Being good at games isn't a requirement of a reviewer. Being able to write well is the sole requirement of a reviewer, you downies.

The issue isn't he wasn't good, the issue is he was beyond terrible. You don't have to be a Quake professional to give a review of an arena shooter or even have 100+ hours in a similar game, but you should at least be familiar with how to aim in an FPS.

you need to have an understanding about something to be able to properly review it.
if you cant even figure out basic shit in a game you are in no way qualified to write about it.

also being bad at a game leads you to believe the game because most people dont like to think anything is their fault.

What a shit thread
>>
>>389318903
>Being good at games isn't a requirement of a reviewer
This is correct. However, you do need to be honest about where your review comes from. Anyone can review shit, but he claims NOT to be terrible at games. He is claiming to be an authority in a medium he struggles to interact with on a basic level.

Knowing the SOURCE of a review is the single most important element of it. And this hack is attempting to say they're good and it is the game that is too complex.

It is a blatant lie and it is being called out by people as such. It has nothing to do with their gaming ability, just their integrity. Every time someone calls the hack a shit gamer, they're just arguing that their lies about their authority are baseless.

>>
>>389319464
Giving players tools and allowing them to work it out is a core element of many games. This is one of the most basic examples I could even imagine.

A bad tutorial is one that makes you sit and read instead of interact with the game. That isn't a tutorial. Its a guide/rulebook

But if they were clear that they hated guns, I would actually love to read what they had to say about them in in-depth reviews.

The review itself is not the product i am intersted in experiencing, its the game. It can never be the answer to my questions concerning the actual product but it surely can help understanding or conveying the idea of the product better if written well. there must be some kind of balance and with someone who isnt able to experience the product, isnt able to write about it on a semantical level or any level but hsi very subjective which doesnt mirror the objective experience. its obejctivly true that dd is open world but his subjective experience may differ from the "standart" which inturn makes the review redundant or all reviews really since there is no standart.

I'm agreeing in the sense that you can put some chocolate sauce on top of a rock and call it cooking, the point is that a useful review should come from a source that has knowledge in the subject, a review that comes from someone that knows nothing is useless, who would you put your trust into, a person that clearly can't play the game and has no idea of what he's doing, or a person that can play the game in a competent manner?
Being able to write well is great for a reviewer, but it doesn't make up for the lack of substance or knowledge, you can't have a person that can't play an instrument writing reviews for a music shop.

This is deliberately obtuse. It is objectively obvious that having a significant amount of experience with a given subject matter would make you an "authority". Notice I did not say it makes your views more valid than someone else's. It just makes you an authority.

Having that authority can, to many people, lend weight to your review. If a person ate Pop Tarts every day of their life and recommended a pop tart for me to try, I'd be more inclined to try it than if a person recommended one who obviously never ate food a day in their life. He is lying to attempt to claim that authority.

I used to think people like this were trolling, but one day I met a person online. They complained about tutorials and basic elements of the game that were blatant , but after talking to him, he was 100% serious. He really just thinks he knows better and when he has trouble, it means the world around him is flawed.

I then followed up on some of his shit online, and it overflows into everything. Like he was bad at math so he asked about a math issue. Someone posted a polite, helpful response. He struggled so they followed up with clarification.

Then he spent the next 30 posts saying how the initial instruction was bad and the person shouldn't post at all if they can't do it right.

"Just ignore it" doesn't work when the person posts it publicly and comments on it publicly too. It is part of the public domain, that is what the author chose to do.

>he doesn't know how to drive a car nobody has ever driven before
You keep using that phrasing, but despite being a new game, Cuphead uses standard sidescrolling shooting gameplay, similar to many other games out there. So it being a new game isn't a valid excuse for that horrible video. And him being bad at games (specifically that kind of game) makes his review worthless, as many other anons have already said.

