I didn't realise that there was text in the magazine, i thought it was just pictures of fake tits from cover to cover Which makes this story all the more hilarious.digotw said:I don't really understand how the editor can get all morally-high-groundish since Zoo is the flat out worst magazine in Australia, i wouldn't read that fucking crappy dog-shit magazine if my life depended on it.
Agreed. If they think it's such a huge achievement then they really shouldn't need to pressure reviewers into giving good reviews. There wasn't that much pressure here, but it was definitely a reminder.TheDoctor455 said:Umm...
Rockstar, if you are so insecure about your game, then maybe it really isn't as good as you think it is.
Oh it does sound, it does. If the article needs to reflect the game is a big achievement and nominated for Game of the year 2010 it means, obviously needs to be a positive review. You dont need to threat with a "Just give 5 stars rate, will you?! Or else!".Baby Tea said:Is it just me, or does that not sound like a forced positive review request?This is the biggest game we've done since GTA IV, and is already receiving Game of the Year 2010 nominations from specialists all around the world. Can you please ensure Toby's article reflects this - he needs to respect the huge achievement he's writing about here.
I obviously haven't read the whole email, but this little snippet seems less like a 'make sure this is reviewed positively' and more like a 'make sure this guy knows that this game is a big deal'. That doesn't seem shady to me, that seems like they want the guy to know that this game is a big up-and-comer in the market that a lot of people (Myself included) are looking forward to, and they he should really give this game it's due when reviewing it (By going into detail and not skimping out).
With the information given, I really don't have much sympathy for the guy.
Yes they are, probably young, male and easily impressed.Spinozaad said:I hardly doubt that the people reading a tit magazine are part of Rockstar's core demographic
