You know what's really funny? All these no-name websites being touted as "the truth" about Darkfall with their ridiculously high scores, and yet where do all the fanbots post the most? You would think they'd all move to these "better" and "more truthful" sites. But the fact is that they know that outside of a high score to try to help their spin here, those sites are meaningless.
Oh no, the funniest thing is watching fanbots falling over themselves to try to discredit the Eurogamer review, yet the review by Gameobserver which contained basic gameplay perks was "accurate". pathetic, as usual.
PRODUCTION 72 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.
SOUND 82 Mostly good, immersive and gritty, but some sounds become repetitive or downright annoying. The music isn’t enthralling, but sets the mood. There is a distinct lack of natural environment sounds.
i don't really care, if some obscure reviewer enjoyed this game, anyone can enjoy anything at some point. but reading the description of these two points, and the marks he gave them, if freaking hilarious!
It's like the reviewer has dyslexia. I think he meant 27 for production and 28 for sound. Then the remarks he made would make sense... you can also apply dyslexia to the final score and that would be more in line with all the other reviews of this game in the universe.
heh...aren't you clever...
choujiofkono made a funny....everyone laugh...
I noticed that the numbers didn't really match the tone of the review... but now that you say that I guess it was kind of funny in a goofy speaking from both sides of his mouth kind of way. Everyone laugh with me at the small little man.

An epic battle between fanbots and failtrolls. Both sides do realize that they aren't all right? right? btw im neutral for this thread
Which is why a 6/10 makes the most sense. Seems to be the happy medium between the 2 and the truth is often somewhere in the middle.
Since the middle is 5/10 then a 4/10 is just as much in the middle as a 6/10.
I vote for the 4/10 being in the middle in regards to Dork-n-Fail. Strange isn't that the score that the reviewer at Euro that Tacos wanted to review it gave it?
BTW just what site is this review on? Must be something that someone threw up at Taco's suggestion. In fact has anyone even looked up the ownership of the site to see who it is? Might be interesting.
EDIT: This little blurb says all I need to know about this "game review" site:
Publisher: Aventurine S.A.
Developer: Razorwax
Genre: MMO
Release Date: July 13, 2009
Review Date: 09-08-2009
Numbers of Players: ---
Players Online: Massive Multiplayer
Co-op: Yes
So the game released on July 13th?? It is still listing the bankrupt and defunct Razorwax as the developer company??Aventurine is the publisher? Funny thought that Audio Visual was hence the transfer charge for the NA server. What a bunch of total fabrications and lies. They just keep on going.
Yes says everything I need to know from this Polish "gammer" site.
I assure that even the staunchest fan can realize this "review" is a joke. No need to be overly specific, just read the text and the value of the final ratings.
Lol man where do people find these bogus reviews? a 7/10 here an 83 here lol, if you seriously like darkfall play it while you can, cause regardless this game aint going to last, reviews dont sell subs, good and addictive gameplay does, something DF lacks for all but the most hardcore.
We do pull out these quaint little sites don't we to justify this pile of shit game ?
I'd go for 'Eurofagger' {I see what you did there.. ho ho ho... your a proper shakespeare}.... any day over this bullshit munching site. Hells.. Little Girl and Pony Weekly might have more credibility. Really though now I don't need any magazine to tell me what DF is. Just smell the BS coming out of AV and Tasos mouth OR go pay twice for a client of the SAME fracking game.
I have checked their sited and noticed that they have never reviewed World of Warcraft (or any other MMO that I know the name of) and have drawn my conclusion about their credibility of as MMO reviewers based on that.
It is amazing how reviews from people we have never heard of keep coming along and being positive... while, reviewers we have heard of, are all negative. Funny how that is.
What I find even more funny. Every post you fanbots make about Eurogamer just bumps its google ranking a little higher. Go search for Darkfall reviews, the entire frontpage is about Eurogamer and Tasos flipping a lid, its a great first impression.
So by all means keep counter flaming, and referencing the original.
Oh, and let me throw up a back link just to help that rank a bit
ok, so since this thread started, a few more "reviews" have popped up.
wii sports resort 81
s'plosion man 88
bionic commando 84
marvel vs capcom 2 72
little king's story 89
darkfall 83
ya, their rating system is messed, every review is a different person, and wii sports resort got an 81?? i'm sure it's a "fun" minigame, but seriously? and MvC2 a 72??? and two games, much better then darkfall, wiiware and xboxarcade games..... i see how they are looking at darkfall. it has been placed in the same category as the downloadable wiiware. makes sense, small indie publishers... 40 meg size limit.....
Doesn't matter how many obscure sites pop up with off the wall and unprofessionial reviews, game is stuck in a niche and will be lucky to survive a year with the present number of subs.

Yeah, I'm thinking that Trench wishes he'd done a bit more looking at the site before he made this thread.
For all but the most ardently entrenched fans; this thread was just more proof that these obscure sites are being paid off to give DarkFall decent review scores.
The fact that DarkFall is the only MMO with a review score says a lot.
The fact that not a single supporter of DarkFall had ever heard of the site before... speaks volumes.
The fact that DarkFall is the only MMO with a review score says a lot.

Looking at their reviews... Darkfall 83 Unreal 3 Tournament 83 so for them there is no diference between playing darkfall or unreal 3 tournament That says a lot about what they think of darkfall

I couldn't care less about the Eurogamer review,as many pointed out that got to be big news because of Tasos. What are the other REPUTABLE review sites saying not a site who has never reviewed not one other game. My problem really is the fact that far too few people are sensible if you like DF fine but a person only devalues their own opinion by denying the truth the game is devoid of lore or much gameplay at all if you don't want to join for full loot pvp that is undeniable fact but fanboys will have you believe this is not true. I like LOTRO but it sure isn't going to piss me off if someone trashes their horrible pvp system (it sucks) and I certainly won't risk my reputation lying about it. But then again that game has a healthy population and no one in it is desperate to see new players join as is the case with some of these past few failures.
but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....
The fact that DarkFall is the only MMO with a review score says a lot.

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.
The fact that DarkFall is the only MMO with a review score says a lot.
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?

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.

BAAAW Daikatana Online isn't top rated on mmorpg.com. QUICK LINK MORE NO NAME WEBSITE RATINGS
When did you start playing "old school" MMO's. World Of Warcraft?
Actually, I'm "noticing" that:
A) No one has ever heard of this "review" site
and
Sorry, but by the evidence, it's a bogus review by a bogus site.
I'm sorry, but this is both inaccurate and unfair.
As well as Darkfall Online (PC), gameobserver.com have also reviewed Little King's Story (Wii).
It got an 89...
It's like the reviewer has dyslexia. I think he meant 27 for production and 28 for sound. Then the remarks he made would make sense... you can also apply dyslexia to the final score and that would be more in line with all the other reviews of this game in the universe.
heh...aren't you clever...

That pretty much says it all right there. Your game got notable validation from one source, so you would rather believe that.
Even though many far more credible sources have given DF poor reviews.
Even though the VAST majority of people who were customers to AV feel cheated and used.
Even though the company continues to lie and pull BS that should have made them go under, but special individuals like yourself prevent it.
You and your kind can have a very fun time with your eyes shut.
