lol, gave me a chuckle but reinforced the idea that escapist is unprofessional and a bit stoopid
not necessarily a bad thing, i still watch all the stuff you put on here
I'm curious, what exactly gives you the idea the Escapist is unprofessional?
Its mostly the 'review suppliments'. Sometimes I find that your staff try to be witty and funny in the wrong way, and it comes off a little...erm...i dont want to say pathetic because i dont think these people are that...i cannot think of the right word atm
see the dragon age review...great review untill he decides to add in that bit on the end (with the strange voice), it caused me to just disregard anything that he had to say before because i didnt think he was taking reviewing the game very seriously. Also see the fable review, that was just toecurlingly cringing
One exception to this is John Funk, his reviews are concise and informative, and I feel confident basing a buying decision on what he has to say, I like his style, I feel he knows what he is talking about
Once again, humour not a bad thing, I hardly ever make buying decisions on ZP, but I watch the video's because they are very well made and genuinely funny
also ENN is superb
Someone once told me they are review SUPPLIMENTS, i.e. its supposed to be extra information on top of the 'proper' written review, which was a fair point, and put me in my place. but I think it should be the other way around, I think text should become the suppliments, afterall, you can listen to what the reviewer has to say in vids, and see ingame action aswell
i guess each to their own...yadda yaddda
I hope you find my feedback useful
