It will look like I'm defending her here but I'm really not. Just to say she's not the worst of the worst, far worse content creators like Mr Beast. She's not great though.
He literally defends women like AP, my guy. Like wtf? How can weebs be *THIS* stupid'???? He was defending "women" (feminists) in gaming literally last week on X. He was called out for it too, this is a fuckin grift.
As Henry Cavill told once, "I don't think it's toxic, i calling it passion". Only indifferent people can see obvious flaws and not pointing on it somehow. True fans, who really want their favourite franchise to succeed, will never hold back on critique
Its just like the defenders of modern Star Wars. According to their logic you must like everything that comes out of the franchise, regardless of quality, or you're not a "real fan".
@@MagmaMKII "Bad Star Wars is better than no Star Wars." No, bad is bad. Stop with this toxic relationship bs and walk away. I want to be part of a fandom, a community. Not a cult.
Alanah “being a parent is a situational disability therefore Elden Ring needs to have pause button because kids are putting forks in electric sockets while we’re playing” Pearce has a bad take? I never thought Alanah “journalists are never payed or “inspired” by early access by companies for good reviews” Pearce would have a bad take. Alanah “Star Wars outlaws is a 7/10 game because $2 games on steam has less gameplay mechanics” Pearce never has a bad take. Leave my glorious queen Alanah “wukong devs were crying when they didn’t win game of the year award (they didn’t)” alone 🤬
funny how you can write a powershell script or AHK, and bind it if you want, to pause/suspend any executable, and by script i mean copy a one line from the web. if these people spent less time blabbing they wouldnt have these issues
i *kind of* agree with the first point, even though realistically if an emergency comes up the LAST thing you should be worrying about is your progress in elden ring (or any video game)
@@danimaryam3908i feel like people misunderstood what she said. Whether you agree with or disagree with it. Companies objectively view being a new parent as a situational disabilities. Like, you can look up Microsoft and Apple’s actual disability chart, and they actually list “being a parent” as a situational disability. She was trying to explain cooperate talk to ppl not in the know
Imagine a restaurant the owner cooks fried chicken: Costumer: hey this chicken is a little over cooked can it be redone? Owner: sure! *literally overcooks it some more* Costumer: what the hell?! Owner: you suck! You’re a tourist and know nothing about good food! Why are you so negative? All the costumers don’t eat there no more because the food is overdone and they don’t want to listen to the consumer. But now the owner is a victim and thinks you all want his restaurant to fail.
Ah right.... Alanah Pearce the biggest hot take generator, tourist agreeing to another tourist take, no wonder her time on internet is getting smaller and smaller lol, as to Kahlief from what i was able to see and hear from him he really is on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to gaming topic, "how do you know you don't want a thing you don't even know exists?" it's called experience and enough wasted time on failed games to know what you want from them it's that simple.
@RealMikeHollow I thought you'd disagree tbh you showed her a lot of respect in the video. Which is fair, just don't think she shows strangers the same courtesy unfortunately
@sheyarjames4904 She isn't credited in GoW Ragnarok and a writer for it said if you're not credited you didn't write for it. So I'm not sure what she actually wrote for but since it was 2020 to 2024, appears to not be for any game. Kinda strange that she flaunts it around like a trophy then.
When the AAA industry is full of people that hate their consumers, it's no surprise that the more associated you are within this industry, the more you are aligned with its views
I remember a thing Tom said: “The community managers used to talk to us, used to pop into our streams”. I personally think that build up good will in the community because there was interaction. Nowadays, we have CM’s who just act blind and proceed to do birthday shout-outs instead of actually talking about the community and its concerns for example...
FACTS! If you watched the former dev interview a few days ago, it seems like that work environment sucks. And it seems like they need WB approval for whatever they say which fn sucks. Lack of communication and clarity is a huge issue in today’s gaming environment
@ yeah i saw it. Got nostalgic but kinda accepted. As long as (in MK’s case) WB doesnt change. Nothing will, and only gamers can change the way MK is by letting money speak.
That's because the community managers today are no longer established fans in the community, but ones with graduate degrees in communication... where they teach you to be as hostile as possible to the established consumer bases. They do this to make room for a wider audience because they view the established audience as a threat, like how scarecrows keep birds away. Well, that's the stated reason, but the actual reason is more complicated.
Idk why the gaming industry shifted to this state creating things that literally nobody asked for, if we don't like something we should criticize it we just want a game that's fun and enjoyable with friends. Also if the next MK game doesn't erase all the changes in MK12 with another reboot or just make a sequel after Mk Armageddon I'm not interested I just want all the characters to be like their og versions with their iconic special moves.
Trophy kids are grown up and entering the work force. They’ve never been told no, they don’t know how to handle criticism, everyone around them as praised them their whole lives, toxic positivity. They can’t see the flaws in what they make therefore everyone else must like it and use political shields like ists and phobes to shut down valid criticism
I always feel like Alanah is kinda more of a "anti-gamer" herself. I feel like she the type of content creator that sides with people like gaming journalist/bad devs than actually listen to actual customers that don't like games like MK and why they want it to fail. Its why I don't watch her content because something about her rubs me the wrong way and this is one of those reasons.
I think it's fine to say GENERALLY you shouldn't want games to fail/do poorly because when games do good it inspires others to do better to get your attention, but if what is being done is going against what players want unfortunately this can sometimes be the only way devs shift their direction.
@@ashtreyxo8176 that’s funny because its her side that always wants games with “not enough diversity” to fail before release to the point where her previous workplace, IGN, that she defends on a monthly basis, immediately start yapping about about Wukong snd games like it not having enough diversity in order to manipulate sales.
Solid points Mike. It did remind me of a channel I recently looked at. Her name is Laura Fryer. She's like a huge veteran in the gaming industry and says a lot of these points you mention. I recommend checking her out when you got the time. The cool thing is that she's executive producer for Gears 1 and 2, which was great.
@@DrakeHunter324 he certainly has a way with words that wants to make me listen even when i don’t agree, on top of speaking calmly instead of screeching like most youtubers.
I’m not going to call people fake gamers, but I do get annoyed at people wanting a game to fail. I can understand good reason’s ( there’s a lot of justifiable reasons), but nowadays people will want it to fail for the slightest reasons. gaming discourse is being taken over by radical people. Gaming discourse is just bad these days imo.
What do you expect these are corporate shills through and through. They always been ultra privileged and even if they were real gamers at one point, now they have been corrupted by the greed and virtue signaling of these companies to where they will just bootlick and defend corporate greed even if it ruins their image. Most of these people started out so out of touch from gaming culture to begin with. They weren’t grinding it out in line at the midnight releases back in the day, they weren’t there laughing with friends while achieving some milestone achievement. They were getting blood jobs and modeling period.
