Can we have a thread where we laugh at how fucking bad Games Journalists are at their jobs?

Game journalists are often losers that couldn't cut in other fields so they settled for videogames because of the low barriers of entry, which they have no respect for and regularly try to make their job political so it seems more respectable in their eyes, all the while regularly shitting on people that make, enjoy playing and actually give a shit about games.
Game journalists are some of biggest fuckups out there, I miss when gaming wasn't big enough to support people like this and only passionate people got into it for the love of it.

It doesn't surprise me but I'm still disappointed.

>implying games journalists can read let alone write an article that isn't a buzzfeed tier list article

Btw any journalistfags wanna explain why the fuck list articles are everywhere nowadays?

I miss having a typewriter.

Its gone to the point that even warzone reporters are hated rather than hailed as heroes.

How can I be a game journalist? I want to be paid for my shitposts

Be parent of someone in charge.
Also be a loser for not being able to get a real job.

How can I be a parent if I’m a loser you dunkass?

There's plenty of indie sites looking, but if you want to go to these events you have to live in the right cities. Usually you'll be writing for free and when you get reviews most sites let you keep the review copy. It takes about 30mins to write 1000 words so it's not a bad trade-off.

Your best bet would be just to open your own site though, it's not that hard to whip up a half-decent WP theme, though hosting costs are pretty bad.

If you wanna write for a bigger site it's definitely nepotism. Usually people go from games journalist to games PR agent, at least in my country.

I think PR agents know games journalists don't play games and so don't waste their time. There was an event for Killzone 3 (or was it 2, the PS3 one) where games journalists literally ran into walls when forced into a tournament. I placed second or third to some regular people that won a competition to attend.

I'm not a journalist but my theory is that they practically write themselves, anybody could compile a list of top ten whatevers in video games and throw a few in-jokes around to pad it out. It also creates an easy avenue for engagement in the form of comment sections (people saying that number six should be number one, honorable mentions, etc.) in order to make subsequent articles even easier to write. It also creates a perfect format for placing banner ads in between each list item, further maximizing the ratio of labor-to-revenue. In short, it's laziness, ad revenue, and the commodification of content into bite-sized chunks for easier digestion.

The Cuphead thing is honestly stupid. Yes, that was gameplay from a journalist, but not a game journalist. They've talked about games occasionally, but like 80% of their articles or more aren't related to games at all. Yeah, it's pretty dumb that they aren't even capable of beating the tutorial to a game, but they aren't really a gamer and constantly using that as an example of muh games journalists is just being disingenuous. There are plenty of better examples of games journalists being retarded.

Brainlet opinions. Just because I can't beat all the bosses in Dark Souls without summoning doesn't mean that my opinion that it is a 6/10 game is invalid. In fact, it makes my opinion even more valid as I don't have a sunk cost fallacy of effort put into the game.

You can't review a book properly if you don't understand the language

Lots of game journalists are literally just people who don't play games

Jesus how do these people live.

No it isn't, he is or was an editor at Polygon

Digital advertising and content aggregation is killing journalism, partially because clickthroughs are more valuable than content but also because everybody is getting news from aggregators, or social media platforms like Facebook or Google instead of host sites. Listicles were created for the sole purpose of getting the most clicks out of a reader, driving up ad revenue, except the business model turned into a bubble that lead parent companies thirsty for a fast buck to dump everything into digital, which is gutting newsrooms across the country because print is dying and digital content is being read elsewhere. Media literacy is the fucking worst it's ever been, mostly because there's no connection between readership/audience and publication anymore, but also because the relationship has been poisoned on so many levels it's practically impossible to freelance your way into the industry without connections.
Tl;dr I should've gone into cybersecurity instead of going through with my plans. This job isn't worth it anymore.

>It's weird how "journalists" of other hobbies at least try to know and be good at what they're writing about
That hasn't been true in a long time.

