:::Jinx, for your claim of 'fully patched', see the section immediately above this. 'Fully patched' does not mean what you obviously think it means. As for what I base the idea that not all issues have been addressed, again, that is clearly laid out in the section above. So far, all you have done is assert that you are right and I am wrong, nothing more. Conversely, I am putting what the '''cited references in the article''' say, not my own personal opinion, and I didn't even put those references in, so how you can say that it is ME pushing an agenda, is, quite frankly, a total mystery.

:::::So... "Fully patched" doesn't actually mean "fully patched," but "not fully/only partially patched?" Because YOU (and only you) say so? And does "black" mean "white" and "up" mean "down," too? [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinxmchue]] 13:42, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
 
::::::Jinx, did you, as I said, actually do a Google search for the term? Here, I've [http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&q=%40fully+patched%27&meta=&btnG=Google+Search done one for you]. Go through those, and count how many times you can see that 'fully patched' is definitely used to mean 'there are no issues left to be addressed'. What I have stated as the meaning of 'fully patched' is the NORMAL USAGE OF THE TERM. It would be more correct to say that YOU are claiming that it means 'no issues left to be addressed' because that is what YOU claim it means, and no-one else.

:::I should also add that your claim of the article 'presenting both sides from the start' is questionable to say the least. [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Left_Behind:_Eternal_Forces&direction=next&oldid=393348#Reviews Here] is the relevant section before I started editing it. Now, this seems to imply that all the negative reviews were down to 'religious bias' rather than anything else (even though if you actually read the one [http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/pc/left_behind review] actually quoted there, well, that's the Game Revolution review, which I've talked about above, and one thing I left out is that one of the reasons it actually marks the game down for is that it 'wastes a good premise'. That hardly sounds like 'religious bias' to me). What's the next diff? Me clarifying there was more than religious reasons for criticising the game. The one after that? You reverting my edit, claiming that my point has nothing to do with the subject, even though that section is called 'Reviews', and I'm quoting directly from the same review.

::::Quoting you:
:::::''"Some of the reviews were more about the reviewers' personal bias against religion in general or evangelical Christianity specifically."''
::::See? Some, not all. SOME, not ALL. Man, you have a serious problem with what does or does not imply something or other, don't you? [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinxmchue]] 13:42, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
 
:::::Yes, some of the reviews. Not all the reviews gave a low rating. Now, if you had said, 'some of the negative reviews', you might have a point. But you didn't. [[User:Urushnor|Urushnor]] 13:59, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
Out of curiosity, have any of you played the game? Reviews are interesting, but I wouldn't mind some firsthand knowledge either. How does it really play? For instance the first Age of Empires could also go slow during huge battle scenes, but it was still an excellent game. And, I would be interested in how it plays after patches more than problems it had at first. While initial shortcomings can be mentioned as a footnote, what our readership will really want to know is what could they expect if they played it themselves in the present?

:Go to my user page, find my "shameless plug for my blog," and scroll about a quarter of the way down my blog to my latest post about the game (including links to my previous posts). [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinxmchue]] 13:48, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
 
::Interesting reading. Thing is, it seems to confirm that you are pushing your opinion of the game, instead of relying on objective facts. [[User:Urushnor|Urushnor]] 13:59, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