I just got into DOA. When 3D fighters came out in the mid nineties I stayed away from them. Stuck to my 2D games. Bought Tekken 8 on release and really liked it. Ended up buying DOA 6 and just found a copy of 5 Last Round at a used game store. I really like those games. I DONT like dlc prices though. Jesus Christ they are expensive
@@omarw2150pretty sure it's a DOA developer being publicly racist towards white people and specifically wanting to make Elon Musk mad over something, might be a separate controversy because it's from November but it's all I found that was recent
I like Alanah Pearce but some games failing is a good thing. Imagine if Ubisofts nft game succeeded or a generic shooter like Concord succeeded. It would show the suits up top that they can make cash grab slop.
They are not going to stop trying, because tbh a lot of these companies are just so poorly run and managed now that they couldn't make anything better if they wanted to. They have completely lost the plot
Its like that Spongebob episode where he starts telling jokes instead of cooking and the crowd/customers gradually gets more and more pissed. Then he finally pivots, puts patties on the grill and the crowd goes "That's what we've been waiting for!"
Considering the biggest accomplishment Alanah has with playing games is letting Starfield run overnight to see if she could make it to the sun. I wouldn’t take her opinion seriously
Fake gamers is a wild statement. Their shouldnt be anything wrong with critizing games that don't meet expectations. Like are we not allowed to critize games whether their are favorite franchise or not?
Kinda sad that I knew her back when Fun Haus was around and Alanah was fun there. She went to do her thing and she slowly became disconnected with what's going on. The more she shows up on my feed with her takes, they all basically pushing the goal post. Most of the time I disagree or strongly disagree on the takes.
I hear you mike i agree player feedback "should probably" be taken in account especially if they really want to succeed, but this aint burger king, this is not something we are commissioning. Not saying you in particular, but because of the internet we losing touch of our roles and boundries. Some players demand things and over react to things the dont like way too much. We either like it or not state your reason why, but it not something for us to be outraged over, or Campaigning about
If anything, real gamers DO want to see games fail. Bad ones that is. So the industry can hopefully correct itself, and we can get good games again instead casinos masked as games, woke shit, unfinished broken messes on release, regular unfinished games lacking in content, etc. etc.
I'll tell this much, if there is such a thing as the worse take imaginable about a certain topic, Alanah will have it somehow in a possibility of 9 out of 10 times. Im more sure that she'll have a bad take than Lebron will score in any game he plays. She clearly lives in another reality where watching a cutscene its more preferable than gameplay, but thats what be a real gamer is nowadays for these people. But dont worry everyone, if you play Elden Ring and something of a priority calls, like your baby crying, or a call from work, you dont stop what you're doing, die in a videogame and take care of your priority, no, a real gamer goes and complain on the internet that there should be a pause button on Elden Ring because people have situational disability, thats what a real gamer does.
i have 9k hours in overwatch and there were years of the community pleading for them not to do stupid balance changes and they continued releasing broken supports. Killed their own pro league and then switched to 5v5 in Overwatch 2 making tank harder and a horror to play because some tanks are insane compared to others (release Mauga look it up or Orisa these two tanks are unable to be balanced ). I don't even wanna talk balance. They then screwed us on PvE lying about it when they had stopped working on it while showing it off too everyone and at the start had hero's locked behind a battle pass. So in a ranked game if you didn't own the meta defining character it was almost if not impossible to win. So through all this bs you expect me to want this to succeed ? I didn't even talk monetization and how ridiculous it is and lord forgive all the venture players for asking for 1 skin but Kiriko 800000000. Also i hope you like seeing old skins return with a new color for 25 dollars (skins that were free in overwatch). I hate wanting this game to fail but it needs to. Its greed has gone too far because it had no one in the space to challenge it. IF ANYTING I ain't a fake gamer I'm a gamer who has passion and love for gaming. But how else do I express my disapproval of my favorite games terrible direction after literal years of begging and pleading and hoping?
Balance changes is one thing, normally so long as its not terrible its the one thing people get used to cause all games suffer from balance being kinda bad. However the rest of your post is spot on. OW2 just has to many problems, so does blizzard as a whole. So why do I want a company like that to succeed?
The writing was on the wall about her for so long. She’s had quite a few shit takes. Sometimes it’s best to keep your pith code when you don’t know the situation. 👀
If people don’t call out awful games and it’s plot, characters, modes, story etc We will just get bad game after bad game alanah Pearce maybe one of those just accept shit games
She's such a fence sitter who often shills for the status quo to maintain her "credibility" in the industry. Her credibility fell from the grace when she left IGN and funnily enough the company as a whole lost theirs at that time too.
Spot on, thanks for your patience in dealing with these individuals 🙏. All of these 🤡 forget rule 1 of business 1. Take care of your customer and they will take care of you....
How it is a bad take ? 🤔🤔 Why would anyone be happy for a game failling.I mean you dont want mk 1 to fail matter of fact you want the opposite. I agree this disconnected from mk1 but you know damn well she wasnt just reffering to this game in particular. This is borderline griffting at this point.
I never said she was referring to this game. I used this game as an example. Please listen next time lol.. and yes, most people in the MK1 community did not want this game to do well because they didn't listen to the consumer base and it succeeding would just mean more of it.
@RealMikeHollow So what is the issue in her statement then? What I got from your vid is that people do need to critise the game they love in order to make the devs do what they want like a mode without kameo for example. Something that can pretty much still happen. Critising a game's issues in hope it gets better in the future and wanting it to fail at the same time is nonsensical.
You really didn't follow the dialogue properly, but I'll reiterate. We have seen a stream of legacy games being done in ways gamers detest. We've seen franchise after franchise be butchered or pushed to the way side, only for said big projects to crash and burn. They turn beloved franchises into cash grabs and ignore the needs of the consumers. Then people like Alanah go on their UA-cam page and Twitter (in her case both) and call gamers fake and tourists for refusing to support poor games. She calls them grifters for telling developers that they're unhappy with the nonsensical direction they take the games and she calls them haters for wanting the game to fail. Remember when Sonic the movie first got announced? Remember what Sonic looked like? Due to the outcry of the fans, Sonic was changed and the films went on to be a success. Had the film makers not listened and went ahead with the original design, would it be outlandish for Sonic fans to want that monstrosity to fail? No. Same with the Mortal Kombat movie. We don't want more slop. We want the IPs we have grown up with to be treated with the same care they were back then or we will let the Devs know. The gamers have the final say at the end of the day. We're not haters for voting with our wallets and speaking up about rubbish.
