hm, I was doing a site study today and saw a firewatch tower and it reminded me of this game. It was only a few months ago but it seems like everybody forgot about it, and I would guess because the story concluded so poorly.
Does anybody remember anything from that game? It was so critically acclaimed. I'm one of those art fags that actually enjoys this shit, but I could tell you vividly narrative moments in Bloodborne from a year ago, and can hardly recall FW besides it being very orange.

I remember watching some gameplay of it before it came out. It seemed like a neat idea but I think if you didn't have any interest in the characters you'd quickly lose interest. Also it seemed like the directions were a little obtuse from what I remember.

Video games are for children, because they are video games.

>>340096679
Do you know why you believe that? Honest question.
It was a marketing tactic used by Sega in the early 90s that has plagued Nintendo since. Saying Nintendo make games for kids is like saying Sony make games for weebs, or Microsoft make games for frat boys. There's a diversity you're completely neglecting if you honestly believe what the media has conditioned you to believe.
So if calling out Polygon for being retards for being shit at Doom now is saying that publications don't represent the gaming public, what the fuck was Gamergate?

>>340096921
I think a big thing to is that those moments felt organic and as if you were approaching them and crafting them within BB. In FW it is just said straight to you, with little agency. It had no real impact on you, unlike the latter. However other narrative focused games have managed to achieve that feeling.
>>340096846
This is true, the characters were at least unique by contemporary standards. Never seeing the secondary lead or even your own body is in its own way a novel concept, but it wasn't executed in a particularly interesting or exciting way. Nothing made me care about either of them. I wasn't invested in either of their stories because they were for the most part very bland.
>>340096975
Did you play it?
>>340097340
It was Kirby Rainbow Curse, but they're just that incompetent.
>>340097169
Medical bay right in the beginning was bullshit. The rest of the game was pretty well-balanced.
>>340097340
The stylus kirbybis surprisingly challenging. At least to 100% the game and not just run through it. But people are turned off by the kiddie looks.
>>340097372
Well, technically you don't have to be good at a game to enjoy it, but blaming the game for you being shit at it is completely retarded.

This both hurts and enrages me. Holy fuck. There are no meme images on this earth that can adequately describe what I'm feeling right now.
>>340096550
The AI really is pretty bullshit though. I played it through on hard the first run, and by the end of the game spamming the flamethrower and just sprinting to the objective becomes one of the only viable options. The alien will just fucking home in on your location when you're completely silent and hidden, and with some of the areas requiring you to backtrack multiple times. I liked the game, but I was definitely ready to be done with it before it ended.

The audience for gaming sites is also quite small. It's the small group that cares enough tor read reviews but isn't smart enough to see through the bullshit.

>>340097170
>believe what the media has conditioned you to believe
Are you seriously trying to deny that nintendos target audience are children? I never said anything like "Nintendo makes games for kids", I said they're targeting kids with their games. Their whole marketing campaign is about children. The same as sony is targeting dudebros with their markeitng campaign. You have to be absolutely delusional if you think a company as big as nintendo wouldn't do some research and target a specific audience with their products, and seeing how they're still targeting them it's probably working as intended since they're still in business.

Same. I think western games have too much story and lack of care for gameplay. And the writing all sucks. We need an indie company to rise up, present an amazing game and present the means to do it. An indie company that gets Kickstarted, and follows through. One that gets enough popularity and momentum that it becomes GOTY material and revolutionizes how the west makes games.

You don't have to be good, jesus christ, but you have to at least know some basics if you're going to review a game. Just watch the whole of >>340097306 if you have 4 minutes to spare
>>340097803
It may be possible.
1. Learn about video games. Play many genres, and understand why you like or dislike them. Understand that they are a medium of their own and what you must do to adequately review them is not necessarily the same as a film reviewer, for example, must do. Would maybe help to learn some game design.
2. Learn how to write properly, learn about journalism, take a media ethics class, understand the connections between journalism and democratic ideals.
3. This is, perhaps, the most difficult step. You now have the skill to be what you want. You need now an opportunity. Sadly, with the exception of maybe getting lucky through Youtube, you're going to need connections. You don't become a writer of an established site, or magazine through your curriculum, or your skills. You do it through your friends. Nepotism at its ugliest. You need to be part of the gang without sacrificing what you accomplished in the first two steps.

