I really did LOL at how laughably misleading that little blurb and headline was, over at maxconsole.
I don't get why people do that. Hits? Controversy? Who knows?
I wish to god that the news types would not one-word-quote people and re-iterate their words verbatim and with a slant. Just give a very succinct, one-line description and link it. "David Jaffe likes MOH, sans a few small gripes", would have been perfect. I know that in these instances, I can link to the source either way, but I'd rather not have to scroll down or surf the text for a blue word.
They know people will read it, though, because some people would rather not go to the source and just get the bare-bones (Even thought that's not what they're getting).
Not related to this, but related to the trailer...finally somebody who fucking gets it. way to go Jaffe. I'm pre-ordering TM soon, teach other Devs that trailers are supposed to get you psyched for a game!
Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
HAHA!

Wow, just wow.
ReplyDeleteAhw, didn't get to see the headline before it was changed. Anyway care to say what they said? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat Lucas, googled the link and here's what i found "David Jaffe: Reviews are wrong, MoH is better than Modern Warfare 2 online..."
ReplyDeleteDon't know what came after the ... but that should be enough.
