words words words. Seriously, guys, I don't think this is a great review (and I'm not afraid to publicly say so)--except for the controls I don't think his complaints are all that serious Stan didn't like the game and clearly felt the only way he could write a review about something he felt was so terrible was to pull a Deguello. You disagree and think his points are totally invalid--and they are pretty moot, because he felt so confident that crappy controls alone were enough to justify the score. You want us to have a second opinion on the site? Oh, no, because you've already predicted it would be the same thing all over. I see, you've figured us out. Yup, we all conspire when we write reviews. In fact, I'm just one of Jonny's alternate personalities. Didn't you know that?

First of all, Cap, nothing good is going to come of this line of action. Jonny is just defending one of his own from flak about one of their less popular opinions, something I've done for you on a quite a few occasions, like your Halo review.

That said, if Stan just explained WHY he didn't like the game, like citing examples of where the controls didn't work for him and how he would choose to improve upon the game, I wouldn't say boo to the review. I'd still consider it harsher than it should be, but all things considered, I'm still willing to believe that someone could form the opinions contained within if they're well-enforced with reason and logic.

Even if I don't agree with the conclusions, I could still see how he came to them and I'm sure the review would have drawn much less flak.

When I gave WoW a 3/10 in my review, I made damn certain to explain calmly and carefully why I felt it deserved that score and how I came to the conclusion I did. I still took heat for it, sure, but if someone wanted to argue it, they had to argue against my points rather than my opinions.

Who would have thunk everything would be coming to a crashing stop over a game that has got mixed reviews at best, that is about GOLF!

Hey. Can I lock this thread? I could lock this thread. Should I lock this thread?

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #108 on:** April 11, 2007, 02:58:52 PM »

Let me get the last word in, then you can lock the thread.

"Last word"

I don't think there's any reason to lock it. The only person who's getting really irate is Cap, and I don't think people are taking him too seriously at the moment.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #110 on:** April 11, 2007, 03:00:21 PM »

Viewtiful you were supposed to say it is ok and let me get the last word in, because I have NEVER been able to do that in a thread. Now I'm really upset at NWR and refuse to take anything you guys say seriously, NEVER.

Really? I don't think sarcasm is against the rules. But personal attacks are, and I've seen some hurled at Stan and me in here.

HOw DARE you, everyone knows Elebits is the second coming of gaming's golden age, they just don't want to admit it openly.

I'll have to back up Jonny and Stan here, there have been some blatant attacks to their integrity. Like I said before, isn't this kind of silly since it is over an oddball anime golf game that most people won't even play? Why exactly is this particular review so offensive taking that into account? Heck I wouldn't even consider a negative review for Mario Golf grounds to throw insults, and questioning someone's integrity, it seems silly. Fine I can understand people getting upset if a game has been overwhelmingly praised, and there is a negative review (not even that is grounds to throw out the insults I've been reading here), but a game that hasn't been getting all that hot reviews in the first place? I'm not quite understanding why, exactly, this particular game is such a big deal.

For the same reason Nintendo fans tend to raise up arms when Nintendo is attacked--they love defending what they love.

TYP is quickly becoming my favorite member of the staff.... although Evan still gets major points for his love of Kurosawa.

Anyway, to agree with S_B, and his well constructed rebuttal, I think the reason why people are getting so worked up over the review is the tone of voice. As a reviewer, although of films, I will attest that it's fun to write these types of reviews, but there is a time and a place. The game has to reach the lower "tier" of the scale enough for that to work, and going by the general reaction here I would say this game didn't quite fit the bill.

Kairon · « **Reply #118 on:** April 11, 2007, 03:46:35 PM »

Because of everything in Smash_Bros.' post.

I'm not here because of the score. I'm here personally because the reviewer thought that Scout was the only protagonist... when 1 minute into playing the game you can CLEARLY choose an alternate protagonist: Hanna.

I didn't know Evan loved Kurosawa! I didn't know YOU loved Kurosawa! I love Kurosawa! He's my favorite director.

Well, I just meant that NWR is producing more reviews and editorials that are irksome to Nintendophiles than ign is these days. Ign took a lot of heat in the Nintendo community for not "getting" beloved games like Mario Kart: Double Dash back in the day, but ign's infractions seem minor in comparison to NWR's recent treacherous evildoing.

IGN's DD review is why I trust them so much, I couldn't have agreed more with their review of it and wish I would have listened.
