VIPER - Another idiotic reviewer (3dgaming.net)

5 posts by 4 people · 14 Nov 1998 - 15 Nov 1998

"Simulation freaks are gonna enjoy this title ling after arcade gear jockey's LIKE MYSELF have shelved it for more arcade-like racers, such as Need for Speed or Speed Busters." I think that about says it all. Again, another acrade reviewer is assigned to Viper Racing. Also "jockey's like myself" would mean "jockey is like myself". That is not even proper English! LoL

"car-tweaking gear ***s"? Well i never! Hummmph! "Simulation mode is extremely difficult to control for anyone without a steering wheel (sorry, I recently sold mine)" And this guy is reviewing driving sims???? "When I was 17 I shortened the family car by about a foot, using only a slippery downtown street and the bumber of the car in front of me." Maybe the reviewer was tramatized causing him to hate car sims? "Ok, so maybe they're not the rolling mirrors of Need for Speed 3, but they are shiny damn it!" I'm beggining to think the reviewer does not wash his car or he would relize that cars are made of metal and ARE SHINY!!!! Oh wait, he scratched the paint off on that slippery downtown street! Nevermind :-) "...but the designers seem to have built the cars' axles out of fine crystal." Lets see......heavy streat car, 150mph, hits 2ft bump, flys 5ft in the air, lands, i'm guessing 3-5 tons of pressure on impact, crystal eh??? "The customization options are so numerous as to defy mention. Unfortunately for me, I still have to talk about them." Just where DID they find this guy?!?!?! I'm beggining to wonder why i read his entire review. It only frustrated me to the point of posting my complaints here!!! :-)

No kidding. This person had absoultely no idea what the hell he was talking about. The first reviewer I've ever read that compares everything under the sun to NFS3. Besides if you're a journalist, and I use the term losely, aren't you suppose to be impartial. In the links to the next page all he could do was insult the game, what a dumb a--.

What do you expect from a site which lists Descent:Freespace and NFS3 under Simulations?

They are all people who can't get a job with the hardcopy press, but have dreams. This one's writing style is appalling. Why do these reviewers try to be amusing when they don't have mastery of the English language. I struggled to get to the end of this one. So this one doen't understand what he's writing about nor the medium he uses to express his ignorance - good mix. Paul
