Gamesradar - "Conduit 2 was hardly beloved by reviewers, but T. Michael Murdock, who reviewed the Wii shooter for Joystiq, really hated it. His review's headline reads, "more like Con-don't-do-it 2," a line he suggests matches the creativity of the entire game, which he goes on to call "lackadaisical trash" and "appalling."
Words like that can hurt, and developer High Voltage was
understandably offended by Murdock's ruthless criticism. However, rather than directing a snide remark at the reviewer, which might have been considered unprofessional, but not unethical, an ill-planned e-mail has brought the full force of the internet's stern head-shaking down on the company"
Back in 2011, way before Splatoon was known to the world, Nintendo approached the developer of Wii FPS The Conduit to co-create a non-violent water pistol shooter as a first-party exclusive. However, leaks at the studio quickly led to the project's cancellation.
Agreed. I'm unsure of how to feel about the whole ordeal considering we still got Splatoon out of it.
Damaged Core is a VR first person shooter from High Voltage Software that is coming to Oculus Rift. It's set in a futuristic world where robots have become sentient and have decided to wipe out biological sentience. Humanity's last hope lies with you, another sentient robot, but one that was built to defend humanity and with the ability to transfer its consciousness into other robots and take them over.
New Orleans is celebrating 10 years of growth post-Katrina. One of the economic areas the city, as well as the state of Louisiana, has focused on since the Category 5 hurricane caused an estimated $150 billion in damage in 2005 is video game development. The state has offered as much as 35% incentives for game developers interested in starting up new studios or expanding existing studios.
Joystiq's review was unprofessional trash. The reviewer said he didn't even bother to play the multiplayer.
Got what he deserved.
The review was completely unprofessional and like Urmomlol said, the reviewer didn't even play the whole game.
That doesn't excuse High Voltage though. They should've been the bigger person and shrugged it off. There will always be haters.
Still, the reviewer should've expected some kinda backlash, being that unfair toward a game.
Not cool. That's a very unprofessional and immature behavior.
Hateful review is responded to with hateful reviews...
... sounds like you all need to do a little growing up...
