VOLRATH'S PROFILE

Hey, thanks! I find the highly polarized reactions we've gotten to the ending to be pretty fascinating. Some people have taken the totally opposite approach of your review and describe it as a fatal flaw. Glad it was meaningful for you.

With the Kickstarter stuff done successfully, we expect this game to look a lot different in a few months (although the story will be nearly identical) and some of what you've said about a few of the puzzles is already on our radar. I hope to hear from you again then!

Needless to say, Shroud was not happy when Astra grabbed his bag of gold pieces and tossed them to the bottom of a hill.

Good stuff, but of course you're an old pro at this.

I remember on my first playthrough, I got destroyed numerous times by the same two bosses you mention. However, on the playthrough I'm doing now, I've been doing much better all around on all the bosses so far and actually have yet to lose a single battle. A steep learning curve, I don't think anyone would dispute that. Haven't gotten to those two yet in my new playthrough, we'll see how it goes.

Perhaps I edited it out because I decided that it didn't accurately reflect my opinion. That's usually the reason people edit stuff out. You probably think that I edited it out because I'm scared of offending people, but if you think that I'm scared of offending people then you really need to lurk moar.

Actually, I thought you removed it because you lashed out at me without actually reading the content of my stuff and only realized it later. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that's the same approach you took to reviewing MotW. Did you ever warm up to that "battle music" that doesn't exist? Come to the think of it, a poorly-written review getting called out for its shortcomings must seem familiar. It's all right though, I forgive you, Dr. Puking up Frothing Vitriolic Sarcastic Spittle.

If I unwittingly twisted your comment, it's probably cause I don't know what exactly your point is. You're pointing to a lot of the same issues as most of the commenters, including the same basic point I made, and yet you don't like that other people are doing it? Even the example you quoted wasn't saying that reviews with a dissenting opinion was inherently illegitimate, it was only saying that someone taking a position like that has more of an uphill climb to convince everyone else and it's obvious this review isn't going to manage that.

But this is now a discussion about toasters so conduct yourself appropriately.

That toaster thing's a rhetorical disaster. I can only speak from my personal experience, but there's not much in the way of varying strategy when it comes to using them. You take it out of the box, plug it in, but bread in it and pull the lever down. You don't need to cast Sleep or Blind on it first.

And has anyone actually read reviews of toasters online? I can't say I have. I'm just like "Does it toast bread? All right then."
