Remember this jackass?

Heh. OOTP fans, check it out. Jonah Falcon strikes again.

BTW, click on the first screen shot and check out the manager mode picture. Richie Cunningham would be proud of that jacket.[

The ultimate fanboy. What a loser.

Jonah's biggest flaw is that he writes reviews on games that he's well beyond biased. Some games, he won't like before he ever gets them. Others, including OOTP, can do no wrong and he'll judge them accordingly. In fact, on OOTP, he was doing paid work for Markus while writing reviews on the products. He's a pitiful excuse for a reviewer with no integrity whatsoever.

That was pathetic. It fits that it was done on UGO.

Worse. I wouldn't mind him so much except his reviews are so biased. I know a review is a subjective thing (hell, I used to write them), but when someone has a predetermined bias toward or against a game, that's a problem. When someone is reviewing a game and has a financial stake in seeing the game succeed, that's dishonest. Jonah's both.

In addition, the quality of his reviews are poor. He was fun on the old CGO board to torment, because he always too the bait.

The worst thing about that preview was that he posted blatantly untrue information. When confronted about it, he refused to back off and instead turned it in to a pissing match. Dickhead.

I thought it was interesting that at the end he said the beta version given to media didn't have in-game managing. Sounds like more of an alpha version to me. But knowing .400's record, I have no doubt that OOTP5 will be delivered on opening day with all advertised features. And if not, the fanboys will have a reason, so everything is good.

I was thinking.....cut the guy some slack.

Then I seen him arguing about certain features of the game that he said were new but have actually been around for a couple years, now I realize he is a jackass.

Almost as if there was . . . reasoning . . . for this madness. By these people who have seen all of this before. Isn't it? Weird.
