See, I agree 100% what you said, but like I said with James, that was beside the point. The thing is, a lot of people do want reviews like he gives and believe that they're 100% right and dissenters need to "check their priviledge" (ugh). That these people can't take accountability bugs me more. It's easy to tell your readers they're acting out of line, it's hard to say they're doing it because of your past mistakes.
I mostly just need a reviewer I can respect. Jim Sterling is really the only reviewer for a mainstream site that falls into there though. Everyone else is either on a smaller site or Youtube like what you look for.
Yeah, I agree completely with what you say. I just felt for this blog it was best to stay neutral because the point isn't about Gies' opinion. It's that the backlash he received over it is something this industry created.
It is pretty funny to see her dressed as Peach. The game even replaces halos with Mario coins as collectables.
The thing is, 3 may not mean that to everyone. I only consider 1's to be the severely broken games, a game can be terrible and unfun without being broken. But, since IGN has such an inflated scale, I'm less likely to give them slack on that.
You're the Brett Favre of video game reviewers
I'd say Mega Pidgeot is the worst one actually. All it has going for it is STAB Hurricane that never misses, but that isn't close to as good as anything the other guys got. Especially since it doesn't get Focus Blast and has no way to get past Rock types, whose Stone Edges will never miss.
Don't worry, I knew all along, saying something like that as an insult is not your style. They do title shit like that just for hits though rather than because they have a unique point. It's the same social justice everywhere else is giving, right down to having to wade through a sea of smugness to get to the point.
Thanks.....I think.
How they did financially is beside the point.
