Fantano drones are cancer and because of him the internet has been flooded with braindead teenagers who think they're 'patrician'. Learn to form your own opinion and play the games you actually like instead of slurping youtuber semen like the mindless fucking cocksucker you are.

There are already people like that and this board shits on those people on a regular basis. So what the fuck do you want?
Henry Ross
There are a few decent people who do that, but individual video games are much heftier of a time investment, especially to the point where you understand the game enough to review it in-depth. This means both that fewer of these videos will be made (and thus less games covered) based on how long they take to make, and that people are less likely to even want to cover these kinds of games because nobody wants to put 50 hours into a game they think is a 4/10
I want to beat fantano to death with a hammer. It's like he can't accept people have different opinions than him, and he fucking calls people names too, just because they don't agree with him. I want to kill him so bad.
If there were an Anthony fantano of vidya you'd probably still be asking for an Anthony fantano of vidya because your idea of an Anthony fantano of vidya probably agrees with everything you say. Which is wrong. The Anthony fantano of vidya would agree with everything I say.
>why isnt there any one guy who covers games like this guy covers albums? Gee maybe it's because reviewing an album takes five hours at most, sitting down with a notepad and taking notes while video games are more involved and take ten times as long?

He's an e-celeb for sure Why are you defending a kike faggot like him? He has never made a positive impact on the music industry and yet he just loves to criticize everything like he actually has anything of relevance to say I understand some people will become fans because he makes memes and he seems so down to earth but in reality he is nothing more than another commentary channel that will never day to step out of line and say anything remotely controversial
That's a good thing though? He has next to no knowledge of electronic music, let him stick to rock, metal and rap.

There are a fair few of these critics out there, like Matthewmatosis and Raycevick. And Fantano's opinions can be shitty. In the end however, the best critic is you. Play games and form your own opinions.

current year melon would've given it a 10/10 he just says he hasn't changed his mind to appear consistent as a reviewer
Samuel Walker
He literally has the same opinions of any other pitchfork "journalist." Look up his best albums of the year and then look up pitchforks. It's all nigger shit. This cuck also gave a fucking Billie Ellish album an 8/10. No wonder you're such a Nintendo hater. You think idiots like fantano know more than most fans about entertainment, which is actually the complete opposite. Has this fraud ever even mentioned any period of classical music on his channel? Even once? And no. Neoclassical is a meme. Not a genre.
Not to mention he gave "WE WUZ KANGZ" the album a 10/10. Where a crazy blackie fabricated a fake interview with Tupac and talking back to the recorded clips, as if he was being talked to by Tupac. (Another overrated monkey, mind you). I can go on and on why I hate fantano. I think the worst part is people actually take his opinions seriously when he has the most shallow knowledge of music outside of contemporary English-recorded music. But hes an encyclopedia on the genre of hip-hop. What a genius, right!?

Why do people here sperge so much about hip-hop? It's at its apex of popularity and relevance right now. Music critics reviewing it in mass and giving high scores is no different than Movie critics with marvel films or game critics with GTA, they're just giving what the audience wants.

You're kidding right? Fantano doesn't know anything about music and it comes across as obvious in his reviews. The way he describes things is willfully ignorant of what they are using colloquiums. For example, he will often describe a Fender Twin-style sound with reverb as "SHIMMERING GUITARS" or "CHIMING GUITARS". He will describe a Roland-style digital pad as "ICY SYNTHS" and rack power toms as "BOOMING DRUMS." All he is good at is comparing pieces and albums, but he doesn't actually know what anything is in a vacuum.
There are a fuckton of retards like that already for videogames and people cling to their opinions like crazy. People like Mattmatossis or Egoraptor. And it makes this environment where people form these cabals based on opinion over dumb shit they've seen in videos despite the fact they know absolutely nothing about what's happening in the music or game and instead parrot the lame ideas of other self-appointed critics. Over-criticism has actually ruined games and music. They're just supposed to be minor distractions.

That's not what Drake is to the music industry though.
For me it was the untitled Unmastered review where his only critque was that it didn’t seem like a polished project. That was the whole point of the album asshat
Leo Turner
The problem with video game journalism and why we can't have good reviewers is that games are relatively expensive and gamers are relatively poor. This leads to an obsession with value, tribalism to justify the games you cannot play for reasons of financial sobriety and too many people thinking more about the games they don't play than those they do.
This is why video game reviews are more like reviews of vacuum cleaners than art like music or films. I don't know the solution for this but I know as long as it is the case that we to such a degree consider the price of games rather than its inherent quality we cannot escape it.

