Her whole argument is that because of the way video game reviewing assignments work in games journalism combined with the massive difficulty barrier for Fromsoft games in general, the only people really reviewing the game in mainstream journalism are people who are already biased towards really liking it, so it’s not surprising that it’s receiving such tremendous praise. She argues it was basically inevitable. Your thoughts?
Is she right about why Elden Ring got so many good reviews?
journos know giving dark souls low scores will trigger autistic backlash on the same level of the twilight princess incident
I don't care about what holes think
>hole gives opinion
zzzzzz
The whole review structure for videogames is beyond retarded. They're toys.
>the massive difficulty barrier
Women don't play video games.
It is receiving tremendous praise because it is a very well made game. Really in depth, large with lots of content and it takes the best parts of the fromsoft games formula while eliminating the worse parts.
>woman
>opens mouth for purpose other then my pen0r going inside it
I sleep
Don't care about gay reviews. I don't trust critics and I don't even trust user reviews even more because they review bomb games for reasons that have nothing to do with the gameplay. I watch footage and read about games to come to decide whether I will like them or not.
Her hole argument becomes
>It's gatekept so only those beyond the gate, rightfully so, can enjoy and critique the fruits of their patience as a collective.
Gatekeeping is neccessary and sorts itself out.
I would agree if ER wasn't the easiest souls game to get into and had a crumb of difficulty. People who are inexperienced with souls will use ashes, summons, etc. and blast through the experience. These people praise the game even more than people used to souls as this is their first true exposure to the formula they can digest and enjoy and everyone loves their first souls game.
>holes
Ok little boy, time for bed. The grown ups
are talking.
tits or gtfo
She's right but it's better than when back in the day when the big gaming sites would give any random employee certain games to review.
Imagine if it was still like that today, Elden Ring would exclusively get 10s and 5s kek
>the only people really reviewing the game in mainstream journalism are people who are already biased towards really liking it
So the same group of people that are more likely to nitpick finer details and balance issues as opposed to people who don't know what they're getting into and complain the game is too hard?
Sounds like a good opinion.
t.boomer who sucks at these kinds of games and doesn't play them.
It's sad that she actually has a better opinion then the dark souls 4 fags itt.
> massive difficulty barrier for Fromsoft games in general
>it's the easiest game in the series
>massive difficulty barrier
lmfao COPE
>t.
Who cares about a hoe opinion on anything?
She’s not wrong, but it’s not really a problem. Souls shit has memed its way into a genre in the eyes of normies. It’s stupid to assign a review to someone who dislikes a genre. So sure, souls being its own genre results in inflated review scores despite general mediocrity and glaring flaws like the trash camera. But it doesn’t matter unless your a fucking loser who seethes over review scores all day. Anyone with a brain can piece together if they should buy a game based on a few gameplay videos
Based. Women are children and their opinions don't matter.
shes just preemptively coping that god of war will be a shitty walking simulator that gets btfo'd by miyazaki
That's true of every single game which is why "reviews" are pointless. Who do you think reviews moviegames at major publications, people who hate moviegames? Who reviews strategy games, people who hate strategy games?
is she fucking retarded?
People who like these sorts of games think this game is a particularly good example and recommend others should try it.
That is how it should work.
Fucking stupid fucking bitch.
If the only journalists that are somewhat good at games all like Souls games then the high review scores seem pretty fair.
Furthermore they aren't supposed to score the game after if they "liked" it but be fucking objective.
Also fuck this bitch. She traced Sekiro fanart, posted it as her own, got called out and threw a massive fit. She's an absolute cunt.
>inflated review scores
The review scores aren't inflated. A game can have flaws and also be an amazing game. Pointing out flaws while ignoring the bigger picture just makes you a pedantic faggot that nobody likes associating with.
When will we see her tits?
Based Kangaroo
3 FUCKING MIDROLLS???
THREE GOD DAMN ADS???
Why the long face
My thoughts are that she's retarded.
>video game reviewing assignments work in games journalism
>the only people really reviewing the game in mainstream journalism are people who are already biased towards really liking it,
That's not how it works at all. Plenty of reviews had journalists saying they usually dislike souls or couldn't get into it before, but can with er.
Also, most reviews arent a to b playthroughs, but sampled from various saves in various sections of the game. Making her argument further ridiculous, as she doesn't know how it works.
Also, ER has the biggest amount of crutches available, making it the most accessible.
