Are critics trustworthy these days?

But I can't it's in my living room on my TV on every channel and no matter what I do it won't leave me alone

>Or is there a political/economical bias?
Are you new or just retarded ?

>more level-headed
according to critics, every year there is at least one absolutely perfect game and no game is worse than 5/10

Man what are you guys going to do when metacritic deletes the negative scores? It feels like this is the only thing keeping you from suicide.

Why are you faggots pretending that this is something new? Did you faggots forget DA:I back then? Or how among mostly highly rated movies on RT are all the movies that public hated? So quit acting as if crtics had any merit for a while now.

nice bait, considering we have plenty of evidence to the contrary

No need to project to hard, tranny.

>At least the hack critics actually had to play the game.
no, they don't they just have to enter a score.

I hope by "actual people" you aren't referring to the user score.

>these days?
They never were. Even back in the Amiga reviews there were clear bought up articles.

People are polarized on politics. I imagine its a great game if your liberal who wants empowered women or whatever

I just want to know how much do these critics really get paid? And is it really just because they want early review copies? Does the inflated scores also apply to Nintendo? So many questions. Its obvious at this point that these scores are not genuine at all now though

But it's their job to play the game and most of them work for organizations that will check up on them.
There's the chance that some of them lied, but at the very least they have a much much much higher likelihood of having played the game than everyone who spammed the user score. It was getting flooded long before anyone could have possibly beaten the game.

Guaran-fucking-tee that there are a ton of people who spammed the user score (and are shitposting about this game on Zig Forums as we speak) that are just as bad if not worse, but they're just random idiots who will never get that kind of attention.

I can tell you're underage. Please, please don't spend your years of crucial mental development on here. Read some fucking books.

Not getting paid directly. They guarantee they are keeping their jobs by not getting blacklisted from reviewing for not sucking the dick of the latest AAA installment that absolutely must sell well or everybody loses their jobs. They are all protecting themselves and their interests. As long as the money flows, they all win.

>But it's their job to play the game and most of them work for organizations that will check up on them.
they rarely check on them, mostly because they don care if they plated it. oh and about the spammed user scroes, it was getting 10/10 befroe critic copies could have gone out let alone be played.

>LOL METACRIT WILL JUST DELEITE REVIEWS
Who cares about that? If anything it would fuel the hate against the game.
SO DO IT FAGGOT DO IT MOTHERFUCKER

first of all journos suck at playing a game
they once had hopes and dreams writing for New York Times or other magazines, failed and ended up pressung buttons and rating it.

back to your question: game journo sites make a lot of their money through click and adds.
just before a game releases and you had a hands on review ready, the traffic for your side spikes up, making you money.
now imagine bringing a bad review. you will be blacklisted. nobody cares about your review AFTER the game is out, while your competition gets all the clicks.

>can't shoot jewish symbols in the game
they got paid. no question.

God damn do that many people get butthurt over gays simply existing? Game is good, y’all are just incels.

you mean (((()))) instead right

>fanbase triggered by joel's brutal death around relase
Is this somehow supposed to represent valid criticism or the quality of the game? You're not pretending to be retarded, are you?

It's tied into the fact that the game has overall very bad writing.

Why do people keep saying "naughty dog pulled a MGS2"?

It's not like son of one of genome soldiers that Solid Snake killed is killing Solid Snake and we play son of a genome soldier #14123 for at least 10 hours.

We just play another character that cooperates with Snake and there is a very good reasoning why we play that character.

>y’all are just incels.
I love this bait phrase. It's so effective. Especially with the gay-ass "y'all" shit.

Based on snippets of dialog from a 30+ hour story? Ok.

Get ready for those articles defending the flop.

>now imagine bringing a bad review. you will be blacklisted. nobody cares about your review AFTER the game is out, while your competition gets all the clicks.

Blacklisted by who? The fans? The Sony cultists and Nintendo kiddies? I guess that makes sense. If someone wrote a bad review on a EA or Ubisoft game, nobody would care. So the problem just comes down to these insane fanboys.

The game has been out for almost two whole days, you fucking dunce.

>snippets
we have seen the entire plot synopsis. stop pretending we have no info on what happens in the game

the studio who makes the games
where do you think they got their early copy from? dark net?

I'm 26

Use it as further evidence that games reviewers and journalists are bought and paid for hacks, refuse to buy the game, shit on it relentlessly, watch it flop.

No

I can't wait.
"Gamers are transphobic bigots! Fuck Gamers!"
"Are gamers dead? We think so. Here is why that is a good thing!"
"10 reasons why CIS scum are literally Hitler."

The review bomb is driven by political bias.

#1 americans are retarded
#2 who gives a shit
#3 why do critics even exist when you can just search for gameplay videos on youtube?
#4 why aren't the mods making a sticky for this shit game and stop the flood?

so just like the last of us 1 then.

do they have any insults that don't involve sex? why are they obsessed with it?

it's not

I was naive once and used to believe in critics since I grew up with magazines and didn't have internet.
Then I played Dragon Age 2. Fuck critics and fuck Bioware.

it is

Well, when you're obsessed about destroying your own race and culture, you have to find something else to define yourself by. Genders and sexual preference are the go-to for "progressive" folks.

lets see here, you have 0 evidence that it is, and never will provide any.

You can see the full walkthrough on Youtube, bro.

but why do they care if some one else is having sex or not

The game itself is a political message, a pilot dressed thinly as a game.

in this case I'm willing to split the difference and say anyone who willingly involves themselves personally invested in the meta stats and sales of a game should kill themselves, whether they are a critic or a fan.

Also both are equally shitty, everyone who is involved with the vidya industry as a producer, a parasite (journo), or a consooomer really has no right to opinions on the quality of video games. That should be exclusively left to people who do not care about the medium and just want to have fun.

To paraphrase an user in a previous thread, here's the secret: accusing reviewers of being paid off/forced is actually being generous to them. If they aren't being paid off or mandated to score these games highly, then that means they have just unimaginably filth taste in games and they're insane enough to genuinely believe in the messages from the tripe they tend to call "art".

1: No

2: Yes and yes, both are present and both bias are activated at the same time, but they are non-compatible.
If they don´t give good reviews, especially if they lambast them, they can face threat of not getting pre-release copies which would make their publications as efficiently competitive as your average schmuck on YouTube. So they go out of the way to give good reviews to games and will elevate or praise points that are not objectively good to legitimize them. And because both game devs and game journos are quasi-radical progressives who have been braindead-deadset on their ideology since 2016, they in essence collude to feel good about their political attitudes inserted in their projects and economically to give people with actual opinions less of an edge in the market-place