That's just not right. Just because I can think for myself it doesn't mean that I won't benefit from a different point of view. Furthermore, if I am enthusiastic about something and a reviewer brings up a technical aspect, I can create new criteria for myself. How is this new knowledge affecting my enjoyment of this? Does it even matter? How does this knowledge change what other works I've already seen? People that don't want to think or hear opinions don't watch reviews. They watch vines or the latest memer youtuber.

Hunter Edwards
The problem is twofold of course. There are reviewers that do not aim to educate.
Jackson Torres
That twitter cap was to do with that guy who was homophobic against the Vox fag. Most Youtubers were worried about even more censorship on their videos from the fallout and loss of revenue while the others said if your against censorship you hate gays. Boogie always throws himself into the drama and makes videos on it without really giving an opinion on what side he's on and just stays on the fence.

>degeneracy Don't you have a zelda doujin ti fal to? How can you talk about degeneracy when you're on an anime imageboard? What a fucking dork.
Nathan Cook
This is another problem with how games are reviewed, you know. A lot of games should probably get 4/10 and the likes, but due to a culture of checkbox style culture of reviewing, games that "work" on a technical level cannot be scored less than say 6/10. What of course should matter is that a game is fun to play and worth using your time on.
Gamers (idiots) simply wouldn't accept a change of approach of this magnitude because gamers are objectivist retards who thinks that which can be branded as technical and factual is necessarily truer than subjective assessments. Games probably could be art but it's not due to the way we treat them.
This is the guy who had a ''alt-right'' sub channel and some shitty journo site did an article on him about it and he backtracked instantly, deleted it and literally gave up his old edge out of fear. Now he sits on twitter complaining about mundane things. Sad.
But user, subjective analysis is worthless. And games are a product, they should never be art. Just like the Avengers movies aren't art, except on the barest of notions.
Isaiah Baker
Not him, and I agree with you, but why bother trying to educate when you can just make a meme review and add some funny stuff and get 2-5000 a month via patreon and youtube money? That's just the way it is.
Brandon Hughes
>ti fal to >Dude straight up starting to sing when ending his sentence. mfw
Objective approaches would probably be better if it were not for the fact that humies experience the world in a fundamentally subjective manner. Straining ourselves to pursue the objective in the fields of science and shit makes a lot of sense, but not when we search for the quality within works of entertainment, art or otherwise.
Parker Barnes
Yea Forums doesnt even like this tard, the last thing we need is a Yea Forums version of him being posted 24/7
Ironic weeb posting has gotten pretty boring though.
Adam Rogers
So he's the ultimate fence rider? What a cunt
Leo Edwards
That's true. Still, giving a AAA game a 6/10 is still seen as a massive fuckup. Even if the game is fully functional and the score reflects that, it's just unimaginable to some people how a game that looks pretty because of millions of dollars invested in it could be not fun to play.
Similarly, Drake is supposed to shit gold because he's popular and if the music industry was as fucked as the vidya industry is fantano wouldn't dare go below a 6 for fear of being ostracized and losing the big boy privileges.
Ian Gonzalez

He's a disingenuous grifter with the most unbearable nice guy facade. 6. He's a professional victim
Joseph Adams
In any field a degree of objectiveness can be achieved. Unless a work is transformative to the genre, objective standards can be used to measure it.
Jacob Richardson
It's just very distracting to the discussion that we start by focusing on the technical aspects. That it works is the bare minimum and you don't see a garbage film get 3/5 because the audio is in sync with the video and it plays uninterrupted from start to finish. Even if we all know that a 7/10 is actually a bad score, it still limits our ability to rightfully shit on bad games, because someone will say "does it not work?" and we will have to concede that we does and unless we waste our time futilely trying to explain why that doesn't really matter that's the end of that. The bad game is then merely not very good and that's really more than most games deserve to go down as.
We truly need some sort of gaming intellectual to fight this fight better than I can and on a level where it could matter.
Josiah Sanchez
>when it's obvious the ref aint buying it but you're in too deep
Joshua Young
He had given up on the edge for a while when he deleted meme reviews
Forget "can", but rather why? Why would you even want to force objectivity into a field that is inherently subjective? You playing a game and whether you have fun or not is a subjective experience.
What you end up doing, since you are of course wrong that everything can be quantified as if we're counting apples, is to overvalue the things that can easily be counted and framed as objective observations and devalue the more important but less tangible aspects.

