Poll: Runescape review.

[MrBrightside919]

Here's another 5 minutes of my life wasted reading this pitiful excuse for a review that i'm never getting back...

I can't stand Runescape. i used to play it a lot, but after all the free quests done I had nothing to do except pay for membership. And I ain't gonna do that. I decided I have a life and stopped playing the damn thing.

I'm open to notes. Why don't you devulge some of your reviewing tips with me.

Dude!
This review is lacking in all areas a normal review is.
Furthermore, you missed the point half the things.
Also, your review lacks examples.
1/10 Try harder.
Not only that, but your review is very biased, you take cheap shots at Jagex.

Yeah pretty much this my friend, take some time to write your review, its only two paragraphs, I know nothing of Runescape, and to be honest, didn't come out more knowledgeable.

You're exactly right, ultracheeser. I used to play it. I got to about lvl 65, I think. It just got tedious. Point, click, point, click, point, click. The quests didn't really matter anymore. All I could do was run around in circles killing enemies and collecting things. Sure, it seems great at first. A vast, colorful world with lots of things to do and lots of people to meet. But after a while, the combination of repetitive gameplay with Jagex constantly jumping through hoops trying to keep us interested just wore down on me. Runescape is also a game that requires a big commitment, and I mean a HUGE one. If you want to farm exp or gold, it takes a long time. And if you want to create weapons or cast spells, etc., you need to collect things and go through a long process. Let's say you want to make an arrow. First, you need to mine ore. After you mine the ore, you need to melt it into a bar. Then you need to fashion it into arrowheads. For the shaft, you need to cut down trees. Then you need to shape the logs into shafts. Then, for the fletching, you need to find chickens. After you've gotten the necessary amount of feathers (four per arrow!), you then need to attach everything together. These things aren't all right next to each other, either. All this requires the necessary skills and tools, and in Runescape, everything has skill levels. I just don't want to play a game like this, that requires the player to perform tedious tasks in order to be successful. I was in love with it at first, but it just got tiring and worn down.

It's not a bad game. Just meh. The only reason I ever really liked it at all was that it had a lot more variety than just attack stuff. It had a skill for everything!

... I played Runescape once, got bored and abandoned it all together. I'm telling you this because I'm someone who knows almost nothing about Runescape.

After reading that, I still know almost nothing about Runescape.

If you're going to review something either make sure it's so popular everyone will know it off by heart (Which will NEVER happen) or take some time into explaining the game/ tv show/ movie/ album/ brick [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.96938#1506283]/ whatever. Don't just assume that people will know what you're taking about.

Ah, C'mon.

He knows Basic Capitalization.
I'd say at the very worst, it's bad.
At the best, it needs improvement.

Wow... I couldn't even read that one. It was just... shocking.
