Originally posted by QuestionableI've never heard of LoD and I've never heard of Asp outside of his article about DF. He is not a credible part of the media, he does not work for a gaming magazine, he does not work for gaming telivision, he does not work for a gaming website. All he is is the leader of a guild that SOME people have heard of is some OTHER games that are not DF. I don't trust his word, especially since his article came with 0 in game screen shots. You cannot change my opinion, and I'm sure you can't change Zorvan's. Just because you've somehow heard of LoD, and trust them does not mean the rest of us have to. Also, you will NEVER make me listen to you by insulting everything I say and condescending to me in every stupid topic here...all that does is make me ignore your posts when I see your name. |

Originally posted by BurnthebedHe's actually not the leader but just a long time member. Also, your so called credible sources that belong to media/gaming magazines/gaming tv/gaming sites are no more credible in my eyes. Those services are run by money. Money comes from advertisements and sponsors. The people buying the advertisements are the companies that are making the games which the service reports on. There is a direct conflict of interest here. The gamespot incident shed some major light on this. Also, how many of these gave Hellgate London favorable reviews when in reality that game was just plain horrible. I'm sure the fact that the sites were plastered with advertisements of the game had nothing to do with it. |

Originally posted by krackajap Also those people cant make barefaced lies as there are laws covering such conduct. Point is that Asp isant covered by those laws as he is [assuming he is real] not a real credible reporter. |

Originally posted by HYPERI0N Keep believing that if you want to. If you don't believe that the companies that pay the bills for those sites and stuff don't have any influence on what is said about their games i don't know what to say. I'm sure that Gamespot reviewer that got fired over the Kane and Lynch review would like that to be true also. |

First, you discredit yourself by mentioning that someone got fired. If everything is SOOO corrupt, and there are NO credible sources...then no one would have ever encountered this kind of backlash. The fact is, some people ARE dirty...but the existence of dirty people does not somehow magically UNMAKE the existence of clean ones too. Take off the tin foil hat. Second, credible media is not limited to reviewers and magazines. As has been mentioned a THOUSAND freaking times now, there are a plethora of major accepted conventions that these guys go to for no other reason than to showcase things and stir up the media. These conventions aren't paid for by advertisers trying to shop a positive vote. In fact, the industry regards these conventions highly, and uses them as another way to research the market and analyze whats going on inside it. Asp is NOT one of those industry leaders,. Aventurine is about 3 years past time to drop a build of the game into a convention. |
