Gaming

Medium.com. Shitty blog opinions. Name a more iconic duo!

Crowbcat (not Crowbar) specializes in highlighting these problems in games in a detailed way that no other review can. Yeah, it mostly just a montage of clips, but each set proves the main point more than just say "Well, this game is bad, blah, blah, blah" and talking for five minutes. Show, don't tell.

For example, his Back 4 Blood video proved his main point directly and pretty definitively with 30 minutes of evidence. Everybody else talked about how it was a bad game and sure that's fine. If you want a more traditional review, then go watch those. But, it's also useful to catalogue these instances as directly as possible in a comparative way. It was a single point, and it wasn't supposed to be some grand review of the game, but the point was backed up with evidence, which is more than I can say about some of these shitty bloggers that call themselves game journalists.

Is it insincere? No. The insincere thing to do is sit back and allow game companies to shit all over the consumer when they put out a half-baked product. There is nothing wrong with calling out their shit. Let me repeat that more directly:

There is nothing wrong with being outraged at a company trying to fuck over the consumer!

Frankly, I try to stay away from AAA gaming, because of shit like this. But, just because I don't play a lot of AAA games doesn't mean I'm going to write some shitty blog article that calls fighting the good fight "outrage journalism".
