ass cancer

no good can come of it.

how much bad can come of it is debatable, but irrelevant, I think.

Yes. TotalCancer is right. What's the point of restricting people from using more than 10 minutes of game footage? It's not like someone can just claim they made the game when they clearly didn't.

Does he script these and just copy and paste a point he wants to emphasize about 40-50 times? Also, seriously, checking the settings menu for 20 minutes every video is ridiculous, and god forbid there isn't his personal resolution setting and 4xAA.

Why would you agree to embargos at all.

Video reviews are outdated, at least the ones that would have some kind of review embargo. It's just a sales pitch with all the highlights from the game without taking into account any of the moment to moment gameplay. Like The Witcher sounds neat but you aren't seeing 40 minutes of someone walking back and forth a mostly empty field while getting hounded by random encounters ever 30 seconds.
When a new game comes out and I want to know what it's like I'm going to watch some shitty let's play. Half the time these games are so on rails that that's the end of it. But if the game looks interesting and I think I can play it in a different/better way I'll pick it up.

It's EASY to keep it under ten minutes, but you should not do so. A video review is better the more footage it shows. Gives more information to the viewer.

That's his style. He checks the options menu, especially on ports, because mustards are interested in that.

Some of the options segments are lengthy I agree, but he found his niche. People watch it.

If you don't like long reviews don't fucking watch his stupid ass. Find some sperg lord that does two minute reviews and vomits his opinions with memes.

I'll never understand why you fuckwits have problems with things that are completely fucking voluntary.

>>323111836
>That rule NEEDS to be there.

No it doesn't.

>Otherwise people could ask for a review copy and narrate their way through the whole fucking game and it would damage their sales

So many things wrong with this. First off, only games that suffer from full LPs are bad games, which also suffer from honest reviews for the same reason: they're fucking bad. Secondly, even if we accepted that that's true, why ten minutes? Ten minutes is a fucking ridiculously short amount of footage. If you have to have a limit on footage, make it two hours. Nobody has made a two hour review on anything so it's clearly not a constraint, yet it would prevent people from doing what you just said (not that there's anything wrong with just making a full LP and calling it a review, in fact that would probably be the best kind of review).

Post more smugs you fucking weebs.

No he's right. A review shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to do. I don't want to waste anymore time than that watching a fucking review. If you can't sum up your opinions on a game in under 10 minutes you are not worth being watched.

A critique of the game however, which is what you are probably all thinking off should be much longer than 10 mins, as they go into way more detail, but they also assume you've already played the game and will contain spoilers. Plinketts style "reviews" are actually critiques. A review is simply "should you buy/watch/play this or not" a critique is critically analyzing the material from an educated perspective.

How? Most reviews back in the day on TV and the early internet didn't even use 10 minutes of gameplay footage, and were more than enough to judge if a game was worth playing or not. If you need more than 10 minutes of gameplay footage to do a review and pad it out, you're a shit reviewer.

If you want to fully critique the entire game in every single detail, feel free to do so after the game has launched, because you're basically doing a let's play by that point.

If you're agreeing to cooperate with a publisher for marketing purposes, then from a marketing point of view 10 minutes of footage is more than enough, regardless of what you do with those minutes and even if you end up saying the game is shit.

All a review needs to do is say: this game is shit and not worth playing and this is why/this game is worth playing and this is why/this game is in the middle and you should decide if you play it based on these points.

You don't need more than 10 minutes of fucking gameplay footage to explain that in a review. It's a fucking review, if you want to use more footage then label it as an in depth analysis or a critique and fuck off, but don't expect a REVIEW embargo to carry over to it.

This post is right though in regards to TB. People stroke his ego but he doesn't need to rank for as long as he does. His opinion isn't worth that amount of time.

I don't think reviews need to be longer than 15 mins but I want all my reviews to be just the direct feed. I don't need to see stupid meme images or the reviewers face. The review should be reviewer's voice over the game footage which highlights the points he or she is hitting on. Capping that at 10 minutes is dumb.

how much of a long winded rambler do you have to be that you can't condense your opinion whether something is shit or not to under 10 minutes?
though honestly is there anything stopping them doing a quick 10 minute "preview" saying maybe get this then later on do a full in depth critique?

