Well, we've already reached the point where video game "journalism" mostly consists of people's ****** blogs where they "review" games by overanalyzing the first five minutes and then having a contest to see how many tired memes they can fit in. Where to next?

Don't forget all the astroturfing to insure those 4/5 and 80-90s

Same with today's humor content.

They also had a picture where they investigated reviewers on their steam accounts to see how long they played the game.


The majority of them didn't even play the game for an hour.

“This game was designed to be played by Let’s Players to stream so the gameplay random, weird, and ****** ."
“This game has a new game mode in multiplayer. SO INOVATIVE!”
“This game is free to play, so buy bank slots, characters, and speed ups.”
“This game isn’t a FPS. IT’S SOOOO INOVATIVE!”
“This game is like a movie with a in-depth cool story and sweet visuals. But it plays like a ****** N64 game.”
“This game is the next game in the ____Insert brand here_____ series. AND WE MADE SO MUCH INOVATIONS!!!! CA-CHING!!!!”
“This game was made by the people who made ____Insert Brand Here____ so buy it.”
"This game has an app that lets you think about the game while you are not at your home."
"Buy this soda, get game codes."

at the risk of sounding like a fag, who is this guy?
#98 to #79 - anon (07/26/2014) [-]
Geoff Keighley. He’s a game journalist. This photo of him with Halo 4 Mountain Dew Dorito’s was highly criticized for the blatant product placement. It kicked off a whole discussion about game journalists being paid by corporations and gaming becoming “All about money, and not about the games.” It sums up the current game industry quite well.

“Lets put game codes in chips and soda because these nerds will buy that **** . And then we’ll make mandatory DLC and season passes. ALWAYS ONLINE! CANT TRADE GAMES! PAY TO BE ABLE TO USE BOTH JOYSTICKS!!!!” –The People making games in 2010-20**-

The Yahtzee and Critcal Miss are both Escapist


And Yahtzee doesn't wear a suit jacket or a tie
#93 to #3 - yuukoku (07/26/2014) [-]
I watched one of his let's plays and he's admitted that fedoras are now neckbeard-y and that he's stopped wearing it, although he keeps it in the show because it's now his thing, which is kinda sad. He started his reviews when fedoras were sort of okay to wear. Y'know, before the autistic 30-year-old men stole it as their trademark. I really do hate that those hats are now neckbeard-y.

I still love ZP.
User avatar #7 to #3 - dremnus (07/25/2014) [-]
This is from escapist so that's probably intentional.

Whoa the buddy. Do you know how many people you spooked with that comment?
User avatar #6 - radiated (07/25/2014) [-]
then there are those video game commentators trying so hard to be funny.

>kotaku
>game news

sure the onion is also a reputable news source.
#25 to #14 - blancka (07/25/2014) [-]
They get their news in a timely fashion for the most part. Unfortunately it's got some of the worst writers out there. But the news is still there.
#24 - Tazdingo (07/25/2014) [-]
ITT: post yf when you see newfags hopelessly trying to reeducate gamers not to be sexist, racist, homophobic or elitist only to be met with ridicule, holocaust jokes and 'git gud'.

Nope, the Nostalgia Critic is doing bad movie reviews, not bad game reviews.
User avatar #27 to #2 - maternation (07/25/2014) [-]
But his reviews are bad now too.
#9 to #2 - exceeding ONLINE (07/25/2014) [-]
Thanks for the random fact.
It's Yahtzee

Angry Joe's the real MVP.
#74 to #51 - anon (07/26/2014) [-]
until he stoped reviewing games ...
User avatar #80 to #51 - azraelthemage (07/26/2014) [-]
If only he actually reviewed games these days. Seriously, dude hasn't reviewed a game in months.
#52 to #51 - bendingtimeisgood ONLINE (07/26/2014) [-]
He's my favorite reviewer for good games, but Yahtzee is my favorite for bad games.
User avatar #56 to #52 - vortexrain (07/26/2014) [-]
Looks like I've found a new reviewer to watch.
User avatar #58 to #56 - bendingtimeisgood ONLINE (07/26/2014) [-]
His reviews are called Zero Punctuation, and they're not on his channel. They're on a channel called Escapist.
User avatar #59 to #58 - vortexrain (07/26/2014) [-]
Thanks.
User avatar #49 - unusualmoo (07/26/2014) [-]
Correction, the 10's is "That game you like is 9.5/10 like skyrim with guns."

