Nope

Look at Gamespot, Polygon or Jason Schreier

Most of them don't even finish the games they review, or even come close to doing so.

Polygon's fucking gameplay footage of Doom 2016 was fucking shameful.

It's funny because he doesn't even need to deal with this shit, if he just stayed out of the english speaking games sphere everything would be fine.

Kamiya's last game was so awful MS scrapped it when it was 80% finished.

how do shot gun

Which review is that webm from?

bait

What is this guy referring to? Is there a vid?

>can't shoot and move at the same time
I've only seen children and people who don't play videogames do this.

外人は糞みたいなゲームばっかりやってるからだね

No but you have to understand there job is not to give you a game review,In there eye's there job is to tell you what to think.

The real sin here is not that they can't play game's but that to some degree or another they all hate vidya games.

These people are not,will not nor have they ever been our friends.

The more I think about it, the more I think that this was done intentionally to make the game look crummy to spite Bethesda for imposing a bullshit embargo on reviews.

I NEED to believe that this guy is just not that bad.

No. Because playing video games isnt what being a video game journalist is about.

Its about getting clicks/views. You play an hour, get the general rundown from a memo the company that made the game sent out for reviewers, and you write your article.

Blame the editors that force them to try and complete a game in two days so they can spend a week and a half writing the review and slogging through a lengthy editing process.

reminder that this is the same for all entertainment and all MUSIC, FILM, and VIDYA journalists are hacks

Ya know what, you are right on the fucking money.

I'm going to throw sports in there too.

Im going to just grab your sports and take it outta there. Dont add things.

lol no

I'd beat you silly if I knew where you live.

This reminds me of what it was like watching my girlfriend play Portal

The most painful part is that they can't even move and aim at the same time

...

I also imagine getting stuck is an issue when there's no guides to help you out. I know the response to this is that they should be good enough to play without gudes, but they don't have the kind of time to sit down and walk their way through every time they get stumped.
Imagine the guy who has to review something like SMTIV and it tells you to go to the Chiyoda District or some shit without a map. Nigga I'm not from Tokyo, I don't know where any of that shit is, I had to look it up.

but people who review cars are usually at least decent drivers, and people who review hunting and outdoors equipment are usually good at hunting and camping.

Not sure if this is true. You can get the entirety of a music album's experience in about an hour. You can get a movie's full experience in about the length of the movie (~2hours)

Video game journalism has the distinct honor of having reviewers write about just the opening of a game, because the rest of the experience might take 20+ hours to get through.

>Mfw IGN's Pixeljunk Shooter review
Daemon Hatfield should off himself.

Nope. My dads a cop and hed arrest you.

Wow...

>nobodies posted the cuphead tutorial yet

they have to be playing here with a trackpad on a laptop

I do wonder how many reviewers actually finish big games, like Persona 5 or something which easily takes 100 hours for an average playthrough. Probably barely any.

They're reviewing an entertainment product, not something that could mean life or death. Their job is to tell the world what they think abou a video game. Who cares what a bunch of dipshits on the internet think. If the game is something they don’t feel comfortable playing, they have every right to mark it down. You don’t get brownie points just because you made a game.

I'm not into music but film 'journalism' is easily as much of a joke or more than vidya coverage.

They are but it's not as bad as game reviewers who's job is to play games but they act like it's such a burden to actually play them then half ass shit that makes any game that is remotely difficult or doesn't hold your hand get shit on.

They're reviewing an entertainment product, but exhibit no ability or desire to properly do so. It's like getting film reviews from a blind person.

Even a trackpad can move and aim at the same time.

Doesn't mean they should be immune to criticism like it seems that you're suggesting.

>They're reviewing an entertainment product, not something that could mean life or death.
No, but their shitty opinions can mean the difference between a developer getting a bonus or not.

The fact that the physics behind a loop are too much for these people is proof they are subhuman.

>doesn't play video games in the first place
>job is to say what they think with zero knowledge or experience

I often wonder if Kamiya would laugh at me while playing Bayonetta

what was so bad about Jap IGN's gameplay? They didn't get hit to many times.

I don't get it.

And a blind guy shouldn’t give a film a good score if he can’t watch it.

WOW, so sad

REALLY!!!! F.U.C.K.I.N.G R.E.A.L.L.Y!!!!!!!
It's sonic.........it's sonic the hedge hog this reviewer is a joke,most people ino even one's who you woulden't think know how to play SONIC!
My grandmother who is 98 now played this game with me back in 93',This reviewer is a clown and should be dragged across a bed o coal's.

Kamiya's kind of a professional dick. I wouldn't trust him to gauge others. In his eyes, he's probably the only one who knows how to play the game

They’re the average person. They’re going to play like the average person.

He's fine with people being awful at his games, it just irritates him when people who are paid to play games cover them so poorly.

Wonderful 101. That's the block/parry ability, and in the defensive nature of TW101, the block ability is bar none the most important tool in your kit.

his official excuse was that he was using a controller and was used to using a m+kb for first person shooters

>figured this shit out after like 2 tries as a 6 year old
>it utterly bamboozles a grown man

New Super Mario Bros. on the Wii is TOUGH!

