State of the Game

Yep.


"A 2011 study published in the Journal of Agricultural Education showed that 72 percent of children living in urban California don’t know that cheese is made from cow’s milk."

"According to the survey, 7 percent of Americans think chocolate milk comes from brown cows while 48 percent were unaware of how it is made"

etc
Because it's true. The same as Milka cows are actually purple/white.
 
You don't really get to write articles after the event unless you are a games reviewer for a magazine etc...

This is one of the stupidest statements I've read. So what you are saying is, that only "professionals" are allowed to voice their opinions after the fact whereas consumers should just keep their mouths shut?
 
(Careful. Stroboscope stuff and flashes might trigger epilepsy. NO JOKE.)
Also: video by David Lynch.


'Video by David Lynch' should be bigger warning than epilepsy. A fan personally though

I think it's more of a case that if you know/suspect that something is going to be poop, and STILL decide to pay for it, well, you can voice your opinion all you want, but what sticks if that it was still good enough for you to pay for it. And as a consumer, you have many, many ways to assess product quality ahead of purchase.

By comparison, professional reviewers have to buy the product in order to review it so you don't have to.
 
Seriously, I love you all. :D

(Well, he is not really my type, even gender is not really fitting, but...
mouth are mouth, I can work this around by closing my eyes and using imagination.)


So, you know, this is something really serious you just said.
Before I decide to reciprocate this emotions, I have to be sure you are for real.
There is a way to abuse prove such love confessions.

So, I think it's enough talk, time for some action...

Professionals don't really buy their games, they usually get review copies. Consumers buy games, at times in good trust. Think of Cyberpunk and its glowing reviews and what happened when the players finally got the game. They did, after all, buy the game in good trust because of the studio involved and the reviews. The same can be said of Odyssey with FD telling us, that they had a development version where all was working fine but in the end, the truth was very different. With this FD has shown they are not a company to be trusted.

To say anything else is to shift the blame to the consumer. It's not the developer's fault, it's yours for buying it.

You are dangerously veering on topic. Please stay away. You have been warned. :)

Quite the contrary. But if you wish to claim the moral high ground, you are on shaky ground.
 
Phew... I've arrived at last!! *rubs bump on head

@tomimt and @Fishy : You both are to sit on the naughty step and not touch the radio dial again... There was far too much off-topic material in those last few pages!!

@Susanna and @ULITE : You both should be ashamed of yourselves for getting involved with the other two... You're both grounded and I won't allow you to go out and play again for a week. Now sit down and think about what you've done!

And now for something completely different:

Anyone "patient enough" could have waited 24-48h (THE HORROR! THE HORROR!) and known what Cyberpunk was like. As for the "secret build" theory, well if people still fall for that one in 2021, well, more popcorn for me.

There's blame on both ends. Fool me once, fool me twice, that kind of thing.

Except that with gamers, it's more like "fool me for the 9874232314th time and I'll write an Open Letter".

You mistake love for something else.
