    I absolutely adore the juxtaposition of Coney approaching the anti-feminist criticism of GTA with a lot of nuance, exploring places like “Okay sure, but maybe that was the point?” “Well for a game of its era maybe it was still a valid criticism.” etc. and having healthy discussion with chat,
    Then you have Angry British Gamer who immediately goes “THE REVIEWER SLORPED THE FEMINIST FREQUENCY JUICE”

Even if I disagree, he'll always have a reasonable justification as to why he feels a certain way, he's good at articulating his perspective which I value. He'll also engage with chatters, and he never seems too dug in to shift his opinion if presented with a better argument.

Driving in GTA is fun, and they’ve even got planes, but I still like that I have the option to take a taxi when I want. Even in Spider-Man there’s moments where the subway is helpful.

    Game criticism is such a volatile tightrope. Once many gamers decide their own personal rating of a game and go to a review of it, their preconceived expectations are premeditated resentments. If the review differs any from how they rated the game or the game is critiqued in a way, the review is automatically terrible.
    There is of course some nuance. Sometimes criticism just aren't valid (Battle for Bikini Bottom getting a 2 is crazy) or if a reviewer isn't a fan of a series, some callbacks don't register to them, but sometimes it genuinely is the gamers. Like saying no one wants to think about the morality of their actions in a zombie game is kind of stupid in a story heavy game.

    I think the gta problem is fact the gta is a game where basically everyone is a shit person, but the women are only shit people in the most stereotypical ways possible. The probably mostly comes from the fact that there really aren't too many actually important female characters in it in the first place, which can be seen as a problem itself.

      I think this criticism only makes sense if you don't actually pay attention to the characters. Amanda, for instance, is certainly not a stereotype. Boiling her down to a "disgruntled wife" is either ignorance or dishonesty. It requires ignoring basically all actual interactions she has in the game.

    Why even bother asking if the GTA thing was a fair criticism or not? It doesn't matter. If there's one thing that Gamers™ despise more than anything in the world, it's feminism. If any reviewer ever suggests that they might agree with some feminists about anything ever, their review will 100% be bombarded with dislikes.

    There have been a small handful of games with fast travel that I've never used. Spider man is the obvious one but Sunset Overdrive is even better IMO because its more dynamic and interactive. Prototype was another one because the movement is so smooth in thise games and the fact that both games specifically have challenges geared toward movement says a lot imo

    As a person who was once a black teen with exaggerated swagger, the writer could have put it better. I get what he meant though. I assume he was trying to explain the playfulness of Miles' Spiderman compared to Peter's Spiderman which is more mature and experienced, that would be my guess. The line was cringy but I can't lie the meme's were classic.

    Also I said it once before so I’ll say it again Alien Isolation is not trying to be a badass shooter. It’s trying to be a “HORROR” game and the best horror games have slow build ups that proceed to reach climax. The game isn’t bad just because you don’t like it’s gameplay philosophy. It’s the same with turn based combat if you don’t like it then don’t play it. I really like the phrase “there’s no such thing as a game for everyone and that’s a good thing”. Sorry man but gamers want products that challenge their patience and intelligence. And thankfully Indie and double A games do that, were as the Triple A industry produces the same tired formulas over and over again. And it’s sad that the Triple A industry, and TikTok for that matter has ruined people’s attention spans to the point where any games that don’t tug the player along with a string or lack any trust that they can figure things out for themselves (yellow paint I’m looking at you) is considered inherently outdated or can no longer be praised.

    On the cyberpunk review he makes an overly charitable interpretation based on not having all the information. While yes, its fine to review a game while not engaging with some parts of it. It comes with caveats like informing the consumer of the fact. And if youre actively not engaging in mechanics then you cant review those mechanics. A review of "the games good but i dont care about crafting so i didnt touch it" is fine. But a review of "the games good but the crafting is bad tho how would i know since i didnt touch it." Is not fine.
    Also the whole police thing wasnt cause its an unimportant emergent side quest, but because it was 2020 so ACAB was a big thing so she thought shed get brownie points by advertising having actively avoided engaging with any content where you would help police

    There is 1000% something to be said about the construction of gender in GTA V. You can play it off as parody, sure, but the fact of the matter is that the game constructs genders according to the status quo when you can parody gender roles without contributing to harmful stereotypes.