@@pieth68the thing is ppl can critique a game or product till there fingers go numb and they are blue in the face but the only way these companies seem to learn is if they don't make money. Which is essentially saying i will not support this/i don't want this and you can only hope that others with the same sentiment do as well so that the product can be better. (Capcom making streetfighter 6 with a higher focus on combos and freedom in comparison to sf5 as apposed to spiderman 2018 to spiderman 2 with fans not liking the marry jane section but not only doubled down on it but basically said players were wrong about it and need to play it). If you as a company are not going to make a product that consumers want and then call us a problem be us racist or hatefull or ignorant than yeah ppl will want the downfall against any company/person with that rhetoric.
Yeah, I can see where, from their perspective, maybe they focus on extremes where people want games to fail before they even come out and who don’t seem to even play games much (political commentators, etc.), which is a strain of commentary you can see lately. But if that’s the case, and that’s who they are talking about, then they are doing a poor job of communicating their viewpoints.
I can agree hoping a game fails is toxic. Its success or failure to us unrelated parties honestly isnt important they arent our franchises or companies. Dissapointment is fine This tourist talk idk about all that
@SolidSnake240 I have like a dragon on my p5 got it as a gift but never played it and ishin like a dragon on my series x think imma play that one first
Ishin is a side story has nothing to do with the main series play it if you like but the series is yakuza 0 kiwami kiwami 2 3456 like a dragon gaiden then infinite wealth@@pancake7366
Whatever lol. I don’t even have anything to add, just whatever 😴. These 7 Platinum trophies I got didn’t get there on their own. But she wouldn’t know. So whatever. EDIT: on second thought I do have somethings to say. Some games need to fail. Can nobody tell me a game like Concord should have succeeded. Nobody asked for it, nobody cared for it. And it sucked. I’m not just gonna give my time for it to succeed. When we as gamers are saying a game sucks, there’s probably a good reason. The way Cyberpunk came out was UNACCEPTABLE. No excuse for that. But it looks like she’ll say other wise. Like no, if there’s a problem we should be talking about it. Because we payed for it. Because we voiced our opinions on Cyberpunk, they fixed it and look at it now. One of my favorite games ever.
This has and always will be my argument for "why can't I ramble on everyday about why mortal Kombat is terrible?" Because it's literally the opposite of support for the company that made games you love. It is dangerous. Sure, Mortal Kombat 1 is a 7 while MKX (or whatever your preferred entry) was a 10, but treating Mortal Kombat publicly like a 2/10, an absolute waste of time and resources, makes others believe you, including other people that would have supported it with a purchase, and even including WB, who sees you and many others jumping on the hate bandwagon and they go OHHHH yeah we need to reevaluate some things. Last year alone, reevaluating things in the gaming industry meant 20,000 people losing their jobs. Tens of thousands more got pay cuts. Alanah didn't have the hottest take here. Especially since many of those in the industry who were, either by happenstance or hatewagoned, also lost their jobs.
@@MaiKuroMakes when i say discarded and changed i mean specifically for games themselves and not the workforce Example ssb brawl had random tripping that mechanic is now regulated to ice and bananas Bayonetta 3 has greatly reduced the qte slin then sequels And you can manually turn off stage hazards in smash ultimate(even though sakurai said that it was impossible in smash4 dispite being able to do it in said game by having 8 characters).
@@zore5872 I specifically meant for games as well. Discarded games typically means layoffs. I'm assuming your point is that those mechanics were removed or changed because of criticism. If so, you're probably right. I think thats a ways away from the original point though that Alanah and myself had - which is that overwhelmingly negative talk of games can have negative consequences for the developers. That is not the same as criticism.
@MaiKuroMakes yeah i meant mechanics, discarding ppl is foolish unless they are a net negative to the business which sadly it seems that alot of time its the talent that gets discarded (having more than 50% ppl who never worked on a game b4 be on your biggest title is adsurd) Companies need to temper their expectations for the products they make so franchises/games dont have to be discared, dead space and unknown 9 awakening come to mind
I forget the specific circumstances going on at the time, but I remember the first time she said this and I agree with her wholeheartedly in the context she's using it. So much of the gamer community is merely commenting on the games that are either coming out or are out, and they don't play anything. Certain creators, even creators I enjoy like Yongyea, when he's watching an event live, his chat doesn't like ANY of the trailers. They ALL suck. Like....really? ALL OF THEM? Do ya'll even like video games? So when Alanah started calling them fake gamers, it just made so much sense. Like it or nah, she's right. That doesn't mean Forspoken or Saints Row were good either, this is not mutually exclusive. I'm not letting mediocre to bad games off the hook. I'm talking about what Alanah is talking about - people who badmouth everything that clearly don't actually PLAY videogames.
idk mike, but it feels a little bit clickbaity to plaster alanah pearce name and picture all over this video over what seemingly seems to be 2 sentences in a random twitter message. If she made an entire video about this subject sure, but this feels like trying to force drama about a subject she might not actually have all that strong feelings about. I'm not a fan of taking someone's twitter messages as if that is their whole opinion on any giving subject. "Alanah Pearce Thinks We Are "Fake" Gamers" is a very inflammatory title. Maybe just a "responding to Alanah's pearce tweet" makes it a little bit less at antagonistic.
She did make an entire video and she referenced it today on her Twitter page. I just didn't add it into the video cos it would be fluff. She's also made a lot of tweets about this, I just didn't add them in cos it'd be fluff. Trust me, this isn't just off two twitter comments and I think everyone here knows that.
So many people with so much passion all being led astray due to tribalism. Whatever side you are on is your entire personality these days. Its not true, but that is how some of them think.

At this point in my life im not willing to argue with companies with a bad product.. im simply not going to buy any game from that company anymore.. I commend you all keep up the good fight though..
Mike you mentioned the latest MK movie and it brought back the memory of the day me and my friend tried to watch it. The opening 20 minutes were promising but it nosedived so hard after the intro in way that my friend fell asleep minutes past the opening and I really dragged myself to the end. I don't have any hopes for the sequel. My only hope was that they get rid of the awful Cole Young character which unfortunately it's not going to happen. Such a waste when you have actors like Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobo Asano in the movie but decide to focus on such uninteresting character like cole Young. Also miss direct such talented actor in the role and manage to create the an idiot character out of Raiden. Watching Shogun recently I couldn't believe both these masterful talents were in that movie as well. Asano san's work as Yabushige was one of those performances of the lifetime.