This is one of the difficulties of journalism in covering shit you're not associated with. An expert can write on a given subject with authority and clarity, but can't subtract their involvement with that subject from their content, thus creating an ethical conflict with bias, whereas a journalist who covers a subject without direct involvement only has their secondhand exposure to that subject, which affects their content by lacking context or nuance necessary for the audience to more completely understand the subject without being involved themselves.
Obviously the more time someone spends around a subject the better they understand it, but most games journalists don't have that as entertainment writers; they have to cover something and move on to the next thing, which leads to shit content.

Thats the way it goes for any artist. At least devs don't make 100% of the game so even though ffxv wasnt perfect, the music was amazing and deserves at least a 9

In my experience mostly opinionated idiots study journalism and any genuinely intelligent people interested in it stray away due to the field being such an over saturated shitshow. As a result there are no standards for quality outside of physical publications and major news website. Seriously, read a fucking gaming news article and count the basic grammatical errors. Not helping is the fact that gaming is one of the few hobbies someone can be objectively bad at. You can lack the ability to interpret a novel, but you can still describe it rather accurately

If that's the case then the high production scene isn't where you want to be, any game with a lot of money behind it will be picked apart and made in the safest way for the best returns, (some exceptions of course). It's best to follow the people who shy away from the limelight as there is less incentive to exploit their position for more attention.

A serious answer would be
1 - Most of these websites have a possibility to submit your own thought pieces. If you're accepted, that's a way in, assuming it gets a decent amount of views
2 - Something that sets you apart. For example, when Yahtzee started out, he made two videos on youtube, got hired by the Escapist and increased their viewership by 500% I believe.
3- Experience in gaming. Either as a dev or having worked in a vidya company.
4- Degree in Journalism or some made up Media course.
5- Possibly most important, networking. Know the right people and you get anywhere in life.

The DK tropical freeze gamespot Wii U review still baffles me

His entire article sounds like he only played the first world and his "Every level follows the same set up" comment still makes no sense

well what is your take on someone reviewing a competitive game then? should they not need to have a competent encompassing understanding of the game's mechanics? if not, then what the hell are they reviewing?

it's the same as a game like cuphead: if you can't jump and dash, you are FAR too bad to objectively critique the game. i would even go to say that in order for your review to actually have meaning, you should have an interest in the genre too.. for example, you shouldn't have someone that resents RTS review a game like starcraft: of course they're going to not like it given the core mechanics of the genre. it's the same with someone that hates platformers reviewing cuphead.

personally, when I'm looking for reviews I try to find what I listed above, normally in steam reviews: competent, passionate, and encompassing.

My parents have hardly played vidya and they figured this out pretty quickly. I've played vidya with genuinely mentally retarded children and they don't get this confused by simple maneuvers.

Vidya journalists and playtesters are indifferent to vidya or outright hate the medium. They mistake their own total removal from the well established controls and accepted rules of design of the medium for the average player's experienced skill and understandings.

Game journos are just like car journos, and both of them have ruined their respective "fields". Same thing in the car field, 90% of those sniveling journos are pasty nu-males who live in urban zones and don't drive or like cars regardless, but their opinion is taken as gold and manufacturers stuff cars full of bullshit to appeal to their complaints.

I was more referring to them all spending years making definitive statements that there is no collusion in games journalism and it's a conspiracy theory, and it's just a massive coincidence that all the major sites always agreed with each other and posted very similar articles to each other within hours on the same day. Then gamejournopros was revealed to exist, so they have absolutely zero integrity and there's no way anyone with a brain could believe them ever again.

honestly I'm half convinced it is because journos have this fucktarded huge hateboner for sonic and desperately push the "sonic was never good" meme so hard they'll even shit on the genesis games. I guarantee you that one webm of some fucker falling through emerald coast in SA was rehearsed. I won't defend how buggy that game is but that isn't possible to do if you're playing normally, you have to go out of your way to cause that to happen.

This is 100% correct.

Most games journalists see video games as just "video games so its for kids," which is why they cling so desperately to shit with a cinematic story or whatever to justify their occupations in their own eyes, yet at the same time will deride gamers for being entitled because "lul its just a game grow up incel!"

