Gameplay is more comparable to piloting and you can't really give a good opinion on how a plane flies if you crash while taking off.

>>338038504
Regardless of Totalasscancer being a dumb fuck, you got so triggered it's not even funny.
You'd need to be a pilot to talk about how it flies, just as you need to be half-way competent at videogames to give actual advice on whether or not Doom is a good or a bad game.
This is not Life is Strange, you don't play for story, and this is not Crysis 3, you don't play for the graphics.
This is Doom you play for the gameplay.
There's a reason people don't trust game "journalists" when they talk about fighting games, because if you cannot function with a controller in your hand, your opinions are not to be believed.
>>338038715
Or at least not being completely incompetent at it.
>>338038801
That was an Nvidia spokesperson showcasing the game running on their new graphics card.
It's just someone spinning people laughing at people being bad at videogames into some gamergate drama faggotry. There, saved you a read.
Sensationalist bullshit, who would have guessed
It's a tough game if you're only used to linear style shooters. I'd say most people don't play arena style games where you have to constantly move and almost play it like it was a sport. I understand why someone would play that way, but why upload the footage? That's some /v/ type shit, intentionally trying to make a game look like shit because you're so desperate to be right.

This is a perfect analogy
And, guess waht? That DOESN'T MEAN THEY ACTUALLY CAN DO A GREAT MOVIE.
No, videogame critics don't need to play well, they need to KNOW video game DESIGN. Which they also fail at, but that's an entirely different story.

>>338038715
Where did I mention gameplay? Call me dumb when you learn to read.
>>338038802
Some people value gameplay over story, for example, others do not. It is a free market and everyone can listen to reviewers they believe best evaluate the aspect of videogames they enjoy the most.
>>338038817
No you wouldn't. Thank you for the argument.
>>338038831
>>338038848
As I said, gameplay is not all that important to some people. They might not care about how the game handles or what frames it runs at. They might care about what story it tells, what characters and narratives it embraces, how diverse the cast is, etc. It is a perfectly viable approach when selecting which piece of media you will consume, and thus, it is a perfectly viable thing to review these aspects of a game and place them above the rest, since this is what your audience values.

I just don't get it. how can polygon even publish that video, did no one check the quality of their videos before publishing? are they all fucking bad at playing video games, that's impossible because there are some souls videos boss guides in their YT videos, who in their right mind in the company watched that gameplay video and thought it would be fucking ok to unleash it onto the internet? I understand that polygon and these journos in general operate on pure cronyism but this is just plain incompetence.
If people are going to take this seriously then the issue here is that this person/people are paid to play games and comment on them for others to get an idea of the product they seek to buy, they make a living doing this, if they cannot play the games how is their opinion of them of any value, how do they still have their job. This is like a hockey player who cant ice skate.

This is actually harmful in more ways than someone feelies getting hurt because people said they sucked at playing a very simple game.

and that is absolutely valid. my issue here however is that DOOM is not a story-heavy game, or the story isn't the focus. why should I trust a review of a gameplay-focused game by a reviewer who doesn't play or enjoy those kinds of games?

I assume you didn't see the video?
It honestly looked like the first time EVER playing an first person game (let alone a shooter, or a fast paced shooter) on a controller.
They never aimed and moved at the same time, they arkwardly strafed around with the camera perfectly still, stopped, aimed (poorly) and fired.
It had all the hallmarks of someone who had trouble grasping the concept of moving through a 3D space from first person. It played identically to when I tried to get my mum to play Portal.

Because creating a great movie requires a high level of skill and talent of many, many people working together in a focused direction. Which is actually the same as making video games.
The only way this analogy applies is if we're suggesting some people inherently watch a movie worse than someone else watches a movie. Which is true to some extent, I suppose, because some people are mentally retarded or don't have an attention span that goes beyond their phone screen or tries to discern sexism in a loaf of bread, but then I don't expect those kinds of people to be reviewing films so I don't see why I should be okay with them reviewing video games.
>>338039585
They don't. I am just pointing out that you need to know how to play games to know game design. That is the basic. The dude suggest other.