I feel that 10 minutes is more than enough for a concise review. If that's not enough you could pad it with infographics and silly reaction image comics I guess. Interested in hearing the other side, but with actual arguments instead of a lazy appeal to authority like in OP's image.

It literally happens to the most followed (read: there's decent amounts of money circulating in the industry) field-oriented journalisms. Ferrari don't let every fucker ever try their cars to write a crappy review on their website -that would be impossible, other than fucking stupid-, they only stay in touch with professional reviewers/car expert critics.
Same happens in the movie industry, they send private copies to reviewers despite the fact they could (and often do) destroy them in their articles.
It also happen in the music industry in various country, dunno if murrica is one of them.
In fact, it happens in pretty much in any decent sized media-related journalism (read: if the subject/product is enough valuable/if the readers are enough)


Sorry if this triggers you this much.

It happened on console launch with crossgen/next gen titles because they needed money since installed userbase was too small and they needed more money, but we both know they'll release countless exclusives in the next 4 years and only a few will get a pc port.

I just can't see the difference with the videogame journalism industry.
Because they are doing the same thing the movie industry is doing, on paper. Sure, the situation got worse and worse with the time and now we have a majority of people who just aren't qualified to properly review a videogame in this field. Too bad they sit on the chair of those who worked before, with a bit of decency. In fact, American vidya journalism was one of the most respected in the world around 10-15 years ago; now they're a joke to the rest of the world.

But I'm still curious, how are they (devs/gaming companies) supposed to manage reviews in an ethical way?

>>323110614

I don't think journalists who worked at XBOX MAGAZINE or NINTENDO POWER were ever anything but shills. Maybe the poor bastards who ended up there used to have actual qualifications, though, unlike the current crop of professional bloggers.

Gaming websites popped up run by gamers for gamers and authentic critical reviews, but those sites became corrupted by industry bribes (hasn't the Neofag admin and moderation literally been on the Sony marketing dole for a long time?) and are also entirely untrustworthy now.

>>323123289
Paying for reviews is unethical, and you see why right?

Picking and choosing who gets to cover it guarantees positive coverage. The difference between mediums is in the choice. Then, them being reliant on getting the copies for revenue adds another whole batch of issues, as do the ads. It's a goddamn clusterfuck.

I do remember PC gamer being pretty damn good around that time. Other than all of the ads, the translated articles for other languages and stuff they were really solid. Ruthless as fuck but fair, and the demo discs were great.

All they can do is release their 'review copies' a reasonable time (based on their games play length) to as many outlets as they can and try not to pick and choose who gets review copies based on who gave them the most positive reviews. Because that's basically how it works now.

Not making shit games is probably the only thing the actual game developers can do to help reviews, because then the reviews don't have to lie about shit games being good.

Not that guy btw.

Oh, sorry I kind of dodged the last question there. It's actually pretty complicated and you can't just copy what they do for movies since games take so much damn time.
You can't just have an early showing or something, especially for a longer game like an RPG. I really don't know a good way around it. It'd be nice if we went back to actually having demos, but that's just a pipedream and has little to do with reviews.

>>323124840

He never said that. He said he doesn't like it and because of that won't have anything to do with it. He hasnt demanded publishers stop using those embargo terms he's just said he won't accept them.

>considering the amount of people who watch these types of videos before they buy a game 10minutes is acceptable and more than enough

He obviously disagrees, if you think its enough you can go and make your own 10 minute reviews but thats not how he does them.

>He is definitely an entitled bitch.

No he's just disagreeing and doing things his own way. There is nothing wrong with that.

>>323125832
>WE won't accept this!
>speaking on behalf of everyone because he thinks he's this important

By the way he most certainly can do a review in 30 minutes with just 10 minutes of gameplay footage. I don't know what idiot needs to watch a video game review over 15 minutes anyways. Its funny to think this man would lose everything if these companies didn't let him shill for them in the first place anyways though

But we don't get paid. I'm sure some huge American and British (maybe even German, not sure) websites are actually getting paid to write what publishers want, but that's a really fucking minority if we consider how many companies are getting review copies.

