon the perfect game and chose to do their one single review of MMOs of said game?
What are the chances? Must be fate I'd say! (And by fate I mean $).
Of course, it would carry a bit more weight if said fans that think Game Observer is so correct with their review of DarkFall actually visited and posted on said site. Not that I'd be one to rain on said fan's hypocrisy.
Yeah... It says a lot that the only sites giving it good reviews are those coming out of the woodwork that no-one's ever heard of before, yet more reputable sites are either scoring it low or, seemingly, not even bothering to touch it.
As for the reaction from Darth, javac and the rest of the Aventurine Cheerleading Squad here... It's really not even funny anymore at this point. It's like watching political pundits speaking for and against a presidential candidate... You already know what each side is going to say before they even say it.
Darth is going to emphasize all the positives, omit all the negatives, spin everything in-between, and call it a worthy review because they praise the game. The review could be 90% negative and 10% positive, and he'd completely omit the 90% and depict the 10% as though it's the entirety of the review. The guy's become a hype-spewing Pezz dispenser.
javac is going to do his usual routine...

Why you have to react that way if a gaming site reviews DarkFall and rates it with 83 / 100 ?
When will you get it that the game is having fans and is being treated as the best MMORPG on the market right now by some people who likes games ?

Huh?? Anyways, simply a site never reviewing any game but DFO, MMO wise is all needed to say. You can t see this, so theres no point talking to you about it. You won t change your opinion , as I won t so we ll let you continue.
The review was a fanbot one.
In the thread over on Forumfall about this review (forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php), some guy called Froed raised his hand and claimed the review as his. As it turns out, Froed has a link to his homepage (and subsequent blog) in his profile, and low and behold he lists himself as a 20 year old student/artist. So I guess the funny thing is that the DarkFallers are so desperate for a good review that they will take the word of some 'one-review-wonder' who submitted a review to a relatively unknown (and pretty much content free) game site over and above any semi-professional game site simply because the site/review gave them a rating that they beleieved was suitable.
Its pretty sad, but you see a similar sort of behavior in the Vanguard forums, players trying to bury the negative aspects of a game in the hopes that others will be coerced into throwing money at a borked product in the hopes that increased interest/revenue will turn things around for the game. But it doesn't work like that. And given the general levels of animosity that Tasos has generated within the gaming community at large (and the state of Darkfall with it's failed launch and hack/macro-fest), no amounts of trying to sugar-coat the game is going to work, the community (here especially) just isn't going to let that type of BS hyperbole slide. You can try to dress a pig in silk, but underneath it all, Darkfall is still one fat crap covered pig.
Wow... lol. So one of DF's own fans is behind that review. Well imagine that.
As for Tasos... his name is already being used in the same breath as John Smedley, Brad McQuaid and Gaute Godager... Not good company to be in. Somehow I think certain fans would spin that as a positive... painting him as a "renegade visionary" or something.

cause (suprise!) this is a forum, and opinions are subjective.. if its this unknown site or eurogamer
MMOs currently playing: -
About to play: Lord of the Rings Online
Played: Anarchy Online (alltime favorite) and lots of f2p titles (honorable mentions: 9Dragons, Martial Heroes, Dekaron, Atlantica Online)
Ok Here is my main issue with this review. If your going to have a 100 point scale and average you have to be true to scale that your working on.
First I don't disagree with the reviewers comments on any level. I just think he was afraid to give it a sub 70 score. So lets help him out and be realistic.
Thats because the guy most probably had the final score in mind (in the 80-85 range) when he started writing the piece and worked backwards from there making sure he gave a score to each of his 'breakdown' categories that would average out and ensure the final result.
Ed Zitron is 23 years old, and is clearly an immature twat. So, the exact criteria you are using to discredit this guy's review also applies to the eurogamer review.
nice bit of self-pwnage there, gg.

So then your reasoning that Kieron Gillen gave it a 4 would be....?
Or, the reason that mmorpg.com gave it a 6... the second lowest score ever given here?
How did you say that again... "self-pwnage"?

C'mon Javac, we know you fanbots have a big hate-on for Ed, but at least the guy works in the industry (and will continue to do so as you DarkFallers have made him a minor internet celebrity), and while the Tasos worshippers may not have liked Ed's review, it is more in line with the common concensus of the state of the game that has cropped up in other reviews. The only reviews that have seemed to display the game in a positive light are those from 'mystery' sites, one of which (Froed's) has been revealed to be written from a heavily biased point of view. Froed's piece should be viewed as a fan piece, and definitely not as a subjective review. He has a vested interest in the game and is obviously going to do his best to portray the game in an overly positive light.

And so how do you fix the majority of hardcore pvpers who also regard DF as an utter waste of time and money due to its shoddy production, low polish and incompetent business practices?

Javac, you can do better than that.
Having to resort to throwing around the 'dumbed-down' and 'carebear' terms is usually the last resort of those who have run out of anything constructive left to say. We all know that you are a bit better than that. Surely you still have a bit of the old magic left? I would hate to see your standards drop because if you aren't careful one day you will wake up crying when you realise you have become the next Darthraiden.
Half these ratings conflict scores could be resolved if DarkFall players accepted that their game is never going to score well when dealing with the mainstream gaming media. The resulting low scores make that pretty damn clear. But having members of the DarkFall community submit 'reviews' (which are little more than thinly veiled advertisements), when so heavilly biased and purposely designed to obfuscate the game's major issues are of course going to draw the ire of those that have an axe to grind with either the game, Aventurine and Tasos.
If DarkFall was really worth the high rating that the forumfall community is so desperate for it to have, then the quality of the game would speak for itself. Alas, as yet this is not the case. The most common topics of discussion with regards to the game are hacks and macros, and even if only 10% of the stories are true, that is still going to be a large bone of centention with a lot of players and will continue to dog DarkFall's reputation for many years to come.
You know, when the fanboys has nothing to say but repeating a useless score after another, that mean there is nothing in the game worth talking (err lying) about. Everybody knows the game is nothing but an empty map for endless afk macroing and occasional zerging a noob. Everybody knows its a huge grind for the sake of 10 min gang banging all naked. What else can they talk about? Flying boat?
Is it funny to observe that in other game forums people talk about the game. In DF forum, people talk about some numbers, nobody talked about gameplay. 83 or 100 makes no difference if the game is unplayable. 83 is good only as a face saver.
Guys let the fanboys dance on the stage, they need an exit. After all, they are only talking to each other. Nobody give a damn about them any more. Very few talk here now, nothing to talk about, nothing to see. The game is heading that way, you know which way.
Heading out of this forum, not worth wasting time, not even as a soap opera. The themes are getting old and spins getting shameless.
ED ZITRON IS A MARTYR
For example it says ..the only MMORPG worth playing..
Keep in mind that 83 out of 100 isn't that great of a score, especially compared to an A-F grading scale. Even on a generous tens grading scale, it' s a low "B", whereas it would be a "C" for schools or districts using nines or eights scales. In the US and Canada, a "C" is generally referred to as "average". So, a fan of the game with a lot of vested interest basically rated the game as a "C", or "averaage", on a converted A - F scale. And that's a high score considering some of his comments, which didn't seem to mesh with the numbers.
