Topic: Reviews in Talkback

[Hostile Creation]

Whenever reviews of games I'm interested in are in the news on the main page at PGC, I want to not only discuss the game, but what the review thought of it.  Now, I could easily make a thread in the Gamecube forum or whatever, but I notice that some games have threads in talkback while others do not.  For example, Kim Possible has a talkback thread while the Fire Emblem import review has been overlooked.  I've noticed this with several other reviews in the past as well.
So mostly I suppose I'm curious.  What's the deal?  Why are some reviews posted in talkback and others not?  Does the reviewer decide whether or not they want feedback, is it only done for localized games?  I'd like it if all reviews posted on PGC were up for discussion, personally.  For now, though, I'm just curious as to what the deciding factor is.

They're not posted automatically so it's probably down to whether the reviewer is lazy or remembers whether to post a talkback thread.

KDR pretty much nailed it. Some of us are either busy at the time of posting or are just feeling a little lazy. If there's a specific review that you want a Talkback thread on, feel free to send a message to a moderator and we'll get right on that. Since you mentioned it, I'll make a thread for Fire Emblem.

Awesome, thanks.  I figured that was the case, but I wanted to be clear on it.

Well, it's not so much laziness; it's just not a standard practice.  Those of us who are interested in seeing feedback for an article will post a talkback, and others might not care or consider it.

I'll do it for all of my reviews from now on because of this thread

I'll do it, too, but I just didn't figure a talkback thread about Tiger Woods would be incredibly popular.

I really should start to do this more often.  It takes about two minutes and is worth it for some games.

What?  There's a sports editor here?

[Karl Castaneda #2]

Stan's been with us for a couple months now (maybe more?).  

[UncleBob]

That was a joke... Perhaps I should have put a winking smiley there.

[Karl Castaneda #2]

Your wit is astounding.

[Pryopizm]

Am cry  

[UncleBob]

Sorry.  Perhaps you should do reviews of the Mario Sports series or something.

[Pryopizm]

But I did!  So what if it was on GBA!!  Exclamation point!  Actually most of my reviews have had nothing to do with sports.  That's just how versatile I am!!!

[UncleBob]

Wait... What?  There's a sports editor here?

From now on, I promise to read all of Pryopizm's posted reviews!
