Gamespot Top 10

[JastaV]

Guess the topic here was a bit different!
Gamespot Top 10 : Just in case nobody has noticed, made WWI into the top ten PC games at Gamespot.

I was looking to Gamespot as a serious reviewing subject.
Do I need start thinking it's not?[:-]

Games are to be reviewed over critic, standard parameters, especially in matter of official reviewing.
Games are to be judged over the way they run and look at the reviewing time, not over a long term improvements perspective.
Notice I have many games in my collection never improved of fixed to a decent level.

Players have chance to post own reviews, (at Gamespot site, too): most of time they reflect player's attitude for a game.
I had chance to read many negative consumer-reviews, just because players were wrong in the game choice: if you dislike sport at all you should not by a sport-action game!
In matter of AGEod WWI the thing is remarkably different: even liking the kind of game and the subjects buyers cannot enjoy it because of game proven deficiencies.[:@]

Now, when Gamespot put Ageod WWI in the Top 10 games the program was bugged, instable, unfinished, with no game-manual assisting player in the mess of complex rules.
I'm really disappointed with Gamespot WWI review in so far it's customers deceiving. Notice AGEod took advantage from the fact, quoting the very positive review at its forum pages too.[&o]

JastaV, you are bordering the pathetic here, really. [;)]

All this WW1 on the Gamespot Top 10 thing is just an ironic joke about the game botched release. [:'(]

I will really appreciate if you could please post a link of that non existing Gamespot review you talk about like if you had read it... and specially about that forum post on which "AGEod took advantage from the fact, quoting the very positive review at its forum pages too." [:-]

I can forgive you don't get the joke, but the part about AGEOD quoting is just a PURE AND SIMPLE LIE [:-]

Nobody on AGEOD has so much imagination as to quote imaginary reviews [:D]

All that Gamespot has ever published about the AGEOD WW1 game is here
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/wor ... index.html

You have some screens and... hey, look! one user review who by coincidence is... you! [:D]
At least you give the game a 1 and not 0 [:'(]

If you want to keep you childish and revengeful smearing campaing against AGEOD with any credibility, please check you sources first and stop embarrassing yourself[;)]

It seems recently he felt his modding efforts were not supported and encouraged enough by AGEOD [&:] and from day to night he has turned in number one AGEOD's hater.
This may explain to you the reasons behinds some of his ramblings. [:)]

Thanks for the link: You will notice in Critic Scores 1 review figures out.
It's no more accessible!
Possibly removed?[X(]

Just to make things clear, it's better to point out the 3rd party nature on my mods: no AGEod officialized.
Beeing you then part for long time of same Modding Team, you well know the missed officialization of my works was not the reason why things gone "wrong" with AGEod.
Others as Clovis underlined wrongly that point!

You also well know censorship and dictatorship mesures ruling AGEod forum life: unfortunately those measures worsened and poisoned our constructive friendship too. Hope you will not negate the point.

I apreciate very much your words here: without irony!
I apreciate even more the fact you are signing your words!
You know the practice of anonymous deletion and boycott at AGEod was one of the reasons that lead me to leave.
It could have been very easy for me, to come here posting with a different nikname, but JastaV.
I didn't.

BTW, I please you to carry hone, (AGEod) my greatest thanks to all ones going on with old practice of canning offensive message in my box!

Finally, You pointed out my competence in matter of modding and editing. Others did that same publicly.
I assume that same competence gives me chance to evidence out all troubles, most of time unsolved, affecting AGEod products. It'll be my care.