Objective popularity could of course be a good way to look at it, you can poll people who played it and find some sort of representative consensus or something like that. But what you cannot do is to pry open the game to discover its objective truths.
Brayden Adams
Don't think threatening suicide constitutes a crime, and seeing as he doesn't have kids, he has yet to commit anything illegal on that front either
Connor Williams
Agreed. More of a 5.
Cooper Gutierrez
You can discover the objective truths you set out to find. That's why you establish a set of values before dissecting a game.
Colton Butler
She fucked Nathan Greyson and he gave her positive coverage.
Luke Green
You can indeed create any kind of rigid system of evaluation but that doesn't necessarily make it objective.
Gabriel Foster
Threatening to harm an animal and insinuate you'd molest children who are in your care is pretty fucking heavy stuff my guy.
Liam Baker
It wasn't reviews, it was exposure. And yeah, she didn't DO IT for that, it just turns out one of the guys she used to fucked decided to write an article about her "game".
Matthew Robinson
In case it hasn't become apparent to all of you yet, reviews shouldn't be anything more than a recommendation system for yourself rather than an evaluative process to form your opinions. The latter's up to you. With the former, when you see a consensus of positive evaluations from other people, that should be your signal to consider consuming the same product, basically.
I'll still never understand why others take a critic's reviews to heart and attempt to justify why they personally have taste, when it's different folks picking and curating that for you.
But he didn't say having white males in his audience was bad, just that it'd be nicer to reach a broader scope of people. And all of this was in response to a tweet. He specifically said he wouldn't replace any of his subscribers if he could.
Michael Roberts
sure but not illegal
Brody Cox
Ralph reviewing games last year was an extremely pleasant surprise.
Noah Reed
It was a shit vid, quit sucking his cock
Brayden Thomas
It's pretty despicable, yes. He's an unsalvageable PoS. It's not illegal tho
Jaxson Sullivan
>implying Yea Forums is not theneedledrop for neets who like to larp being edgy
Levi Anderson
The animal thing I can let slide as a slap on the wrist but the children molestation? Fucking hell.
He makes himself the victim in all of it too. He says that it's only because he himself was molested by his mother that he'd repeat the cycle of abuse on his own kids
Jace Brooks
I'm not, but I can't tell if people on this board just read video titles like they do headlines.
William James
That's the kind of thing you shouldn't even address.
Ryan Cox
it will never happen because gaming is full of pussies trannies and faggots now enjoy your fortnite fuckers
>just that it'd be nicer to reach a broader scope of people Why? Aren't all humans equal regardless of the race (which doesn't exists and is just a "social construct")? Why are lefitsts such a disgusting bunch of hypocrites?
Ayden Adams
>Regardless, can you imagine if a big reviewer like gamespot gave battlefield 5 a 4/10? I don't need to. I still remember Kane & Lynch.
Matthew Anderson
Sure but what's wrong with wanting to reach more people? He isn't advocating for white genocide, you kinda just jumped the gun for the sake of saying that last bit.
Nolan Green
What point are you even trying to make
Jace Thompson
No man haven't you been paying attention the "we're all human" unified experience shit is so 90's. If you say that now you're a racist. It's all about intrinsic unrecognisable differences now. Identity is everything. A black person sees the world in a fundamentally different way to a white person.
Zachary Barnes
>full of pussies trannies and faggots now thats fantanos viewerbase now though so what youre saying he has a chance
Robert Morris
Who gave it a 4? It's really not a good game though.
Joshua Kelly
>Sure but what's wrong with wanting to reach more people? He did? Saying that you want a more racially diverse audience isn't saying that, it's saying that you want more people of certain specific races, i.e. discriminating people based on race. You are the guys saying that race isn't real and shouldn't be used to differentiate people.
Nathan Baker
Gamestop. They then fired the guy who did it and it all blew up.
Aiden Robinson
Wheres the screencaps of him sperging over anime and loli girl avatars, it makes him seethe
Easton Torres
You're lumping me with some crowd that I'm not apart of. I literally have no idea what you're talking about. If someone says race isn't real then they're stupid.
Brody Nguyen
This guy would fit right in at polygon. Gun grabbing faggot
Jayden Thompson
fag
