Tweet of the Day, The Answer Is ‘No,’ Of Course edition.

It always is.

Because if they got any worse they’d start risking their jobs, of course. Really, as always it’s not a writer problem: it’s an editor/publisher problem. Want better articles? Enforce better standards.

  1. Or, just like anything else, find a critic who doesn’t tell you what to think, but who has the time to check on things you do not and whose taste meshes with your own. I stopped looking at reviews from the big review sites quite some time ago after they started caring more about how a game reinforced their world view than whether a game was fun and actually told a good story. I guess I am just getting old, but I find I just do not have the time to listen to morons any more.

    Recommendations: I like ACG on youtube’s stuff. In depth review that focuses on the game and whether it is fun and visually pleasing. Has a pretty decent podcast on Twitch.
    Skill Up is not bad and has a huge presentation to his reviews, but sometimes the presentation seems to be the point. Plus, I am waiting for the lemon to be endorsed that he feels is ‘important’. Still, I give him some respect because of his review for Far Cry 5 where he asked if the game was a bit too down on rural America. I shook my head at a guy from Australia asking the question and figured the game was probably not for me.

    1. I just realized that I got off on to the tangent of game reviews rather than movie/show reviews, but the thought is still the same: stop listening to reviewers who you would probably want to punch if you had a conversation with them.

  2. Proof positive that they can be, and have been, worse: gamergate.

    Many “journalists” have failed themselves into a higher-paying, more
    prestigious gig by being obnoxious to disfavored demographics, with sports fans, players of RPGs, and actual nerds being the most frequent targets.

  3. One reviewer who gave this show F rating has admitted that they skipped from episode 2 to 5, thus coming to the first meeting between Geralt and Yennifer with zero backstory.