>They're reviewing an entertainment product, but exhibit no ability or desire to properly do so.
That's probably what a lot of it boils down to. Was it Double Dragon Neon where the guy explicitly said he doesn't like beat em ups and gave the game a bad score because it was a beat em up?

But using a controller is easier than using a keyboard and mouse

They aren't doing their job properly. Without a proper knowledge of their jobs and bring what people wants, they're risking losing "clients", aka readers. A lot of sites have disappear for doing the same, and it's a liability to the company.
tl;dr: fuck off IGNorant

What's wrong with this?

If you think this person isn't qualified to review video games, you're just a racist Trump supporter who wants to rape women.

No, video game journalists are failures who couldn't become real journalists so they had to settle for video games, most of them don't even play games.
These websites just hire writers on writing experience and degrees, not video game knowledge.

Daily reminder that a significant portion of modern gamers are even dumber than that dumbfuck.
In case you were wondering why games like Destiny 2 exist.

>Sonic fans

(you) tried

>calling unite guts useless

We need more developers who are as unfiltered and outspoken as Kamiya

>S-Sonic was never good -IGN

I refuse to believe that you're serious about this.

>they aren't playing muh game properly!
holy shit how much of an asshurt bald manlet do you have to even be?

>REALLY!!!! F.U.C.K.I.N.G R.E.A.L.L.Y!!!!!!!
what the fuck are you doing

Destiny 2 as braindead as it is still requires some degree of skill, aiming is hard on consoles, they don't just sit around and snipe, they engage targets at close range, use magic and all that flashy parkour shit.

The idiot playing sonic can't even keep pressing right to get past the loop.

Reminder
Reminder
Reminder
That these (((game reviewers))) who don't even play videogames are the ones responsible for all these shit game coming into popularity because of their reviews being the only source for normies who search for "top ps4 games 2017"

It's all about money and not having fun.

This person is playing like I do when I'm extremely tired or drunk.

To be fair, maybe this was a person who always plays FPSs on PCs and was given a controller.

Didn't they respond by saying gamers were elitists who exclude people from gaming because they expect people to not play this shit?

Well it is just personal preference at the end of the day.

>Destiny 2 as braindead as it is still requires some degree of skill, aiming is hard on consoles
You can literally walk through most of the enemies in Destiny 2 as they shoot at you.
IIRC some faggot on Youtube literally ran through the entire game and could count on one hand the amount of times he couldn't just run past or ignore enemies without dying.

Goobergate: The Thread. sigh...

auto aiming has always made cod and halo fairly easy to play on console

If you think aiming with a mouse is harder than aiming with a thumbstick, it's because you've only tried aiming with a thumbstick.

Using a mouse for five minutes and going "ewww it's weird" doesn't count.

>To be fair, maybe this was a person who always plays FPSs on PCs and was given a controller.
No, fuck off with that shit, I only play FPS games on PC and even when playing Doom with a controller after not playing a console FPS in over a decade I was a million times more competent than that.
That person is a fucking retard that is GUARANTEED looking down at the controller every time he tries to move/shoot, like he can't remember what the controls are.

He says as lootboxes are shoved into his face.

So you're playing games on easy mode?
Casual faggot.
Stop getting worked up over personal preferences

I only realised how easy and braindead destiny was when I got my hands on destiny 2 pc. When given proper FPS controls, everything becomes point and click until you just hold left click on the boss while moving.

>To be fair, maybe this was a person who always plays FPSs on PCs and was given a controller

No, it's Arthur Gies. I know for a fact that he doesn't play PC FPS

Halo 1 to Reach doesn't have auto aim like CoD where you just press R2 and the crosshair snaps onto the nearest target, it does however have bullet magnetism ie if you aim and the crosshair turns red you're technically shooting the target even though it's obvious your bullets shouldn't touch him.

Reminds me of my first FPS on ps4, would get lost aiming directly up.

The one vs the birb? I got it.

>it's okay to sperg out on twitter and scream and block all criticism as long as you're le based japanese man and not an indie dev

This guy still has nothing on Dean.

The cuphead tutorial is well known, but don't forget that this is the same guy who gave Mass Effect a negative review for being too hard. He didn't spend his exp.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that most reviewers not only aren't good at video games, but that they don't even really like video games.

Because it's there fucking job, they're making money doing this shit.

Week and a half to write 6 paragraphs on the internet WOOOOOWWWWWWWW

Just admit that you're wrong.

I don't really care if the use of a mouse is "easy mode" for aiming. If you're playing any decent first-person shooter, the act of aiming the weapon and hitting targets is not the main challenge. A challenging first-person shooter expects that the player has already mastered this, and builds from there. If you miss your targets, you're just fucking up like a retard. If you hit your targets, congratulations, you're actually playing the game.

Console shooters treat aiming as the main challenge because additional challenges are too much when the player is already gimped by the gamepad.

It's a game about a sexy woman doing sexy things, of course they're gonna play horribly.
They have to show they are disinterested in such a misogynous game.

>uses IGN as an insult
Ask me how I can tell you weren’t on the internet before 2012

tl;dr sorry
You probably just think whatever you use is better because you're not used to the other one

user, IGN's been a joke for at least a decade.
Even fucking PA made fun of IGN's idiotic reviewers.

And women

At this point, just assumes the vast majority of reviewers are from people how don't really like videogames that much.

I've used both. You obviously haven't.