Were you this good with playing Super Mario Brothers the first time, OP? The answer is a most redounding no, but a hypocrite like yourself has too much of an ego to admit as much in your life. You need to go back into the kitchen and get on with your sandwich making for you if you can not learn to quit being such a damn hypocrite to the OP on here. I know that I can probably play better than the OP, but at least I am smart, as well as nice enough, to not be a dick about it in life. I will offer constructive criticism, which is ironic, considering that I am autistic and, as such, have a difficult time about accepting, let alone interpreting, it from other people myself, to people like Mr. Takahashi, but at least I have enough of a fucking brain that it takes people a while to get the hang of video games. Let me also remind you that, in this day and age, side-scrolling shooters are indeed a rare breed of video games and that they are, sadly, on the verge of extinction, so comments like yours will ensure that, in the long run, people that make games like Cuphead will no longer make games like that and, if they are done enough times, then they will also filter into the more polished and realistic games that everyone else knows and it will also contribute to a video game industry crash that will far exceed what happened in 1982-1984, though it will not be the only reason that such a crash will happen. I could go on about the potential crash/market saturation of the video game market as a whole entire topic itself in another discussion, but the fact of the matter is that elitist twat waffles like yourself fail to comprehend two of the key rules of video games, which are to explore the mechanics of the game play and, gasp, TO SIMPLY HAVE FUN PLAYING VIDEO GAMES! This is the point that I am trying to make to all of you ungrateful little spoiled brats and you all would do well to comprehend it in your lives.

How exactly? Because you thought you could get away with having the last word before anyone could call you out in the last thread? All OP did was repost your last post, and you were immediately BTFO by everyone ITT.

And there are plenty of arguments that completely counter your retarded claim that you don't have to know what the fuck you're talking about in order to review games, or that Dean wasn't presenting himself as an authority on the subject.

If I don't understand shit about a sport you won't catch me giving player reviews, so why should someone who can't grasp basic mechanical learning be able to tell everyone that the game is bad because they are bad. There are plenty of games that I suck shit at that I still won't say are bad games. Being a bad reviewer because you can't take two seconds to learn is their fault, and the readers and developers suffer for it. If you want to say that the game was too hard for you and then make a small but fair review about what you think can be improved then that's your job, not sit there and whine because you can't figure out how to crouch jump and then give the game a 3/10 because you're an incompetent slob.

It's not a requirement, but it's a good signifier of your experience with the medium.

No one's asking them to be able to 1cc Metal Slug 3 the first time they play it. They are however asking for the people reviewing and advertising games to be able to solve a problem that 5 year olds can solve. If you're in your 20's-30's and have worse motor-skills and hand eye coordination than a 5 year old that you struggle to push multiple buttons in a sequence. you have no place to be getting paid to talk about something that requires those skills.

Well just like a review score that happens to be an opinion, so i'd disagree with you on some degree.

You don't need to be StarCraft pro levels of dedicated or Fighting Game pro execution level good to review games. You should however be good enough to beat them, and understand the mechanics and why they make a game good or bad.

The thread was mad repeating your argument, because the last one 404'd before anyone even had the chance tor espond with real arguments. You are upset because you got BTFO by everyone responding with real arguments to your failed one. They succeeded. YOU failed with coming up any real argument, so now all you can do is deny it ever happened and deflect like the shitbrained child you are. This thread stands as a testament to your stupidity.

Learning is one thing. Anyone can be good at a game if they practice. But the issue here is the person doing this as a job is being paid for it. It's expected that someone doing a professional (Used very lightly here) job would have been hired due to being the best applicant for the job.
The person playing as I stated has worse motor skills and hand-eye coordination AND problem solving skills than a 5 year old. The only conclusion we can make from the gameplay is the person playing this is either on the spectrum or mentally retarded.
Again like I said you don't need to be amazing, you don't need to be perfect but you do need to at least show enough intelligence that the average 5 year old isn't superior to you in every conceivable way.

No, you don't, you apologist pussy. You just plain fucking don't. A reviews value is in the evaluation and constructive criticism offered by a knowledgeable individual.

Bullshit, credibility gives weight and value to your words. Without it, you're writing literal trash, you're literally wasting your own time and the time of anyone who reads it.

Some shit, anyone can review. Anyone can taste something and offer an opinion on how it tastes. But a game isn't a fucking burger, a game has artwork, music, writing, technical and mechanical aspects, and if you're completely braindead at playing, you have no fucking business writing a "review".

Anymore than blind man has any business reviewing the Mona Lisa.

