The reason I changed my mind was because while originally the review was being attacked for not really being a review, several PMs I received as well as some discussion in this thread had people showing that they really didn't like it, once again, because of its position and wanted it down as such.

And I'm against that.

Sure, the end results might've been the same, but for me it's all about the journey.

Pffft, nothing gets 10/10! Except EarthBound. Infact, it gets 11/10, because it goes to 11. Oh, but in my complete improbability of being wrong, I also proclaim any game with a gun not called "Fallout" "Fallout 2" "Fallout 3" or "Earth Defense Force 2017" to now get a 1/10.

I've already declared my word final.

Honestly, rather this game is good/bad has content/doesn't, the point is it gets attention. It's a damn good strategy, the only better thing I could imagine is "Uwe Boll sucks off Jack Thompson - The Game"

Imagine how many sites would cover it, while saying they need to stop talking about it? :D

The final word, as I am the best:

It's a user review. The second we start censoring our readers' opinions, we start compromising the wonderful community ethic that is the very heart and soul of Honest Gamers.

I disagree vehemently with the review, and the poorly-disguised digs at the staff review are awkward and silly. But it's nothing compared to the ludicrous comments you see on Eurogamer or N4G. Some of those are just plain offensive and even threatening (Oli Welsh receiving a death threat for his MGS4 review, anyone?), whereas this is just a slightly misguided argument that seems to miss a few trillion points about the game. That happens sometimes.

I read this before there was any topic, and I didn't remark upon it internally as being much different in content to hentai reviews I've read before. That is, they talk about the nature of the porn content, usually accepting that the game content is pretty poor or low, often unvarying from game to game. So whatever the politics, as a review it's pretty par for the genre. It would never have occurred to me that users would say it was such an abysmally written review that it needed to be pulled down. The only poority of grounds I see in that department is the crime of specifically referring to someone else's review.

I had a good laugh at the review telling us that "u don't know what tha fukk ur talkin' about unless u understand Illushun's games!!" and then calls RapeLay "RapePlay."

Das irony.

The box has "RapeLay" written on the front in English (big letters even), so spelling it any other way usually means someone doesn't actually own the game.

...despite any claims to the contrary they may make.

I want said box. It would look wonderful to bring into class and set down infront of me. I would love to see the evil glares people would give.

You all have it wrong, actually, and I've been meaning to bring it up since I read Zig's review for the first time.

It's RapElay

I think the UK press is all over it as "RapePlay" at the moment after a major newspaper misprinted its name, then.