Feels good that fighting games are still pure from the plague of modern games
>no matter what you like, there's a game for you
Guilty gear Revelator
Blazblue Central Fiction
King of Fighters XIV
Tekken 7
Killer Instinct
All just as good as they were in the 90s. Full of waifus and titties if you're into that, and don't like DOA's gameplay. Gameplay is first and a great story does not get in the way. Nowadays they're accommodating to new players without dumbing down the mechanics in the games I listed (except tekken 7 arguably). This focus on pure gameplay means reviews don't mean anything, you gotta watch videos and try the game out yourself to see if you like the flow. Reviewers will always pretend to have been fans from the start and won't admit that they can't play the game so they'll give it a high rating to keep their cred. SJW nonsense is virtually nonexistant. There will be the occasional complaint about busty fighters but they'll never play the game or get their voice heard over in Japan so its a non issue.
If you don't like fighting games that's fine too, we all have our tastes.

Should you be good at video games in order to review them?
>>340097972
No shit Sherlock but they're deflecting attention from their own shittiness. If they want to be shit and enjoy video games, that's fine but they want to be a reviewer, an authority that people listen to in order to help their purchases. They are expected to have a certain amount of expertise in the medium they are reviewing and to be inherently pro-consumer. Game reviewers have neither property, they are consistently bad at the games they play making them awful sources to turn to for opinions since you'd have to have only one fucking arm to play DOOM that poorly and they're constantly sucking publisher and developer cock while shitting on consumers.

How are you to comment on mechanics or how the difficulty scales if you're dogshit at it?
Anyone who can't grasp gameplay mechanics shouldn't have a say on the game, period.

I was referring to the idea of "you don't have to be good at games to enjoy them." You do have to be good at games to review them, or at least good at your genre. I wouldn't review an FPS as I now suck at them due to age, but I could review RPGs.

Media fag here, I can explain.
1- People in gaming journalism are deemed the trash of the media world, even people who report on pseudo-pseudo-cultural events (tattoo parlors, sub, sub culture shit) have more respect that them, while still deemed trash too.
2-They get paid in trash
3-They are often seen trying to escape their failure box by rubbing off some other people in other media, for it is a dead end job.
4-THEY DON'T LIKE VIDEOGAMES, often they hire some guy relative or some failed journalist, or journo school graduates who worrk 4 free. People who liked videogames and reported on them were annihilated back during the great media holocaust of 2005, as printed media could not longer survive. This is why you get SJW, womyn, and other shitheads who have no business in this industry, and why they want the industry to pander, they got a massive ego despite being, once more, TRASH.

The only problems with Isolations is that it overstays its welcome and IGN got something right for once, it loses the fear partially due to that. Never played or seen anything from Firewatch so can't comment on that.

>>340096213
Alien is mediocre though. It's far better than Firewatch, but it's not a good game. It isn't scary, the xeno AI is too predictable and easy to exploit, and the game has far too much padding. Seriously, like half of the game is filler bullshit. People overrate it because it looked nice and wasn't pure shit like Colonial Marines.
>>340099359
Trump hates video games so doesn't that make him the SJW side of the gamergate controversy?
>>340099370
if we get them to set up a budget and everyone works for free for the first year maybe it could work
>>340099537
They aren't journalists, they're bloggers.
>>340099445
Bias being bad is a shit meme.
As long as they're biased in favour of good games, and in this case shitting on the disaster that is videogames coverage, it's completely okay.
Otherwise you call them out for having shit opinions, not for the bias itself.
>>340099510
Don't forget that the best review site out there is, unironically, Christian Centered Gamer.

It's not working and therefore not being able to afford to go out. You can go in and out of that phase at will.

