[QUOTE="Dannager, post: 5709025, member: 73683"] Which is my point: if the way a reviewer writes causes half his readership to not continue reading his reviews, the reviewer is doing something wrong. It doesn't matter. He could call the grass green and an apple red, but if I want to know the color of a ripe banana, none of that helps me. And we're saying, pretty resoundingly: it's not. But that doesn't tell you whether the game is good or not. All it tells you is what you already knew: a D&D Facebook game probably isn't your thing. Or if you're looking for an enjoyable gameplay experience, period. Look, Hussar, there's sort of an established set of criteria for determining the quality of a video game. Review websites have this down to a science. And they sure as hell take more into account than how the video game compared to some other not-a-video-game from the same multimedia franchise. That's what we expect. An actual review. Not a side-by-side of a Facebook video game versus a tabletop roleplaying game. That's just a joke. I'd much prefer it if the official EN World reviews were something that I could read and say, "Hey, I'm glad I read that!" [/QUOTE]
