NSFW Best Thread Ever [No SJW-related posts allowed]

Polystation 3 trimmed down to only include the good ones

 

Yeah, for all the bitching about copyright monopolies, you really do have to try to blatantly pass your work off as a competitors (in which case you don't need copyright law, just the old 'passing off' tort) before you can get hammered out of the marketplace, as opposed to being sent back to the design room with an 'add a few original notes, you lazy fuck' order.

It's only a problem when someone like Disney decides to tie their competitors up with spurious lawsuits for publishing anything with an anthormorphic mouse, which is less of a problem with copyright law and more just the age-old issue that nobody has ever figured out a workable method of screening out douchebags from bankrupting opponents with frivolous lawsuits without also preventing legitimate claims from being heard.

 

(note for angry joe's rape victims: this post isn't about Star Citizen)

I already said I don't follow this semi-literate retard, but he appeared in the results while I was searching "Star Citizen Scam":



Amazing.

 

Angry Joe is not a journalist and does not count, its like we start to claim Blaine is corrupted because he used to be a very fierce Star Citizen supporter ... if you want to take the word of some guy with no credentials on the Internet be my guest but this isnt the same as something that comes from a site that claims to be a magazine, like PC Gamer.

 

Holy cow. Is this the future ?

Remember when you used to see unboxing videos everywhere ? In a dematerialized economy, this only makes sense : show us videos of people buying stuff online !

I think I will take it to the next level. I will buy a game, film my screen while it downloads in Steam, screams such bullshit like "Look at how this download bar goes !" "I'm so excited !" "So many kilobytes per second !" "If I lower my camera, you can actually see my HDD light blinking..." ... Some retards are bound to watch this. The same kind of retards who watch that kind of terrible bullshit.



100k views ? Fuck you, Internet. FUCK YOU.

 

A journalist is anyone who involves himself in reporting about things, whether he likes being called that way or not, and whether you like it or not. In this case, he looked like a drooling retard while praising Star Citizen Kickstarter. This shit is important for gaming journalism - keep in mind that angry joe hasn't said anything about obvious scam practices going in the game's development - and the post was moved twice. Why? Some butthurt people, I guess.

 

What is the appeal of reaction videos?

"Oh boy that video I watched was great I sure can't wait to go on YouTube and watch some loser watch the same video while screaming like an autist because he knows he's being filmed and is intentionally overacting!"

I mean, what's the bloody point? Are you so insecure with your own opinion you need it to be validated by some guy on YouTube?

 

Uhh...no.

A journalist is someone who reports facts, writes stories based on facts and seeks out the truth. They are very few in number, and become fewer every year. This is the word every reporter wants to be called.

A reporter just reports things, things which are usually written by a third party. Truth is irrelevant, facts are irrelevant, they just speak what they either choose to speak, or are told to speak.

There are more modern terms for "reporter" - public spokesperson, megaphone, sockpuppet, official representative, etc. I can't think of any other word for "journalist".

 

Do you honestly believe people who watch shit like that would have confidence in themselves?

 

It is actual profession that requires going to highschool, when you finish it and joing some mag, site or something you will be bound by laws and gives permissions such being free from prosecution when you work on your material, not disclosing who were your sources and so on. Also people will be barred from trying to stop you from doing your work.
Journalist studies themselves usually teach you a lot about integrity, sources gathering and so on.

Phone camera and your own blog don't give you above nor teach you about that profession.

This is reason why we use "lol gaming journalists" Because none of them finished any school, they don't know jack shit about confirming sources and journalistic work. They also can't write for shit.

Those gaming journalist are basically your friends from bar talking shit knowing shit from tv they just watched.

 

Actually I seen plenty with a "Major in English" that kinda strikes me as a joke as the only thing you are required to became a gaming journalist, there are proper journalism courses but I suspect gaming journalism pays poorly enough people rather be a mouthpiece of the GOP on FOX that go working on gaming.

That is I guess part why "gaming journalism" never grown up, they already were little more of opinion pieces and never evolved beyond that, they did get all the vices of modern journalism I grant them that.

 

It has more to do with what you are writing about.
Games are just part of entertainment. Like movies, golf and shit like that.

 

Sure but here are the problems, reviews are made by critics that I dont think they attempt pass as journalists, same with commentators ... but "gaming journalists" attempt to do exactly that, that they are journalist and at the same time pass their articles as "opinions" when they come under attack.

Even critics and commentators usually have background on the field, John Madden is not some guy that played Basketball in High School but in gaming it seems there is often a complete lack in any technical knowledge of the field, its no wonder that we have such focus on "story" because its all those "gaming journalists" know about as English Majors, they treat games as books or movies and cannot see anything beyond narrative since that pretty much their entire academical background.

 

^ Made me laugh and he speaks the truth.

 

Cute azn and BIG boobies...are you gay or something?

Zep--

 

If there's a babe in the thumbnail I cannot not click it. I'm so glad I'm not browsing the internet some 15 years ago...

 

No, he doesnt.

Bloodborne have all he is bitching about that doesnt exist on "for babies", range matters and even regular mobs can trash you but lets go over what he complains about ...

Batman, Shadow of Mordor, Witcher and AssCreed.

Batman combat have been about the same since Asylum aind it worked back them, it still works now ... you are the motherfucking Batman, it worked because on how the encounter system function and you were the motherfucking Batman ... Shadows of Mordor uses the exact same system because at some point it was to be a Batman title, I blame more WB that the game, it might been a serviceable Batman title but it isnt, it is what it is ... Batman, Mordor and for AssCreed, similar to Batman ... started that way, its unlikely to change because it started that way.

A lot of what he bitches is fucking stupid, if you have a system with a lot of adds you cannot make it "Fencing Simulator 2015", its a FUCKING GAME, games with more variables also make it so the player concentrate on what he is doing because the system is too precise to allow for situations were its 10 vs 1, if that happens the player must have fucked up or there is a trick to the adds, this do have to give to be replayable and the whole Tripe A combat sucks its not because it does (since its debatable) but because its Triple A, if he wants to complain about combat then do it on EACH game and highlight the issues, not making a broad statement without any consideration for the basic design behind each game.

Oh and Jedi Academy lightsaber combat sucks for the record.

 

OK, I can agree with this. To the others - you don't need a specialized education to become a journalist:



I believe some people are confused on what constitutes journalism. Opinion pieces, reviews, interviews, writing news - it's all journalism. You can be an independent journalist without formal education and still have a right to access the information needed for a feature on your blog or a YT channel and research stuff. I'm not pulling this out of my ass, you know. In my opinion, angry joe is a journalist - a bad one, sure, but still a journalist. Him drooling over Star Citizen Kickstarter three years ago is relevant to the thread about corrupt games journalists, given the obvious problems/scamming Star Citizen's development is going through. There is some serious butthurt about these things on this forum that I can't understand.

 

The Darth Roxor review of AAA brawlers. He brings up some very solid points about god damn autoaim. He could've done with raging a bit about omnidirectional block/counter moves, but he hit all the major gripes spot on. Someone should invite him to the codex.

 

John Walker generally seems to just play / post about whatever he wants these days. I guess he's in a privileged position like that.
