Hmm, I'm not so sure. As noted by the Mass Effect apology, this isn't the first time he's demonstrated an inability to grasp the basics. Then there's his Doom Eternal footage, as posted by Dreiko. His latest attempt was
a review of Modern Warfare, where the youtube comments are asking "Is this a bot?" and "Dude ur garbage" after he spent almost half a minute wandering around aimlessly, looking for a gun in Gunfight mode. Presumably he was playing with his co-workers or against bots, because the average online player would have smoked him within the first 10 seconds. Did I mention he was standing in the middle of the map without a gun, trying to pick up a grenade like Velma, trying to find her dropped glasses?
So yeah, I'm not convinced that he knows how to play games.
I never said anything about blowing up his career. If anything, he should be relegated to only writing about tech, and should be forbidden from touching a controller until he can demonstrate a grasp of the fundamentals. He keeps his job, nobody has to suffer his bad gameplay or ignorant opinions. Win-Win.
No we're not. I never suggested anything of the sort. Those are your words. Please do not put them in my mouth.
