Oh you people! GoG are the champions - Nothing will ever bring this site and community down!

Except plagiarism of course.

Gremmi: How can you give it benefit of the doubt? It's copied from multiple reviews from different people on different sites in different countries. There's no way they could all be him.

Roberttitus: You can't prove that... multiple accounts on multiple sites.
A couple of the ones linked are professional reviews, not just random user reviews. There's no doubt to be had in my mind.

He posted his picture before. The guy who posted the review on Just Adventure is definitely not him.

Well I can't argue against that.... if its not him then its not him. I just didn't happen to know that little fact.

You got me fair and square bazilisek

being honest though I probably just wanted to see my name on the front page of those games with some shiny stars (hence why they were written as soon as the games were released), I never meant to harm anyone or benefit from this in any way

I am sorry for doing this and I would be greatful if a gog.com staff member could delete these "reviews" - I would do so myself if I had the option

that is all

Al1: Hmm, interesting, and slightly ironic. On the basis of an argument with roman5 on another thread, I assumed he merely mocked those who dared to hold an opinion different to his own. On the basis of this, he seems incapable of forming his own opinions, or at least articulating them properly.
It does seem to explain his compulsion to jump into threads about games he is not even interested in purely to say how crap they will be.

This however is a completely different matter

First of all: if I wouldnt be interested in a game I wouldnt comment on it or say anything about it, there are plenty of games that come out that I have zero interest in

And second: I am assuming you mean my comments regarding Dragon Age 2, the reason for them was because I actually care somewhat about the series (considering I liked the first) and how the game is being made worse and features are removed instead of being added, not to mention the attitude of Bioware and EA.

Roman5: <snip>
The Dragon Age thread is one example, the Skyrim one another and there have been others where you have felt compelled to comment just to say "The devs are doing this..." or "This game will suck because..." without any evidence other than screenshots and magazine previews to go on.

You don't seem to keep an open mind and instead form an opinion based on the opinions of others which is why I was not surprised you copied the reviews of others and passed them off as your own in reviews here.

You do realise that it's already been confirmed that there will be less skills and many other things that will simplify the game even further? like the Removal of Birthsigns? And less weapon types?

I DO have an open mind and the thing is, being a massive eldescrolls fan I really and desperately WANT this game to be good however everything that I have seen and read so far indicates otherwise

I was worried about Fallout 3 a lot and that turned out to be fine so we will see but I'm not holding my breath

just some of my opinions

There are prizes for review?
Tell us, Roman, did you win anything?

So what are you gonna do with the Zork: Grand Inquister review you copy and pasted? Shame to waste it. Nevermind i will head over to Just Adventure and read it myself.

Happy trails.