Never did I say otherwise. I play many racing games not really for the systems, story or character development themselves, but because of the relaxing nature that many of them have. But I would never go out and make a review of Grid when I barely put any thought into it and used it as a pass-time while listening to music/podcasts.
And, in this case, we are talking about Doom, a game that has no story, no character development, a competent art-style and not that jaw dropping visuals.
If you are interested in Doom, you want to play the systems, you don't give a damn about how Doom guy feels about killing demons.
I repeat my fighting game example: you don't make reviews on the story of Tekken because that's not what the game even wants to convey.

I fail to see how the author establishes a fragile tertiary connection between goobergaters and the blowhards at polygon sucking at a basic tenet of their job: playing games. a couple youtube comments making sjw jokes isn't really any evidence. just about any youtube video will have some of that as background noise.
the reality of it, in my opinion, is it demonstrates that polygon's brand of journalism isn't particularly vested in the gameplay of games but rather the messages they see the games put forth. In any other medium, before one would levy such heavy criticism you'd expect that they have strong fundamental understanding of the subject at hand. People have long felt polygon's journos lack this understanding and watching their laughable gameplay kinda proves it - whoever made that video definitely never played the original doom on DOS, or quake, or unreal, etc etc. It seriously brings into question their credibility to comment on the most basic aspect of the medium, let alone the ethics of a game.
for people who take identity politics and cultural appropriation so seriously, it is ironic that they co-opt the ethos of "gamer" when they clearly haven't lived it.

Then again that applies to journalism in general, what a sad state it is in.
>>338039823
No, they're not they best. But for most people who are only passively into shooters it gets the job done.
>>338039720
I doubt that that changes much, because from the looks of it you can run around back and forth and the enemies will barely even scratch you. Seems that you take no damage in glory kills and enemies get stunned way too often.
>>338039750
Why I would buy a game that looks like shit? It fails to sell itself to me from the videos and there's no demo to download and try out.
>>338039118
That's a poor comparison.
"I can't make a video game" would be the same as "I can't make a movie", that is, both taking foundation in the development, not the experience or enjoyment of them.
Playing a game and watching a movie are the equivalents here, because watching is how you experience a movie and playing is how you experience a game.
Also you will not understand the intricacies of game design in the first place if you can't play above a certain threshold where you're proactively using those intricacies, which they aren't, so yes, it's a valid attack on their status as critics .

>He essentially stated that he used an elite controller on the Xbone, and apparently played with the sticks reversed(guessing he is a southpaw), but the problem was that this also reversed the triggers, thus the shoot button was on the left trigger making it very awkward to acclimate(he just wanted the sticks reversed). On top of that he complained the sensitivity of the elite controller profile he was using caused his aiming to overshoot targets constantly until he made adjustments.

As someone who is mediocre at games, I don't mind a reviewer being mediocre as well.

Because they have built an audience primarily interested by game mechanics and want to inform them on how well the game handles this aspect so that they know that it is not for them.
>>338039771
It might be a review aimed at consumers who dislike action-focused game and, like my example above, aim to warm them against making the purchase since it wouldn't be their cup of tea. It vastly depends on your audience as a critic.
>>338039827

That looks like the very first time I played a first person shooter. Only I figured out what I was doing wrong after 5 minutes.
This was played by someone whose job it is to play and properly review video games?
If I were id & Bethesda and their review was anything but complimentary, I WOULD demand their review to be re-scored by someone who knew what they were doing.
>Polygon: It's not a guarantee that a game will be bad when reviewers don't get it early — Blizzard notoriously doesn't send out review copies of its games in advance, for example — but it's usually a bad sign. With that in mind, I'm just going to say it: I don't know why Bethesda didn't want reviewers playing the new Doom early, because about halfway through, it's really not bad at all. In fact, it's occasionally pretty good, at least so far.
--from a pre-review excerpt at metacritic

that's like when grandmothers go watch found-footage horror movies and call them "mindless", "insensitive", "boring"; yes, other grandmothers will agree, but it's utterly idiotic to not expect horror movies fans to call her out on it.
And, as a """"critic"""" you should understand that receiving criticism for what you do/say is a given.