There are actually really passionate people in the industry, it's just that their reputation gets fucking tanked by the shitters that can't play games and have to rush through them as fast as possible to pop out a review in a mad rat race to the absolute fucking bottom.

Memeing on how much he sucks at Cuphead and video games is fine and all but the guy has enough of a history doing actual journalistic coverage that I'm not gonna fuss about his job despite him clearly not being qualified for hands-on demoing (which he wasn't even supposed to do to begin with).

>not qualified for hands-on demoing
Not qualified to play video games or be trusted to put the round block in the round hole if that footage is anything to go by. He has a history of jounralistic coverage in games that is all retroactively called into question because of how OBVIOUSLY UNFAMILIAR the man is with games.

Is that a lie though? Is it really?

They all stated that it didn't exist. It did, and they lied. They have no integrity. You are exactly like the people who spent all of the 2000s calling anyone who said the NSA had comprehensive domestic spying programs 'conspiracy theorists' and then when PRISM was definitively revealed through the Snowden leaks went, "well OF COURSE that kind of shit existed, what are you dumb lmao". Get cancer.

journalistic coverage isn't the same as reviewing and critiquing, retard.

>(which he wasn't even supposed to do to begin with)
It just bothers me that he wasn't even supposed to be mildly decent to begin with
>but the guy has enough of a history doing actual journalistic coverage that I'm not gonna fuss about his job
I do think you have a point, but I'd also like to point out that covering some forms of media doesn't automatically qualify you to be good at reviewing others. I mean, I might think someone's book review was a little less viable if I found out that the guy reads one page an hour because "well he's just not that good at reading guys", especially if he complains about things being too confusing

I hate how these people feel like they can talk as if they were transgender too. These clowns just keep putting words in our mouths and make us look bad.

Any attempt at trying to take the current generation of games seriously can be countered with "thanos dabbed in fortnite." Any cinematic experience, any claim that games are art, any attempt at saying that games are a medium worthy of critical interpretation, that games can be used for self-expression, that games can define gender and politics, that games should be treasured for their emotional impact: thanos dabbed in fortnite

How the fuck is it not? If this guy ever said in any review that something isn't properly explained or the controls weren't intuitive enough, you can completely ignore him, because he's a fucking retard.

It would be like a blind man reviewing a movie, he may be a damn good journalist in other fields if given the chance, but he's completely unsuited for reviewing a visual medium.

If you're bad at videogames, you really shouldn't review or cover them in any way, because your inability will colour the piece you make about it.

Surprisingly good. They have a morality rating as well but they do a great job of keeping that as a complete separate aspect to the review, basically for those that really care for it.

Christian game-review website that I believe has two scores: how good the game is and how good it is for the moral and upstanding Christian individual

Bayonetta scored like fucking shit on the Christian part but his actual review was pretty damn good and he recommended the game otherwise

They rate gameplay and morality seperately, so you dont get " 4.8 too many boobs" reviews, because its a 8.7 gameplay, 5.2 morales for lewdity, violence, and incest and lesbian jokes
Theyre surprisingly down to earth and humble people, as they occasionally find these threads and have good conversation

He displayed a total inability to interact with video games as a medium. Reviewer or not, this was an absolutely embarrassing display for someone whose job it is to be familiar with various aspects of video games.

What you say is true, but that’s not the case here. The journos being complained about don’t even have a good secondary command of the subject, or tertiary for that matter.

The sideline reporter girls at an nfl game are better prepped and researched than these guys.

Not expecting them to be ever able to hit a dragon punch in a game. DO expect them to know the difference between a 2d and 3D fighter. If the sports reporter is confusing soccer with hockey, he deserves to be shat upon.

Also it's surprising how she manages to keep those two things separate. Must be the only time I've seen this sort of reviews not muddled because of the reviewers' personal belief.

