Ok, so the eXTCy is selling now, and people are comparing it to the G4 (and in my opinion, eXTCy>>G4) and it just really URKS me how people compare these guns. read the reviews here: http://www.ansgear.c...allgunextcy.htm

Really? The G4 couldn't possibly be more "smooth" or "accurate" than the eXTCy. Board programming, idk, but still. GRRRRRRRRRR. I just needed to get things off my chest.

Have you shot the extcy? Have you shot the G4? How do you know it "couldn't possibly be more smooth?"

On top of that, actual reviews, especially on a site where you can buy it, should only be done by people who actually own one or have extensive experience.

I don't see anything wrong at all. The people are expressing their opinions and giving reviews. Chill bro, they are just expressing their opinions and I don't see anything wrong with that. Just because you think the GoG marker is better (which it isn't IMO) than the G4 means squat. I think the G4 is better, but I am not ranting about it. If someone made a rant every time their opinions differed from others, the rant section would be flooded with posts.


And anyways, its not like the reviews at ANS are really that important. I don't even read them myself, and there is a huge amount of better information out there for research.

People are expressing their opinions, get over it.

I have to agree there are some really questionable review on ANS. I've learned to carefully read reviews and decide if complaints or comments are legit or not. Since the average age of paintballers is in the teens its not uncommon for a lot of hype to drive a review more than actual facts.

I did notice on the eXTCy that it had reviews long before anyone could have even had one. And most of them were "Its like an Ion but better... 5 of 5" or something like that.

^ This, even looking at phones on the verizon store, there were horrible reviews, and some amazing reviews, and some like, "I dropped it off a building and it broke, stupid fucking phone if I could give it zero stars I would" and the next review is, "This phone is awesome, never gave me any problems"

That's the reason I never look at the good reviews, because they're always just repeating whatever it's advertised to do. I look at the bad reviews, because I want to see how it will break, or if that's something I have to worry about. Of course I always try to screen out anything that isn't about a problem with the product itself.

Most of the time, I couldn't care less about people's opinions on the reviews.

What really irks me is when they make reviews like this one on the Sly Annex MI-7 mask:

these look like tippmann masks but are way better cuz u have the option of tinted lenses and i leave 3 stars cause i don't know if its any good

Don't know if it's any good? Then don't fucking review it!

To the first statement agreed, to the Extcy vs g4, the g4 is totally more accurate, it's more accurate because it just is ok?

Also I agree with the If you haven't used it don't review it, it's fucking retarted, well it looks good but it's made by X company so 5 stars, or it's made by Y company but I like A company more so 2 stars.

Well some of the reviews on there are not even reviews but other then that yes they should have the feature mabye they should pay a little more attention to it.....