[JudgeDredd]

I have absolutely no idea what this thread is on about now! [:'(]

[Arsan]

Yes, i have been also involved a little on your modding team (until you kick me off without warning, by the way [:-])and know from first hand that while your work is great you REALLY love to dramatize, victimize and antagonize [8|]
About the "censorship and dictatorship measures ruling AGEod forum life" all i can say is that as anyone except the most trollish or desillusional can confirm, that forum is one of the most civil, friendly and lightly moderated forums i have ever posted on.
I don't even think nobody had been banned from there ever [X(]

You must learnt to differentiate things: that some people don't agree with your views does not mean that they are boycotting your or censuring you [;)]
About or friendship, what "poisoned it" was that i "dared" to not agree with your (bad guys/good guys) views. From that moment on i became your enemy, as all the AGEOD members baddies in your list. [8|]

By the way, to not go so off topic, i'm still waiting for the link where the baddies at AGEOD "took advantage from the fact, quoting the very positive review at its forum pages too". [;)]
I have tried, but cannot find it!
We will forget about the imaginary Gamespot review as it seems it has been removed mysteriously (the CIA or the Martians probably [;)])

Jeez, like if Gamespot used to review "hardcore" wargames every day...[8|]

Yes indeed having troubles me too to get the subject![:D]
I was expected it was legitimate thing to talk about games, even games troubles, and reviewing criteria!
Arsan, according to AGEod, philosophy prefers to manage things in term of personal offence.
I'm used with it, having spent many monts at AGEod forum pages, but I'm getting a bit bored with that........[>:]

"Reviewing criteria" of non existing Gamespot reviews?? Hell, that certainly is an interesting subject [:'(]

Let's go.

In your Gamespot review you stated;

"AI is missing and deficient in expected reaction, planning, execution."

on the AGEOD forum 2 weeks ago you wrote:

"On my own I never tried the game yet: I installed it only to get the Leader.EXL file."

http://www.ageod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12358

So I must conclude you're just a liar. A pathetic one. You're just diffaming AGEOD; I now really think you're bordering madness.

Some other AGEOD extracts from you:

2 weeks ago

" Thanking calvinus for tips I put hands over Leader.EXL file.
I'll give a first glance to Aircorps Aces, looking for respective entry date and for more aces to be added.

I'll return modded Leader.EXL file to calvinus or anyone in charge when done.

I know at moment WWI may have other priorities.
On my own I never tried the game yet: I installed it only to get the Leader.EXL file.
I will not bother WW1 development team. I know they are very busy: just when possible let me know if will be possible in the past to include portraits of leaders; aces in particular!"

You guys should take it outside or something. All this fuss, over what, 30 bucks or something like that. I'll bet you guys have dropped more than that on a rotten girlfriend that treats you a lot worse than this.

You're just ignoring something: Arsan, Lodilefty, me in some ways are attached to AGEOD. We like their games, we even do things here and there to help. Taking defense of something or someone liked is maybe irrelevant in a cynical world, but hamn too.

Doesn't everyone like Ageod games? I've got 2 of em myself.

Give it a few more months, and not only will the world be cynical, it will be flat broke too!

it's yet flat broken...[;)]

I agree AGEOD failed at WW1 release but with the coming 1.05e patch and the full manual next week I hope the release problems to be solved.

I delayed any reply here to the JASTAV's djihad because I know how much these sorts of flaming wars are disturbing. But I feel it is necessary to draw now the line about this pure madness as unfortunatly in our flat broke world reputation has to be good when selling something...

Hi Clovis,

Two days ago according to AGEod calendar

Pocus:
Thanks for all the nice mods you put out for Napoleon's Campaigns JastaV. Good luck in your new endeavors!

Adlertag:
Yes, JastaV gave a new youth to Napoleon's Campaigns.

FEW HOUR LATER I WAS SUBMERGED WITH OFFENSIVE STATEMENTS, most of them deliveret by anonymous senders!
Thanks, as regard!

I did not changed mind as regard: I never blamed or diffamated persons.... many of them have till my consideration.

Notice in my posts here I was just talking abaut a program troubles, evidencing facts already known to most of you too.
.... and over superficial publishing strategy!

As regard WW1
I pointed out I installed the game just to download xls file on Calvinus suggestion. No need to negate it!
Soon later I started playing it, for curiosity!
No need to go after manual: I clearly stated in the past, manual was the thing I read soon as I bought game..... I also posted some tips for improved gamemanual version.

Two weeks ago:

INDEED I WAS ALWAYS TALKING AGAINST BAD GAMES AND A WRONG PUBLISHING POLITICS!

Clovis, you are of a different temper: you move against people!
