Imo MMO's are the hardest game to really get a review since like the reviewers are not really putting in the time and commitment to the game. Its not like its a single player game where you play for a couple hours or w/e and know if the game sucks or not.
Out of curiosity, did Rift win any awards?

Because it's NPR. National Public Radio, the most boring, pedantic, and ****** source of anything exciting on the planet.

If I looked like that, yeah, I'd stay indoors playing MMOs.

It's from Associated Press. Does that change your opinion?

One that not only did you test, but bought, got into early access, and now paid for a subscription.

Slightly. The AP isn't a bastion of parity nor veracity when it comes to important issues, nevermind a video game.

They probably know more than you considering NPR pays them for their opinion.

Hmmmmm
NPR > Random forum opinion.

So if some has more or less a opinion contrary to yours mean its a 'fanboy', troll, got bough, clueless and all above.

Reviews are like propaganda used to 'control' pro or contra opinions.

Never forget that 'Flock Thinking' its a very dangerous thing and you should always say ''I'll be the judge of that''

Play the game and decide for yourself as we all i think the have judgement upon things.

In your opinion, what would a credible source be for a video game review?
