This guy is a notoriously hard reviewer but he really panned MTW. Try here (http://www.counterglow.net/article.php?id=mtw)

what kind of games does this guy like? i get the impression he likes no brain shooters exclusively (that and cheap whores). He's completely missed the point and seemingly just because his tiny diseased brain can't understand something its bad. What a f**king W**nker he really should stick to the day job (cleaning toilets or something probs.)
[qoute]Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... Hmmmmmmmmmm... Hmmmmmmmm... Hear that sound? That’s the sound of this game sucking dick. And much like that time I was drunk on the beach a few years ago with a soon to be ex-girlfriend, I fell asleep this time too. Unfortunately this bitch of a game was not gone when I woke up.[/quote]

Yes, with two hooker references, STDs and blow jobs all mentioned in the first paragraph, this guy looks to be really on the ball. *rimshot* Didn't bother to read the rest, cause I know it's a great game.

yup i think we should all register and get medieval on his ass.
This "gentlemen" seems to be very "full of himself". What legitmate game reviewer would use such crude terms? I think this is some private bozo that likes to hear himself talk. While some of the things he says have a level of validity he fails to even mention the CTD issues and other serious glitches that prevent a player from completing a campaign. These are far more serious issues to the gaming public. He obviously did not play the game in any depth. I get the feeling he would play a US Civil war game and complain he was getting tired of blue and gray and wished there was more variety of color to choose from. He "smells" like a "fantasy type" to me who goes nuts for Orcs and Trolls, BFD!
the server is too busy, can't post my answer to him...
I guess we're all trying to do it at the same time http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

I am having trouble registering at the moment too. It seems like there is something chewing the cycles at the moment. Hope it's not us. I think I am probably going to try again in the morning (less Yanks around http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif).
(Incidentally, I never seemed to get a CTD problem)
aahhh
I CAN'T TAKE IT!!! I NEED TO POST MY ANSWER!!!!
ok, I'll do it here to relax until the server is up again
Venom, as you admitted, you obviously don't jerk off enough.
I bet your ex is still firmly attached to your dick and has been pumping you for 5 years straight now to no effect, except maybe this horrible pain in your testicles, this horrible pain that eats away your brain.
Were there a bit of it remaining, you'd acknowledge the interest of MTW, as a large number of people have. It's about history (the classes you masturbated through) and strategy (no, not 'Super surfing madness' on PS2, Venom). Ejaculate, man, it will do you a world of good. She needs the ego boost too, poor thing.
ah well, it's on line now, but it's the unedited version of my answer, crap...

i don't see how this thread can last much longer.
this reviewer reminds me of mrcranky, who does movie reviews and never has a nice thing to say.
however, i lmao, but it is still a good game. i don't think responding to him is going to change his mind...

of course not, mind you nobody cares about his opinion. But it's a cold, boring day in Paris...
So I didn't like the damn game. Fuck off. I'm still entitled to my opinion. And you tools won't change my mind. It's boring as shit. Civ II and SMAC are more exciting than that. So is PTO II.
You like the game. That's fine. I like porn and women. You fag's obviously don't.
And fuck you RC, you server crashing bastard!

Good to see you here, in a twisted way.
Your constant references to gays tell us a lot about your deepest fears/desires, my Barbara Streisand loving friend. Apparently, it’s only painful the first couple of days, later on you’ll be able to walk again. But you already know about that, of course.

You got quote over at their board.
Seeing how many different people post there I guess we shouldn't really bother with it.
We are talking minority beyond the words meaning.
------------------
BTW, Danish Crusades are true to history.
You may not care about war, but war cares about you!
And this board is massive?
Anyway. I stand by the review. I didn't write it to make a few geeks upset about the fact they're wasting their time on a lame game. Like the game all you want. That's cool.
But if your going to try and act enlightened and then come and lamely flame someone you just look like an idiotic hypocrit.
I just gonna tell you suck as a rewiver. You rewiv the game you know not giving it minus for that its historically or something.
Proffsenials like pcgamer gave this game 95%
Sorry my english. Im swedish you know

Actually, my definition of hypocrisy is a guy producing a review on an historical game by devoting 50% of his text to a botched blow job he got, and then acting surprised when he gets flamed.
But I did laugh too. Still, I'm not very smart.
[This message has been edited by maroule (edited 10-22-2002).]
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Im still laughing about that review.
That guy is hilarious.
I like the game but I agree with many of his points, you have to admit that the game could of been better. In many aspects.
How many people hit that site in a day? How many people actually read that guy's articles? He's entitled to his own opinion but that had to be one of the most immature, bourgeois rebel-without-a-clue, pubescent rant reviews I've ever had the displeasure of reading.
His article reminds me of some of the op-ed columns in the New York Times!
Ahh! My 100th post!
Read the other ones. They're worse.
And please. Insult me in Swedish if it means you'll make sense. I won't know what it means but at least it won't look like that.
50%? You're not a math major are you? I'm guessing history, right? If your going to spout facts, spout them correctly. It was more like 20%.
And finally...how many people hit this piece of shit site in the first place? I don't care how many people read my review? Am I a professional reviewer? Fuck no. I had to buy that piece of shit game.