A lot of game devs openly shit on a huge part of their audience and destroy IP they didn' t create. Schadenfreude can be ok and even fun. And btw many of them would love it if their perceived opposition lost their jobs.
I mean as much as game devs and creatives like to say that games are art, it's shown time and time again that it's not. Games are products, and if you come out with a product, the creator's vision no longer matters, the consumers' wants do. So put the products that the audience wants in the bag. That's the only way for the games companies to survive. Am I in the ballpark here?
Yes and no. It's true that you need to put the right features in to please the consumer base, but not all games are the same or serve the same purpose. I'd still put it down to being an art form when you look at games like Okami, Journey or Shadow of the Collosus. You can see the style of game is drastically different to a FIFA, GTA or COD. Those feel more like products that have quotas they need to hit.
I don’t want to get my hopes up too high but Todd Garner did acknowledge some of the issues the first MK film had. Hopefully the second film is much better. I still can’t get over how Jax just grew bigger metal arms out from his body as his Arcana 😂
I have Playstations 2-5, the Nintendo Switch, And an XBox 360 hooked up right now. I have A Dreamcast, Genesis, PS1, Gamecube, and Turbo Graphic 16. No company bought me my counsel's. No company gave me review copies. No ones paying me to do my hobbie. It is not a job. Does that sound like a tourist? Short awnser no.
Imo it shows that people like her barely do the research to understand why people "Hate" the game. Kameos i love the idea, but if they wanted it in the game, it shouldve been like a side mini game kinda fight mode like how Tekken Ball is. People like her act like people on twitter speak out for the whole gaming community. Twitter is a hostile environment you get abusive aggressive mugs on there in every community. It really makes everyone question people like Alanah, "how long have you been part of the gaming community?".
It’s a semantics thing imo. I don’t think anyone is “celebrating” canceled games (at least people who aren’t crazy). People aren’t losing sleep over it either though.
The WWE/ AEW analogy is Great. WWE was very very... Mid ass for a good 2-3 years. I think when Cody came back, and Hunter took more control it got a lot better. I think that's what was wrong with Mk1 , and MANY GAMES. they took risks, but didn't take the care to be more proactive to make it work. Tbh mk should've been getting updates every 2-3 months or they should have been much bigger. I'm playing outlast trials and GOD I want more content.
So if someone works hard to create a product and the consumers tell them the product sucks, the consumer is supposed to still support? Absolutely not. Thats not how the world works, and its never worked like that. If a game sucks, it sucks. No one is obligated to support a company because they worked so hard on it. Alanah is the same person who defended Star Wars Outlaws, something both gamers and Star Wars fans despised and complained about how hard Elden Ring is. Her takes have always been trash.
There’s a until dawn movie coming out? That’s interesting. All they have to do is stick with the source material and just add all into it so it doesn’t be predictable. And with that wolf man movie that just came out I heard that wasn’t good. They should do the quarry as a live action movie.
Mike may judge things on a case by case basis, but I'm done with certain franchises for now lol. I played the hell out of MK11 as a casual, even went online to get some skins, MK1 has not been anywhere near that. I did the story, played a bit of whatever that weird mode is and now its collecting virtual dust. Tekken has been letting me down since tag 2, T8 is not it. MK2, Tekken 9? Not buying, if they go on sale for like $5...maybe I'll get them....maybe.
They ARE paying attention, but you have to FORCE behaviours. ''REAL''' gamers dont question their masters. Please sir, can I have some more. The simple fact is, WE have the power. If you want OUR money you have to earn it, and unfortunately the state all media is in just now is dire. Why should we give money to people who openly hate us? why should we be excited for something that wants to spit in our face? How do we know we dont want something?, simple, its called experience. Gamers and devs used to have a great relationship, but then we started getting games broken at launch, awful predatory monetisation, the destruction of our favourite franchises, mockery, hostility and political ideologies and agendas but somehow we're the bad guys.
i mean if nrs does a polling on any of their socials or webpage asking at least these two things to the fans, 1) Kameo or 1vs1, 2) Fast gameplay like MKX or slow like MK11, is there really a chance that 1vs1 and slow wins the poll? i mean i totally undestand the gambling part and taking risks but man you can put kameo as a game mode... and about these guys, why would you want to praise anything that suckss and is poorly done, specially someone that's involved in the scene, don't get it

funny how you can write a powershell script or AHK, and bind it if you want, to pause/suspend any executable, and by script i mean copy a one line from the web.
if these people spent less time blabbing they wouldnt have these issues
i *kind of* agree with the first point, even though realistically if an emergency comes up the LAST thing you should be worrying about is your progress in elden ring (or any video game)
Disgusting. She is engaged in literal censorship of artists, demanding they meet her standards and needs.
@@danimaryam3908i feel like people misunderstood what she said. Whether you agree with or disagree with it. Companies objectively view being a new parent as a situational disabilities. Like, you can look up Microsoft and Apple’s actual disability chart, and they actually list “being a parent” as a situational disability. She was trying to explain cooperate talk to ppl not in the know
She stole artwork, lied about being a writer on God of War, and other weasel like behavior.. she's insufferable
Imagine a restaurant the owner cooks fried chicken:
Costumer: hey this chicken is a little over cooked can it be redone?
Owner: sure! *literally overcooks it some more*
Costumer: what the hell?!
Owner: you suck! You’re a tourist and know nothing about good food! Why are you so negative?
All the costumers don’t eat there no more because the food is overdone and they don’t want to listen to the consumer. But now the owner is a victim and thinks you all want his restaurant to fail.
Alanah Pearce doesnt know crap, how about that?
Ah right.... Alanah Pearce the biggest hot take generator, tourist agreeing to another tourist take, no wonder her time on internet is getting smaller and smaller lol, as to Kahlief from what i was able to see and hear from him he really is on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to gaming topic, "how do you know you don't want a thing you don't even know exists?" it's called experience and enough wasted time on failed games to know what you want from them it's that simple.
"Pattern recognition is a dog whistle". No really, I read this somewhere where someone was being completely unironic.
She's also a literal industry shill. She participated in the western dog piling of Black Myth Wukong developers with a cole and pathetic lie
Alanah Pearce is mid. She let her role in Santa Monica go to her head. Absolute narcissist imo.
Yeah, she's extremely big headed now. Disappointing.
@RealMikeHollow I thought you'd disagree tbh you showed her a lot of respect in the video. Which is fair, just don't think she shows strangers the same courtesy unfortunately
She was hired as a writer which was puzzling to me because to my knowledge she didn't have writing experiences beforehand...
