SAILERIUS'S PROFILE

Something happened to me last night when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go. I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky. It was moving irregularly. Suddenly, there was intense light all around. And when I came to, I was home.

What do you think happened to me?

Star Stealing Prince Review

author=eplipswich
author=Sated
"The fact is that Star Stealing Prince has been well established as a great game (not to mention it was released about a year ago). And, like Ronove said, it went through numerous revisions (up to Patch 3.0). If this had been a brand new unknown game, then maybe this review is valid. But in this case, you are in the minority when it comes to thinking this game is bad because of the frustrating gameplay. And you know that the majority always triumphs over the minority unless the minority becomes the majority or balances out the majority."

This is legitimately retarded.

Just because something is popular, or well respected, does not mean that a personal opinion to the contrary is wrong. Opinions are not facts, they cannot be right/wrong, they can only exist. If someone dislikes something then they dislike it and that's that.
My last post here. Anything else will be under the Standards topic.

Never once did I say that his review is wrong. I even stated at the end of my post that his review still stands. I only said just his review falls in the minority, so much so that it can't be taken seriously.
Why can't minority opinions be "taken seriously?" Minority opinions are the most valuable when trying to decide whether or not to play a game. I always read the lowest-rated reviews when deciding because they tend to best illuminate the flaws of the game which blind fanboyism is eager to gloss over.

To insist that all reviews that don't conform to the same opinion should be disregarded is lunacy.

Maybe I should get back to reviewing.

Star Stealing Prince Review

I still don't really see a reference to the status effects in that section but if you say they were on your mind, fair enough.

Returning to the game, I suppose you could say lots of people probably played this game with the walkthroughs and had no problem at all with it, but like I said... you shouldn't have to essentially cheat in order to get through it.

This is a pretty broad assumption and I think it underscores my issue with the review in general. In my case, the first time I played it was before a strategy guide was even available. I lost a lot of boss fights, but experimenting with strategy always got me through in the end. I never had to actually grind, just change up which skills I was using. Unless you've done a broad survey of the thousands of people who have played this, I don't think you can defend a statement like that.

If the game was hard enough to ruin your experience, that's that. But it's a step too far to presume as a fact that the game is unplayable when many others have beaten it. I could never figure out how to see those Magic Eye illusions, but I didn't think they were broken, I just couldn't do it.
As much as I like the game, I do think the difficulty is rather luck-based. I ended up dropping it because I got frustrated with status ailments not landing and dying when I did everything right. I think what the review is trying to get at is that he feels that the game is too unfair rather than too hard.

Lunar Wish: Orbs of Fate Review

I kind of want to play and review this game now.

Lunar Wish: Orbs of Fate Review

Why is everyone acting like a 1.5/5 is some catastrophically insulting score? The quality of something isn't a binary value.

Lunar Wish: Orbs of Fate Review

I can't draw to save my life but I can easily identify problems with anatomy and proportions in artwork. You don't need to excel at a field in order to be critical of it.

Finding Eden Review

Thanks for the review! Belated or not, it's much appreciated.

Vacant Sky Vol. 1: Contention Review

Thanks for the very detailed review! I hope you're intending to update it once you get through Act II+.

Wine & Roses Review

5/5 from Solitayre? That's about as strong a recommendation on this site as I can imagine. Gotta check this out.

Vacant Sky Vol. 1: Contention Review

It's alluded to a few times. He was involved in the Lykken Corp case in Svaneholm along with Blaise and Frank Jones. I'm not going to say too much about it right now, as it's currently planned to release a novella after the Complete Edition is done which tells the story and does it justice.

Vacant Sky Vol. 1: Contention Review

Vanquish's won't be added back in, unfortunately. Although important to his character, it isn't important to the main plot or to Auria enough to warrant the screen time.
