The Final, Everquest 2 Review =p

[Duhulk]

Well they finally finished ripping my review apart and posted it.

If you're intersted in the, much lengier, original review, you can find it here. http://www.geocities.com/sayjinman/ =)

Maybe you should take 5 minutes and proofread your review before you send it off? I've found five or six spelling errors so far, and I'm barely halfway through.

Fucking public school graduate.

Decadence is what happens when form is what matters, and content is irrelevant.

Barbarism is what is when content is all that matters and fuck the form.

Civilisation is what goes between these extremes.

[McCheese]

No rain, wind or snow to be found in this game. Perhaps they intend to add it later in a patch, perhaps not.

I must be imagining those 20 minute long rain showers in Commonlands.

No offense, or maybe take offense, but who are you, and why should we care? Is there something important here or?

From what i can tell all this seems like is a normal game magazine article with third grade sentence structure. Previously cited spelling mistakes aside, this article is quite simply poorly written.

If your point is that your 'editors' of this place decided to butcher your article, well, they should have, as your original article was rediculously long-winded and mostly full of crap. They really should have cut out more, I'm still not sure how they allowed a full paragraph about the lips of models into a game review article.

Basically, you go out of your way to point out the bad things about eq2, without in any way incorporating into the flow of the article (not that your article had any flow). Of course they're going to cut it out. Not to mention that a huge chunk of it was cut out just to remove that rediculously prevalent condescending tone that you took.

That is not a good omen.

You, and your breed of idiot monkey are the reason that online journalism is looked down upon.

A great deal of outlets just don't look at it (unless of course, they actually get interested in your print work too), and a most will not even look at you if that's all you've ever done (Depending on where you've done it for, naturally.) because of people like you have shitted up the internet with your badly written tripe.

I mean that with every offense, even the ones I didn't include.

Your ridiculous sham of a site gave Halo 2 98%. Your "holiday buyer's guide" logo made me feel rather sick, and the content was just a list. Congratulations on not justifying anything.

What is this shit? The first PVP MMO? What!?

Maximum game resolution has been increased from the typical 800x600 pixel resolution to 1600x1200 to enhance the experience of the lushly rendered graphical landscapes.

GASP. And to top it off, it was posted by somebody called "Red Dawg."

Actually, I'll just say copy-pasted. Because that there is a press release. Your site lacks such integrity that it has to hide the names under the rolling prose of your laborious reviews, which flow with all of the consistency of thick, sugary treacle.

For those of you who aren’t too bright and suck at subtraction, the game I’m talking about is EverQuest, and, obviously, EverQuest II is its sequel.

As well as a crappy journalist, you're also an arrogant hypocrite.

Within the first few paragraphs you say something like "but more on that later" twice.

Then you come out with this doozy -

Many female races have huge breasts and thick hips and stand like, well,

LIKE, WELL? ARE YOU CONVERSING WITH A FRIEND? IS THIS A REVIEW, OR AN AIM MESSAGE?

If there was one area the original EverQuest was sorely lacking in, it was sound and music. While they were passable,

Did you play Everquest? The music only got passable in PoP, and even then I doubt many kept either on.

SOE claims they designed the game to go up to level 200

You what? I was told by the goddamn producer that it would stay at 50 for a while then raise to 60 some time after. Obviously I was told a blatant lie, so someone here will tell me I suck.

EverQuest II is not EverQuest, nor is it intended to be.

Actually...to quote the producer again, "Everquest 2 is meant to be Everquest's sequel." So, in some essence, yes it is.

Your review labours to force it down our throats that the game sucks, in its (See that? That's the possessive of "it." Not it's. That's "it is.") and then give it 87%.

Such a rotting spinwagon should be burnt - not that any of our urine is worthless enough to put it out. Giving 99% to Halflife 2, 96 to doom 3, and 95 FUCKING PERCENT to Deus Ex 2, a game of awful quality, buggy gameplay, and just over six hours of a mixamatosis of a plot.

98 for burnout 3? I'm loading San Andreas...98! KOTOR 2...broken link. Awesome. I count three broken links on big name games that people would want to read - however, none of them would have any sense to come to your ridiculous sham of a site anyway.

Begone with your insipid, firefox-hating, azure hunchback of a site.

I almost feel bad for the poor guy

[Magnum PI]

He needs to go to community college and take a couple courses in professional writing. Unless I am shown different this guy is 15 years old. And at 15 I wrote better crib notes.

[Xitix]

It reads like a joke really.

"Each city also has some houses to buy, but these are ungodly expensive and likely require multiple people to pay for. "

Then

"One thing I feel I must mention is, even though the game’s packaging advertises guild houses, there is absolutely no guild housing in the game"

Wow large houses that take multiple people to pay for, wonder who would ever rent those ......... (hint for the reviewer since they seem to have missed it: guilds)

[Deathwing]

Wow, looks like we touched on a nerve there Bog? Very nice read, quick, someone mention a bit about waste "engineers" and maybe I'll write something that long.

[Duhulk]

K, you guys try to juggle a holiday review schedule with a real life, job, and school, then we'll talk =p.

Any errors are indictive of me not having the time to painstackingly proof-read everything, not my intellect or eductional standing.

I thought some people might find it interesting, clearly I forgot this isn't a place for thinking, but mearly peen waving babies. My bad ;>.

As for the houses and guild house thing, they are NOT the same thing. It was, in fact, in a post by Moorgard himself that the expensive houses were meant for a couple, "a couple" not being a term that applies to the number of members in a guild, of people to pay for. In the same post he said that there were currently no guild houes in the game. So shove it, okay?

[Shaof]

All it needs is a little GFraizer spice to be a 10. Just toss in words like 'awesome' or variations of it such as, 'awesomeness' or 'totally awesome' every few words and you're set for an Edward R. Murrow award.

[Deathwing]

OMG, you're telling me I should feel sorry for you because you VOLUNTARILY choose to have a job, go to school, have a RL, AND review games(quite poorly I might add)?

Fuck off, you choose to do that stuff, suffer the consequences from your poor actions. You remind me of those whiners who joined the reserves prior to the war just to get through college, and then were surprised they had to go to Iraq....

You bet. It's hell finding work at my age. It pisses me off that people such as this guy claim to have "THE FINAL" on anything, let alone Everquest 2. This is pretty much tantamount to someone telling you're they're "a culinary engineer" at Mcdonalds.

Okay. There. That was the last year of my life. I had my last year of exams, university, work (Including deadlines!), a social life, and time to write reviews for the sites I work on. Gadzooks.

Something you may find here is that people also have jobs. And school too.

Peen waving babies? You just posted your review claiming it was "the final everquest 2 review." That's peen-waving.

Babies? Hrm. Now, I'm going to just guess here, as you don't say it very obviously...

But I'm saying you're 15 or 16. Sayjinman? Dragon Ball Z fans are not often respectable adults, and do commonly go to school. I'm 18. You've got no right to call anyone here a baby. If you're actually 18 or over, that's even funnier.