@sheyarjames4904 She isn't credited in GoW Ragnarok and a writer for it said if you're not credited you didn't write for it. So I'm not sure what she actually wrote for but since it was 2020 to 2024, appears to not be for any game. Kinda strange that she flaunts it around like a trophy then.
@@Mystra Yeah it's really confusing, I suppose she had a different position but opted to say she is a writer in public for whatever reason...
When the AAA industry is full of people that hate their consumers, it's no surprise that the more associated you are within this industry, the more you are aligned with its views
I remember a thing Tom said: “The community managers used to talk to us, used to pop into our streams”. I personally think that build up good will in the community because there was interaction. Nowadays, we have CM’s who just act blind and proceed to do birthday shout-outs instead of actually talking about the community and its concerns for example...
FACTS! If you watched the former dev interview a few days ago, it seems like that work environment sucks. And it seems like they need WB approval for whatever they say which fn sucks. Lack of communication and clarity is a huge issue in today’s gaming environment
@ yeah i saw it. Got nostalgic but kinda accepted. As long as (in MK’s case) WB doesnt change. Nothing will, and only gamers can change the way MK is by letting money speak.
That's because the community managers today are no longer established fans in the community, but ones with graduate degrees in communication... where they teach you to be as hostile as possible to the established consumer bases. They do this to make room for a wider audience because they view the established audience as a threat, like how scarecrows keep birds away. Well, that's the stated reason, but the actual reason is more complicated.
I really, REALLY think she got her place in the industry just by being hot.
Idk why the gaming industry shifted to this state creating things that literally nobody asked for, if we don't like something we should criticize it we just want a game that's fun and enjoyable with friends. Also if the next MK game doesn't erase all the changes in MK12 with another reboot or just make a sequel after Mk Armageddon I'm not interested I just want all the characters to be like their og versions with their iconic special moves.
Trophy kids are grown up and entering the work force. They’ve never been told no, they don’t know how to handle criticism, everyone around them as praised them their whole lives, toxic positivity. They can’t see the flaws in what they make therefore everyone else must like it and use political shields like ists and phobes to shut down valid criticism
I always feel like Alanah is kinda more of a "anti-gamer" herself. I feel like she the type of content creator that sides with people like gaming journalist/bad devs than actually listen to actual customers that don't like games like MK and why they want it to fail. Its why I don't watch her content because something about her rubs me the wrong way and this is one of those reasons.
She's literally just a woke activist
Journalists cant even play a "souls like" game without begging for a easy mode..
I miss the good old days of gaming. Drama free
Those days are long gone, brother 😢
Back then did former devs try to fight gamers? It seems to be a thing now and we are sick of it
I think it's fine to say GENERALLY you shouldn't want games to fail/do poorly because when games do good it inspires others to do better to get your attention, but if what is being done is going against what players want unfortunately this can sometimes be the only way devs shift their direction.
Yeah I feel like Alanah is focused more on the prejudice aspect of people wanting games to fail
@@ashtreyxo8176 that’s funny because its her side that always wants games with “not enough diversity” to fail before release to the point where her previous workplace, IGN, that she defends on a monthly basis, immediately start yapping about about Wukong snd games like it not having enough diversity in order to manipulate sales.
Solid points Mike.
It did remind me of a channel I recently looked at.
Her name is Laura Fryer. She's like a huge veteran in the gaming industry and says a lot of these points you mention. I recommend checking her out when you got the time.
The cool thing is that she's executive producer for Gears 1 and 2, which was great.
I'll give her a watch, bro. Thank you ☝🏾
Trust and believe that the gaslighting queen herself (Alanah) will always have worst possible take on any subject.
Vote with your wallets people!
A(liar) Pearce must be the only real gamer if were fake gamers 😂😅
If more people had Mike's logic and way of thinking, the world would be a better place.
Agreed. Even if I don't agree with him I'll sit and listen.
@@DrakeHunter324 he certainly has a way with words that wants to make me listen even when i don’t agree, on top of speaking calmly instead of screeching like most youtubers.
“Fake gamers” many of us were gaming before she was even born 😂
I don't give a shit what Alanah Pearce thinks.
Love the Pro-wrestling analogies and comparisons. Helps see through the bullcrap.
I’m not going to call people fake gamers, but I do get annoyed at people wanting a game to fail. I can understand good reason’s ( there’s a lot of justifiable reasons), but nowadays people will want it to fail for the slightest reasons. gaming discourse is being taken over by radical people. Gaming discourse is just bad these days imo.
There are definitely radicals making way in this space. I've unfortunately witnessed too much to deny their presence.
What do you expect these are corporate shills through and through. They always been ultra privileged and even if they were real gamers at one point, now they have been corrupted by the greed and virtue signaling of these companies to where they will just bootlick and defend corporate greed even if it ruins their image. Most of these people started out so out of touch from gaming culture to begin with. They weren’t grinding it out in line at the midnight releases back in the day, they weren’t there laughing with friends while achieving some milestone achievement. They were getting blood jobs and modeling period.
I don’t think this beats her “having a child is a disability of circumstances and that’s why games should have pause” take bro
That's true. That one was pretty bad 😂
I like your content, keep it up. Also, I enjoy playing MK9, it didn't get better than that. We had Tag Mode.
Thank you ☝🏾
What does that even mean. We all are gamers and that's that
We need your thoughts on the DOA situation with the devs being weird
I just got into DOA. When 3D fighters came out in the mid nineties I stayed away from them. Stuck to my 2D games. Bought Tekken 8 on release and really liked it. Ended up buying DOA 6 and just found a copy of 5 Last Round at a used game store. I really like those games. I DONT like dlc prices though. Jesus Christ they are expensive
i just looked into what you were talking about. what the fuck
Context please?
@@omarw2150pretty sure it's a DOA developer being publicly racist towards white people and specifically wanting to make Elon Musk mad over something, might be a separate controversy because it's from November but it's all I found that was recent
Yeah can we get some context on this? What's going down with DOA?
I like Alanah Pearce but some games failing is a good thing. Imagine if Ubisofts nft game succeeded or a generic shooter like Concord succeeded. It would show the suits up top that they can make cash grab slop.
She used to be cool but now...not so much.
I mean i like the way she looks but that is about it
They are not going to stop trying, because tbh a lot of these companies are just so poorly run and managed now that they couldn't make anything better if they wanted to. They have completely lost the plot
Alanah "Piss" 😂
Its like that Spongebob episode where he starts telling jokes instead of cooking and the crowd/customers gradually gets more and more pissed. Then he finally pivots, puts patties on the grill and the crowd goes "That's what we've been waiting for!"