Yes he has, as you can clearly see, he praised the shit out of Gone Home. Despite the fact that it's a garbage walking sim that's clearly so inferior compared to everything else out there.

But that's because he's personal friends with the garbage dev that made Gone Home so he's going out of his way to praise this crap out of this garbage while clearing shitting on Danganronpa because he has a agenda against anything anime like most gaming journalists.

They were always bad. At least the gaming magazines had cute girls

Sure, if you an an enlightened egoist and hypocrisy has been revealed to you as a spook, but for the brainlets with moral systems, they usually don't like that sort of thing.

This. At least these religious conservatives don't actively trying to ruin the game or the developer. At most they're trying to do is to ban the game to their region (which, no longer works since the internet age). As long as they don't threaten people on twitter because the devs don't want to change the game to conform to their belief like a certain group of people, I'm okay with them.

>getting this many replies with such shit bait

Porn is, for all intents and purposes, an exercise in what some might call objectification. People are performing sex not out of devotion to the partner, but for the gratification of a viewer. Slinging objectification as a pejorative while still indulging in porn is hypocrisy to most.

There is something I've always wondered about gaming journalism

somewhere, buried beneath all this dogshit are there legitimately good "gaming journalists" who actually like video games? I don't think so, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Autism.

There's traditional game journalists and then there's youtubers
youtubers actually like video games, whether you think they're "good" is up to you

yes, but most of them are on youtube, you have to go out of your way to find them, and they usually only review games they personally like instead of trying to review every big game that comes out.

niche gamer is the only site I can think of

I still stand by Dorito Pope. He had a good idea in trying to get outside advertisers that would free up journalist from being tied to the publishers, but then the advertisers got tied to the publishers, leading to the same outcome for journalists.

Well you objectively can't be expected to be taken as a respected journalist if you don't know what the fuck you are doing.

What about torrent sites, boorus, and this very website? Are those also banned?
I only ask because I am considering a job offer in Korea.

How the hell did you get dumber

read what it says after 3.0.

No, I just expect more complexity in games nowadays, down to basic things like an input you have to make to "run through a loop". Which translates poorly in retrospect, when games were simpler in many aspects.

Your entire comment is absolutely retarded.

Nah, it's just you who's retarded.

Not that user, but I agree with him. You're not looking for complexity, you're looking for something else to blame except yourself.
You literally hold right to go through that loop and there isn't one game that does it any other way unless it's a poorly developed obscure indie game.

But user we live in the digital era, EVERYTHING must be quantified.

>>Citing his own article as proof.

That's basically what gaming journalist did to smear gamergate. With no actual proof, they just kept doing this shit.

Also the same tactic the left uses to smear trump everyday.

How dare you talk back to me.

This is the exact review that made me stop reading reviews.

That isn't complexity, that's control ineptitude, I'd expect that from an early platformer that was still struggling to come up with ways to do cool things so they broke their engine and control scheme.

You are retarded, the system is genius and shows an amazing degree of integrity.
Imagine if all reviewers used a similar system, leftist reviewers could just introduce a "woke score" or something and leave the rest alone. That way Gone Home gets a 9 for wokeness, but a 3 for gameplay like it should. It's the best for consumers, whether they align with the reviewer's ideology or not.
As long as a system like that is implemented, it doesn't matter what are the personal beliefs of the reviewer, whether they are Jesus lovers or tranny allies.

didn't he say he was gonna run for president awhile back? whatever happened to that?

When one of your platforms runs on the statement "We need to keep people away from the moon because if someone throws a moonrock at earth it'll destroy entire cities", you don't have much of a chance.

fuck off you piece of worthless trash """"journalist""""

Want to massage those socked feet desu.

