erichswafford -> RE: That Command Review...more nonsense (10/7/2013 1:33:56 AM)

If it were just this, you might be right. But go over to SimHQ and see my other counterpoints.
The review is full of half-truths and distortions. I'm a busy ER doc and I don't know this Herman person. All I do know is that, as I read his review, I was becoming hypertensive because it was clear what he was doing.
He makes vague, re-interpretable statements (that he can amend later), followed by grand sweeping conclusions. 3 cases so far:
1. Cluttered map: Used a non-representative low res screenshot, with every possible label enabled, then called the game "cluttered" and insinuated this made it nearly unusable. False
2. Mission editor: Mentioned the one feature the editor didn't have, then claimed it was so useless that you'd have no choice but to do everything manually. False.
3. Hotkeys: Says "no hotkeys whatsoever" for map features when, in fact, 3 of the most useful are there. Then overstates the impact by saying you'd have to do "20+ mouseclicks" every time you play. False.
Like I said, I'm a busy person who works 12-16 hour days. Even I was able to find these problems very easily. The only reason there are only 3 right now is because I'm just too busy to do this more than a few minutes per day.
So, you can save your cheap ad hominem accusations. I realize this Herman person has a lot of enemies, but I'm not one of them. I still have a few PM's from the guy, asking me to call him. That weirded me out, so I never responded. But I don't have some grudge against him.
Herman knew what he was getting into. He knew his review needed to be accurate and "clean". But apparently he just couldn't resist, and made a lot of poorly-reasoned arguments as he "fished" for things to complain about.
Don't blame me for noticing that his arguments are weak, and then pointing it out.

The reviewer stated there are "no hot key functions whatsoever in the menu." That is demonstrably False.
In fact, there are hotkeys for the 3 of the most useful items which I routinely use to de-clutter the display as needed: Illumination, Datablocks and Datalinks.
Those 3 items are right there in the menu, and yet he claims there are "no hot key functions whatsoever in the menu."
So in other words because the reviewer, Herman, was mistaken he is automatically a liar and up to no good. Sorry but I don't buy it. You're nitpicking to discredit the reviewer because you don't like him. As I said before no review gets it 100%, 100% of the time. Everybody makes mistakes without there being some underhanded motive involved. If you want to attack reviews try starting with those that give favorable reviews only because the publisher spends advertising dollars with their website. I've played nothing but this game since release and I'm still learning new stuff everyday. It stands to reason that any review of this game is going to miss things or be wrong about something. So lighten up.
