"Let's all stroke our chins about misogyny and then give excessive coverage to an indie game made by someone I know."
Damn, Yahtzee is throwing a bit of shade at the current state of some game journalists these days.
RIP. The guy definitely had a positive effect on the gaming medium. I can't believe he died at just 33 years old... Such a damn waste. I wish his family the best.
Sorry for the late reply but for some reason my account didn't show anyone replying to me. Good to see someone who likes history have another viewpoint about the game then my own. Still correct me if I am wrong but when it comes to brass tacks it feels like you are comparing game mechanics to...
Sad to say but the only people I see complaining about the "realism" don't exactly seem like the types who would appreciate history anyway. Also, Yahtzee has admitted to being shit at certain games before. If he was having trouble with the combat then he did need to "git gud" because it...
It's actually kind of refreshing to know that Yahtzee actually has a review channel he also fanboys over. Red Letter Media is a great choice btw. I would love to see Yahtzee hang out and play a game with Jack and Rich one day.
Generally that is true but only when he doesn't out right hate something. When reviewing a game he absolutely loathes he throws tact out the window and rips into it bone deep.
You didn't like the concept behind the Matrix or Nightmare on Elm Street? Then yeah this game is certainly not for you. Though it does leave me wondering why you care about a world in fiction being "fake" when all fiction is fake anyway. No horror you watch is actually real so I don't see a...
No the stakes are very real. Peoples spirits get trapped in the machine and if you die in the machine you die in the real world. I would liken it to Nightmare on Elm street. Like with Freddy what happens to you in the dream may not be real but it kills you all the same. The difference is that...
I am actually rather surprised he enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong it is a good game but Yahtzee never striked me as the type who would enjoy an old fashioned Contra style shooter.
I think asking the community directly for volunteers would at least garner a bit of good will and make them feel like they were part of the sites shift in focus. As for Defy I really don't know anything about them. As a simple user of the site the only thing I can really say is that it seems...
*shrug* Or you could tell them to instead focus back on tech and games? You know what the site is actually about? If all it takes is "doing it for free" then why stop here. Lets fill up the news feed with abortion topics who cares as long as the person posting it doesn't care about getting paid?
Maybe people come to the escapist for oh I don't know.... Tech and gaming news? At least that is what I have been paying my pub membership for. So I at least haven't just been taking this sites content for "free". As someone who financially supports the site how about some real content that...
