Cuphead reviewer targeted by alt right

This is his apology: blaming random political figures and calling people shitlords.

>Another game journalist (and some say “shitlord”) saw my video. He clipped it to the 2.5 minutes of the most damning inept gameplay, and he posted it to his followers. He used me to condemn all game journalists, raising the smoldering issues around gamgate and its focus on game journalism ethics. His post was political propaganda for the disenfranchised gamers, the sort who went from geemergate to the alt-rlght and elected DonaId Trump as president.


Instead of an apology he decides to blame drumpf and a movement that ended about 3 years ago

venturebeat.com/2017/09/08/the-deanbeat-our-cuphead-runneth-over/amp/

he's talking about IMC who's actually a retard

Literally who?

Gamers elected Trump president. I don't like it any more than you do, but that's what happened.

Post yfw you're not Dean Takahashi.

Gamers are still predominantly liberal, regardless of what vocal minorities like Sup Forums would have you believe.
The bulk of Trump's voters were blue collar Cletuses.

reminder 10 years ago Dean Takahashi wrote an outstandingly negative Mass Effect review and it was later revealed he played the game without using Talents

...

>IMC randomly brings up GG to make fun of Takahashi and gaming journalists
>somehow it's Takahashi's fault that people keep talking about GG

>a pro gamer journalist is exposed as unable to play games
>OMG THEY ARE RACIST NAZI
top journalism there Dean.

where where you when affermative difficulty was added to games

>paid professional game critics use the "LE POL BOOGERMAYN" excuse

Welcome to life, inept person someone keeps job for decades, when called out blames someone else.

It's always happened, just now these shitters have a bigger platform to be worthless on and well, get excused for it

>He clipped it to the 2.5 minutes of the most damning inept gameplay
Nigga literally failed to get past the first level after 26 minutes, all of the gameplay was the most inept gameplay

>it's time to stop shaming people for being bad at games

My girlfriend is fucking awful at video games and I've never shamed her once.

That's because she's not a goddamn "gaming journalist", faggot.

All he was doing with that literal novel of a whiny ass poor me article was proving all the gamer gaters completely correct. Passion or skill isn't important, your political views are, and it's killing the industry.

Would you rather be Dean Takahashi or Anthony Burch?

What a fucking scumbag

>unlike the heat that Google endured after firing James Damore
poor fucking Google huh
jesus christ

>have the operational IQ of a peanut
>blame it on drumpf

Woah... So this is the power of gaming journalism...

They didn't take a beating. Everyone with a pulpit defended them and broadcast it across the news.

...

The funny part is that he's so irrelevant and such a joke that this was the best content he could come up with and posted it himself in hopes of "being funny".

Someone post the bird webm please

got u senpai

>people say mean things about you on the internet
>"wow, time for claims of victimization and worldwide celebrity!"

Okay.

...

he doesn't really have a platform though besides other shitty gaming journalist sites. This isn't goobergate and he isn't black or a woman or anything so he seems to be getting shit on by literally everyone

He starts the article off by saying

>listen, I'll admit it, I suck at cuphead

Yeah dude. I'm sure that's the only game you suck at.

DEAN YOU FUCKED UP WITH THE MASS EFFECT 3 REVIEW BECAUSE YOU MISSED THE RPG ELEMENTS AND HAD NO IDEA YOU COULD ASSIGN SKILL POINTS

ADMIT YOUR MISTAKE AND MOVE ON.

He can't admit his mistake, though. Because his mistake is like literally that he doesn't understand and can't play video games.

>people think gamergate is what got donald trump elected
fuck this hobby

Journalism is dead.

I thought the narrative was that this guy reviews the business side of video games and was the only person to available to attend a conference and thus play this game. Then the footage was published as a jab at his gaming skills.

But I guess now it's more profitable to invoke the specter of Trump to garner sympathy and clicks. Such is the state of modern journalism.

>the video I posted mocking myself
Oh that video that you changed the title to after the shitstorm started?

I personally am a EUfag.
And I do not get all that drumpf drama.
I mean. He sure is not the best one. But the alternative was literally a sick half-dead person.

gaming is literally the most important thing in the world and everything revolves around it

>We don’t need to dumb games down.
Except that's exactly what's been happening the last several years, since people like Dean can barely pass a simple tutorial.

Venture hasn't fired him yet? The website sure was recptive enough to fan complaint to the point of changing the original video's title from "Cuphead Gameplay: It isn't easy" to "Shameful Cuphead Gameplay"; I thought it could lead to something more.

>be a """games journalist"""
>be terrible at videogames
>like really fucking terrible
>get called out on it
>basically respond with "fuck drumpf and fuck white people"

It's astounding really, he hates the free press and the free press is exactly what goofygoobers was trying to defend before the media pivoted the story and made it about death threats on the internet to cover up their own ineptitude, nepotism and corruption.