Michael Bailey
Why are whiteknighting a guy you fundamentally disagree with? Or maybe it's me who misunderstood Fantano, isn't he a typical leftist? Isn't he a "we are all one race, the human race" kind of guy?
Ayden Phillips
Fun fact that's how giant bomb started. Before it became what it hated and is currently suffering a quiet slow death
Luke Powell
Saying he'd like an audience of all races doesn't mean he doesn't want more whites, bruh. It means he'd like to reach out and have influence with more groups
Owen Moore
and now he runs giant bomb, where they... make youtube videos giving their untethered opinions about popular video games
Kevin Johnson
Because he has no spine and didn't want to lose his precious way of life over standing up for someone. I wonder if he feels a similar way after his "comedy" channel was taken down that was an obvious new age version of inspiration of early mde and t&e
Robert Lee
I'm not whiteknighting for him, I'm just fed up that people on this board read a headline or title of something they don't like and then there's a chance they'll repost that for months and months.
Christian Bailey
>It means he'd like to reach out and have influence with more groups Why are you/he grouping people based on race, if discriminating people based on race is morally wrong and actually races do not exists?
So did he or did he not say that he's annoyed that his audience is made up of mostly just white people?
Liam Nelson
People already group themselves based on race, acknowledging that doesn't make you a racist
Isaac Smith
>You are the guys saying that race isn't real and shouldn't be used to differentiate people. The left (or any group for that matter) don't all have one single opinion. This is what a strawman actually is. Stop it.
Bentley Cook
>tries to relate to "hard right, time to fight" Sam Hyde by talking about how his father was an army man >Sam goes into detail about how he would physically beat his father Was so fucking funny, to his merit fagtino only bitched out at him once and gave Sam the time of day which no one wants to do because he's a fucking asshole
Liam Hernandez
>trying to fight the hivemind strawman Just don't man, everyone is a tranny or a leftie and they are all exactly the same with the same beliefs
Nicholas Bell
he gave the OOZ by king krule a 4 and he gave 22, a million by bon iver a 5 pitchfork gave both of them 9s Ever since then, pitchfork became my go-to for music reviews
Zachary Perry
Not exactly like him but someone with good taste.
Cameron Long
I feel like father john misty is well aware of how pretentious he comes off as so he plays along with it because his fanbase of art hoes love that shit
Christopher Foster
But the race-denialist position is extremely common on the left, to the point many would consider a race realist position to be enough to not being able to label oneself as a leftist. If Fantano has expressed a clear race realist position, I can't but admit to have been wrong during this discussion. Is that the case?
>People already group themselves based on race, acknowledging that doesn't make you a racist Discriminating people based on race makes you a racist. It's not hard.
Jonathan Robinson
Melon has mentioned classical music before on his channel though it is clear he doesn't take too much interest in it
Nathan Powell
If you follow him consistently, you'd know he's not really a good critic or even a good reviewer.
Levi Turner
Most people recognized it as a down album for FJM. I Love You, Honeybear is fantastic though. As much as he tries to be be pretentious, ILYH is just go goddamn sincere.
Joseph Bailey
There are three eras of fantano pre 100k subs fantano where he literally did not give a shit what anyone thought of his reviews, so he gave albums like the weeknd's house of balloons a 3/10 and MBDTF a 6/10 Then there's post 100k pre-fader fantano where he was actually a pretty funny and tolerable dude on the internet, his meme review channel was blowing up and he was getting a lot of attention, his podcast had guests like sam hyde, though it was getting more evident that he started tailoring scores so that he could probably get more views Then there's post-fader fantano, who after getting a hit piece written on him, basically cut ties with sam hyde, deleted his meme channel, started talking like a white girl on twitter and shilling music like ariana grande and billie eilish, and generally acted like a little bitch
Camden Fisher
I agree. I feel like such a boomer whenever I hear kids spout shit like "lowkey" and "big mood". Some conversations I hear literally degenerate to two-syllable exchanges nowadays and it's appalling
Jack Myers
Not much different from the surfer culture.
Julian Howard
Angry Joe.
James Green
