may I respectfully suggest that you stop telling other people how to think and what to believe. There are issues with Bigant as there are with every games developer and pretending otherwise is not going to convince everybody of how great this game is.
Is there anything wrong with fair comment?
No, there is nothing wrong with fair comment. That's the problem; some of your comments just aren't fair. My aim isn't to tell you what to think or believe. I am not one of those "BA and DBC14 is the best ever" people but I do think Ross has handled this forum with complete honesty, and hence he has earned my trust.
I think you are being a bit harsh on BA games there. I often disregard critic reviews as I find they can be pretty wrong. I haven't played Pirate Blast (and never plan to), however I have played AFL Live and thought it was a decent fist at a first game for a complex sport. Gameplay was good, and the building blocks were there for a long and successful franchise. Too bad Tru Blu changed developers for AFL Live 2 and screwed that one up. I have also played RLL2 and have found that to be a very good complete game. Gameplay is good, commentary is exceptional, likenesses are pretty good and career mode is nice. So personally I have found BA Studio's previous sports games enjoyable.
How much evidence would you need to persuade you that Bigant's games are usually mediocre? And given that, is your massive enthusiasm and that of a very small number of others on this forum actually justified?
My enthusiasm for this game is not dumbfounded. I'm excited for the game because in general it's cricket game, the videos we have been shown look promising, the CA has super depth and I am looking forward to all the features. Is there a problem with being enthusiastic about a game? I'm not one of those people with a super high expectation. I'm just expecting a cricket game that's playable, and we don't get them too often. I know for a fact that many of the forum members on here are on the same boat. You are in fact in the minority.
This forum is not owned or run by Ross and I suggest you have a close look at some of his responses to understand how biased you are being. He is frequently highly offensive towards people who even mildly question him.
I am simply explaining my point of view and providing some links to information that may be of interest to forum members.
My issue isn't with your point of view, but how you have expressed it. You can't really comment on Ross when you handle yourself worse. Ross only becomes aggressive when people shit-stir and make shit up. At times, you have done this and thus Ross has treated you poorly only because you have treated him worse.
Calling me a "dick" and a "troll" is not exactly an example of being "decent".
You have quoted me out of context there. I said you were "coming across" as a dick, at no stage did I call you one. My first post directed at you I was tired and was therefore a bit aggressive. I apologise, however if that's how you treat other forum posters they're gonna chuck the same right back at you.
I have jumped around a bit there, but I hope ultimately you get my point. You can keep doing what you're doing and how you are doing it now or you can change your approach. Otherwise we will continue to hound on you and you will get nowhere. Have a good one
EDIT: Ah well, thefonz is gone now anyway. Guess this post will fall on deaf ears.