We're offensive. We're controversial. We start out reviewing SJW-shit games. We bash SJWs. We all make Tumblr accounts and say "look at these racists and sexists!" The retards at tumblr will advertise us for us. We'll promote ourselves by bad talking us on SJW sites.
>>340096976
>fat people still have food references in their clothing
I am laughing.
Why does gaming journalism still exist? How do they get funding? Who goes to those sites? Who actually bases purchase decisions on reviews?
I'd much rather trust a stuttering teenager doing a gameplay commentary on youtube than professional journalists.

Oh boy gamergate is at it again. Cant wait how they will even more fuck up the image of gamers as whiny manbabies who dont wanna include anyone else but themselves in their elite club.
>>340099585
But he's right.
But Trump will be too busy with other things to care about stupid shit like videogames.
>>340095532
Games have become so diverse and divisive, that you simply post an objective score on them anymore.
As someone who thought they were out of competitive shooters, I think Overwatch if fantastic, but it's not for everyone. You can also go out and give 9's and 10's to MOBAs and survival games, but I'll probably rather buy the next Dynasty Warriors, because that's what I'm into.
Polygon and Kotaku are fucking idiots, but they at least act as containment sites. Calling for the closure of such outlets means that hacks that work there will just infect other sites that you might prefer.
Don't listen to others and never buy a game because /v/ told you to either.

Based on their anti-adblocker policy I'd guess yes.
>>340095532
So Overwatch got good reviews because it's more casual than Clash of Clans?
>>340099621
This is fucking hilarious. Remember in the 90s and such when these christian conservatives called games dangerous?

They're called moralists and they still exist only this time they cropped up on the Left rather than the Right of yesteryear. You may know them better as Social Justice Warriors.
They are two sides of the same coin.

Not quite. Otaku have ruined fighters. Guilty Gear is the best example. It was never about the waifus, but now it is.

I can attest to that. Watching all the high-quality print magazines and their qualified staff die was heartbreaking.

>Oh boy gamergate is at it again.
Not really. You're just an idiot because we had loads of threads making fun of polygon together when they posted their 30 minute doom preview (when it was actually the first 5 minutes, but Gies or whatever his name is is so retarded he made them into 30 minutes)
You're either a shill, a tumblr newfag or a baiter (read: retarded)
>>340099510
Because they're not a video game site. They have no attachment to the small circle of game-journos, and are therefore free from their grubby hands.
They easily see through their facade of being "highly cultured" and whatnot, while also putting it into proper words, instead of the average /v/irgin who just slams the S,J, and W buttons constantly.
>>340098997
You should at least be competent and have some experience with the genre.
>>340099585
Trump is pandering to a group of conservatives who feel anally destroyed by Obongo and liberal policies that to put it kindly, solved jack shit. The private sector are the only ones making America Great Again.
I do not even know what Trump real game might be, I am betting on softening policies to Chinese Products and other policies their supportes will never hear of, as the man himself is a puppet, and he will ride on the "The Wall".
And I sitll think he might be better than Hilary by a small margin. There is something about that woman.

Those journalists who claim that it's impossible to write objective reviews should be shown this site, but the nu-males who write for them would probably be in a corner crying just because the site has Christian in the name.
>>340099740
I think I just might.
>>340097803
How DO you become a writer in the games industry anyway? Do you have to be a programmer/developer who specialises, or can you just go in as a writer? if so, how? It's not like you see adverts for it on job sites.

I have no idea.
Does Firewatch have enough to explore to be worth the money or is it one of those games that, once you play it once, you have no reason to ever play it again?
Like, I'm fine with walking simulators and exploration themed games but content is nice.

"Conservatives" fought and are still fighting against Trump. They do not like him. Cruz was their guy. You are so full of shit it's astounding you aren't embarrassed when you open your mouth.
>>340096252
They're in the business to promote their advertiser's products and/or position. Same as every other field of "journalism"
>>340100263

>>340099510
Because they're actual journalists, whom people rip apart left right and center if they get things wrong.
The standards for "video game journalism" are so appallingly low when compared to "business" journalism.
