I can't stand them. they're either shilling for an AAA title or they're trying to stir controversy where there really isn't any. about 5% of all games journalism is worth reading/ actually reports the news/informed reviews

5 답변작성자: AngryTormentor 6/21/2019 12:18:34 PMNope. So much of it is just ill-informed, politically motivated or outright lying about things. The current so-called 'controversy' surrounding CyberPunk 2077 really has me wishing they would just disappear into irrelevance. I go by my instincts and that usually works out for me. Looking at videos without any sort of commentary or spin. Going to events to play the games beforehand.

No, most of the articles put out aren’t worth the time it would take to skim over. I enjoy reading about what I can expect from upcoming games, but beyond that gaming journalism is really unnecessary. I especially hate when gaming Journalists assume everyone wants to hear their opinion so they write an entire article detailing the one thing about a game that annoys them that nobody else cares about whatsoever.

Yes, assuming by games journalist we're talking about the independent sites and some YouTubers. Games activists on the other hand, hell no. The latest with CD is funny. You essentially have an activist site accusing CD of tokenism by working with the creator of their game (who happens to be black) to divert from the fact that the activist is just being racist.

Definite nope. Games journalists these days seem so out of touch and struggle to play modern games at an average level that I can't really take them seriously. This is not even mentioning the clickbait articles that I see everywhere trying to stir up some shite. There is exceptions but overall, pass and would look up official news for games from studios themselves over a journalist.

There are two "journalists" that I trust when it comes to gaming. Jim Sterling for gaming opinions and general punditry about the unethical behavior of corporations. Jason Shrier from Kotaku. His opinions suck but every investigative report has ended up being verified. The troubled development of destiny 1, 2, Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem all verified. The plot of Assassins creed Odyssey, Origins, and syndicate all revealed years before launch. The confirmation of the existance and plot of Fallout 4 a month before launch, and the list goes on and on.

Nope. I pretty much only rely on reviewers on YouTube for game reviews. I find I can better rely on them for accurate info because they've (usually) played the game enough to have a fully formed opinion and have the experience in gaming necessary for reviewing. The Completionist is one of my favorites. While he doesn't do every game that comes out (simply because he can't considering that he %100 every game, kinda his whole deal), he usually gets to big releases quickly, does any game both good and bad, and doesn't let his opinion get swayed by popular opinion.

4 답변Not really, I mostly get my info from youtube or some obscure game article website (hard to find a good one these days), or I just hear about it from word of mouth.