    “Blinded by nostalgia” doesn’t work because as a member of generation Z, I played SpongeBob SquarePants The battle of Bikini Bottom for the first time on the same year the remastered released and enjoyed it flaws and all. Same with Quake 1 and 2 remastered, prior to them I was getting into the indie market and discovering what Boomer Shooters were. Dusk and Prodeus were the main indie games in this genre I played, then a few years later I bought Quake 1 and 2 remastered and proceeded to play them for the first time. Nostalgia has nothing to do with it when they were never apart of my childhood, in fact I’m far more critical of my childhood games like Skyrim for example. Again I’m a Zoomer so the Boomer card isn’t going to work with me.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a 9/10 game in art, 8/10 in story and a 7/10 in core gameplay. I fucking love this gorgeous game about a samurai having to go against his sincerely believed teachings to save his island against an enemy that trampled all those who adhered to the old ways.....and then the gameplay is a lot of picking the fighting style that you're told to pick for an enemy type, you do a lot of clearing enemy camps with a combination of stealth and brute force and the general gameplay is somewhat mashy offence and parry almost everything with some moves you have to dodge. Truly a Sucker Punch production, it deserves a 7/10 and I hope to god they're working a sequel where the core gameplay is so much more.

  • @FerousFolly

    wrote this in response to a comment saying the swagger line was racist, but I reckon it should be a primary comment as well:
    yeah no not really, it's an accurate observation and a good example of cultural representation in gaming;
    black american culture is very expressive and it's exaggerated amongst black youth because all teens exaggerate whatever behaviours they most strongly identify with (e.g. performative wealth for a rich kid, excess gloominess for an emo kid, voilence for an abused kid, etc).
    losing or reducing your exaggerated mannerisms is a key indicator of maturation in all of humanity as far as I'm aware.
    it was only cringe because they made the awful decision to have a white guy read a script drawing on the author's personal experience as a black guy.

  • @BedBugReviews
    @BedBugReviews 5 місяців тому

    even though i love the alien franchise and isolation specifically, i agree that the game does overstay its welcome, and it doesnt help that most of the weaker parts of the game come in the last third or quarter of the runtime. id also say its pretty hard to give an accurate runtime for the game since a lot of it depends on number of deaths and reattempting sections to try and make to that next save point.
    i also feel the difficulty is a large part of that, as my first play through i played on the second hardest difficulty, died over 100 times, and took over 20 hours (although i was new to horror games at the time). on replay on the same difficulty years later not remembering where to go and such, i think it was closer to 12-15. but the issue is i think the complex xenomorph ai in the higher difficulties is a huge part of what makes the game stand out and remain faithful to the franchise, but that of course makes the game more difficult and hence longer.
    totally understand if its not your thing, but id recommend staying until you beat the hospital level mission 5 if you want to give what the full game has to offer a chance, since the opening hour is a slow burn easing you into the gameplay, story, and atmosphere. if youre warming up to it after mission 5, definitely continue until you get too bored or annoyed later, so then you can enjoy more of what is special and memorable about the game. personally i think you can still "like" a game even if you dont finish it, because of a noticeable drop in quality from gameplay/boredom/frustration or annoying/etc.

    Video games will always have an influence on society and culture even if the discussion around that influence doesnt happen. Its important to still discuss and analyze it so we can understand the 'why' of the influence. Even if the games purpose is to "turn off your brain".

    Ghost of tsushima was just so fucking solid. 8/10 would be fair. My playstation is still full of screenshots from this game. Sekiro has better combat and enemy's yes. But got has a better stealth system with more options, good and flashy combat on top. The online mode was fun too.

    I want to say, Cyberpunk fu**king sucked at lunch, the game was unplayable garbage with a lot of bugs, unfun mechanics and a mess of a game structure. The game became only good after the 2.0 patch that reworked so many things that is basically a new game. Is the game perfect? HELL NO. The game is still filled brim with bugs (especially a very bad one that gives you permanent invincibility for the rest of the game, corrupting your file, needing you to use a exteenal software to fix it just because you used an ability), the story it's still very linear where decision that the player made doesn't effect the story at all, the driving sucks, ncp ai it's sometime even dumber than postal 4 AI, a secret ending is locked on a specific line of dialogue on a random mission. But even after all of this, I still find it a better game than fallout 4. The things that the game does right are really well made, the game really fulfill the power fantasy, the Melee combat is amazing, the writing is good and the game is filles with lovable characters you get attached to. I'm right now doing a second run of the game running a body build

      As someone who got ridiculously lucky in that the only issues i had with (launch version) Cyberpunk on my ps5 was crashing, it was a genuinely great game if you were able to actually experience it, and i think that's the main reason why it even came back so strong. It was incredibly jarring to finish my playthrough and go online to see how everyone else felt about it.
