Yuck. It's sad to know that kind of toxic element exists in the Elite community. Ironically, some of the people who think they're 'defending' the game, are actually doing more harm than good. The rest of course are just straight-up unpleasant... It seems like the 'Games should make you cry' brigade were the worst of the lot in that thread, as I've occasionally also noticed on these forums.

My reading reddit just now was a low-point for the week. * Wrong and disgraceful.
Some people have no social grace.
* Actually, it wasn't, come to think of it. Reading about Gaza, Syria, Ebola in West Africa was my low-point for the week. I need to use hyperbole a million billion times less.

By the way, my previous post wasn't meant to condemn everyone on Reddit, as it may have appeared. Just the unpleasant minority. On the whole, the /elitedangerous sub-community seems fine.
There was also the Sticktwiddlers incident, which was so overblown it ended up with a grilling on Lave Radio...

Well it's a bit "hey kids" for my liking but this is actually quite well researched

Pretty good (the E
part of the review). The SC review is a bit in-factual - SC isn't in Beta at the moment 
A nice run down.
Subreddit just needs more mod action. Overall case has been very unpleasant, but we can learn from this experience and try to be vigilant against such behavior.
Good one, really good.
More from Good-Game......
Now Good-Game have officially reviewed both this game and Star-Citzen.
Forth-One-Down-Here!!!!
Unfortunately, despite their initial impression, they were not too impressed with the space combat portion of ED so far.
BTW...I can't find where I posted the original Good-Game video I put up on this forum somewhere not long ago.
Was it erased?
Can anybody find it.

How do you review unfinished games? Utter nonsense, a casual tv show to boot.
This^^
I don't understand their take on the combat, it's great, and defiantly NOT slow and boring. COD kiddie mentality I guess.
Dunno, seemed fair enough
"scourge mcduck levels of funding" did crack me up.
The comments about the combat feeling slow compared to StarC and not punchy enough seem to just speak to the different styles of play.
ED is not arcade and 'punchy' with head shots and fast turreting.
ED is steady and intense.
It's "Das Boot" vs "Pearl Harbour".

Appreciate it, man. I know it's certainly only a few people that were really that negative towards my article and my website in general. I think the community seems pretty great. Absolutely amazing to see the type of enthusiasm and excitement you guys have for the game.
It definitely looks fantastic, but my first impression was questioning how Frontier could expand and grow their fan-base. But the general consensus on reddit seemed to be that there was no desire for it to grow to "Console 'Tards" and "people of [my] ilk." I was really surprised to see how much support someone who referred to people as based on the platform they play video games on got.
As I've looked through this forum, I definitely think those few redditors seems to be more of an outlier of the core community and most of you seem like stand-up guys.
Anyway, the article is available again for anyone to view. Appreciate the understanding a lot of you showed here on this forum.

Thanks, dude. Been reading a lot about Elite. The history regarding this game is extensive. I'm excited to review it in the future.