I ******* hate this generation's of game journalists
#16 to #8 - anon (07/25/2014) [-]
Never heard of Total Biscuit?
User avatar #40 to #16 - IamSofaKingdom (07/26/2014) [-]
I can't enjoy TB. He is such an asshat it just bothers me the whole time I try to watch or listen. I like ProJared a lot and Arin occasionally has a great Sequelitis (the Megaman one was amazing) and Nostalgia Critic is generally pretty good even if he goes a little more extreme than necessary to be comedic.
#26 to #16 - blancka (07/25/2014) [-]
TB is one of the few game journalists I'd call good. Him, Jim sterling and a few others. I haven't found any site for gaming news that I fully enjoy though.
User avatar #41 to #16 - IamSofaKingdom (07/26/2014) [-]
Oh, I forgot I do like Angry Joe to, well, back before he did more Let's Plays than reviews lol.
User avatar #22 to #8 - tauntaun (07/25/2014) [-]
ProJared is pretty good if you consider him a game journalist
#66 - kinginyellow (07/26/2014) [-]
I really just use metacritic for stuff because it's good to see a full spectrum of reviews, then I look over the lowest and highest reviews because they sort of give a balance between exaggeration in the good and bad sense, and sometimes it's easier to tell if the reviewer was just wrong if 15 other sources say the opposite. Even then I don't mind because I like most games if they have decent gameplay, I've only ever taken a few games back to the store and those were the worst things I've played.

Btw, I'd say never use user reviews, a lot of the time they seem to be flooded by fans or people who didn't like the game, and the user score seems to tip entirely to 100 or 0.

And also, Zero Punctuation is good for lowering standards or pointing out the worst in games, but still watch other reviews because it's still subjective.

Biscuit for PC and Joe for consoles.
User avatar #83 to #73 - lunarfox (07/26/2014) [-]
hopefully Total Biscuits cancer loses.
Those three are the only game reviewers that actually put in effort and it would suck to lose any of them to that.

Biscuit has cancer?
User avatar #101 to #100 - lunarfox (07/26/2014) [-]
On April 30th 2014, TotalBiscuit announced that he had been diagnosed with colon cancer

Jesus thats not the best.

Hes been reacting well to the chemo so far thankfully.
The side effects should kick in soon which means less videos but hes not letting it get him down.
He has two or three videos about it
#90 to #83 - megayoming (07/26/2014) [-]
The internet would die a little.
User avatar #84 to #73 - norkas (07/26/2014) [-]
Yahtzee is a Caustic Critic who focuses on the negative of a game.

Don't get me wrong, I like his videos, they just aren't a trustworthy source of info and are better for entertainment.

red is my favourite colour

Uhhh... Was this supposed to make anyone laugh?

yes, however, it is for a select audience.
User avatar #87 to #86 - thegrayfox ONLINE (07/26/2014) [-]
I don't know man... I've been playing video games for 18 years now, and I have no idea why this is supposed to be funny.
User avatar #89 to #87 - sabcy (07/26/2014) [-]
you need to have played for 30 years and have payed attention to gaming journals.
User avatar #99 to #89 - thegrayfox ONLINE (07/26/2014) [-]
They're garbage.

what do you expect from the whiny hipsters
User avatar #63 - konradkurze (07/26/2014) [-]
if you let other people form your opinion of something , youre retarded

the best way to get your own idea about a game is watch gameplay shots on youtube and weigh it up "is this something id play"...if so, download that game and play it to see if you actually do like it
#28 - ilikepatatas (07/25/2014) [-]
the 14's
That game you don't like is [pay 20000 dollars to continue] actually not ba-*pays 10000 more* i mean REALLY GOOD!
DON'T FORGET TO BUY ALL THE DLC SINCE ITS ACTUALLY NECESSARY TO KEEP PLAYING WOOO! MOUNTAIN DEW AND DORITOS FOR EVERYONE! ONLY 2.99$ FOR THE MOUNTAIN DEW AND DORITOS "BUSY GAMER" PACKAGE!
and sadly, the audience loves it...
