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.
