That guy should be banned from using computers.

EDIT: Dammit I tried to post the video about ad blocking but youtube is full of people responding to it as opposed to the original content.

Traditional shill games media is dying and is being replaced by screaming let's play faggots and other retarded Youtube gaming personalities. Not sure which is worse.

The journos

LPers are annoying, and many of them are being paid to shill stuff, but you can at least see them play the game instead of having to guess whether they actually played something or are just copy pasting something.

Reminds me of this

We have slain a large dragon. But we live now in a jungle filled with a bewildering variety of poisonous snakes. And in many ways, the dragon was easier to keep track of.

They probably pay Chinese children to record the footage and talk over the top of it later.

You can mute the LPers and still get a feel for the game. You can't mute reviews and get any kind of idea what the game is like.

Didn't know they still existed. Used to visit them to watch e3 conventions but after twitch started becoming bigger they became obsolete.

I only watched trailers that were on the CD (later DVD) of the print magazine I used to buy. Nowadays I barely watch any and wait for gameplay footage instead.

Nowadays even early gameplay footage is not to be trusted. Downgrades in the graphics department are more than common, it is almost the rule for every major release.

I agree with you, orc-chan~ But on the other hand dorito jurnos are so much easier to ignore, I keep clicking videos that I think are just gameplay only to find out some cancerous LPer made them and his or her ugly face is plastered over half the screen. I like it when morons are restricted to containment sites such as GT or Giant Bomb.

They are in the middle ground between the written review and the twitch/letsplay crowd. I guess they now appear unappealing to both these crowds.

Shame. I actually liked watching their reviews from time to time. Never liked watching other people play games. It just feels like an immense waste of my time. Oh well, entropy.
