[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4248862, member: 22779"] To be fair though, it also depends on the intellectual honesty of the reviewer as well. We've seen a number of reviews starting from very, very hostile positions, which is going to skew the review heavily as well. I've seen more than a few "reviews" start with, "I hate 4e, I'm going to stick with 3.x/Pathfinder/whatever but, I bought this 4e product and now I'm going to spew vitriol all over it." Less common have been reviews starting with, "I love the idea of 4e, I'm going to change to 4e no matter what, now, listen as I sing the praises of the new edition." I'm sure they're there, they just haven't really stuck out as much in my mind as the former kind of review. Whether the preview is good or not, depends on a lot of things. Claiming, at this point, that the preview is a failure is somewhat premature. If nothing else, the level of buzz it generated makes it a success. How many modules can you think of that have every board dedicated to D&D talking about it? [/QUOTE]
