Nobody can do good reviews from the start. After some reviews and some feedback you feel quite comfortable about reviewing. But do you feel at ease with all the reviews you did?
Weren't you frustrated because a scenario was too hard and you deducted points from all five categories, instead only from Balance?
Didn't this 4.5 campaign get a 5.0 and you rated it 4.0 just to have it where it should be?
The scenario had a flat and unappealing map and you underrated all other categories?
You enjoyed a campaign and you rate it overall 5.0, even though there was no story?
You were in a hurry and your text was neither informative to the player, nor helpful to the author?
There are many reasons for an incorrect review, please share your experience with us, so others can learn.
What I want to say is, if you feel uncomfortable with one of your reviews, rewrite it. Nothing is wrong with admitting an error, it only shows that you became better and nobody has the right to prevent you from improving. What does this mean for your first review? Post it, unlike a comment on the authors description page, where you have to chose your words wisely, as they are eternal, you can replace a review at any time.
This topic is not meant to discuss the question, if you should rewrite a review. This topic wants to discuss why reviewers do incorrect and subjective reviews. We are all human.
I posted a new review for ID 475 Bound for Glory tonight, as my first one was not up to the standard of the campaign and I gave it a higher rating. What happened? Normally I play AoK like an officer, with distance, who wants to bring the boys home.
Unlike the above, swcarter succeeded to have me identify with his hero El Cid, something only Ingo could do before with Sigfried in TKBM.
I enjoyed the scenario and than something happened, what Intrepid described at the Forum in sticky: How to keep the player glued to the game, reply 15, with " A twist in the plot: When an event occurs that the player did not expect and throws them right out of their chair, smacking them against the wall with stupendous mind shattering force. For instance the person whom you believed and were told to believe to be the hero, turns out to be the villain."
This is exactly what happened to me when I first played the scenario. I wrote in my first review: "Would Robin Hood really do that?" "And would Robin attack green boys and old men?"
I posted the first review right after playing. I committed an error, which I corrected tonight.