Where the heck is the Moderator when you need him????
This is TOTALLY off topic! For the folks just finding the .org, this isn't what we do here. Did you guys read this thread?
http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/Forum7/HTML/002993.html
Why do you keep talking to this idiot? And now you have him posting in the
Dojo/Guild. Why have his presence defile this place?
The guy's suckering you all. He's writing simply to entertain his audience. He'll keep this thread going for as long as you let em. Why? Cause it drives "hits" to his review and its site. If he's getting paid, that's what he's paid for. If he's not being paid, then this is how he hopes to convice the site's owners to pay him. Sooo, he you don't like em why help him?
Good opportunity for some of y'all to learn, that for his type, Silence is Often The Best Weapon.
Irregardless of his "opinion", do you really consider his article to be a "review"? As such, its a JOKE!
As "entertainment", for those whose minds appreciate it, I guess its entertaining enough, but, gosh, can people's minds be so dull?
Come on, anyone who could allow his mindless dribble to influence their purchase decision really isn't the sort we'd want in the "community" anyway.
Wake Up, Grow Up.
Hey Momm, is the .com site up YETTTTT????

LOL
Wish I knew you a week ago I coulda got it to ya for free.
If you act quick you might be able to get 20 bucks for it on ebay...
But last I checked there was about 2000 people selling it, fooled like you were into buying it after reading the bullshit reviews so many people gave.

PCGamer? They may be 'professionals', but do you know game magazines keep their sales high? By getting exclusive reviews for top games. How do they get these exclusives? By guaranteeing a certain score to the publisher.
I stopped buying print magazines after the fiasco that was Black & White..
Amateur gaming reviews are the future.
Although this review is hardly targeted at this site. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
So, do you know any good amature review sites?
Black and White was cool in the beginning, but after a while, I was constantly micromanaging every little detail to the point where It was Hell to keep up with everything... that kind of sounds familiar.

Actually, PC Gamer gave it an 82%. Kinda low in my opinion, but still rated a good game by them. Certainly a step forward for the "genre."

Yet another reviewer who doesn't play a game long enough to get a feel for it. Oh yea, C beats B beats A is how this games go.....if you're one of the stupid idiots who puts all his guys in wedge and charges. On defense. When he is one a hill.
It also seems like this is less a review site, and more a place where the reviewer can tell everyone how much head he gets.
I can tell by Venom's copious amounts of profanity that he really knows what he is talking about. Yep, anybody who peppers his vocabulary like that to make a point sure is a real wordsmith if ya ask me.
I bet he got the best grade in composition, beating out everybody else on the short bus.

WOW!
Look at this ... I think this is funny ... Some dude trashes a game on his site and the loyalists rebel ... i bet more people have hit his site today because of that one review then he gets in a typical month ... did that make sense?
Oh and I love the one terd who comes in to tell everyone why they are here and what goes on and blah blah blah (did I cross a line here?)

That guy must be a lazy ass like my friend who only likes to go in a room guns blazing people getting blown up everywhere...
well i like those games but nothing can match up to MTW but i cant wait to play GTA Vice City. Still goin to play this game alot!
I dont really care if he liked the game or not, but his pseudo - something-awful style of writing is just lame. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it is a bad imitation...
Venom, if you read this, less is more. You are over-doing the off-topic crap in your reviews. They arent really funny. Try to take it down a notch and it might be more amusing.
Hope you can take criticism as well.

Pretty harsh review and a weak attempt at humour Venom but I agree with some of what you mentioned.

true, a dignified silence will do, and this thread should be closed/deleted.

Look, the bottom line is this: He wrote a review which was sparse on details/evidence, abrasive and designed to get attention, as opposed to presenting a detailed and comprehensive review. He has no idea about the mechanics of the AI and his "why did that happen?!" response is common, as he assumes its just buggy. While lots of things are in fact buggy, alot of things were intended by the developers. It wasnt his cup of tea and he chose a very immature way of expressing it.
*therefore*
Whining about it here, or there will accomplish nothing. Furthermore, whining about it there makes the MTW community look like a community of overzealous fanboys. Even if by some off chance someone went over to the other boards and presented a coherent response, its obvious from what I've read in that thread that no one is going to change their mind, nor should they be expected to. Opinion is almost never subject to logic or common sense. You have no weapon against opinion. Furthermore, you have no means of deflating his ego or making him feel bad. You are powerless and should therefore retain the previously mentioned "dignified silence".
I mean, realistically, if you wanted to really hurt the guy just stab him in the neck with a stilleto knife and be done with it. An ego is simply impenitrable.
*I do not in any way endorse or encourage stabbing people with stilleto knives--not so sure about the historical Machiavelli though*

Im talking about the swedish pcgamer and they dont do things like that. They have written on their forums about this thing and told that they dont give in for such crap but they admit that the english pcgamer is doing things like that. The swedish gave it 94% I think and have talked to the reviwer and he is cool guy I dont think he lies about games in that way. He likes strategy games and history so thats probaly why he gave it high rates. And because its a great game.
Hi,
I'm just sorry my curiousity impelled me to click on the link and read it. The neurons retaining any memory of that "review" shall be purged.
