He posted a video defending Jessica Price last Friday and deleted it about an hour later when everyone in the comments was calling him an idiot.

Notice how I said most of the time in my post

Where does he say anything about it only having 'cosmetic DLC'


Nowhere because he doesn't fucking need to. Because there's no need to make the distinction because again literally anyone who isn't you knows this

Darmik posted...
(like that's this huge fucking difference)?

Yeah, there's a huge difference between DLC and microtransactions. They aren't conveniently interchangeable for whenever it makes your beloved faceless mega corporations look good

Microtransactions are designed to be a constant stream of revenue with fluctuating prices. DLC is a one and done purchase with a fixed price for said digital good. You can buy the same microtransactions over and over and over but you can't buy the same DLC twice.

Darmik posted...
I checked out when he was raving that it won't have any shortcut DLC which is completely incorrect.

It doesn't, though. Literally all DLC in MHW are emotes and skins. And no, he was cheering that a major producer at Capcom saying they won't devalue the gameplay by adding a real world economy into it

You'd know this is if you actually owned and played the game.

Because they didn't want to advertise their game on a site that didn't give them a good review and GameSpot buckled because they were cowards.

They buckled because they already had obligations to follow after being prepaid for a good score, stop this desperate corporate shilling

I'm not defending them. I'm correcting your ignorance like always. What they did was still shit.

I'm not defending them I'm just defending them but I'm saying I'm not defending them so I totally am not defending them, that's totally how it works - Darmik 2018

Where does he say in the MHW video it will have microtransactions? It only mentions lootboxes. He doesn't need to distinguish the two when everyone who isn't you already knows what he's talking about


He doesn't. He just assumed a lot of shit from one comment and celebrated because he isn't good at his job.

One comment? This is reaching pretty hard even for your you.

If you read the article it says outright that MHW won't have either microtransactions or lootboxes

Why wouldn't you celebrate when a producer for a game says they won't put in microtransactions or lootboxes?

Where as MS says they won't have lootboxes but will have microtransactions. Nothing to celebrate about

Sorry but once again you have no ground to stand on as your desperate attempts at protecting your beloved faceless mega corporations falls short

The threat was always about pulling advertising money. As in the ads plastered on the site. Not disobeying a bribe.

Gee, why would they threaten to pull ad money? It's almost like they were upset they dudn't get an acceptable score for what they paid for.

Darmik posted...
Out of all of the hundreds of journalists out there that have written articles that have criticized how the gaming industry works (especially reviews) why do you think there hasn't been a single one who has claimed their outlet sold review scores.

Because they'd get blacklisted and would have no career, Gertsmann was a huge fucking whistleblower for this shit and the fact you outright deny it, only shows how willfully ignorant you are. And all for the sake of defending faceless mega corporations from the criticism of consumers

Absolutely pathetic

I've listened for 5 minutes and he spends the entire time raving about it not having loot boxes.

Are you this desperate to defend corporations that you've started spouting nonsense?

Gamers have this funny mindset where a game that's reviewed too high is paid for and a game that's reviewed too low is clickbait.

ITP: My precious mega corporations can never be at fault, it's those damn gamers expecting too much who are at fault

Darmik posted...
His example in the OP was a punishment made after the review too. If they simply asked for a score it wouldn't have happened

What I said happened exactly like that. Gertsmann has said.

He scored Kane and Lynch 2 lower than what they paid for and then threatened to pull ads so Gamepot canned him for it.

Darmik posted...
There can be conflicts of interest but ZP simplifies the issue as always. He never really knows what he's talking about. Paying for a review score is way too blatant.

Says the guy who desperately reaches at every point possible for the sake of exonerating mega corporations

Witcher 3 and GTA 5. I'll try to find the original versions I have screencapped but the GTA 5 one pretty much just whined about how no women were playable and their Witcher 3 review boiled down to "boobs are icky"


Rockstar and CDProjektRED paid for that?!

The number is all that matters.

Like it blows my mind when I see people point to scores from sites like IGN or Polygon as proof of a game's quality when it's clear the reviewers for these sites are literally just paid shills of publishers


I laugh at Polygon because that website and their reviewers are hot garbage, not because they're paid shills

It's both, they have to just slap a number the publisher deems acceptable and can then regurgitate their shit rhetoric all underneath even if it makes no sense relative to the game or score


What's an example?

Monster Hunter World won't devalue the game with loot boxes and instead just sell cosmetic microtransactions? This is the best!

MHW has cosmetic DLC not microtransactions. But you know this because we went over this and even after putting it to a poll the majority of CE agreed it was cosmetic DLC and not microtransactions.

Fans who throw tantrums over an 8/10 review intimidate reviewers far more than any publisher could.

Giant Bomb was literally founded because Jeff Gerstmann got canned from Gamespot because he gave a game a score the publisher didn't deem high enough.

He also whines about tourists while simultaneously got upset that the haunted house he worked at closed down.

TC's already admitting to having an alt anyways, so there is no downside to honoring his bet and closing the account. My only theory (and the only one that makes sense) is that he actually loves the attention.

Nah, my alts got the axe a long time ago. This is my last account

thoughts on your Twitter?

I never use it because I can't figure out how to use Twitter very well. I made it purely for shitposting purposes

Just the Switch outselling Wii U in less than a year.

Do you though? Youve been blinded by your Nintendo hate boner in the past

My hate for Nintendo is justified and always will be. But you're all too blinded by nostalgia to accept facts