You did dumb shit as a kid, too. So did everyone. Chill out
Cooper Ward
>Knowwatmsayin' This one is the worst.
Julian Cook
What's his name again?
Isaac Diaz
He's pretty big. I met him and he was thick and probably about 6'4", maybe a little bit shorter since he was wearing boots.
Joshua King
Quarrelsome Quintero
Nolan Allen
Indignant Ignácio
Owen Gonzalez
It's kinda amazing how he did a full 180 after that hit piece arrived, his entire behavior changed.
Jack Cook
unironically jed pressgrove But most people here will probably dismiss him as bad-at-games because he gives their favorite game a bad review and dropped its Metacritic 3 points.
quarter to three is also ok
Noah Gonzalez
One of the problems with being like him is that you have to spend a lot of money on games and spend a lot of time playing them before you can start getting review copies and stuff like that. It's just a really expensive and time consuming hobby and someone like me who could probably review shit decently doesn't have as much time to invest in it as opposed to something like a music album like Fantano does
exactly this. i want to fucking beat the shit out of anthony fantano so hard and so fucking savagely that i accidentally kill him. i want to unleash my rage and hatred for him and have it be so terrible that i kill him without realizing or intending to.
Mason Perez
>we need someone like this fucker to rise into the gaming world and give actual untethered opinions about popular video games Why do you need an e-celeb's opinion or validation on something? Why can't you make your own opinions?
>im really sick of game installments getting automatic uncontested 9s and 10s across the board simply because doing anything otherwise is an unspoken taboo in the corporate dick-sucking industry Why do you care about what game gets what score? How is an arbitrary number formed by other people's opinions going to effect how you experience or enjoy the game? Literally why do you care about imaginary 9s and 10s? Are you that vapid of a person that you can't decide what games you actually enjoy yourself and need to rely on some e-celeb or journalist's payed OPINION to come to a conclusion on what you can and can't enjoy? Who the fuck gives a shit about scores? There's supposed "5/10s" that are some of the most fun games ever while there's "9/10 GOTYAYs" that are fucking trash.
Also you have to compete with people who get the games before you and have their reviews out at launch while your review drops a week or two later once you beat the game. My buddy has a review channel that's pretty good but he doesnt have devs and publishers sending him early copies so his reviews are always weeks after all the big names have dropped their reviews. He mostly does it for fun though so it doesnt bother him. He also said indie devs will send him early copies sometimes but that's it.
John Wilson
poseur
Jackson Martin
Find a reviewer who likes what you like. If they like something you'll probably like it too.
>had a fun alternate channel where he reviewed memes and did other ironic shit >fader writes a hit piece on him calling him a racist >deletes the channel and doubles down on being a preachy leftist for fear of ever getting called “alt-right” again
Fuck journalists and fuck Fantano.
Camden Ramirez
>unironically praising the melon Or, even worse >Ironically praising the melon
Jonathan Diaz
yeah, the best part is when he got called out by nyannyancosplay and his brain malfunctioned so he resorted to white knighting her, even his followers made fun of him for that
Nah, left was always about class conflict, nothing else, which meant instead of going "Kek, at least I'm not a nigger" in the chain gang they actually did something about the chains. The nu era corporate "left" had nothing to actually fight for except for a glorious Clinton rein and got swamped with dodgy cunts so they deserved to get btfo. Most "hectic left" opinions are just clever righty strawmen experts and sockpuppets doing their thing
John Gray
Let's be honest, if we had a Fantano for vidya, he'd also be giving Mario and Zelda 10s.
Jonathan Phillips
That's nice grandpa.
Carson Bell
i guess he just realized that's what he had to do in order to keep his channel around.
Austin Anderson
>But the race-denialist position is extremely common on the left Please stop confusing liberals with the left in general.
Josiah Jones
>I purchase his leaked tracks for money, therefore I have objective taste
Owen Peterson
this.
Matthew Parker
Oof

Keep this corporate mutt ugly fucking kike in Yea Forums where he belongs. Like the dirty subhuman trash you are.
Robert Reed

No, we do not need drones who can't articulate or think for themselves parroting a popular person's opinion in every thread. Go get fucked. All fields, nigger.