They don't know how to write though. I've read shitty harem light-novels with better prose, presentation and words that the writer actually knows the definition of. The people reviewing games think saying "Hyperbole hypothesis exposition" makes them an intellectual. Not to mention any credibility they have would be lost the second someone asks them to finish Baby's first shapes, colors and numbers faster than the average toddler.

Loot is a concept which will be forgotten, instead your character just auto equips an item when he kills an enemy.

Also note how Microsoft cleverly chose to hire a Japanese-American to write the book?

Congratulations on your purchase of a brand new nigger! If handled properly, your apeman will give years of valuable, if reluctant, service.

INSTALL YOUR NIGGER.

You should install your nigger differently according to whether you have purchased the field or house model. Field niggers work best in a serial configuration, i.e. chained together. Chain your nigger to another nigger immediately after unpacking it, and don't even think about taking that chain off, ever. Many niggers start singing as soon as you put a chain on them. This habit can usually be thrashed out of them if nipped in the bud. House niggers work best as standalone units, but should be hobbled or hamstrung to prevent attempts at escape. At this stage, your nigger can also be given a name. Most owners use the same names over and over, since niggers become confused by too much data. Rufus, Rastus, Remus, Toby, Carslisle, Carlton, Hey-You!-Yes-you!, Yeller, Blackstar, and Sambo are all effective names for your new buck nigger. If your nigger is a ho, it should be called Latrelle, L'Tanya, or Jemima. Some owners call their nigger hoes Latrine for a joke. Pearl, Blossom, and Ivory are also righteous names for nigger hoes. These names go straight over your nigger's head, by the way.
>>
>>389329252
I looked him up. He's got a mill subs or something. But he's never popped up once in my rec feed because I don't watch whatever he's making.
>>
>>389329439
CONFIGURE YOUR NIGGER

Owing to a design error, your nigger comes equipped with a tongue and vocal chords. Most niggers can master only a few basic human phrases with this apparatus - "muh dick" being the most popular. However, others make barking, yelping, yapping noises and appear to be in some pain, so you should probably call a vet and have him remove your nigger's tongue. Once de-tongued your nigger will be a lot happier - at least, you won't hear it complaining anywhere near as much. Niggers have nothing interesting to say, anyway. Many owners also castrate their niggers for health reasons (yours, mine, and that of women, not the nigger's). This is strongly recommended, and frankly, it's a mystery why this is not done on the boat.
>>
>>389329490
HOUSE YOUR NIGGER.

Your nigger can be accommodated in cages with stout iron bars. Make sure, however, that the bars are wide enough to push pieces of nigger food through. The rule of thumb is, four niggers per square yard of cage. So a fifteen foot by thirty foot nigger cage can accommodate two hundred niggers. You can site a nigger cage anywhere, even on soft ground. Don't worry about your nigger fashioning makeshift shovels out of odd pieces of wood and digging an escape tunnel under the bars of the cage. Niggers never invented the shovel before and they're not about to now. In any case, your nigger is certainly too lazy to attempt escape. As long as the free food holds out, your nigger is living better than it did in Africa, so it will stay put.

FEED YOUR NIGGER.

Your Nigger likes fried chicken, corn bread, and watermelon. You should therefore give it none of these things because its lazy ass almost certainly doesn't deserve it. Instead, feed it on porridge with salt, and creek water. Your nigger will supplement its diet with whatever it finds in the fields, other niggers, etc. Experienced nigger owners sometimes push watermelon slices through the bars of the nigger cage at the end of the day as a treat, but only if all niggers have worked well and nothing has been stolen that day. Mike of the Old Ranch Plantation reports that this last one is a killer, since all niggers steal something almost every single day of their lives. He reports he doesn't have to spend much on free watermelon for his niggers as a result. You should never allow your nigger meal breaks while at work, since if it stops work for more than ten minutes it will need to be retrained. You would be surprised how long it takes to teach a nigger to pick cotton. You really would. Coffee beans? Don't ask. You have no idea.

MAKE YOUR NIGGER WORK.

