That's a tough question. All the outlets that were created as fuck you to modern games journalism are either ran by lowcows or dull as dishwater. I think the best kind of stuff today can be found on YouTube from creators whose opinions you align with. It's ironic really that the platform you'd assume to be full of narcassistic drivel is where you find most of the more honest content, and the outlets you expect facts and journalism is filled with fluff and opinion.

I think Patricia Hernandez is the ground zero of "who asked" tier Kotaku journalism, like that famous one where she shit talked a kid on Xbox live saying she'd rape him and "triggered" herself about her very real, very true rape.

for reviews unironically christcenteredgamer, but their selection is limited.

ChristCenteredGamer is surprisingly the least biased website I've ever seen on reviews. They put all their biases in a separate score that doesn't affect the main one.

We live in a timeline where Christian Focused Media™ is more honest than their alternatives.

Well, gaming is basically dead, so what's the point? It's not 2010 anymore where there were tons of different games to follow and be interested in. Look at all the shit they do at E3 and the Game Awards now. You can't even watch most gaming youtubers without them putting their retarded politics into their videos.

At this point, you either need to look into games or genres you know you like on your own or just stop caring. I have not bought many games in the last two years, and most of the ones I have I got on sale, like a game and all it's DLC for $20. There's only like 5 games I'm looking forward to in the next two years and I'm worried they'll be ruined in someway.

tbh no game itself was worth following closely, not even the company itself. that's why stuff like "valve news network" was always kinda dumb, especially when you consider valve time. and the more mainstream video games got, the more mainstream communication got, there's simply no need to to follow a specialized aggregator for bits and pieces of info when pretty much all of that is part of a controlled marketing strategy anyway.

general stuff works fine to keep up with the industry at large etc, but that mainly still covers AA-AAA, which mostly suck now. tbh I just check the steam next fests these days for new games, anything else this forum or /v/ when I bored enough works just fine.

I don't think you know a whole lot about E3 if you think it just recently became cringe as fuck.

there's a difference between fun cringe and sad cringe tho. or to put it differently, there's a reason you don't see many memes about modern gaming awards.

There's a difference of being cringe 10 years ago with gay motion controls and having your whole E3 presentation be just niggers bitching. I guess some Japanese guy that doesn't speak English well embarrassing himself 10 years ago is the same as some black drag queen talking about how "important and powerful" their game about "muh white patriarchy" is
 
I think if 2022 will teach us something, the predictions regarding online game journalism being used as a tool for influencers and e-celebs will make real journalists lose jobs, or the independent, investigative journalists not want to work for the big companies that used to have Kotaku and Gamespot on their payroll.

The point I’m making is that we do need an Edward Snowden/Julian Assange like reporter to make a game journalism crash happen on the same level as a possible video game crash.

Though, for that to happen, it probably won’t exist in our lifetimes. It may exist when sites like this one in question will unfortunately no longer exist.

10 years ago? I remember E3 in the late 90's and it was terrible then, it didn't get any better from that point forward.

Gaming magazines would shit on E3 even back then with how out of touch it was.

People wanted E3 for the game reveals and nothing more. The problem with e3 is that there was never enough to warrant an event of that size so they always filled it with shit to fill time. Yeah some companies would have demos on the floor and that would help prolong or justify it's exitance because there's no real designated game testing and preview company thing that you can go to like a McDonalds but for video games. There was also not a whole lot of internet back then so people relied on magazines.

The way it is now where companies can just upload preview videos and shit like that on their whim is greatly preferable to how it was.
