Owch.

Very scathing review, page 116 June 2005 Copy.

And one comment

Neocron, "you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Unfortunately I do actually find that very funny I cant say I've had those experiences, I tend to ignore idiots.

Whenever I've needed help in the past, I've practically always got my answer from the help channel.

edit: With all these reviews coming out ahead of the international release, it should be clear that the servers need to be patched to that level so they are not reviewing the current version!

From what I've gathered NC has as many cunts running about in it as other MMORPGs, it's just that people see WoW or SWG in some sort of revereance and filter them out and it's quite a bit easier for them to be vocal in NC.

That said NC's worst part is it's community.

Giving the game 24% is a bit vindictive though, I get the feeling the reviewer had a particuarly bad experience/was a bitter ex-player and just wants to get KK back for it.

i cant understand that unless he came along the OOC channel it kinda makes me laugh that he has rated games such as planetside higher an it well sucks... and i spose alot of the people being unfriendly is due to how much this game is based around the pvp which tends to get people all pissy

Anyone got the text of it?

I'd prefer to read it rather than guess what it says (especially after my gaff in the other review thread).

Funny. PC Zone UK gave NC1 82% or something, cant remember now. 80 something anyway. I'll see if I can dig it up.
Also, NC1 was once 2nd placed in their top MMORPGs. But that was 2 years ago.

EDIT : Okay, found the NC1 review. Score : 85%.

good points of NC1

- Excellent character development opperunities
- Virtually lag free
- Convincing sci-fi stmosphere

bad points

Very limites class selection
Numerous comedy bugs and unexpected crashes
Team-play non-existant as of yet

So, of the bad points (reviwed in Jan 03 issue, so Dec 02 when it was released), only 2 have been fixed.

I think this should be a wake up call to KK. They need to start fixing things, not adding stuff.

HAhahah!! Indeed,

I don't even know what to say to the review. Maybe they are right but the fact that I have no desire to play another mmorpg and have been here since (look to the left) Neocron is doing something right! (pvp)

Good point Drake.

Maybe we need to look at the game, and think, maybe, JUST MAYBE, Neocron really is only a 24%/58% game.

either way, I love it..... sometimes

Who gives a shit tbh. I'm sure some of the best games I've played have had reviews that didn't match the quality of the game. Not saying that NC is perfect by any stretch of the imagination but I think 24% is a tad low imo

Sounds very much like a case of inability to detach & give a review that isn't based entirely on personal opinion, but I'd like to give the whole thing a read.

There are MMORPGS with far worse groups of people who I'm sure would bring this particular reviewer to tears - but the communities are far more diluted when compared to Neocron's.