Niggers are very, very averse to work of any kind. The nigger's most prominent anatomical feature, after all, its oversized buttocks, which have evolved to make it more comfortable for your nigger to sit around all day doing nothing for its entire life. Niggers are often good runners, too, to enable them to sprint quickly in the opposite direction if they see work heading their way. The solution to this is to *dupe* your nigger into working. After installation, encourage it towards the cotton field with blows of a wooden club, fence post, baseball bat, etc., and then tell it that all that cotton belongs to a white man, who won't be back until tomorrow. Your nigger will then frantically compete with the other field niggers to steal as much of that cotton as it can before the white man returns. At the end of the day, return your nigger to its cage and laugh at its stupidity, then repeat the same trick every day indefinitely. Your nigger comes equipped with the standard nigger IQ of 75 and a memory to match, so it will forget this trick overnight. Niggers can start work at around 5am. You should then return to bed and come back at around 10am. Your niggers can then work through until around 10pm or whenever the light fades.

COMMON PROBLEMS WITH NIGGERS:

MY NIGGER IS VERY AGGRESIVE

Have it put down, for god's sake. Who needs an uppity nigger? What are we, short of niggers or something?

MY NIGGER KEEPS RAPING WHITE WOMEN

They all do this. Shorten your nigger's chain so it can't reach any white women, and arm heavily any white women who might go near it.

WILL MY NIGGER ATTACK ME?

Not unless it outnumbers you 20 to 1, and even then, it's not likely. If niggers successfully overthrew their owners, they'd have to sort out their own food. This is probably why nigger uprisings were nonexistent (until some fool gave them rights).

MY NIGGER BITCHES ABOUT ITS "RIGHTS" AND "RACISM".

Yeah, well, it would. Tell it to shut the fuck up.

MY NIGGER'S HIDE IS A FUNNY COLOR. WHAT IS THE CORRECT SHADE FOR A NIGGER?
A nigger's skin is actually more or less transparent. That brown color you can see is the shit your nigger is full of. This is why some models of nigger are sold as "The Shitskin".
>>
>>389329923
MY NIGGER ACTS LIKE A NIGGER, BUT IS WHITE.

What you have there is a "wigger". Rough crowd.

IS THAT LIKE AN ALBINO? ARE THEY RARE?

They're as common as dog shit and about as valuable. In fact, one of them was President between 1992 and 2000. Put your wigger in a cage with a few hundred genuine niggers and you'll soon find it stops acting like a nigger. However, leave it in the cage and let the niggers dispose of it. The best thing for any wigger is a dose of TNB.

MY NIGGER SMELLS REALLY BAD

And you were expecting what?

WHERE SHOULD I STORE MY DEAD NIGGER?

When you came in here, did you see a sign that said " Dead nigger storage"? That's because there ain't no goddamn sign.

BUT IT'S A-OK TO BE SHIT AT GAMES AND THEN WRITE ABOUT THEM! WOW SONIC SURE DOES SUCK, FUCK THIS HOLE WITH SPIKES INNIT.

I've noticed that without the right mindset, learning can become very limited. Like how my parents have been using Windows for years, but they're still hardly any better at using it now than they were 10 years ago. They have the wrong mindset. They're not even considering the concept of learning it and getting better at it. So the information just doesn't get internalized. The same thing can happen with video games. Someone can play them for hundreds and hundreds of hours, but they just repeat the same horrible habits and never internalize any of the information and good habits that would help them improve. Look at DSP for an extreme example of this.
>>
>>389318903

Sport commentators are frequently former athletes or former coaches. Further, commentators need to have a basic understanding of what they're seeing in front of them, and then convey that information to others very quickly to reflect the speed of the action.Your comparison would hold water if former devs/production heads became game journos, or if the game journo could interpret what's going on. Obviously this one can't because he's sucking shit by running away then getting beat by enemies that respawn. If he was good at his job, he'd understand basic pattern recognition.

Being able to write well doesn't mean anything when you can't analyze an experience, just like an acclaimed author who tries to review a film without knowing anything about film history or film formalism.

Someone who cannot play a video game cannot analyze the experience because their lack of execution prevents them from experiencing it fully. Partial experiences don't matter for shit when you can't jump and dash over an obstacle using 20-year old platformer patterns.