Considering the biggest accomplishment Alanah has with playing games is letting Starfield run overnight to see if she could make it to the sun. I wouldn’t take her opinion seriously
If the game doesn't listen and cater to the fans, they deserve to fail simple as.
She said at Funhaus she grew up playing Mario, then when playing Mario at Funhaus didn't know there was a run button??
Fake gamers is a wild statement. Their shouldnt be anything wrong with critizing games that don't meet expectations. Like are we not allowed to critize games whether their are favorite franchise or not?
Criticism and hate are the same thing to these people.
@RealMikeHollow sad
The critique of the latest MK movie was hilarious. Would love to see a full review if you did one. LOL
Haha might do a double one when the next one drops.
Kinda sad that I knew her back when Fun Haus was around and Alanah was fun there. She went to do her thing and she slowly became disconnected with what's going on.
The more she shows up on my feed with her takes, they all basically pushing the goal post. Most of the time I disagree or strongly disagree on the takes.
I hear you mike i agree player feedback "should probably" be taken in account especially if they really want to succeed, but this aint burger king, this is not something we are commissioning.
Not saying you in particular, but because of the internet we losing touch of our roles and boundries. Some players demand things and over react to things the dont like way too much.
We either like it or not state your reason why, but it not something for us to be outraged over, or Campaigning about
My batteries running out of my gameboy is a situational disability because i didn't get allowance to buy more batteries do to having bad grades
If anything, real gamers DO want to see games fail. Bad ones that is. So the industry can hopefully correct itself, and we can get good games again instead casinos masked as games, woke shit, unfinished broken messes on release, regular unfinished games lacking in content, etc. etc.
I'll tell this much, if there is such a thing as the worse take imaginable about a certain topic, Alanah will have it somehow in a possibility of 9 out of 10 times. Im more sure that she'll have a bad take than Lebron will score in any game he plays. She clearly lives in another reality where watching a cutscene its more preferable than gameplay, but thats what be a real gamer is nowadays for these people.
But dont worry everyone, if you play Elden Ring and something of a priority calls, like your baby crying, or a call from work, you dont stop what you're doing, die in a videogame and take care of your priority, no, a real gamer goes and complain on the internet that there should be a pause button on Elden Ring because people have situational disability, thats what a real gamer does.
i have 9k hours in overwatch and there were years of the community pleading for them not to do stupid balance changes and they continued releasing broken supports. Killed their own pro league and then switched to 5v5 in Overwatch 2 making tank harder and a horror to play because some tanks are insane compared to others (release Mauga look it up or Orisa these two tanks are unable to be balanced ). I don't even wanna talk balance. They then screwed us on PvE lying about it when they had stopped working on it while showing it off too everyone and at the start had hero's locked behind a battle pass. So in a ranked game if you didn't own the meta defining character it was almost if not impossible to win. So through all this bs you expect me to want this to succeed ? I didn't even talk monetization and how ridiculous it is and lord forgive all the venture players for asking for 1 skin but Kiriko 800000000. Also i hope you like seeing old skins return with a new color for 25 dollars (skins that were free in overwatch). I hate wanting this game to fail but it needs to. Its greed has gone too far because it had no one in the space to challenge it. IF ANYTING I ain't a fake gamer I'm a gamer who has passion and love for gaming. But how else do I express my disapproval of my favorite games terrible direction after literal years of begging and pleading and hoping?
Balance changes is one thing, normally so long as its not terrible its the one thing people get used to cause all games suffer from balance being kinda bad. However the rest of your post is spot on. OW2 just has to many problems, so does blizzard as a whole. So why do I want a company like that to succeed?
By no longer playing it
I can't believe she has a platform my dude. The frustrating part is that people listen to her.
It feels like every time she talks, she always one up her previous bad take😂
The writing was on the wall about her for so long. She’s had quite a few shit takes. Sometimes it’s best to keep your pith code when you don’t know the situation. 👀
Never heard of Alanah Pearce...
She makes some good adult movies and that's about it. Other than that she is a piece of sheet.
Alanah Pearce and Melanie Mac have gone down bad in the last couple of years lol
Stocks are down ☠️
Reason why people want to see some games fail is cause studios are wasting time making a game no one wants.
If people don’t call out awful games and it’s plot, characters, modes, story etc
We will just get bad game after bad game alanah Pearce maybe one of those just accept shit games
She's such a fence sitter who often shills for the status quo to maintain her "credibility" in the industry. Her credibility fell from the grace when she left IGN and funnily enough the company as a whole lost theirs at that time too.
Spot on, thanks for your patience in dealing with these individuals 🙏.
All of these 🤡 forget rule 1 of business 1. Take care of your customer and they will take care of you....
They really think they can get away with talking down on us 😂
How it is a bad take ? 🤔🤔 Why would anyone be happy for a game failling.I mean you dont want mk 1 to fail matter of fact you want the opposite. I agree this disconnected from mk1 but you know damn well she wasnt just reffering to this game in particular. This is borderline griffting at this point.
I never said she was referring to this game. I used this game as an example. Please listen next time lol.. and yes, most people in the MK1 community did not want this game to do well because they didn't listen to the consumer base and it succeeding would just mean more of it.
@RealMikeHollow So what is the issue in her statement then? What I got from your vid is that people do need to critise the game they love in order to make the devs do what they want like a mode without kameo for example. Something that can pretty much still happen.
Critising a game's issues in hope it gets better in the future and wanting it to fail at the same time is nonsensical.
You really didn't follow the dialogue properly, but I'll reiterate. We have seen a stream of legacy games being done in ways gamers detest. We've seen franchise after franchise be butchered or pushed to the way side, only for said big projects to crash and burn. They turn beloved franchises into cash grabs and ignore the needs of the consumers.
Then people like Alanah go on their UA-cam page and Twitter (in her case both) and call gamers fake and tourists for refusing to support poor games. She calls them grifters for telling developers that they're unhappy with the nonsensical direction they take the games and she calls them haters for wanting the game to fail.
Remember when Sonic the movie first got announced? Remember what Sonic looked like? Due to the outcry of the fans, Sonic was changed and the films went on to be a success. Had the film makers not listened and went ahead with the original design, would it be outlandish for Sonic fans to want that monstrosity to fail? No. Same with the Mortal Kombat movie. We don't want more slop. We want the IPs we have grown up with to be treated with the same care they were back then or we will let the Devs know. The gamers have the final say at the end of the day. We're not haters for voting with our wallets and speaking up about rubbish.
