Rayman2943 06/20/22 5:58:19 AM #1:	I'm not talking about weird gamergate shit. I'm talking about the need for every AAA game to need realistic graphics and try too hard to be art and copy movies. Heavy cutscenes etc. Its almost as if, gameplay is secondary. --- Cute dog lover <cite>Rayman2943 posted [p:965956329] in C/D: gamin...

Trumble 06/20/22 6:02:05 AM #3:	Reviewers aren't the ones who actually buy games. It's players accepting that that's lead in that direction. I do agree though, gameplay trumps graphics any day. I'd rather play Lemmings than the majority of modern AAA games. --- But I Trumble from there! http://error1355.com/ce/Trumble.html <cite>Trumble posted [p:965956360] in C/D: gamin...

Hayame Zero 06/20/22 6:12:59 AM #6:	D, it sounds like you're just cherry-picking the few TLOU type games out there, which don't even make up a significant fraction of gaming. Plus, Elden Ring was the most critically acclaimed game this year, and Hades nearly 2 years ago. --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame Zero posted [p:965956427] in C/D: gamin...

pinky0926 06/20/22 6:26:25 AM #7:	I watched Dunkey's anti-E3 video and it made me realise I hate the games industry now. At least, the big business AAAA title industry. There are so many culprits, but I don't think it's reviewers and journalists. People who spend $10,000 to win at a terrible mobile game. People who say they hate Call of Duty and then pre order it every year. People who say they hate bethesda's crappy testing standards and then rely on community patches to fix it anyway. People who continue to support nintendo's anti consumer practises by rebuying 20 year old games on switch for $60. WE are the culprits. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:965956518] in C/D: gamin...

All because it has cartoony graphics and wasnt all artsy like dumb tlou, rdr2, and a bunch of other crap.

Remember Driv3rgate, those pre-launch reviews that gave it a high score made people buy a glitchy broken game.

tremain07 06/20/22 6:54:36 AM #12:	Gaming reviews, Gatcha idiots, People applying to write Netflix shows worming their way on to writing teams, frat boy game developers and corporate yes men are ruining gaming there's so much nepotism, corruption and reed in this industry now it's like bootleg hollywood there's even pedo scandals, celeb drama and cult like worship of these "celebs" as well. I hate it, especially with how due to this success gaming companies have stagnated and become complacent and barely try to make good games anymore they just rely on the brand to sell and how long they can prolong it with overpriced DLC. --- A worthless existence <cite>tremain07 posted [p:965956727] in C/D: gamin...

Vyrulisse 06/20/22 7:04:59 AM #16:	They have but only because they sold their integrity out to publishers. Publishers wine and dine and literally pay them off in various ways for preferable and positive coverage. They got so in bed with them that now the publishers hold all the power and if reviewers/journalists say something they don't like they get cut off. --- http://i.imgur.com/6VeX04D.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk9mMbOpAaA <cite>Vyrulisse posted [p:965956800] in C/D: gamin...
