really how can ya beat this...? (review of as-ufotown)
"FUN FACTOR: This map is a sadomasochist's wet dream."
Thay actually downrated Mr. Fawns new map because he deleted the brushes after rebuilding. Besides we had this discussion on the board in extenso it´s ridiculuos. I personally dislike it, but it has nothing to do with the quality of the map
i agree, totaly unacceptable review like this, i send a nice non flaming mail too naligirl for that
the map didnt do it for me so much, but lowering the score cause of deleted brushes makes no sense.....thats c4rp
Yup, /me agrees. Technical shiznit shouldn't even come into a review unless it concerns framerate issues. The vast majority of UT players you see on the servers don't know and don't care what UED is anyway, much less whether the brushes have been deleted.
so they got five possible verdicts, which I suppose spread out equally:
:tdown: :tdown: = 1-20%
:tdown: = 21-40%
= 41-60%
:tup: = 61-80%
:tup: :tup: = 81-100%
They gave DM-Ghostmine one thumb down.
That is idiocy. Even with some serious out-of-line feedback the average score it got here was 5.5 which would have been a very secure horizontal thumb with upward tendencies.
If you look at what the map tries to achieve, and then look at what it does achieve one can't possibly give it a thumb down.
No way.
One can't give a map like DM-Ghostmine a thumb down.
And if one does it is idiocy, nothing short of it.

That's just an assumption.
It could be more akin to a Letter Grade, or anything the reviewer wants it to be. Leaving the whole thing basically a subjective score of "like" vs. "dislike"
Hey everybody! I responded to all the feedback I got about ordeal:

you don't have to agree with me... that's why i have my site and you have yours
twrecks- it's not subjective. it's more like what wolf said

I went trough the forumplanet thread and I have to admit that theres a lot of BS. NMice try with SC but its like you gonna go to fight the mappers, the community like everything. If you like this little one gal war than watch and take care of not making it into an guerilia war were you get zillions of mails and you trying to reply to them all personaly....
if you have 10 points, and you take away 2 points of the score just for an technical detail, from wich the whole community says its good, then u got a problem......
I'm amazed to see that Sunspire fucked up this soon
every review site has a Matterminator I guess..

Okay...
So if a map is like fun and has great playability but the mapper deleted brushes no smo-player would ever miss to save file size that would constitute a "bad thing" an therefore recieve a thumbs down. On the other hand if the map just was technically brillant save bot paths, again would get the tumbs down. Well, I guess any demerit would be basis for a thumbs down. In that light, I should have rated Jerramie's DM-Alcatraz a thumb down after finding over a dozen flaws, but CliffyB found the map to be worthy of "Ownage". Silly me for ending up with a 7.5, shoulda been a 4??? (by Wolf's Cumspire Cotex % rating, oops, couldn't resist the homonym).
I think Sunspire is off to a good start, and I'm happy that someone else has a review site after so many good ones fading after the fad had died. I encourage you to continue so we (NC and SC) can start toe to toe on UW.
Don't in anyway misconstrue that I think either NaliCity or myself perfect. I have my tastes in maps that don't always agree with our readers and if not in a good mood can be sufficiently harsh, and in the same vien sometimes too generous if a map appeals to my senses. I will be forever your's and SC's critic NaliGirl, welcome to "The Wonderful World of Reviewing"