And last but not least: her argument would literally go for any game slash genre. So all games would get tremendous praise. From racing games to jrpgs. S
She's retarded and so is op who just came here to get arguments to throw against her.
>I enjoy these kinds of games
>Here is my review for it
>"Wow, this person who likes a genre/games I like says its good, so maybe I'll enjoy it too"
I mean, are journalists not suppose to give it good reviews because it's a bad racing game or some shit?
She is probably the most untrustworthy shill out there, I wouldn't bother listening to what she has to say considering she played the game once and then move to next thing as she usually does.
>she
>her
>she
Please, cry more because I insulted your mediocre franchise that STILL can’t have a working camera for an enemy larger than a human. Really minor problem in your combat game lmao
Yea im a video game writer. How did you know?
Alanah Pearce is disgusting. She's cashed a check from every major player in the industry and every word out of her mouth is industry apologism.
>I would not give this game a 10/10
>I think this is the best game ever made
>tee hee
Literal back to back sentences. Why are women like this?
I don't disagree that the camera is a problem but to say the entire series is mediocre and undeserving of praise because of it makes you sound like a moron.
Yes.
user, there's no reason to pretend that a cunt is a tranny. She's already a widely hated bitch and you'll lose that insult if she were a man.
How the fuck does this even happen? No really. What has she wrote in the past? Has she really became a top writer just by being hot?
Get your brain checked out, bro. Even if she was a he, he'd be above your pedigree
post her cyberpunk acting
Prove it.
As usual.
The reason elden ring got good reviews is because fromsoft front load their content and journalists play videogames for 10 hours
what's liberty mutual's stake in elden ring?
How old are those pics? damn she looks so old now certainly past her prime already.
With Liberty Mutual, you can even do it all on the go from the mobile app.
this argument falls apart when you apply it to other types of games
Imagine if someone who didn't like driving sims or cars in general had to review a driving sim game, the review would be fucking awful
I don't give a fuck about reviews but if I'm to pay attention to a review then the reviewer should at least be competent in the genre they're playing
Literally 100% of all trannies in media proclaim their minority for pity, money, social points, etc. That's a mathematical certainty. This bitch cashes in on everything she can.
Its been said that shes been writing privately for a few years and sent things to companies, somehow these private writings got her a Job with God of War Devs and she will be the writing for whatever game they are working on AFTER God of War 2
I really have no faith in her writing but time will tell I guess
>actual simps on Yea Forums
pathetic
How do I unsubscribe from your blog, Alanah? I don't care about what you think, and am only reminded you exist because you post here
>What has she wrote in the past?
Shitty game journo articles. Apparently enough to write for the God of War sequel.
She probably has a "slept my way to my job" skeleton in her closet.
Is it really that easy?
I never said that’s the only reason it is mediocre, you fucking idiot, but I’m not here to talk about my opnions on the franchise, no matter how much a tangential reference to it assblasts you. Sorry I don’t love a series so reliant on combat but with incredibly basic mechanics and unsatisfying responsiveness (roll requires release of a button because of run). You’ll find a way to cope with it, I’m sure. Posting through it doesnt seem to be helping though
>write for the God of War sequel.
no, shes writing the companies next game, not GoW2
>and it takes the best parts of the fromsoft games formula while eliminating the worse parts.
>while eliminating the worse parts.
I SAID EXACTLY THAT ON THE FUCKING RELEASE DAY BUT NOOOOOOOOOO FROMFAGGOTS JUST KEPT SPAMMING GIT GUD
>Thor Ragnarok dev team.
Well, that would be fairly recent.
Why would I listen to a woman?
The God of War pic is from last year
>I mean, are journalists not suppose to give it good reviews because it's a bad racing game or some shit?
Matthewmatosis was right, Sekiro is an awful racing game.
Im 2 and half minutes in and her tits are still not out.
Give me one good reason to keep watching
No shit they're going to let the most qualified person they have on staff review the game. That would be retarded if they didn't. She's giving absolutely no credit to the people reviewing the games to be professional and objective. She's immediately just assuming they're all biased because they are the most qualified to review the game due to them already enjoying and beating previous fromsoftware games. I don't even think Elden Ring is that great but I can't believe how condescending someone can be to just assume the people who reviewed the games have no objectivity to them.
Also, doesn't she work for Sony now? Sony has to be seething internally right now about what a colossal flop Horizon Forbidden West was compared to Elden Ring. I'm sure this is something their PR team has come up with to cope.
Who gives a fuck what she thinks?
