Kotaku continues to surprise me with how shit they are

Which is really saying something

>Don't really like horror games
>Have friend in Colorado, am an FL
>He's can be a pretty funny dude
>Get to see my friend play a game I'm never gonna pick up myself anyway every Sunday, Teusday, and Thursday and chat with him.

Don't give these fucks views.

You can't.

Games that are fun and easy, people might play themselves, but any game that is too difficult or requires too much time or effort will be subject to people watching instead of playing. Just think how many Dark Souls fans there are out there that have never even touched one of the games. There's nothing about the games to fix because it's the people that are broken.

There's a difference between you and a friend doing something together and a games 'journalist' writing an article about watching a Let's Play.

>Watching Someone Else Play Resident Evil 7 on Youtube: The Kotaku Review

I don't even know how to react anymore.

I just want these people to accept the fact that doing this is profoundly shameful and makes you a fucking retard.

That's all. Just admit that you're a goober who'd rather watch a game than play a game. Admit that you're too unskilled or retarded. Admit it. Don't hide behind excuses.

This is what we've come to.

This is the future of video gaming.

id to lade, u woden lisen

I watched a no commentary walkthrough because I'd rather do that than spend $60 on it
You can get upset all you want.
You're the ones pirating games

>kotaku reviews a youtube stream of resident evil 7
>polygon will not review nioh because they can't complete it
>game journalism 2017

Every view on a youtube video is a lost sale
Can't you guys see this is madness? we need to stop this or developers are going to stop putting out good games

They are doing this on purpose to get rage clicks, you fuckers are falling for it.

..what the FUCK

This has to be a parody

Is this real?

>Implying Sup Forums clicks on links, even ones the OP provides

We all just assume it's real and post angrily without checking anything.

Why stop it?

unfortunately, going after things like this is bad PR so it will continue until the fad goes away by itself.

What the fuck are these people even doing in this industry? How did they land jobs as bloggers on a subject they clearly have no interest in? What's Kotaku's endgame?

This is incredibly accurate.

>react
Careful, that term's copywrited now.

Why would you want to? This helps kill the sales of "cinematic" games requiring games to sell based on their gameplay.

Holy shit...

We've reached a place where this shit isn't even funny anymore. It's fucking scary.

>polygon can't beat nioh/doom
>kotaku can't beat re7
>most review sites praise cakewalk games so they can beat it quickly to meet embargos
gamejournos people

They are the masters of getting views.

They are just doing stupid shit to piss off normies to go click it, they are smarter than you it seems.

streaming is fine

reviewing ab game via stream is not fine kotaku should have fired this guy for even turning this in if you are not prepared to play games you do not like do not work as a game reviewer

Is this what people do these days? Just sit around and watch video games?

The word you're looking for is nigress.

Did the comment on the controls in the review?

>mfw it's real and 100% serious

How is this a fucking job?
How is it that they are able to keep their jobs doing shit like this?
Why and how is this acceptable?

Unskilled, no barrier of entry, no real standard of quality. Music and movies also have no barrier of entry to reviewing them either, but it's easy to call people out on their shit when they don't know what they're doing. Nobody really respects video games so any moron can write about them and some other slackjaw idiot will read it and take it as gospel.

But video games also take too long to pump out enough articles to get views on so they have to take shortcuts, i.e. not play the games they don't care about anyway.

Worse. They review what they watch instead of the game.

Even if this is a parody, kotaku is not the fucking onion.

Guys, this obviously isn't the actual RE7 review...

>kinja.com/gitasj

HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND
THIS IS VIDYA JOURNALISM'S END

lol I see what you did there

RE7 is a literal walking simulator though so I'm saving $60 by watching a playthrough

Same jumpscares, same areas, etc but it's free.

...

Same wacky douchebag with a forced English accent screaming into your ear as you're playing, we've all been there user. Same exact experience as playing them personally.

