Cool website. Just ignore the occasional political point and it's gravy.

That doesn't look like a review to me.

I never ventured into the forums, but apparently it's gay in there. They do cover some interesting games but they do make stupid observations like the Valis article.

>that guy who unironically claimed that the Zelda CD-i games were secretly masterpieces
>that time Kurt Katala got triggered by SMT because God is the bad guy
>that time when they posted about how some old japanese platformer is about the frailty of life, just because the main character dies in one hit
>that time when an indie game about plants was totally about colonialism
>that time when some guy reviewed a hentai game, while desperately trying to not offend sjws while simultaneously sperging out over how hot it is. Then people found he had uploaded the H-scenes from the game onto the article's page, but they weren't in the artcle itself
>when Trump won the head guy didn't feel like working for like a month and released all upcoming reviews he had worked on until that point
Whole site's barrel a laughs.

>None of this detracts from the game's quality yet. That honor goes to the game's wholesale endorsement of colonial practice. It begins by arguing that colonialism is natural. The plants, with their lack of sentience, help in this task, but also consider the actions you're allowed to take in the game. They're all violent in nature. You wreck violence against the land by draining it of resources, and you wreck violence against other living beings by wiping them from the face of the universe. At no point can you coexist peacefully with other people or even work toward that goal through diplomacy

Interesting read for obscure games. No nothing about it other than articles though.

Used to be pretty good, it's shit now though. Go make this thread on /vr/ for nothing but negative comments.

>>381259786

Its decent for discovering games you might have never heard of or played before but just dont read the articles.

their forums are an sjw hivemind but the articles they write about games are excellent. I have discovered many obscure games thanks to them.

>>381254267

I used to like the site a lot when it was about obscure retro game but now it's another front of retarded lefty journalist trying to fit in a cliche in order to land an actual real job

Retarded part include putting trigger warning in an article (now removed after many people pointed out how stupid it was), writing an article about gone home and declaring that anyone who hate the game is a misogynist and breaking the update schedule after trump won the election

>>381258336

I even contributed some screenshots to that piece of shit site, why is every single one of these moron like that, jeremy parish too

The actual game article entries are interesting but the blogs and everything else is just whatever.

Good. We don't need that kind of perspective on video games (just look at this shithole) or anything else

>>381262791
now you're speaking my language.

It's the same with the site and retronauts, on a surface level, it's genuinely enjoyable to listen to, but then if you start to listen to a few episodes you start to build a picture of waht these people are like and they are unbearable.

They wince at anything that could remotely offend anyone. You can't live like that.

I don't mind the SJW bullshit but I wish they would speak more about real games and not indie trash

>>381265282
The only retrocast that i found great and doesn't have political bullshit in it is Pixelated Audio but then they only talk about retro game music.

>>381265753
I wish they would go back to making retro game reviews

>>381256117
Somehow I don't picture a SJW website giving the Shantae series glowing reviews, and yet

They're pretty good. Triggered poltards are really grasping at straws.

i've heard on /vr/ racketboy was a good alternative, but it turned out it's somehow shittier

I'm mixed on it.

On one hand there are some genuinely interesting games discussed here. When they say hardcore they mean it. Often I will discover really cool and obscure I probably never would have found before.

On the other hand theor articles are fucking garbage. There are some good articles but a good majority of them are insanely biased and the writer may lean in favor of one and shit on the others.

It's good for suggestions but never trust thier input.

>>381271464
Oh,God! Don't remind me. It's shame really, since the guy's article are generally pretty good and whenever he would write for a shitty top 10 clickbait site his article would stand miles above the rest.
He used to review hentai monsters, but then deleted those articles because he joined the tumblr crowd.

He went overboard with that. I remember seeing in a thread on /vp/ a link to his tumblr.
Lo and behold it's only political stuff with a few ugly pieces of fanart. Guy said that One Punch Man was too misogyny filled for him to consider good. Shame because his articles are actually amusing and fun to read for the animals and cartoon stuff, plus Pokemon reviews.

Also /vp/ is autistic as fuck and probably just hate him for probably shitting on the waifu mon.

The only meme was a woman well known to not be a liberal pretending she was in the same lengthwave as your typical SJW,Bernie was a joke that thankfully nobody took seriously.

It's a good site if you're curious about looking for games you've never heard of in genres you like. Just don't take the writing seriously as these tards still don't have proper editorial skills and leave typos and grammar mistakes around like nobodies business.

>>381272641
Autistic as fuck is an understatement. The board is worse than /vg/ and /v/ combined, and I say this as someone who was a former regular to the board.
/vp/ actually mostly likes his reviews with the odd person calling him a contrarian.

Long story short, the stuff on her blog is true, but she shot herself in the foot going overboard. That, and some of the stuff is so out there you think it's a joke but it's not - one good example is the "wi-fi allergy" - I'm sure it's still on the HG101 forums somewhere, but there was a thread where he went on a rant about not wanting a newer 360 because he was afraid the wi-fi would trigger his migraines.

He's basically a psychotic momma's boy and only ever got anything because his parents are loaded and bail him out.

>>381275458
It's not even the leftist political beliefs that are the problem - it's how Kurt and his sycophants act like if you're not on "their side" you are literally worse than Hitler. In the Bionic Commando or Wolfenstein sense, because they can't fucking think of an actual obscure reference to Nazis in retro games to compare you to.

great repository of reviews of obscure and old games that usually provide important historical and/or social context pertaining to a game. I couldn't give less of a shit about anybody's politics.

they were decent till they let the cat out of the bag none of them actually play video games then shifted to spend all their time crying on social media

>>381271716
Most of the games that are "suggested" really aren't that good. Can't tell you how I fell for a number of them (mostly old ROMs that I could easily obtain), like The Firemen (SNES) which was posed as an overlooked classic but which actually kinda sucked.

>>381277060
I like how even Mike Mattei parroted the whole "Renegade has sluggish controls" meme that HG101 started.

>>381277326

Retarded, but there's nowhere else to go if I want to read or listen to people talk about cool shit. I don't really care about their politics as long as they leave me alone about it.

>>381279114

>>381279060
No. The book is actually a doujin by a Japanese guy that Kurt decided to publish, which is great, but I know people are just going to give Kurt credit when all he did is publish.

I'm also subscribed to him, but he doesn't do much nowadays. I like the CGR stuff, but he also uploads a bunch of LP tier stuff as well. I like this type of content a whole bunch, so I'm also subscribed to LGR, Guru Larry (probably the most based guy in all of this), and other stupid channels I forget.

It's probably my favourite kind of content.

Are there any video game channels that aren't run by 30 something chubby white liberal men?
