the amount of psychoanalyss going into a 1 line quip is impressive here. I was not referring to any particular review or any particular game.
I simply think it's poor form for someone who's played a game for many many hours to go and take the time to crap on it in the steam reviews. Clearly, not everyone agrees. That's fine. I'm not looking to convince anyone. However, strangers breathlessly trying to tell me what my motivations were for my post make a fascinating study in projection.
I think you are backpedaling somewhat now Brad. I also saw that 90hr. review of GalCiv 3 on STEAM pretty much around the time you posted this thread. Not to mention that at least one other in this thread has referenced that particular review. Certainly in my opinion it is beyond discussion that the OP was in fact (at least in part) relative to that particular review of GalCiv 3.
Also, it is not poor form to review (not 'crap on') a product especially after giving it so much time to 'grow on you' / 'clean up it's act in terms of performance' etc. As I (and others now) have (maybe exhaustively; certainly not 'breathlessly' ) pointed out, I especially want to hear from those who have given a product more than just the old college try!
For the record you are fascinating study specimen yourself!
