I wrote a review for demolition city one day. I ended up recieving a merit for it. The 2 people after me said get a life dont write 10 sentences. then one person left a comment on my profile saying: Stop looking at the bad side of games just play them and enjoy like your supposed to
I've seen lots of posts like this after i see a merit worthy review. It seems like no one appreciates giving detail in a review
People generally don't care for reviews they don't see are coming from someone they don't see as an authority and can easily play the game themselves and find out whether they like it themselves.
And should players like it then they will find those you underrate the game as demeaning and be angry at them.
If you received a merit obviously someone appreciated it.
Exactly ;-) If they are dissing your review, they are probably just jealous about it. You are getting the merit, not them!
Reviews do not have to always be positive, the best way to do a review is to be honest about it. If it is negative, then that's alright. People can make comments about it if they want, but they aren't actually taking the time to write their own review.

Exactly like if you submit a game you work really hard on and some one reviews it as a poor game and get a merit for it, you shouldn't be mad. They're just giving their honest opinion.
Yes, although, I am thinking that he is having trouble with regular users? Anyway, I wouldn't mind if a person says "bad game" or something similar (as long as it is not too hurtful) as long as they tell me WHY they find this way. Same if they say good. I am sure if you say bad/good game on a merit-worthy comment, then you should say why.
I can't understand why people get so angry when a short review is given, are you angry because you are seeing it because these people are solely submitting them for Armor points?
i just give the creator of the game as much appreciation as i can give them. i mean man, im not making any games. i dont know how hard it is. they work relatively hard on making those games. john, joeybetz and other big game makers on AG deserve applause. but so do the other guys. and i write pretty good reviews but i know they are not merit worthy
Man if people dont appreciate what you did. then they dont understand hard work. u deserved that merit, i bet they really couldnt get a merit and neither can i.
yea man. but you know it really doesnt matter. i dont really care about merits. i used to. cuz all i wanted was points. but now it's just cool talking to everyone. giving out needed information. but anyone that has gotten a merit truly deserves it, anyone who thinks that it was dumb of them is just jealous and wish they had one. not trying to be mean..
Well I have merit reviews, and some times people don't like them but I don't really care I just do it to tell the developer that the game might as well have some changes of some sort. Maybe some very good parts about the game, to tell the developer what a good or bad job he did >.<
Exactly. Just happened to me. Here's a link. Makes me wonder what peoples' problems are with me taking 15 minutes out of my day to write a review. Pathetic.
Wow TSL, now that I see that I think I'll go check a review I just did, lol. If I see anyone I'll probably tell them why I did it...hopefully they'll stop spamming and start writing reviews then.