Rock Band 4 review by Ben Kuchera?
>>338040270
Their stuff was often good, sometimes even great, and at least generally not too terrible up until like 2010 or so. If you were hard in the habit you could have lasted to maybe 2012, or at least that's how long it took me to completely drop it. During that time though that fucking business manager they took on convinced mike (gabe) in particular to go on heavy medication, he generally commercialized the fuck out of them and made PA "safe" and "broad audience", etc. Plus then there was a bunch of personal shit like having kids and having them turn out to have mental issues or something. Gabe got heavily into tumblr.
At any rate it all went to utter shit. But it's not like they could never do something decent in the past. Maybe they've managed to refind a few of their old balls somehow, though that art still fucking sucks.

Other than calling you faggots gamergators, this is 100% correct. Some journalist can't into FPS and you guys use it as defacto evidence that the entire gaming journalism industry can't play real man video games. Then you go make a thread on how casual and shitty Doom 4 is.

Video game critics were, in theory, gamers who were good at games and could render opinions on them.
So having someone who can't even play through a tutorial level of an FPS rendering their opinion as valid critique is fucking stupid.
That's like having a xbot who only plays MADDEN and CAWADOODY review an RPG, or an RTS, or a 4x, or a GSG, or whatthefuckever. Actually, that's even what's happened; video game critics hate games with depth and complexity, and will shill for retarded bullshit with 1 gimmick or 'artistic vignette' games which exist because the kind of pretentious, over-entitled hipster fucks who shit out arthouse films aren't respected whatsoever in Film, so they moved on and are trying to force gamers to suck their ego-cocks.

There is no such thing as a gaming journalist. There are just People who couldn't find a real job in journalism who latched onto the lowest tier of news writing which is reviewing entertainment. But because they are so terrible and lack the ability to give a fair and honest opinion they tend to drift into "game journalism" they suck donkey balls at games because they dont really want to do this for a living.

Yeah the pace in which encounters get more difficult is quite slow. It really starts at around the mid section. Argent Tower leading into Hell is where things get kicked into gear.
The glory kills can have quite some variation depending on what limb you focus or what angle you melee and enemy at, but yeah they do get old rather quick and feel pace breaking unless you equip that one rune which speeds up the animations.

What’s going on here? You guessed it: Gamergate fallout.
When you review a game, I expect you to be capable of playing it properly and swiftly for a fair, unbiased opinion on the content. Watching a person shoot to the left of a stationary enemy for five+ seconds isn't a good representation of the media that is being displayed and reviewed. A 30 minute video should not compose itself of 15 minute failures to aim.
>>338039129
>It is a free market and everyone can listen to reviewers they believe best evaluate the aspect of videogames they enjoy the most.
But reviewers by proxy are supposed to be trustworthy. Obviously the more "hardcore" people who keep up with news and whatever are going to know about sites like Polygon being awful for getting reviews but if the average consumer wanders across a review or article of theirs they can buy or not buy a product based on that, following the opinions of the supposed critics.
>>338042752
At first I thought it was supposed to mean
>Deport him back to Germany
since that is where his family originally came from so making hum "Drumpf" again could be interpreted as sending him back.
That does not seem to be the point behind it at all though. Rather they just think the name sounds silly.
Also the German word is Trumpf, not Drumpf
Im curious. Did poligon made a "review" of doom already, or they are quiet since that video?
>>338042620

The same reason they'll say 'goobergate' or some varient of it, It's a 10 year old's mentality of "If i mispronounce it its hilarious and it shows I dont like it"
It's like a grade school bully calling a kid named Sheldon 'Shmelldon'
the solution to all this is so simple if journos and vidya players would just consider it.
some games are actually games, and some games arent actually games, and are just somewhat interactive experience made to tell a story or send a message. There needs to be a separation between these two things. They can't be lumped together as the same thing. These manbaby journos are obviously more suited to reviewing some narrative focused walking simulator than actual games that have goals or challenges in them. They shouldn't be reviewing stuff like Doom.

I don't want to convince you to buy it in any way, I wouldn't even recommend it at its current price tag. The singleplayer does a good job at capturing what doom is and I don't think it is lacking identity. You are right on the multiplayer though and snapmap is probably not going to change that with its limitations.
If you can get it for cheap some day, I'd say go for it as it can be a very refreshing, but short experience.

