It's Time To Start Trusting Video Game Reviewers

It's Time To Start Trusting Video Game Reviewers

Its time to start hanging video game reviewers off telephone poles.

trust the people that gave:

God Hand a 3/10
Alien: Isolation a 5.9/10
Prey a 7/10
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 a 8.5/10
Battlefield 2042 a 7/10
Starfield a 7/10

how do you faggots even find this articles? are actively looking for it?

and Deathloop a 10

OP is the gamer

Deathloop was really fun faggot, not a 5/5 but a solid 3.5-4/5.

Also actually you can trust game reviewers, you just need to find someone who fits your tastes. Let‘s say there is a reviewer, where 90% of the time you agree on what he says it would be dumb not to trust him.

Prey a 7/10

Starfield a 7/10

Alien: Isolation a 5.9/10

These are fair though

you said it yourself
not a 10. and definitely not better than prey

Shouldn't have used the most overrated game of all time if the article is trying to restore credit.

Most posts here are self-promotion.

Trust needs to be earned.
Doubly so when it's been broken so often.

Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're not. I think the issue is a lot of them grade too high. E.g. the floor for a well polished AAA game seems to be an 8 at a lot of outlets (or an equivalent score) which is ridiculous

Solid filth, the kind big enough to clog Paris' humongous sewer system. Unfortunately they come to Anon Babble instead thinking their shit opinion and contrarian views will be identified as exquisite display of refined taste. I say with honesty that the world would be better with you lot dead.

least insane god hand fanboy

The gall of this fucker to make it about himself.

Does anyone even read reviews of anything anymore? I haven't for years, if there's something I'm interested in I just look up gamplay from a third party and decide based off that if it's worth playing. I haven't sought out anyone's opinion about a game for years outside talking about a game I already like. I thought this was how everyone did it?

they all gave death stranding middling reviews but then backpedaled and said it was a 10/10 after it turned out much of the audience loved it. it is one thing to give a bad score, but backpedaling is cowardly and does not inspire trust or confidence in the review. did they backpedal to save face? did they write the initial review for what they expected players to want/enjoy? what was it? have shit takes and stand by them, that is far more trustworthy and respectable than just saying whatever you think will get you paid. i can read a review about a piece of media from someone who hates everything i like and still know whether or not that media is something i want to consume or not, because i can deduce that the things that make a piece of media for a person like that are things that would make it good for me. but if you just lie about everything, trying to get your next paycheck and keep readers engaged, then i can never trust anything you say. there is no solid foundation to build an understanding of where you are coming from when you speak about a piece of media.

inb4 pandemic recontextualized the plot/vibe for them

inb4 they got it on pc and liked it

inb4 people are allowed to change and grow

inb4 it was different reviewers for the same publications

none of this matters. they gave death stranding a bad score and then changed their mind after everyone already loved it. they are gay.

is that someone with a different opinion? HOW DARE YOU???? YOU NEED TO DIE!!!!!

it’s time to trust video game reviewers

said the video game reviewer

People watch reviews solely to feel good about their purchases which is why they only flip their shit whenever something gets a score below 7 or 8 out of 10
No one watches them to actually inform themselves, it's all about validating a decision that had already been made

Predictable copy pasted nu-Anon Babbleermin's gotcha post. The spark of genius and life of this board was snuffed the day you retarded mongoloids poured from a breach made possible by the normie based internet. It's very much like if your post was a wojak picture in the form of a sentence.

shartyshit

CALLED IT
It's the mighty underage + brown combo

I keep forgetting fandom-wars exist, somehow I just expected them to remain a relic of the 10's. Sad!

posting old articles

they all gave death stranding middling reviews but then backpedaled and said it was a 10/10 after it turned out much of the audience loved it

DS landed in the 80s on Metacritic and was nominated for a bunch of awards. Some outlets were cold on it, other outlets were highly positive on it

No one watches them to actually inform themselves

I do :(
Which is very cool because every review is written for the drooling consoomers like you said.

God hand is fucking shit, why do capcultists always gas up these D list capcom games they all range from shit to mid. Lost planet sucks, god hand sucks, rival schools sucks, Asura’s wrath sucks, fuck you

how would he post new articles when journos dont exist anymore

The entire "grifter" campaign was started by these fuckers trying to undermine Youtubers.
Are some YTers telling lies for profit? Yes.
Are all Video Game Websites telling lies for profit? Yes.

Written like a true shill

For me it's how Asmongold will hype up a game for over a year, play it for maybe five or six hours tops, then never talk about it again

I never read reviews and anyone who seriously does is incapable of thinking for themselves. I see a game that looks interesting, I look up a gameplay video without some faggot giving a useless commentary, and decide from there.

Yeah he is the flagship fraudster. It's pretty sad that all the influence has changed hands from controlled spaces (the old media) to controlled personalities like him. I also think it's hilarious that his entire thing is him watching other people's videos.
The one I really don't like is Smash JT

Any "personality" streamer is hardly a personality. They live in their bubbles surrounded by sycophantic chats. I wish everybody who worshipped these people could see them have one interaction irl where they're treated like a nobody and see how quickly the veneer of their superiority and charisma fades away. They're all literally emotionally stunted man children that got lucky enough to be the first ones in an industry that blew up largely because of COVID exposing mainstream audiences to streaming culture.

Probably just popped up in their twitter or r*ddit feed
