English majors that couldn't cut it as proper writers.

Does this mean he beat his cancer?

He left Konami, so yes.

How long until the writer circlejerk falls on him?

>don't know japanese
>go to japanese convention
>play game in japanese
>confused because you don't know japanese
>don't ask for assistance

?????????

Polygon may be bad at games but Tak Fuji is a retard anyway.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

when you think you are a cosmopolitan, but you are actually just burger

YOU CAN MOVE YOUR BODY FREERY

NO RONGER TIED DOWN

He was too extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme

Not tak fuji.

XX YYY or you'll be sucked, or EXTREEEEEEEME are more apt.

...

It saddens me that shit reviewers like that have a negative impact on hard working developers.

Its depressing.

Doesn't he have cancer?

ONE

MIRRON

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS

wow!

He had chemo and was in remission last I saw.

...

HE'S PASSING ON THE INSIDE!!

How do I become a video game journalist? I want to get paid to travel to japan and play video games poorly.

at least they weren't physically incapable of playing Cuphead

can't wait till all the video game "journalists" dog pile on this cancer surviving dev because he is fetishising video game skills, and will probably call him sexist as a bonus.

Oh boy.

>long haired japanese fetishes skill while culturally appropriating dreadlocks.
>when will racist japanese devs be over
>please donate to my stop shaking fund on gofundme

don't include me in the screencap

i don't know those ones. what do i know his face from if its not no ronger tied down?

hi

to be fair, professional writing is a near impossible industry to break into. if you aren't an established writer, nobody wants you. with newspapers and magazines dying, there isn't enough work to go around.

e x t r e m e

XXX YYY

Tak Fuji understands and speaks English, the dumb bitch should have asked.

hi

...

No, being "fair" is giving half a shit about your job because it provides you a paycheck. This is doubly true when your livelihood potentially directly impacts the livelihood of others.

Still from E3 2010

Move your fat body freery guy is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naoki_Maeda

so you were supposed to predict before technology wiped out newspapers and magazines that newspapers and magazines would get wiped out

...

...

Bugs...

so was it polygon that started the Dark Souls of x meme?

How is this allowed
I dont care if he was just there testing things out
How do you lack basic motor and reading skills

so you be sayin that reviewer is beneath a bird brain?

WAN
MIRRON
TROOPS


extreeeeeeme

>That bird is a good example of birds showing they aren't just stupid animals
>That reviewer is a stupid animal and struggles to do two or more things at once

I wanna hire that fucking bird to review video games.

Unless you chose to get into the field back in the 90s, yes you should have known about that.

Well considering the age of many of these journalists, yes. But even if not, the plan B they chose was games journalist, so they should take an interest in video games and at least not being COMPLETE trash at them.

...

kill yourselves

>check out the polygon review
>one of the first lines is "It’s got a fantastic premise — an all-female teen heavy metal band"
>they mention the all girl thing later on alongside not knowing Japanese
well

Start up a blog. Defend other video game journalists on social media. Bang, you're in.

your best bet is to become friends with someone in the industry
you could always get a good job and go on vacation and still end up better off than a polygon employee

>2010
Woah hold up what the motherFUCK

being fair would be firing people writing about shit they have no clue about. would it be fair if i was a plumber and flooded your house? would it be fair if tried to fix your car and ended up bricking it? would it be fair if i joined the NAACP and started spamming nigger on twitter and when people complained i called them all uncle toms and the rest of the industry started writing papers on how the black pride movement is dead?

WAAAAW

The worst part of Polygon is that the McElroy brothers are great and they work there. I don't know how the McElroys can be so good and their website can suck such shit.

>polygon

reminder that this guy gloated that he was so bad at mass effect that they actually changed the game because of him. this is the target demographic for triple A studios.

Source? I want to read about it.

Strike 1

Cuphead Boogaloo

Strike 2

Take Fuji Boogaloo

What will be Strike 3 of this year?

Crash bandicoot was Strike 1

So technically now is Strike 3

>people who are bad at games who clearly don't play games as a hobby feel inclined to write about games as if their opinions are worthy of a rating that people respect

I want my 1990s reviews by 3 people back

don't be such an elitist anti-intellectual anonymous

DOOM was strike one. They have one out and a strike.

just search "dean takahashi mass effect" i dont have the willpower to archive or screen cap at the moment so ill leave it up to you to decide who gets the clicks.

apparently he tried playing through the game without placing any talent points because he was too dumb to realize he even had them in the first place.

Zelda BotW was Stike 1

I said this year user

Unless your taking about the Switch version

Context? What happened?

polygon playing Zelda BOTW

Don't reset their strikes each year bitch. That just enables them to keep sucking.

I've seen people who play like this irl. These are the people who the "press the button for free health and ammo" mechanic were designed for.

>I didn't pay attention to all the Talent Points I was accumulating after every encounter. Those points just sat there.
I'm flabbergasted. To write a movie review, all you really have to do is remain conscious during the viewing so you can take it in. WIth video games, your inputs, or lack therof, define your experience. If you can't play video games, then you're not fit to review them. I truly wish nothing but the worst for this incompetent shit.

A+

this

3rd post, best post

I can understand that if it was on console. I can't aim for shit with a controller.

they'll keep sucking until they run out of funding

>Crash
>Roguelite

>roguelite
Literally how does that word end up in there

Apparently dying in a video game means it's roguelite/Dark Souls now.

top kek lad, i lol'd in my office

the reviewer compared the game to isaac, presumably because the only games they have played where they died a lot were isaac and dark souls

...

this thread complains about polygon master

it should be purged since it's problematic

...

>in it's New rougelite form

>new

...

Reminder that people like you (you) are the reasons these people are still getting pay and killing video game. You have no one to blame but yourself.

...

mcelroys are tumblr-enabling buttpirates

I also miss those days because not every retard was creating a website and hiring on unpaid gullable fools for it. You don't need to be good at playing games to write for a video game site. She was probably just a decent writer and knew someone on staff to get her in.
His tweet makes me sad. I got invited to go to TGS because I know Japanese, write news and review video games too, but I couldn't go because I'm headed to Japan later this year and fuck 13 hour flights

Yeah, but their MBMBAM podcast is so good.

Shouldn't that make it really fucking easy to find great writers who are willing to work for minimum wage since their talents are undervalued and they don't have any other job to go to?

Professional writing wouldn't be dying if they didn't literally hire bloggers for the same thing. I've seen a marked decline in even the local news.

love too fly 16 hours in sardine cans to play video games

...

absence of short term memory.

that's kinda neat actually

you are going to buy his k-on now right user

>Genuinely good English
>Not the usual garbled Nippon Engrish

This just makes things even sadder in retrospect.

Because they are not a vidya site about vidya for people who play vidya. They are an ideological site using vidya as a vector for their agenda.
