>Vidya reviewer hasn't beaten the game they're supposed to be reviewing

>>713074269 (OP)
I used to have a problem with that too, until I realized pretty much everyone on this board judges a game either before it's released or within the first hour or two of playing it.

>>713074319
And you're part of the problem

>>713074269 (OP)
>watching a vidya reviewer instead of gameplay footage without commentary
There's your first mistake.

>>713074437
This, vidya reviewers are fags

>>713074437
You just spoil the game for yourself if you watch it before playing. Best way to go in to games is totally blind.
But each for their own I guess

>>713074269 (OP)
Most people don't beat their games. Chances that fans never actually cleared their favorite game is quite high.

>>713076225
you dont spoil anything by watching some gameplay just to know if its worth your time

>>713076382
Literally spoils the gameplay

>>713074269 (OP)
many such cases

Anons aren't professional critics or "journalists"

In their defence, it is literally impossible to finish several games a week.

If the game is shit or hasn't revealed all its core game mechanics after 7h to be judged then it's not a good game. Or are you unironically one of those "The game gets good after 20h" fags?

>>713074269 (OP)
>>713074319
Depends on how deep the analysis is, but for a surface level play-don't play review an hour is more than enough to ascertain that something like the Witcher is shit

I just look at negative reviews if I'm unsure about something
Seems to work out well enough. Articulates on flaws and you can judge whether they'd be a deal breaker but longer reviews also point out positives.

>>713074319
It really depends on the game. If you want to claim a game is a master piece than you better have played it from start to finish.
If its dogshit than it's not going to be salvaged in the last 2 hours. Maybe reviewers should disclose how much they played
I wouldn't expect from a reviewer to make 20 runs in Hades just to rate the game or find every Korok in Botw

>>713074269 (OP)
>hfw you want to try vaginal

>>713076921
yeah this is the unfortunate conclusion i've come to; you're simply not finishing multiple games that are longer than 10-15 hours at most in a week, especially if editing is involved.
best just to be transparent about it but i can see why people would view that as inauthentic.

>>713082375
Should they be called impressions instead of reviews? That might help.

>>713082662
probably, but depending on the outlet/format i feel like that could lose you a lot of credibility. people will just rule out your opinion in any serious discussion, even if it's unfair to.

>>713074269 (OP)
over the past few years I have an annoying tendency to quit RPGs right at the final "point of no return" or right before the final boss. Can't bring myself to keep playing for whatever reason. Have no idea why it happens or why I do it. Please tell me I'm not the only one

>Vidya reviewer can't make new videos because he only plays the most normie bare bitch shit

>>713076225
if there's a game I know I'm gonna play day 1 or preorder (very rare but does happen) I'll avoid everything about it. Trailers, reviews, images, etc. I'm already gonna play it and don't need to be convinced or hyped up any further

There's a dude's who schtick is doing game reviews after getting 100% in a game if you're that interested.

>>713083264
>lose you a lot of credibility
That's happening now with IGN thougheverbiet. These outlets just need to be honest again.

>>713083414
i've done this with games i'm particularly fond of, i guess it's because i don't feel like i have to 'move on' from the game/the feeling it evoked if i've never actually finished it, or something.

They always, ALWAYS manage to say "yeah I got pretty far in it but just got uhh distracted with other games, I've got to go back and beat it eventually..." and then tell you they're an expert.

do people here unironically care about what reviewers think? You can just watch gameplay and decide for yourself right?

>Vidya reviewer beat the game on "Story" aka easy mode
If you do this, your opinion about the game is completely invalid.

I know one channel that makes surprisingly decent vids but they have more and more focus on facecam segments and I keep dreading the day they start putting on the screechy falsetto

best way to get a review of a game you're interested in is reading negative comments (on steam for example) and figure out if the issues they have bothers you enough to not buy
that way you don't get spoiled and you get a genuine opinion

There's something about Maomao that makes me wanna see her get beaten and raped. Maybe it's the way she embodies a feminist fantasy but I think she should be put in her place.

it's different when it happens to someone you're familiar with, it never hit like that before

Never touched the series but at least from second hand information there's apparently some political mumbo jumbo and she can't risk getting pregnant with her boyfriend or whatever so that was the compromise

>>713074269 (OP)
most of them never beat the games they review.

>>713086012
Whores back then didn't have real birth control.
So it either went down their throat or up their ass.
CatCat was groomed to be the greatest whore, even if she's a frigid flatty for now.

I used to like this guy called JerkSansFrontieres (he also was a host for the channel Sinclair Lore) for Bloodborne and Dark Souls stuff because he actually knew a lot about Japanese culture that I didn't.
Hearing the guy go tranny in real time actually made me sick to my stomach and I had to stop watching.

Maomao is for anal.

They almost never finish games.

>>713074269 (OP)
Was literally thinking this currently playing FF7 Rebirth. Theres no way those fucks fully beat it with the amount of perfect/high scores they gave it.

The amount of curated "enablers" is disgusting. If I'm having a mental breakdown and start showing external signs of distress I don't want people "congratulating" me as I make a public spectical of myself. Never thought this century would be "the emperor's new coat" extended cut.

>vidya reviewer no longer releases as many videos as he did years ago
at least they're still good quality.
I miss you, mold man

It really is an autism related problem that has no greater outlet. They get all the positive affirmation they can handle and a following of people that will abide by a set of conformist rules that rarely get broken. A "safe and welcoming" environment of enablers all trying to outdo each other in support of the afflicted party.

>>713074269 (OP)
You can judge a game's mechanics, aesthetics and soundtrack with under 5 hours of playing. You can't judge the pacing or plot, but those usually correlate with the former.
