NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

All that's going through my head right now is: "Nigga, you ain't Twitch, you're a completely different website". That said, fucking lol at that list. I see a Nutaku game or two in there. And Hatred is...not that sensitive of a topic. Not even sure why it'd be there.

This just cements them as buttmad crybabies even more.
It came out during Gamergate and a lot of pro-GG people bought the game specifically because the journos hated it.

I thought it was panned because it was an attempt to sell a mediocre game with rampant edgelording?

REEEEEEEsetera probably bought the line about how the developers were LITERAL NAZIS and therefore it must be memory holed.

Also, didn't they memory hole Kingdom Come for insufficient POC?
 
I think my favorite game journo story ever was this indie dev who developed this adventure game or some shit that was widely praised on nearly every single games site, and I mean big ones like PC Gamer and IGN.

It sold 5,000 copies and the developer had to close down. Later on he couldn't figure out why when his game was so heavily promoted by these sites, it got literally no one buying it. Its almost as if these faggots have lost their entire audience and trust, and no one ever listens to them. I have no idea why companies even bother, seriously. Kingdom Come Deliverance proved that they're all but useless. You can be boycotted and be a platinum seller on steam. They don't fucking matter, at all.

They made a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MichaelSamyn. It's pretty hilarious.

Thank you!"


Aeana possesses negative amounts of self-awareness (or she's a filthy fucking liar, either way).

If I had to guess the arbitrary reason games like Kindgum Cummies and The Last Night are ok to discuss while those others aren't I'd say it's probably because the games themselves aren't "offensive" but the developer(s) are. Technically they never even talk about the games since any thread about them is dedicated to just reeing at Vavra/Soret/whoever rather than any actual discussion of their products (aside from calling it shit).

What is with their obsession with "representation?" Do they think that trans characters in videogames will finally turn them into a real woman?

I happen to have an image that perfectly describes their mentality:

Basically, they are so narcissistic and close minded that they cannot in any way relate or empathize with any other person that is not from their own circle or shares their sexuality or does not think exactly like them. When a normal person plays as a character that is not of their own gender or skin color, they can at least feel or grow some basic connection with it, these people can't.

It's a sort of matching puzzle/dating sim/hentai game combo where you match up these tiles to get points to win the dates and eventually sex the girls.
It's forbidden because anime boobs are triggering.
I wonder if this will change if HunieDev decides to keep the 'trap' character romance required to 100% the upcoming Huniepop 2. Also gal gun is banned but not gal gun 2?
:thinking:

Apparently, he decided to give the players the possibility to choose her gender (100% female or tranny) but for the screeching side giving people a choice and try to make everyone happy is a bad thing.

Also, it seems that there are some people among the crowd who wanted a 100% male character with feminine looks (trap) instead of a tranny.

edit: oh hell, did I read that wrong and you are saying the Reees wanted a trap?

Words mean nothing. Both North Korea and Nazi Germany guaranteed free speech to their citizens. Somebody with an account should make a big stink about that doxxing. They have a zero-tolerance policy afterall.

I'm surprised the list isn't longer. I'd have guessed A Hat In Time would've been on the list.

Didn't Twitch ban all the games by a dev that makes "gay games" like Rinse and Repeat? Not very inclusive of them.

It wasn't always like that though. Back in the day Amiga Power and PC Format up to about 2000 were known for being not shills. In fact Amiga Power were routinely threatened with lolsuits for trashing games by large publishers. Later on they were accused of trying to demolish the platform and being shills for other platforms.

If you go into Abime they have scans of AP and other magazines from that time. Compare and contrast the review scores as well as the writing. AP had clearly actually played the game while many others were mouthing platitudes.

PCF also had a similar policy where they wouldn't review anything until it was actually released and would review it as it was sold to the public.

Both were gloriously unwoke. AP got sued by the Royal British Legion over their coverage of Cannon Fodder while PCF back then used to have a different female cover model every month with a semi-relevant theme and adverts for porno tapes and distributors (though they trashed Jo Guest's virtual girlfriend game roundly as "being a pimp has never been so dull" and "You really should get out more").

Were they about today I don't think they would be pro-GG but they would laugh at the autism in great measure.

Not all games magazines were Game Informer levels of corrupt. They ultimately had to sell magazines at the end of the day. No one was going to pay the asking price for games magazines if they thought they were corrupt. So in a way, you could argue payola had to be infrequent enough that readers could write it off as a difference of opinion. Having to actually buy a magazine also meant that they weren't completely in the pocket of advertisers.

You're referring to Sunset, the game in which you play a black housekeeper taking care of the apartment of some rich fucker while a vastly more interesting story is going on around you that you have no meaningful involvement in. While there's many jokes you can make about the game, Bro Team Pill will synopse it for me beautifully:


What's amazing about this title is that it officially marks the end of the Indie Dev Astroturf era on Steam, because this specific title was the first one released after Steam's refund policy. Since Sunset is really fucking short, like all of Tale of Tales games, the change in policy meant this fucking game got exactly what it deserved.

You also left out the best part: Namely, the dev's reactions to his game bombing:

Tale of Tales had a complete meltdown on Twitter in which they blamed gamers for not buying his shitty walking simulator.

Back in the day, game journos were shills, but their writing was entertaining and hilarious. In the days before the internet, the mags were good for strategy guides and had some funny writers. You'd also get tech reviews too in old school PC Gamer mags which are hilarious to look back on. Game journos changed from funny writer hobbyists to unfunny faggot shills that everyone hates. Everyone I know basically hate-reads every journo site from Rock, Paper Shotgun, to Giant Bomb to Destructoid. No one actually goes there for their opinion.

I actually found a few old issues of mid-to-late 90s issues of GamePro the other day. I was actually impressed by how, for the most part, the reviews were largely impartial. There were fuck-ups here and there, but nothing like the shameless corporate dicksucking we have today. Games that were candy-coated shit got called out on it, and most of the time analysis pieces were surprisingly spot-on. A lot of the tips were genuinely good, coming from people who actually knew their shit and who had clearly played the fucking game to completion. They were by no means perfect, or even particularly great, but the difference between then and now is night and day.
 
The Huniepop people should add the trans character to the game, but then get someone like [url=https://youtu.be/EGfkQ1AgKpI?t=7s]Tommy Lister[/URL] or Kevin Conroy to do the voice lines for said character.

And then work in a 'did you just assume my gender?' line.

The collective explosion of :autism: from ResetFAG would leave a smoking crater in the internet the size of Memphis.

It helped that there wasn't an indie scene to speak of, such that all games coming out were from serious studios putting out serious effort games so the quality was usually higher than it is today. On the other hand, as you say, game journos actually played the games to completion back then and got good/wrote guides for some of the companion mags or strategy guides. I miss the 80's & 90's era publications, before the internet really ruined it.