Jesus Christ. This guy is everything that's wrong with the West coast "Games Journalism" scene.

>You don't have to be good at games to review them, it's authentic
No, you don't have to be great. But you DO have to be competent. And look at him, he's blaming others for his own shortcomings. Excusing himself.
>I only review about 12 games a year
THAT'S ONE A MONTH TOO MANY. I don't fucking review tampons.

>"Hey, you aren't very good at your job"
>TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER
ok

Why are Asian Americans such liberal cuckolds? They are worse than the white ones.

>you suck
>alt-right is after me HELP

AH HAH

IT WAS GOOBERGATE ALL ALONG, THAT'S WHY I'M HORRIBLE AT VIDEOGAMES

What's my name slick?

This absolute trainwreck is the gift of comedy that just keeps on giving. The man's sheer inability to self-reflect for two goddamned seconds and just admit he's bad at video games and shouldn't be a game journalist is just astounding. I joked about this becoming politicized and fuck me it actually fucking happened.
I was already gonna buy Cuphead because I love games of its genre but I appreciate the free publicity this is giving to it.

I just don't understand one thing: Why not try out the game before, then record footage of you playing through it? That way you don't capture your inept flailings from the first tutorial run
Or at the very least don't upload the tutorial part

>plays game like a fumbling retard
>called out for playing like a fumbling retard
>so assreamed he starts squawking TRUMP and MUH GOOBEGATORS
The absolute state of games journalism. Jesus Christ on golden crapper...

Someone should ask him to do some online IQ test and post results. I'm 100% confident it will be double digits

I always blamed Sup Forums for ruining gaming by becoming so politically involved, but the truth is that game journalist had started it by claiming we all hate woman and created an internet war to cover their asses so they wouldn't be cast from their targeted viewer base while making an entirely new one they could appeal to.

Post the gif of the bird figuring out the solution to the box puzzle quicker than this guy figuring out a dash-jump.

He's a (barely) sentient ant being who is still heavily gamergate

why does DSP have an asian clone, and how did he become a professional gaming journalist?

Classical liberals =/= neoliberals

Yo

>guys plays videogames badly at PAX and has it recorded and put online
>not a review, not trying to say anything about it, literally just has his failure recorded
>harassed endlessly over it
This is retarded. Laughing at the webm is one thing but he was clearly getting more shit than he should have.
>IT WAS ALL [shunned group], EVERYTHING IS THEIR FAULT, IF YOU DON'T TAKE MY SIDE YOU'RE ONE OF [shunned group], YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ONE OF [shunned group] DO YOU?
This is even more retarded. Now he practically deserves all the shit he got.

GAMEEEERGAAAAAAAAAATE!

IT WAS GOOBERGATE AND DRUMPF

STOP SHAMING ME FOR BEING INCOMPETENT WHEN THESE BOOGEYMANS HAVE NOW BEEN NAMEDROPPED!!!

I can't even read this this is like getting a goddamn wall of text and not even from a cute girl.

DooPliss

"Classical liberals" would be/are 100% behind GG, free speech and maintaining a free, indepedant press are important.

Onlinr IQ teat scores are always inflated tho

It's not that he's bad at games. It's that he is so fucking stupid a bird is better at problem solving. What the fuck is he doing in gaming journalism and how hasn't he been fired yet?

>LTG is Black DSP
>Dean is Asian DSP
We need a whole ethnic rainbow of DSP.

I know. I'm still confident it's double digits

I like how you call the "gaming journalist for 25 years" just a "guy" so we feel bad for making fun of him, as if his lack of skill has no bearing on sales

Put anyone you want in the driver's seat of an imperialist thresher machine, it doesn't make a difference

Thanks for proving him right, shit lords.

He's not a bright man

>Ian Miles Cheong completely flips his ideals
>is still just as fucking annoying
How does he do it?

>Le strawman apology.

videogames journalism is, like any other professions, required to possess some basic skill in their own field if you want to make a good job. that's like putting some american in a cooking position and tell customers "hey the food is not bad, you just not have american taste"

>No, I’m not blaming the developer for my own shortcomings.
>I respect the designers, even if I didn’t truly understand at first the games they’ve made.
>I would just like to make sure that they make their games for people who are new, or noobs, as well as hardcore fans.

Is this guy fucking serious? He's seriously chastising the developers WHO PUT WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN for making their game too hard?
I don't give a shit that he's been a journalist for 20 years. This fucking relic should give up then if he can't play games anymore.
Fuck being the best or even good, is it so hard to ask for at least the slightest bit of competency?

[Citation needed]

This dumb motherfucker has to be a stealth advertising campaign for Cuphead, literally no one was talking about the game before this "journalist" came in and graced the internet with his gaming skills. It really shows why Rockstar loves and invites controversies after getting fucked over by then in the early 2000's, in the end it is all free marketing.