I've watched the comments on this thread just to see how mean they would be. I think it's useful to show my gameplay experience. I did not intentionally play poorly to "troll" anyone. But it serves as an interesting social experiment. I walk into a game cold, and this is the play that results. The video shows it's a notch more difficult than your typical Mario game. In fact, if you are expecting Mario, as the story says, then you are thrown off. And it shows that the developers are going to leave a lot of people who are worse than me behind. Maybe they're fine with that. Maybe they want to target gamers with a love for difficult games. That's fine. But I think they should signal that. How many games actually come with a tutorial these days? They're not popular. But if it's necessary, that is a signal this is going to require some skill. As for other comments on this thread, I wonder why they are hostile to someone who is viewing the game as a beginner? Are we that intolerant of people who are not "gamers"? Should I have played the scene over and over again until I was good at it, and then turned the recording on, like so many of those perfect video walkthroughs you see? I believe that games can be made accessible and inviting to people who are not hardcore fans, and these people can be accommodated inside the same game that is appealing to hardcore fans, through difficulty levels. So when people tell me that I shouldn't be playing this game because, on my first play, I was pretty lousy -- that's an attitude that argues that games should be shut off in their own little corner, only played publicly by the masters and the experts. I disagree with that view entirely, and I believe it leads to elitist attitudes that allow gamers to look down on other people, and that only leads to a more fragmented world of haters.

video game journalism is a complete joke
you can do it without ever having played a video game once
you're writing advertisments for consumer entertainment

I highly doubt it's you but that's a lot of effort for bait.
The problem is that you are a mouthpiece for the industry, and being bad at video games while in a position like that threatens the possibility that games in the future will be further dumbed down for your ilk.
Not to mention that many people who are halfway decent at games would kill to be in a position like yours, and would probably be able to do your job better considering they have more experience and understanding of games.

You know, when he complains about gamers being elitist for saying he shouldn't be playing games he's bad at, I sort of agree that it's bad. But, him calling Cuphead a difficult game and that a beginner would have to play the first level over and over just to have a good time, he's sending a really bad message himself.
I can see a lot of new players being intrigued by Cuphead's visuals and drawn to play the game, only to read something from a professional journalist like him saying the game is difficult and targeting ''gamers'', only to be turned away, thinking they're not skilled enough.
This is one instance I can think of where being a low skilled vidya journalist is actually damaging for the games industry. We saw this happen with The Wonderful 101, where a staggering amount of reviewers didn't understand fundamental elements of the combat and then proceeded to complain about its difficulty and balance, causing a lot of people to shy away from even trying the game and thus the game fell into obscurity.

Polygon and Kotaku are just using video games as a springboard to either talk about themselves or their politics. That's it. Stop paying attention to them.

This is true. I think to be videogame reviewer or journalist you should have a resume of what videogames you like/are good at so people can guage what you can handle, and people with similiar tastes know where you are coming from, otherwise people expect you to be good at everything. If I was one I certainly would hate it if my boss made me review a game like aurora 4x for instance.

Polygon and Kotaku are the gossip rags of gaming media. Its a sign gaming has officially gone mainstream when the bloodsucking leeches have invaded it.

You certainly have to be competent.
Also, you should have people reviewing that are competent within the genre of game their reviewing.
I can't imagine half of you faggots giving a fighting game a review while complaining about DP inputs the whole time and labelling them as artificial difficulty.
That being said, I have zero business reviewing a cRPG of any sort, I literally didn't make it out of the first town of Divinity: Original Sin before packing it in.

They do not need to be god-tier pro-players, but they need to understand the basics of a game. This dude doesn't understand how platformers work, so he shouldn't review platformers.

Also, this same dude complained about Mass Effect's difficulty since he didn't spend any single ability point, so we can deduce he doesn't understand games as a whole. This guy may be a good reporter but he is an awful reviewer.

The fact that these people think this is remotely acceptable for a review is fucking pathetic
>As a journalist I should be impartial in this review, but maybe give some personal opinions, but not let that effect my review
>I HATE GUNS BECAUSE I'M A HUGE PANSY AND GUNS IN VIDEO GAMES SCARE ME
Seriously, he didn't even say a goddamn thing about the game beyond whine about how realistic the gun is and that it triggers him
