So when did the people notice that this is going to be an ugly mess?

Not to be a whiny bitch, but would you mind not providing a complete cut-'n'-pasted text block of the review? Those links ain't gonna click themselves. 
GFW should bring Roper back on the brodeo for an afterthoughts session. Flagship must've been forced to rush this game for the holidays. They knew the type of reception their game would get in it's current form. What puzzles me is that in all the interviews and podcasts the developers never expressed the desire to delay the game. I feel like Flagship let their game launch with out a parachute.

(I never bother usually, even if it's only a couple of lines of quoted text. :lol )

Since you are posting in this thread and i am one of the lazier listeners, a shout of love for your podcast.
I cannot believe that they have the guts to charge $10 a month for this game. I'm not that big of a PC gamer anymore but after listening to the GFW podcast this week, I thought that the monthly subscription fee only gave players special items and "recipes."
Madness, this is. They should have just not released it.

I wish console reviewers used the full score scale along with PC reviewers.

I usually just post snippets but since this review was more of a narrative I thought it would be cruel to cut it short.
Alas if you would rather resort to cruelty then so be it.
Critical reception is pretty cold across the board. Such potential in the game too.
The only site I've seen that really loves this game is videogameshow.org. They've pretty much talked nonstop about the game on their podcast since they heard it was sort of a new diablo. It's also the reason I stopped listening. Too bad too, because it was a great podcast once. But when the people on a podcast can't talk about any other games because they play nothing but a mediocre pseudo-MMO, it's time to get out.
Tangent.

I'm sorry but aren't there better games that have developers who can come on the podcast to promote and talk about things instead of giving Roper yet another chance to promote a game that in your site's opinion, isn't even decent? Your mag is about GAMES, right? Why not give the great games a bigger voice instead of giving so much attention to the bad ones?

Good Shit Tom.
IMO that is the score it should have gotten from every other review site as well.

Damn. It totally deserves it though. And really it's not like the game can just get patched, because there are so many things that just need to be redone from the ground up for the game to be a memorable and interesting experience. I think patches might bring it up from bad to above average or even good, but it will never, ever be the excellent title it was trying to sell itself as.
Last I checked, the 1Up crew will take just about anyone if they're interested (not saying they're whores or anything ...).Kittonwy said:I'm sorry but aren't there better games that have developers who can come on the podcast to promote and talk about things instead of giving Roper yet another chance to promote a game that in your site's opinion, isn't even decent?
