Thoughts??

<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">

Funny, maybe we're not all great speakers of English, but if I read that right, it appears to be asking for our *thoughts* on the review, which I gave. I don't recall reading that this was a message thread about giving your thoughts about someone else's thoughts of the review.

So basically what you're saying is they only were looking for *thoughts* along the lines of "GREAT REVIEW, I AGREE COMPLETELY...slobber slobber", "PERFECT! You didn't overrate or overstate the sim-aspects of the game one bit!"

So when you say you don't care about what I think of the review (or the game), you're not actually speaking for the person that began the thread, right?

&gt;&gt;&gt;Good gaming is for me. Perhaps you're fine with the plethora of bugs in MVP. If that's what you accept as quality gaming, then that's great for you. Blissful ignorance is a wonderful thing.&lt;&lt;&lt;

I guess I'll side with the dark side on this one.

Links for the Xbox is not a sim. But it's the closest thing to a sim on a console, and it's a hell of a lot of fun. That's good enough for me, as I don't golf in real life and don't demand total realism. But for those who want the real thing like Pats, the only way to go is PC golf.

Oh, and he's right about MVP: It has as many bugs as a camping trip during the summer. Disappointing game, but then again, all of the baseball titles released so far have been mediocre at best. You'd think developers would give baseball games similar amounts of attention as they do football games, but football games are so far ahead of baseball in realism and lack of bugs it's almost comical.

And while I appreciate everyone's defense of the OS review and reviewer, HDaniel asked for thoughts on the review. Pats posted his and was burned at the stake for it.

What's the point of asking for thoughts on the review if you can't absorb and swallow a few negative thoughts, especially when Pats laid out specific, valid issues he has with the game? Next time, just end the initial post with "Compliments?" instead of "Thoughts?"

The vast majority of posters liked the review. Isn't that enough of a warm security blanket? Fellas, you've got to take a little bit of the negative mixed in with all of the positive. It's a review, an opinion, and that's always subject to debate. The only gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Awaiting the flames with my Nomex suit ...

Take care,

Re: Our Links 2004 Review

Excellent...I agree Links is the best console golf game available. Reviews like this are why I trust Operation Sports over other review sites.

I have pretty much beat this game to death, but want more...Hopefully 2005 is still planned.
