Noteable "community" figures | |
Posted By: WRATHofGOD <wrathofgod@halo-zone.com> | Date: 12/1/04 1:10 p.m. |
In Response To: A few deep breaths *SP* (ragereset) I think the first mistake you made was to actually put weight into a review from a "noteable community figure". Just because someone has released a few video's, runs a fan site, or posts on a forum every day, doesn't mean what they say should even be looked at twice. I'm so tired of people idolizing regular video game fans as people they need to look up to. It's sad actually. Don't get me wrong, I do like the community- but it is what it is- a community. Unless you work for Bungie, or your sole paying job is to review video games, your opinion is an inch above meaningless (including mine). Keep that in mind when you read "reviews" from ANY "noteable community figure". Just because someone has the good fortune to spend free time running fan sites, organizing nationwide LAN events, producing video's, or having logged X amount of years "in the community"- doesn't mean their opinion means any more than mine. There are TONS of people around the country who do everything above, and aren't given special passes to events, invited to try the game beforehand, given any special "pipeline" to the developers, and aren't (and never will be) recognized formally in the community for everything they have contributed to it. My point? (sorry for the rambling) With no offense to any one person in the Bungie community, don't put and significance in, or get angry about a community guy giving his review. It's just an opinion from someone who's a part of a video game online community. Keep that in perspective. btw- this is my opinion as well, so don't take significance in or get angry about it. You can think the community "noteables" are extra special if you want to! :) |