@@pieth68the thing is ppl can critique a game or product till there fingers go numb and they are blue in the face but the only way these companies seem to learn is if they don't make money. Which is essentially saying i will not support this/i don't want this and you can only hope that others with the same sentiment do as well so that the product can be better.
(Capcom making streetfighter 6 with a higher focus on combos and freedom in comparison to sf5 as apposed to spiderman 2018 to spiderman 2 with fans not liking the marry jane section but not only doubled down on it but basically said players were wrong about it and need to play it).
If you as a company are not going to make a product that consumers want and then call us a problem be us racist or hatefull or ignorant than yeah ppl will want the downfall against any company/person with that rhetoric.
Yeah, I can see where, from their perspective, maybe they focus on extremes where people want games to fail before they even come out and who don’t seem to even play games much (political commentators, etc.), which is a strain of commentary you can see lately. But if that’s the case, and that’s who they are talking about, then they are doing a poor job of communicating their viewpoints.
I can agree hoping a game fails is toxic. Its success or failure to us unrelated parties honestly isnt important they arent our franchises or companies.
Dissapointment is fine
This tourist talk idk about all that
tough talking from a fake gamer
Sir 🗿
I always laugh when you bring up Yakuza 🤣 it definitely must be good imma have to check those games
Definitely worth it man, not sure what platform you game on but they're all available on PSN and I'm sure they're all on steam as well.
@SolidSnake240 I have like a dragon on my p5 got it as a gift but never played it and ishin like a dragon on my series x think imma play that one first
Ishin is a side story has nothing to do with the main series play it if you like but the series is yakuza 0 kiwami kiwami 2 3456 like a dragon gaiden then infinite wealth@@pancake7366
I got into Yakuza in late 2017 and never looked back. I have all the games. Mostly on PS4/5 and the like a Dragon sequel on the X. Great games.
@@LuciferHunter-kt7pm yeah especially since that new one is come the the pirate one it looks so fun lol
Whatever lol. I don’t even have anything to add, just whatever 😴. These 7 Platinum trophies I got didn’t get there on their own. But she wouldn’t know. So whatever.
EDIT: on second thought I do have somethings to say. Some games need to fail. Can nobody tell me a game like Concord should have succeeded. Nobody asked for it, nobody cared for it. And it sucked. I’m not just gonna give my time for it to succeed. When we as gamers are saying a game sucks, there’s probably a good reason. The way Cyberpunk came out was UNACCEPTABLE. No excuse for that. But it looks like she’ll say other wise. Like no, if there’s a problem we should be talking about it. Because we payed for it. Because we voiced our opinions on Cyberpunk, they fixed it and look at it now. One of my favorite games ever.
when the industry throws crap at the consumer, we have to push back, plain and simple
This has and always will be my argument for "why can't I ramble on everyday about why mortal Kombat is terrible?"
Because it's literally the opposite of support for the company that made games you love. It is dangerous. Sure, Mortal Kombat 1 is a 7 while MKX (or whatever your preferred entry) was a 10, but treating Mortal Kombat publicly like a 2/10, an absolute waste of time and resources, makes others believe you, including other people that would have supported it with a purchase, and even including WB, who sees you and many others jumping on the hate bandwagon and they go OHHHH yeah we need to reevaluate some things.
Last year alone, reevaluating things in the gaming industry meant 20,000 people losing their jobs. Tens of thousands more got pay cuts.
Alanah didn't have the hottest take here. Especially since many of those in the industry who were, either by happenstance or hatewagoned, also lost their jobs.
I agree, if something is bad i should be looked at and improved or discarded so that ppl dont loose their jobs.
@zore5872 not at all my point but I agree with that as well. Maybe less so with the "discarded" part though. That almost always means layoffs
@@MaiKuroMakes when i say discarded and changed i mean specifically for games themselves and not the workforce
Example ssb brawl had random tripping that mechanic is now regulated to ice and bananas
Bayonetta 3 has greatly reduced the qte slin then sequels
And you can manually turn off stage hazards in smash ultimate(even though sakurai said that it was impossible in smash4 dispite being able to do it in said game by having 8 characters).
@@zore5872 I specifically meant for games as well. Discarded games typically means layoffs.
I'm assuming your point is that those mechanics were removed or changed because of criticism. If so, you're probably right.
I think thats a ways away from the original point though that Alanah and myself had - which is that overwhelmingly negative talk of games can have negative consequences for the developers. That is not the same as criticism.
@MaiKuroMakes yeah i meant mechanics, discarding ppl is foolish unless they are a net negative to the business which sadly it seems that alot of time its the talent that gets discarded (having more than 50% ppl who never worked on a game b4 be on your biggest title is adsurd)
Companies need to temper their expectations for the products they make so franchises/games dont have to be discared, dead space and unknown 9 awakening come to mind
Aunty Alanah does not know what she's talking about....indeed it was a bad take by her lol
She never does.
here from rags, thank you for coverage
Atleast as real as she is as an author for GOW
Alanah Pearce is a former game "journalist". Her opinion should be discarded and frowned upon automatically
I’m like you Mike with my collection. Too many games to count . I can’t even play half of em cuz I no longer have particular consoles or what have you
Yeah, have to travel to different parts of Asia to get what I want 😂
I forget the specific circumstances going on at the time, but I remember the first time she said this and I agree with her wholeheartedly in the context she's using it. So much of the gamer community is merely commenting on the games that are either coming out or are out, and they don't play anything. Certain creators, even creators I enjoy like Yongyea, when he's watching an event live, his chat doesn't like ANY of the trailers. They ALL suck. Like....really? ALL OF THEM? Do ya'll even like video games? So when Alanah started calling them fake gamers, it just made so much sense.
Like it or nah, she's right. That doesn't mean Forspoken or Saints Row were good either, this is not mutually exclusive. I'm not letting mediocre to bad games off the hook. I'm talking about what Alanah is talking about - people who badmouth everything that clearly don't actually PLAY videogames.
Alanah Pearce should stick to acting.
Shes an actor?!?!
@zore5872 idk when one could be considered an actor but she does act occasionally. I actually thought she was good in the new VHS movie
9:48 its called researching what players want through surveys, like what capcom did.
idk mike, but it feels a little bit clickbaity to plaster alanah pearce name and picture all over this video over what seemingly seems to be 2 sentences in a random twitter message. If she made an entire video about this subject sure, but this feels like trying to force drama about a subject she might not actually have all that strong feelings about. I'm not a fan of taking someone's twitter messages as if that is their whole opinion on any giving subject. "Alanah Pearce Thinks We Are "Fake" Gamers" is a very inflammatory title. Maybe just a "responding to Alanah's pearce tweet" makes it a little bit less at antagonistic.