>She gets paid for this

Why would you watch one with commentary, retard? The game is a jumpscare simulator, it makes no difference whether I watch it or waste $60 on a 7 hour long piece of shit.

this is probably the only genre of game where the experience between playing and watching is near identical.
there are no decisions to make, you are always forced down a path by locked doorwars. the puzzles solve themselves, you can simple walk past most enemies in the game and the gunplay is trivial.

source: got bored 2.5 hours in

No it wasn't, best SP shootan since Crysis 1

Wasn't Gawker supposed to be shut down because of Hulkamania? Did I miss something in the $110,000,000 lawsuit?

...

Kill yourself shill.

Running around the house with Jack is a pretty open ended mechanic though

In their defense, RE7 is a piece of shit and you will have the same experience watching as you would actually playing it.

You're objectively wrong.
Source: actually played and finished the game.

i watched a lets play, but to be honest when i first began i thought it was going to be a piece of shit game, not one of the best resident evil games ever made.

i feel like marketing let this game down. i really did believe it was going to be some goofy le scare game.

Gawker was, but they needed to compensate the hulkster somehow since they didn't have those kinds of liquid assets, so in order to cover the cost, they sold most of their brands and the ones they couldn't sell closed down.

>Source: Someone who dropped $60 on Outlast 2.5 and has buyer's remorse knowing that I could have watched it on youtube and gotten the same experience

They are just owned by someother huge corporation now. Also i think the site gawker shut down.

I think Kotaku and some other blogs got bailed out or acquired by another company and resumed operation like nothing happened.

>Someone willingly bailed Kotaku out
They need to be shot, whoever they are

This.

no

We all know they don't play the games

>I-iiiii-i-i...i-i-iiiiii's j-just l-like Outlast!!!

Yeah, not an argument, specially because it isn't after the first hour.

It's too late for that.

Go bomb Univision Communications' headquarters

Univision bought it, along with 5 other of their sites

I wasn't going to buy Beaver simulator anyways

so this is the power of diversity in professional video game journalims.

make games with good gameplay then

Just except that not everyone gets a kick out of games these days.
Charismatic commentary on the other hand works.

>Console gamer tries pc

i dunno I thought 7 had great gameplay

>Autistic screeching at me from an user on Sup Forums

holy shit we have the ability to make people click on threads that they will interpret as a personal attack?

well shit im glad moot is gone

Yes, but Gawker sold Kotaku to Telemundo or something

There's a huge difference between playing a game and watching someone else play it. It's an interactive experience where everything can be critiqued from the button layout, response time when opening a door, the movement, everything. It's like a movie reviewer who's friend told him about a movie and he wrote an article about it without first had experiencing it. the worst part is, they're getting paid to play video games and they can't even do that .

I asked my nephew why he watches so many let's plays

he told me it's because my brother (his dad) is too broke to buy him the games half the time, so he just watches them on youtube instead. when my nephew gets together with his group of little kiddy friends, they all watch let's plays and literal barbie doll reviews all day. when it's a rhythm or dance game they dance to the commands on TV like they actually are playing.

if you're a parent and you let youtube raise your kids you're even less responsible than the generation preceding you because at least TV had monitors and was relatively easy to predict the content

at this point i think it's a problem that will get worse, not better. there's too much money in cheating the system. youtubers get rich off of uploading other people's work, people are just fine watching others play instead of playing themselves, and as those two trends get worse, less people will play video games.

>kotaku and polygon will review games they can't play/ finish by watching twitch streams

How often will we see this? Nioh is just around the corner.

>getting paid to do something no one asked for
I don't know if I'm jealous or pissed off
Probably both

The streaming menace must continue unabated. If everyone watches these "games" (movies) instead of buying them, developers will be forced to make actual games.

Don't watch them. It's that simple.

>t. dicklet

The next generation doesn't care though, they watch streamers play all kinds of games because they're watching it mostly for the streamers themselves
All you'll get more of in the future is streamer bait shit like Five Nights at Freddy's

>html 5

this is a joke, right? this isn't real?