>falling for I was only pretending to be retarded

My guy, what happens if you immediately stop your momentum when you go up a hill? You can't be that dumb

>scores are 5, 6 , 7, 2.5 and 5
>give it a overall score of 3

this is funny considering james portnow had a mental breakdown over gamergate while defending zoe quinn and all the scummy game journalists she fucked.

well it's no secret that gaming journalists can't do math. That's why they are jounralists.

i dont know about journalists doing that but I remember when Etika thought Nero was Dante when dmc5 was announced

>implying he's wrong
Whatshername looking fucking creepy is what sells the whole story. Otherwise it's just another "woe is me this hot animu qt wants my dick !!!".

based

I don't know about you but the relationship in that story was unhealthy no matter how fucked up the faces of the participants.

Games get rated on two scales

how good it is objectively
how good it is morally

Most journalists have a bias and mix the two

> pictures before, during and after the time he claimed he was harassed out of his house and had to live in a hotel

lies upon lies. He never moved anywhere.

When a review site that has a separate ranking for how morally ok the game it in Christianity standars but the actual game review is unbiased and properly researched and edited unlike other “real” sites, you can tell that the standards of the field is garbage.

You can achieve that effect without the whole production looking like cheap unfinished trash
The stills don't really do justice to how shit the whole thing was.

You pay your rent in foreskins, goy.

Don't pretend you don't know the target audience m8.
When Nakamura is a hot anime chick the whole point missses because everyone just goes full

my sister does this and she's only just turning 30 and living in Oregon

Even real ronery fucks probably wouldn't go after goods that damaged.

That's not the controversy was about though and you know it. There's a reason the most picked screenshot for related Yea Forums shitposting is the one where formely attractive manga character looks fucking ugly.

Dude, most people didn't like the entire animation style, not just the fact that half of the characters contracted downs.

remember that thing we all surely did? where you double up on what you wrote previously but in a different wording to pad out space.
these retards are paid like ten cents a word, so more words more moeny.
ignore these fucking morons, thats how they get paid

Wouldnt that make the story more effective though?
The audience is already repulsed by her looks in the show so her fucked up personality doesn't hit as hard.
Just spitballing as I dont know shit about this series

he was literally a pre-quake or something boomer tier old guy.

We're already very well past Weimar

People eat them up. They know they're bad and don't even have to put effort or research in.
"OH MY GOD THEY'RE SO STUPID" is exactly what they want. Why spend time doing proper research when an outrage or troll post does even better?

>Even as a fake troll, she praised herself

Bait

>imagine damage controlling for a games journalist

Most people only read the headline. Lists are basically 10 headlines in a row.

Dean Takahasi is shit at video games in general. There are several links in this thread with shitty gameplay featuring him on this thread.

I can't listen to this

I just can't believe it's real.

Is that the one with the part where the weird girl forces the guy to wear the girl's swimsuit he stole under his clothes while hanging out with her, then she throws a bucket of water on him so the girl can see he stole her swimsuit?

The journo is a pedo defender too.

"Game Journalist" is probably the least respect profession out there.

All those faggots clapping at everything at E3 and lapping all the big studios' shit up constantly should tell you everything there is to know about it.

Why do americans do this? Put the guy that clearly don't like the thing the game is about to talk about the game? The local magazines in my country had the racing dude, the rpg guy, the strategy uncle, etc.

Guaranteed clicks because of manufactured outrage. It's Polygon's and Kotaku's MO.

Americans have the gamer gurrl, the nonbinary g@l, the minority quota and the Steve the "ally".

Anyone else dream about shoving your cock down Anita's mouth?

this is amazing

I remember watching this one morning before going to work and being late because I watched the entire thing and nearly suffocated from laughing

The biggest hungarian vidja gaming review thingy when Dark Souls came out called it a dogshit game because you cant set difficulty and its a hard and unfair game unlike GTA where you can also not set difficulty but its alteast not hard.
Then when everyone called them out on the dogshit review they removed the video and when Dark souls 2 came out they called it a masterpiece gave it their first ever 10/10 out of fear and got called a fucking cuck again for giving that dogshit game a 10/10.
I think that was funny :)

If we're being honest nobody should've given a fuck about Anita and I still don't give a fuck about Anita, I honestly would've preferred that she stayed completely irrelevant to begin with
