It's a defense used by people that aren't used to having their intelligence challenged or overshadowed by others. Really common with those that work in the liberal arts like writing because everything they normally do is actually very easy, so they believe themselves to be extremely competent. When they lose or are demonstrated to be someone's intellectual/educational inferior, they can either humbly admit their inability or try to save face by saying "I'm competent and intelligent, so anyone that is better or smarter has something wrong with them". This is what he does by using the term "gamer" exclusively to refer to those criticizing him.

Just because you talk about games and the culture that surrounds them doesn't mean you're playing them to review them on their merits.

Journalists that cover wars don't have to be actively fighting in them, just on the ground in the area to see the people that are firing the guns.

>>389150707

I beat Contra 2, Contra 3, and Contra 4. I'd be alright after 3 minutes of realizing that run and gun, while jumping over enemies was vital the best method. People were beating dark souls 2 bosses in the E3 demo they had up before release and they even stopped people from playing when they got too far in the demo.

If you suck, you suck, no excuses.

Well for ages, Journalists would hire people to play their games for them and capture all the content. Then an editor would piece the footage together into a store. The writer would watch the game some of the time, but would mostly base their review on what the editor had pieced together. Writer would write, send that to the editor to edit, send that to the gamer to fact check, send back to the editor to edit, then back to the writer to finalize. Its a bit dishonest but it works. Most gamers were interns who made no money. Then everyone who used un-paid interns to generate revenue were sued so these companies had to pay their interns money.

However, with many gaming journalism outlets losing money, they can't afford to have an editor, and most are too cheap to even pay minimum wage to a guy to play the game for them. So they give a pay raise to these writers and say "hey you played all these games, and this software automates most your work, so have at it."

>>389147386
That tutorial looks absurdly difficult, I'm amazed they'd release a game in that state.

He's a journalist who occasionally has to write about games. That doesn't mean he has to be good at them. He doesn't need to be good at Cuphead to write a short article explaining that it's being shown at Gamescom and that it's got a unique art style that mimics cartoons from the 1930s and 1940s, and that it's coming out on X date on Xbone and PC.

what anon was saying is that the game is imitating 1920's cartoons and the only way to do that correctly is to imitate the ancient photo techniques too, so if you turned it off, it wont look like a 1920's cartoon

Oh, you better believe it is.
After playing being hyped as fuck after initial release I played it on jtaged 360 and was dissapointed by almost everything.
And then I bought it on ps3, because 'hey, maybe it's better with mp!'. And it wasn't.
And then I deluded myself into buying it on pc some time after, becase 'maybe it's better with stable fps'. Guess what the answer was?

He straight up said the developers are already lying to the masses by not telling people it's hard, which I highly doubt it is. The way he is playing would probably indicate that he would talk about controls being piss poor aswell, even though it's his own retardation.

If you assign someone to write about games, you need to make sure it's someone who can actually play a fucking video game.
And you know what? Even if it was someone who had never played a game before, failing so spectacularly in a tutorial like that is inexcusable. That isn't being bad at video games, that is simply failing at simple reading and pattern recognition.

>>389166427
Still gives pageviews. Adblock is only half the chemo.

>>389161676
Right. If these are our standards now, I'll get some illiterate to tell me about a book.

>>389166314
the state of the game doesn't exactly instill confidence in the studio tho. they've delayed the game by years(?) to put in these parts and they just look fundamentally bad.

even if they had put out cuphead as just a boss rush, people would expect this stuff for cuphead 2.

to make things even worse, they've shown off these new sections for a year or so now and from day one people have mentioned that they don't look great - it looks like they've done nothing to make them better.

>>389166571
Pageviews don't pay them anything.

Yes and a journalist covering wars need to know what the war is being fought about, what's happening in the war, how it all started, ect. It's more than just going around asking soldiers how they feel about the situation.

But lets get this back to media, if you had two people to review a movie, one who understood the plot and what was going on and one who didn't understand the plot who would you chose to review the movie?
Same thing here, you need someone at least competent at the game in question to do the review. If he's so bad at it he can't even pass the tutorial then the review is going to be inaccurate because he'll call it much harder than what it actually is. I wouldn't hire someone who's shit at Xcom to review Xcom.

A gaming journalism network or whatever should lose all of its credibility (not like they ever have one, they're just glorified autism forums) when they have shitty "game journalists."

For example; If you cannot mention at least 10 games in different categories and briefly talk about them, you should NOT be hired to anything game-related.

The truth is, people do get hired with very little to none gaming experience. It is out-right pathetic. Therefore, it is much better to find credibility from us fellow autists (people who actually play the damn games) than gaming journalist websites.

>>389169582
The only, ONLY, justification he could've given to how god awful this is, is if the controller had massive amounts of input. And even then, he takes a full fucking minute before even going back a few steps to jump onto the first block. That's not a brain fart, that's a fucking stroke.

>>389170080
Was no one there to say "Hey why don't you try standing on the first block and doing a dash at the apex of your jump?"

I hope the Cuphead devs were watching this happen laughing their asses off and saying "Yeah man that's a hard jump"

>I have zero problem solving skills and the inability to try something different if what I'm doing isn't working, the game needs to tell me exactly what to do

This is why games are holding people's hands so much nowadays.

>>389170372
Not even that's an excuse, even if there was a ton of controller lag you can tell he doesn't even try pressing the dash button after the first few seconds of hitting the wall, he legitimately forgot it existed that quickly or he is unable to stand on the block, then input jump AND dash. If there was latency then you would see him jump and then dash after hitting the ground or something.

Dark Souls isn't hard, It's fair. The game gives you every tool you need to beat any boss in the game. At certain points the game straight up starts dropping the upgrade material you need to max pretty much any weapon in the game or At least get them to +14 (which is more than enough). If someone can't beat Dark Souls then it's their fault not the game. The bosses are your equals in this game and you can even summon help if you really need it. No excuse for not being able to beat this game.