She did make an entire video and she referenced it today on her Twitter page. I just didn't add it into the video cos it would be fluff. She's also made a lot of tweets about this, I just didn't add them in cos it'd be fluff. Trust me, this isn't just off two twitter comments and I think everyone here knows that.

TBH, the first 10 minutes of the last MK film was excellent.
At this point in my life im not willing to argue with companies with a bad product.. im simply not going to buy any game from that company anymore.. I commend you all keep up the good fight though..
Video games are products. Make what people what . The end
Mike you mentioned the latest MK movie and it brought back the memory of the day me and my friend tried to watch it. The opening 20 minutes were promising but it nosedived so hard after the intro in way that my friend fell asleep minutes past the opening and I really dragged myself to the end. I don't have any hopes for the sequel. My only hope was that they get rid of the awful Cole Young character which unfortunately it's not going to happen. Such a waste when you have actors like Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobo Asano in the movie but decide to focus on such uninteresting character like cole Young. Also miss direct such talented actor in the role and manage to create the an idiot character out of Raiden. Watching Shogun recently I couldn't believe both these masterful talents were in that movie as well. Asano san's work as Yabushige was one of those performances of the lifetime.
Man, Shogun was such a brilliant show. Loved it from beginning to end.
Yo you gonna talk on the melonie mac situation
Yeah, I think I will. Probably a video up in a day.
What even is a “real gamer”
Apparently what Alanah is. Not us.
@ there is a lot of elitism in gaming it’s crazy man
A lot of game devs openly shit on a huge part of their audience and destroy IP they didn' t create. Schadenfreude can be ok and even fun. And btw many of them would love it if their perceived opposition lost their jobs.
I mean as much as game devs and creatives like to say that games are art, it's shown time and time again that it's not. Games are products, and if you come out with a product, the creator's vision no longer matters, the consumers' wants do. So put the products that the audience wants in the bag. That's the only way for the games companies to survive.
Am I in the ballpark here?
Yes and no. It's true that you need to put the right features in to please the consumer base, but not all games are the same or serve the same purpose. I'd still put it down to being an art form when you look at games like Okami, Journey or Shadow of the Collosus. You can see the style of game is drastically different to a FIFA, GTA or COD. Those feel more like products that have quotas they need to hit.
I don’t want to get my hopes up too high but Todd Garner did acknowledge some of the issues the first MK film had. Hopefully the second film is much better. I still can’t get over how Jax just grew bigger metal arms out from his body as his Arcana 😂
Literally one of the dumbest moments in the film and there was a few 😂
I have Playstations 2-5, the Nintendo Switch, And an XBox 360 hooked up right now. I have A Dreamcast, Genesis, PS1, Gamecube, and Turbo Graphic 16. No company bought me my counsel's. No company gave me review copies. No ones paying me to do my hobbie. It is not a job. Does that sound like a tourist? Short awnser no.
you could've called it "love yourself squad" lmao
😂😂😂
When she get caught lying about bmw devs crying they lost, says a lot about her as a person than us being fake gamers
Imo it shows that people like her barely do the research to understand why people "Hate" the game. Kameos i love the idea, but if they wanted it in the game, it shouldve been like a side mini game kinda fight mode like how Tekken Ball is. People like her act like people on twitter speak out for the whole gaming community. Twitter is a hostile environment you get abusive aggressive mugs on there in every community. It really makes everyone question people like Alanah, "how long have you been part of the gaming community?".
It’s a semantics thing imo. I don’t think anyone is “celebrating” canceled games (at least people who aren’t crazy). People aren’t losing sleep over it either though.
The WWE/ AEW analogy is Great.
WWE was very very... Mid ass for a good 2-3 years.
I think when Cody came back, and Hunter took more control it got a lot better.
I think that's what was wrong with Mk1 , and MANY GAMES.
they took risks, but didn't take the care to be more proactive to make it work.
Tbh mk should've been getting updates every 2-3 months or they should have been much bigger.
I'm playing outlast trials and GOD I want more content.
So if someone works hard to create a product and the consumers tell them the product sucks, the consumer is supposed to still support? Absolutely not. Thats not how the world works, and its never worked like that. If a game sucks, it sucks. No one is obligated to support a company because they worked so hard on it. Alanah is the same person who defended Star Wars Outlaws, something both gamers and Star Wars fans despised and complained about how hard Elden Ring is.
Her takes have always been trash.
There’s a until dawn movie coming out? That’s interesting. All they have to do is stick with the source material and just add all into it so it doesn’t be predictable. And with that wolf man movie that just came out I heard that wasn’t good. They should do the quarry as a live action movie.
I really disliked The Quarry. It took so long to get good 😂
@ I think about chapter 3 that’s when it kicks off the crew is really good. That’s like on the same level as until Dawn.
Mike may judge things on a case by case basis, but I'm done with certain franchises for now lol. I played the hell out of MK11 as a casual, even went online to get some skins, MK1 has not been anywhere near that. I did the story, played a bit of whatever that weird mode is and now its collecting virtual dust. Tekken has been letting me down since tag 2, T8 is not it. MK2, Tekken 9? Not buying, if they go on sale for like $5...maybe I'll get them....maybe.
... who?
I would laugh my ass off if NRS decides to have kAmEoS for the next MK game. 😂
I'd pull my hair out 😂
They ARE paying attention, but you have to FORCE behaviours. ''REAL''' gamers dont question their masters. Please sir, can I have some more.
The simple fact is, WE have the power. If you want OUR money you have to earn it, and unfortunately the state all media is in just now is dire. Why should we give money to people who openly hate us? why should we be excited for something that wants to spit in our face? How do we know we dont want something?, simple, its called experience.
Gamers and devs used to have a great relationship, but then we started getting games broken at launch, awful predatory monetisation, the destruction of our favourite franchises, mockery, hostility and political ideologies and agendas but somehow we're the bad guys.
i mean if nrs does a polling on any of their socials or webpage asking at least these two things to the fans, 1) Kameo or 1vs1, 2) Fast gameplay like MKX or slow like MK11, is there really a chance that 1vs1 and slow wins the poll? i mean i totally undestand the gambling part and taking risks but man you can put kameo as a game mode... and about these guys, why would you want to praise anything that suckss and is poorly done, specially someone that's involved in the scene, don't get it
I want see her game collection then want call me and other's fake I can happily show my games on steam 😑
I need to complete my sleeve bro😅
