If the public enjoys their reviews as much as Linguica thinks they are, I don't see why we should eliminate either one of them. After all, we wouldn't want to hear something like from Liam again that one might not have enough of his personal time and will need to quit the job. Why not let them take turns each week to do the reviewings.

Yeah, two reviewers is a neat idea if possible and if both are willing, particularly since, as we can see, they are different. I prefer deathz0r since what he says is more in tune with what I see, though (or so it seems from the reviews.) Raligunner still needs to make some grades in the DOOM University. Reviewing with EDGE and talking shit about the game's weapons!? Shoo! It's... kind of funny if not embarrassing.

I rarely look at screenshots... they don't say much, though I look at them sometimes if curious or if the reviewer refers to one. As for monsters and messages and status bars, it depends, obviously, what you want to show in the shot... if it's the mayhem you may encounter there, show monsters on the attack, if the status bar is different, you could show it, if the architecture stands out or you focus on it remove them. Overall, I prefer to see -nomonsters/fullscreen in general, it is clearer, but this can change depending on the reviewer's aim.

if the authors take my opinions constructively (if that is the right word), they would obviously try harder to fix up their past mistakes.

[QUOTE]RailGunner said:
The Catacombs by Alex Parsons – Another A.P. WAD. This time, it’s a helluva lot harder if you play it on UV. Well, you can tell that this was inspired by MAP22 (Same name) in the IWAD. But hey, I’d keep this level instead of id’s. Well, it’s quite differnt. The start of the level looks like it continues from “Mossvale Dungeons” but it doesn’t IIRC. Basically, you deal with the same marble area but then it’s like a dirt like level with MAP22 inspiration. It’s harder than the original, fair enough to say. You often see barons and chaingunners loitering the level. I must warn you, there is a pit you cannot get out of unless you use the IDCLIP code. I’d recommend this to a fan of MAP22, but anybody who loves AP is going to like the fact that he joined Community Chest (that new community megawad that Cadman started and I webmaster/host).

This (AP_009) is a good wad! Lots of action and a very tough outdoor opening sequence. It was fun to record. Thanks Alex. Lmp is on the way.

Yeah, I also think Deathwarrior was aiming a little towards the Liam side.

I mean, c'mon, rotgs.wad was frikin' awesome, except that it's music was too staticky on the techno samples. Still, I've never been so fucking scared of ONE SINGLE HELL KNIGHT (atmospheric/changing music can do that to you). Kinda reminded me of Resident Evil... I agree that the dialogue is VERY cliche, but the story is good.

I'll have a go at reviewing some: I just downloaded the five new /newstuff files. Expect something from me on my next visit here (in a day or two).

The kind of mistakes you are picking out are ridiculous and sour and you rip them to pieces; dont be a liam - be a reveiwer. This does not mean concentrate on negative issues and be the "hard on you, you thought it was good but I require high standards". It aint fuckin nasa blueprints.

And ROTGS was so amazing, reminded me too of resident evil, on the opening sequence where the scary ass music accompanies are camera pan through the deserted station - makes you wonder what happend here, how bad is it, where are they now? All with a level of sickeningness.
That damn warriors balls up again, we dont often get scripted wads, with cut scenes, why he bitch about its minor flaws as though we always have special script wads every day? He said the scripting sucked, omfuck! what a loser. what a bad reviewer. evryone who reviewed in this thread rocks apart from him.

Awesome wad!!!!!

Gonna cry?

Listen, different reviewers have different opinions on levels. The fact that you don't like mine doesn't bother me.

And if you did read past the first two sentences, I did say that the atmosphere was very dark and scary, with nicely fitting music. But however, he needs to improve a bit on his ACS scripting and he shouldn't of put in so many stealth enemies. Despite what you might think, I played through every level without cheating. Trust me, one of the new WADs in the next /newstuff is a piece of shit, and I'm 100% sure that you will agree with me.

No, I shall hold back the tears. At no point did you provide constructive critism about imrpoving his coding, you informed us that it once again sucked. My feedback doesnt bother you cos your a reviewer and I cant change your opinion lol. And despite your thoughts, i never implied yoou cheated. (um...why?) I emailed the author and congratulated him on his master piece (really outdoes the other wads) and me and him are dicussing work.
Heh, i do kinda agree with your ripping of another wad on there (forget the name, UAC maybe) But there were good points you should have elaborated upon. I get back with details.
As for your garbled text file prob, just have it in small window.
ROTGS was genuinely scary man, dont you think?

I am utterly dissapointed and diguested at.......haha forget it, the red/blue keycard thing was absolutley dumb. The wad although not badly designed, pissed me off, with its automtaic doors you gotta run and JUMP thru using source port. When i first downloaded this piss easy wad, it was brought to my attention that the best way to enjoy the wad was to cheat, turn of collision clipping and proceed as far off the map as you can be bothered, and enjoy a mirage of sliding HOM and null world physics. That was refreshing. The slash marks are now healing, thankyou. But the good points I was refering to is the extremely clever use of crates, which triggers hormones that dissolve brain cells that remeber playing the wad, which is a hard thing to acheive, but it did it well. Congratulations to the author for his PHD in notepad.

ROTGS was very good, maybe too many stealth enemies and the architecture was on the simple side (considering what you can achieve with zdoom). *******ely worth the download.

I agree, ROTGS is good. Though it can be challenging considering the smaller rooms and a bit overused stealth enemies. Unfortunatelly, Zdoom bombs out on me when I face the final boss. This is after he (it?) starts floating around.
