Actually the review is from GamesMaster. But yeah, that's pretty much what's happening with them, and OPM.
Romagnoli,
You've quoted the post above which I understand triggered your "sensitivity". Although I do not know what wrong he's said. We've been saying similar things for years now and I don't remember anyone getting quite defensive as you did.
Would you lot be saying the same if it was PES? That Gamesmaster don't like the game but are being paid to give it 94%?
Yes, of course we would. Since when do we trust mag scores anyway? The 2008 score was a joke, remember?
This is the really tiresome part of this side of the forums. There's this pack mentality where one mention of the other game leads to everyone trolling FIFA in here, getting the hahaha's and the 'they were paid to like FIFA' rubbish
I don't appreciate what you said there. That's just not right. Both Fifa and PES get the same love and hate in both forums. And there's hardly any trolling with the "hahaha", who was laughing at the score because to us evo-webbers it is laughable really, and the 'they were paid to like FIFA', which is true about certain mags and gamesites.
or randomly guessing that everything that was wrong in the beta will probably/definitely be fixed for the final game
Its not random when Jon Murphy, who works for Konami, tells us. Unless you're saying he's randomly guessing and passing that onto us..
or that anything we don't know will end up turning out in the positive rather than being realistic.
We can only believe what he Murphy tells us. If he says things are being worked on and fixed then we can only hope he's right and stay positive about it. Don't see where the problem is here?
Ironically the FIFA section of these forums is far more grown up.
Where are you when the so called "far grown up" ones come into the PES thread only to post jibberish and wind people up? Some even on a mission to forcefully convince us how Great Fifa is. Both have their fair share of grown ups and the other kind.
but why are FIFA scores getting posted in here and why are people carrying on about it?
Scores of both games were always posted in here. Not sure what you're on about.
You're taking this a bit too serious, mate.
If you're confident that PES is back this year then why do you need to link to and act like dicks about a game that to you doesnt make a blind bit of difference?
I don't see where anyone here acted like a ****. They're just surprised by that score like most of us are. Or is it because it's being done in the PES thread?
Bottom line, it probably is a low to mid 90's game for journalists who just review games rather then get properly passionate and geeky about football games.
You should've posted this part only and none of the over-reacting before it.
Anyway, you barged in here being over-sensitive, and over-reacting about something that most of us agree on, that gaming journos are not ones to be blindly believed. No one trolled. If they did, their posts would've been deleted and they would've been warned. You talk about how PES is praised and untouchable, now that's rubbish and you know it. The last 2-3 years the PES threads were a place if one dared to say anything positive about the game the bullies would crusade in lecturing and trolling making sure PES-fans get turned off and think twice about posting anything positive again.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with posting about the rival game in either threads every now and then as long as it's civilized. A little harmless banter and sarcasm here and there shouldn't be a problem.
Please, try not to over-react next time. And this goes to everyone as well.
Thanks.
You know, one of those mirrors with the demo...