Where's the challenge in pushing a stick forward for 4 hours for a character to develop through communication through a radio?
>>338043501
we're talking technical goals here. Plus if you're getting actual emotional development from a piece of media like a movie, book, or game, you need to get out more.
>>338042804
What else are they supposed to write about? After years of reading and talking about announcements, releases, delays, gameplay and graphics even the most die hard vidya reporter becomes disinterested in the medium. But now they realize they're in their early-mid 30s and have no job experience in other fields so they hate their job and start covering everything else that even somewhat sounds more interesting that the subject at hand. Be that social issues, political issues or start to overanalyze what's in front of them to the point of shoe-horning in a message just isn't there.

Was it a polygon guy who did the Rock Band "review" where he just talked about he's too SOPHISTICATED to play something as banal as playing video game instruments and he was too busy doing GROWN UP stuff like discussing foreign politics (aka he heard a mention of a foreign politic leader on the radio and wanted to bring it up to sound smart).

It was obviously some girl that has never touched a controller before.
>>338044405
yes
he later backpedaled and said the article was a satire and he was making fun of himself(?)

I haven't played DOOM in a good while, but from the looks of it the new game tries to be a mix between Quake and DOOM.

Yes, that was Polygon.

fuck everyone who reads RPS on a regular basis
>>338039563
Yeah it looks like you guys have it totally under control over there.
>>338044405
oh god i forgot about that one. that article was gold. he even mentioned drinking fizzy water, and used phrases like "its good. I guess..."
I've never read something so cartoonishly stereotypical in my life.

I know, but "cripplefag" just sounded kind of forced. Being a cripple is already bad, it doesn't need the fag at the end. Would be like saying "retardfag", "Manletfag", "micropenisfag", etc
>>338044678

what is this, a cuck for ants?
>>338044779
What if they're a fag with a micropenis? or a tiny fag?

Because gamers laughing at non-gamers absolutely sucking ass at games is a... CLASH OF CULTURES!!!11!111
It wouldn't even be a "culture war" if these non-gamers didn't hamfist themselves into gamer culture (i.e. games journalism).
Real talk though, the guy in the video played like my kind sister holding a controler for the first time. Actually, he played even worse than that.
He is completely incompetent at gaming and therefore has no business being in the games business.
>>338044965
that's real
>>338044419
You should be good at games to review them.
How is it that Youtube retards are more reliable game critics than the people professionally paid to review games?
>>338044965is Judy real?
What the fuck even was gamergate? I don't remember much of it since I normally reside on /co/.
>>338045129
Based.
>>338045146i wishhas anyone shooped nick and judy into that image of Doomguy holding his rabbit's head and being really pissed off yet?
>>338045129
So can someone explain this empowerment/power fantasy thing to me?
Male empowerment/power fantasy is having sexy badass male characters doing sexy badass things.
What's female empowerment/power fantasy?
>>338045129
This right here is how people should deal with outrage peddler BS in real life.
Just walk away.
>>338040017
Blaming the controller is literally the oldest excuse in the book of Why I Suck at Gaming. These people have the mental capacity of children.
>>338044579
>>338044419
>from being a bad healer to being far too attractive and clever
Even when doing an article on a "serious issue" they suck themselves off.
>>338045323
>What's female empowerment/power fantasy?
complaining until something changes
>>338045323
>What's female empowerment/power fantasy?
Having a career, being single, moderately attractive with some minor flaws that could easily be overlooked.
Exciting huh?

I love RPS, but John Walker is such a fucking crybaby, it's all he does. He has no actual journalistic talent either, articles like this have become his gimmick and each one is more self indulgent than the last. I just skip anything with his name on nowadays, it's fucking pointless.
All their good stuff is guest writers now.
>>338041447
underrated post
>>338045323
having all men be castrated and unquestioningly do everything they say at all times.
>>338045323
Having sexy badass male characters doing sexy badass things at their command.
>>338045323
Romcoms.
It was gamergate all along huh? i knew it was them.
>>338045362
It's funny too because the controller has literally evolved to the point of perfection. As far as Gaming controllers go, you don't get more simple and perfected than the Xbox game pad that is currently the standard
>>338045129
I don't get what theyre after. Most video game mcs are burly white dudes. The apparent epitome of manliness. Women are given the same treatment in the sense of being, in the same way, unbearably sexy and all powerful.
There isn't that much of an imbalance. Why isn't their scope removing power fantasies in general? Everything should be simple and realistic. You're not powerful. You're not special. You're just sentient creature xyz performing remedial tasks that anyone else in that universe can.
