Shenmue II

I, as a writer, rarely do that though. Unless something pisses me off to no end to the point where I go on senseless rants, which I've done for WWF Raw (Xbox), Blinx, and a couple of other games.

Don't ever call yourself a writer. Please, for the love of God, do not do that.

You make me cringe and shudder each time you say that.

MVS, it's merely an opinion...

No, it's a fact.

Facts without personality are either Instruction Manuals, Fact Sheets or reviews by you.

Here's some positivity, then:

You generally provide a wealth of information (some of it useful) in your reviews.

The problem is that your writing is so stultifyingly boring that I read little and absorb none of it.

And I'm not trying to be mean - while your incessant posts sometimes irritate me, your reviews do not. Just trying to help.

I will say that I put more stock in a review from Jeremy than one from Dave Halverson.

[Jeremy]

Burg, thanks for the feedback there. I aim to inform in reviews, not to entertain. I've said that many times, almost as many times as some words used in the review... Thanks for the Halverson thing.

[MVS]

Why not just cut it completely down and make it a fact sheet then?

It would be less boring and then you'd get that information across.

[Jeremy]

That wouldn't express my opinion though.

[MVS]

No you don't.

"Shenmue II’s replay value is solely determined by how much you are willing to put into the game. If you are willing to give the game a chance, and come into with an open mind, odds are, you will end up liking the game. If you enjoy a slow-paced game, you will absolutely love Shenmue II.Conversely, if you like fast-paced games, you’ll probably enjoy the game as well, particularly the action-packed (and QTE-heavy) Kowloon portion of the game."

There is 0 opinion there.

[burgundy]

Yes, and we've told you just as many times that you can't aim to inform the clinically dead.

[MVS]

If the time comes when you want to chop the repitition out, and make it less boring, you know the where to send something.

[Jeremy]

At most, I'll just revise the thing with synonmyms in place of the repetitious words.

[MVS]

So, instead of saying the same thing with the same words 6 times, you'll only be saying the same thing 6 times?

Great. Good luck with that.
