Some sites have already reviewed M&B as abeta.Woosterscott said:I really hope the reviewers focus on what makes Mount and Blade unique. I think most reviewers get the point of the game while others will try to compare it to a standard run of the mill RPG and complain. Gah, talk about missing the point! The reviews haven't even come out yet and I'm already enraged at the bad reviews that are sure to come out due to sheer ignorance. Mount & Blade is not an action-RPG err I mean it doesn't have a plot but uh it's still a role playing game? Either way, thumbs down to all the bad reviewers out there!
On the flip side, word of mouth marketing will be awesome. I've seen Mount & Blade gain major exposure as THE indie game of 2008. Is there any competition really? Maybe Audiosurf but still. And like I said, I think word of mouth will be big. I know that's how I heard of the game.
Or worse what if they're right?

Now that it's coming will it be re-reviewed? While I hope so, I most definetly believe it won't happen.
At least not in Gamespot. I know their policy: 'Once we rate a game, that's it, we won't change it'.
I can't tell if that applies to reviews of betas, which are games that are still to come.

lol.
I meant what if the beta that they review IS close to the real game? I doubt it so nothing to be worried about.EasyCo said:Right about what?
I don't think we should be worried about reviews right now. All the ones I've seen talk about how great the game is. And the player reviews for Mount&Blade are very high. So no reason to be worried.
You could've necroed the thread, I don't think people would've been that upset about it.bravesirknight said:Sound Chaser said:http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,44352.0.html

Oh... and it wasn't on the front page of the forum? You ungrateful louts.
