How can you consider yourself a gaming news outlet if your only points of reference are heavily marketed AAA budgets? Also, what the fuck does this comparison even mean?

maybe his point is that comparing zelda to skyrim is as stupid as comparing mario to dishonored

More like Nintendo's Gears of War

>>380433747
Like Dishonored with mustache.

>>380433747

skyrim is way better than fart of the wild

Some sites got better, some sites got worse. I think the problem with Gamergate was the same is the same as pretty much any other amorphous social movement that lacks any centralized leadership to speak of. It started off with relatively noble intentions, but then flew off the rails as it became co-opted by assholes who just wanted to be part of a mob.

Underrated.

gaming “journalism“ is such a joke

why are these retards even allowed to publish their bullshit. like who reads it and takes it seriously?

>>380437237
The core concept of gamergate is something that is well known since videogame journalism was born: it's corrupted as fuck, and those that can will take advantage of it. Everyone mocked the ten-out-of-ten-by-IGN way before gamergate.

Even if GG had a prominent figure that could speak with a loud and clear voice for the greater good, it wouldn't have changed anything, since it's physically impossible to regulate videogame journalism.

One good thing spawned from gamergate: more independent journalists. Whether you like and agree with people like Jim Sterling and TotalBiscuit, their opinion is inherently more valuable than any other videogame journal/site since they at least they hold a bit of deontology in what they do.

>>380439040
There are a lot of goofballs in this world, anon.

It did nothing of the sort. Journalism is still the same "suck AAA-companies cock for a review-copy" deal. But then again, gamergaters never really cared about journalism, they just wanted an excuse to doxx and threaten female devs, indie devs they didn't like and everyone they thought was a SJW.

Now we are eternally stuck with AAA-shills because any critique againgst how it is now will just be diminished + gamergate screwed everyone over by taking the hobby back to the shame-closet again.

THANKS GAMERGATE

I have yet to meet someone who liked dishonored

Sterling and Totalbiscuit was around before GG and you cannot attribute their work to GG. If anything, Totalbiscuit has lost some rep because of GG.

They want the credibility of other journalism, but being reliant on the companies providing games they're either too scared or too lazy to do anything that would really pass as investigative.

The guy who said "Skyrim with guns" about Far Cry 3 wasn't really a games journalist, though. People associate the quote with IGN, but it was actually a guy at Machinima who said it. He's more of an eceleb.

I think I might understand their logic.

It's absolutely retarded, but...

Skyrim and Dishonored are both owned by Bethesda. Zelda is the equivalent of Skyrim because It's open world and there's swords. Mario Odyssey is Dishonored because you can turn into other things and possess people, and because there are distinct levels.

It's the thinnest of strings to attach them to one another, but that's all I got.

Trump was elected because Democrats didn't bother to show up and vote. White old angry men and rednecks were always going to vote for Trump. You're giving Anita too much credit.

I clearly mean they didn't bother to show up and vote in key swing states, autismo. If only in the US the popular vote actually meant shit.

>>380446153
eh, that's not true. Based on the rules of the game, Trump won out fair and square. He won in the right places with the right voters. Doesn't matter how much Hillary racked up the popular vote in more populated urban states like Cali and New York.

It's not that republicans vote more. It's that old people vote more and they tend to be republicans. That's why both parties tend to appeal to boomers during election campaigns.

When you can actually get young people out to vote the right always loses. That's what cost Le Pen France and Labour increased its seats motivated by Corbyn.

>>380433747
See, I can get the whole "Nintendo's Skyrim" comparison. Breath of the Wild was Nintendo's take on the open world fantasy action-RPG that is most popularly demonstrated in Skyrim. That's most people's point of reference for the genre. It makes sense.

I have no fucking clue what they mean by "Nintendo's Dishonored." It's an action-stealth game with magic? That doesn't sound at all like Mario, and certainly doesn't seem to describe what we've seen of Odyssey. It's a horrible, completely undemonstrative comparison.

>What the fuck has happened with videogame journalism over the past decade or so?

I used to love reading IGN reviews for big games in the late 90s and early 00s they were always like 4 page written reviews that would go over things like the menu system and gameplay mechanics. There were even separate sections of the article for each. Now it's just someone freestyling and throwing in a few swear words to look hip while complaining about gender.

>>380446553
>When you can actually get young people out to vote the right always loses

I think that is an undisputed fact. However, I don't see how much more they could've appealed to younger voters on the Dem side last election. Maybe because, despite all the media hype around it, everyone thought it was already a done deal for Hillary, so they just declined to vote?

That definitely won't happen next time, so I'm very interested in how Trump will sell himself next go-around. Incumbents usually have an inherent advantage to begin with, but he's gonna have to accomplish a lot more stuff to supplement his record.

I know statistically there are young Trump voters. When we say that young people didn't care to vote we mean that the young demographic that could revert the results didn't bother to show up to the polls. This is fact.

No need to feel special because you voted for Trump.

>>380433747
So Zelda is boring open world game with shitty quests and all that? Sounds about right

>>380448895
Oh no, you're completely right. There's not enough incentive or perceived benefit for young people to vote. There's a prevailing sense that voting doesn't matter anyway, so most young people don't want to make the effort to do so.

The Dishonored franchise is great. I guess I'll buy Odyssey.

IMO, thats a bad way to advertise a game, simply in my perscpetive since I didnt like the game