>guarantees positive coverage
That's why to this day I (alone) shitted on Ubisoft, Square, Capcom, EA (man how many insults) and a couple of high budget scammy indie studios, and yet they still keep giving us free copies.

I thought the same as you before entering this field, anon; I thought they were going to pay me to write good stuff or just censor me. It never happened and we're among the top 10 most visited websites in Europe (regarding videogame journalism): turns out most of the people working in this field just have shit taste.
>
Other than that, it's their job. I know in a perfect world people would do this for passion, but in reality, you need money if you (as a journal) want to do full coverage on everything and put all the needed hours into each game you have to talk about. It just can't work with the same results and efficiency if it's just people doing it in their free time. You can't go crazy because someone is getting paid to do their job and therefore they're unethical.

Also the ADS are then again another matter; actual reviewers can't control shit about ads, they don't even know which ads will be added to the site or who's paying for them, because the process is mostly automated and managed by another part of the company (it's usually a guy hired by the one who owns the website).
It happened various times that we shitted hard on a game and then the website started showing ads of that very game (last one I remember is Destiny on launch, but I'm sure we had another case with a Battlefield or a CoD, can't remember which one).

Obviously I'm only talking about what I see on MY job, can't be sure about how things are in America

Why do people watch reviews again?
You can pirate almost any PC game and try it out, which is a much much better thing to do than watch someone with different tastes say what they did and didn't like. The Xbox one and PS4 don't even have anything worth it to buy on there, so you can't waste your money buying games for them.

>>323124627
>to as many outlets as they can and try not to pick and choose who gets review copies based on who gave them the most positive reviews

Considering "semi-blog outlets giving fucking low scores on Metacritic just as a clickbait" are still a thing, I say you're only looking at a limited part of the problem.

Also keep in mind that the average non-qualified website would be more like Kotaku/Polygon than PC Gamer (which isn't say much, but still).

>>323126893
>But we don't get paid
I know. It's the why that's important.
>It never happened and we're among the top 10 most visited websites in Europe
That's probably why. Any smaller, and you're fucked.

Hosting their ads and being reliant on them benevolently sending you review copies so that you can actually sustain a reader-base makes the vidya press very partial.

>>323110614
This, holy fuck, especially since they get compensated and review copies and shit.

I'd FAR rather read a number of consumer reviews before I even think about watching a long-ass video review.

>>323128092
Not so sure anon. Sure we're the second most important magazine in my country, but there are at least 5 other websites here that don't even reach 5-10.000 facebook likes (which is saying a lot) and still get review copies and ads.
They don't even have a physical workplace, the few working there do that from their home.

Probably.

Are you saying you're one of those retards that has so little going on in his life he needs to feel like he cares about something so he gets all autistic and gets angry about these minute, idiotic things?

As an avid Spirit Science fan, I can confirm its completely different people that just ripped EC's style.

...Jordan is starting to look more like a Cult leader these days.

He's right though
I'm already wasting time with video games.

Nah, I don't believe a word he says. Me and my friends just get a ton of laughs out of their videos.Their latest one basically said that the moon was created by aliens or some "higher species" that was trying to save the earth.
Still not as good as the classic JEWS ARE ALIENS FROM THE FUTURE moment though. Or the Shit sandwich from the Sacred Geometry film.

I'm somewhat scared by how large of a following they have and get the feeling they might achieve Waco-tier cult status sooner or later.

Ah okay good.
I can see how you can be a fan that way.

This nigger's going to die this year and he's still getting mad about video games

Hey how about no review embargos period?

>>323110614
Why is everyone spazzing out over this?

>>323112601
Videogames aren't movies, and movie analysis don't take 10 minutes unless you're watching a quickie from Every Frame a Painting or something.

>>323137197
That's how I want to die.

>>323110245
>10 minutes
So 5 minutes of intro cutscene, 3 minutes of tutorial, and 2 minutes of the base game. Yes it is pointless.

>>323110614
If your review is longer than 10 minutes. It won't be longer than 10 minutes he will die of cancer before that.
