Hey Sup Forums,

Have you ever written a game review? Why or why not? Has it been published anywhere notable other than a personal blog or social media?

Surely someone out there cares about the opinion of a person who actually plays video games

A-anyone there?

I contributed to hardcoregaming101 a couple of times.
That's pretty much it

That's cool, I like that website, the guy who made it and published the book lives one town away from me. I met him at a local con, cool dude.

I wrote a few reviews for my buddy's website a while back and made some filler videos for a friends YT channel for a while. I can't remember if the articles were good but my old videos were cringy as fuck.

I can't imagine a game about the nightshift being fun.

It's tough for me to imagine watching a YT game review without it being CEO get as fuck.

Off topic but.
Resident Evil 6 is the best tps.

...

If RE6 had been Dino Crisis 4 I would have loved it. or if it had little to do with the mainline story like 7

Resident evil 6 is easily fixable, mechanics wise, the gunplay and the action were alright, but it wasn't a very good resident evil game.

...

I've never written an officially published one, but when I was young and slightly more autistic than I am now I used to write pretty lengthy reviews on product review sites/pages.

I think I might enjoy doing game reviews, I've been told I'm good at writing and enjoy the deconstruction of media and sussing out what makes it good or bad. The only thing that really stops me is that it takes an absurd amount of effort just to get one article published, much less recognized as an author. To much time and energy spent for something I would only want to do as a hobby anyway.

Hell I think 7 shouldn't be in the main series it should have been named dead aim 2 or something

This is how I feel. I love breaking down media to its core elements and trying to analyze what makes a game good or bad ( in my taste at least) or why I like or dislike something.

I've considered doing it and I always smile when I see some shitty "Gayum Magazeen" is hiring. Ultimately though, I know it's a lot of work and very time consuming for very little pay off

I honestly think the gunplay is amazing especially with the flexibility.
I don't think it deserve the hate it gets just because Capcom went with more of a action oriented approach.

There you go, please donate to my patreon.

Well, I despised the game when I first played it, by naming is resident evil and showing off staple characters it sets up expectations that are ultimately crushed

I've made one or two videos and tried some writing online before, I have a degree in Communications for PR so I'm a decent writer but Youtube is not the place for community sharing that it once was. Its just an eceleb rat race now with awful algorithms for finding new content

I see it more as, the characters are now well trained and use those abilities to their full extent.
Don't get me wrong, I do see why it gets the hate, but as I said I don't think it deserves it.

This is what I figured. I think partially because it's target demographic has changed, but I wouldn't ever consider making a review Video just because I wouldn't want to market myself to those people

I think another part of it is the disconnect between the company and community. They rebuilt relations a bit with 7, but even that wasn't great imo

Yeah, demographics are a factor but theres also way more people trying to make content. Go search any game right now, any game. Its either going to be lets plays, reviews, most of them having some sort of cartoon character on the title card because of fucking shitty gamegrumps being over influential and you might find something from an official site like IGN or Gamespot if the game is new enough, maybe Game Trailers or Screw Attack if its older but it won't even be the first thing that pops up. Youtube is just dreck now.

...

Yeah I just recently bought 7 and got to the garage fight it's okay so far, but honestly still prefer 6 over it. 7 does feel like a call back to re1 but I don't know if I like the first person aspect too much in a re game, it should have been a spin-off like dead aim
That being said my personal favorite re is re3

I've written a few retro reviews on shop sites like Amazon and ebay. My hope is that by giving obscure retro games the bad scores they deserve instead of the usual "5/5 hidden gem" the prices will be kept down and less people will suffer inflated mark-ups. Or suffer through some truly awful games because retro sites hype EVERY PIECE OF SHIT imaginable.

Lol. Clever. I think most people buying retro hardware and games do their homework, so to speak. I'd like to think most people are like me and do a bit of research before they buy a retro game, learning its value - monetary and playability.

I'd like to think the normies buy the nes and snes mini console rereleases

...

No, because I just enjoy things and don't think too much of it.

Steam reviews count?

Some time after I wrote that, I've saw it published in a few blogs. Then I come back at review and I've saw people liked it.

Is he the one who had a meltdown when Trump won?

Cute

I wrote some reviews on GameFAQs.

No

Because games are for manchildren and writing a 100 page review on why it's fun is for autists.
