translation: we don't believe in our game so we'll let hype sell it instead of its quality

pretty pathetic to be honest

He gets balder and more Jewish looking every time I see him posted. Curious.

Early review has always been retarded. The game is either out or not with day one patch.

I remember when IGN reviewed Multiversus while it was in beta. That aged so badly.

You can feel the seethe

>>718849778 (OP)
Unfathomably based desu.
The opinion of game journos doesn't matter.

The only reason companies do this early access for reviewers shit is because it creates an incentive for positive reviews - the reviewers know they will continue to get early access if they praise the game and play down its problems.

>>718849940
More like, "We have nothing to prove to retarded game journalists who have been nothing more than an extended PR branch of the industry for the last 20 years".

>No!
This is perfectly reasonable and I'm sure it was already done in the past with other games? Who the fuck is trying to make a controversy out of this?
There are big companies that don't provie early copies PERIOD

I feel like the SilkSong devs need to release a public apology to those who havent bought their game.

>>718849778 (OP)
Why does the games industry try to review games in the same way movies are reviewed?
You generally can’t finish a game in an hour, so reviewing them in the same way movies are done and insisting on day one reviews is silly.
They should just release their reviews a week after the game releases, those who don’t care about reviews can buy it immediately and those who do can wait.

>>718849778 (OP)

I hate this fucker like you wouldn't believe.

>>718849940
All urinalists should die in a fire. Especially the gaming ones who are sodomite filth and another form of the evils of AAA.

>>718849940
What stops every game publishers from starting to do this? This is way too easy

>>718850632
Money. The whole point is to release your review first to generate clicks. Money is literally the only thing review sites care about.

IGN gives everyone a 7 to prevent being blacklisted from receiving a review copy.

>>718849778 (OP)
They don't want the journalists outing the added pozz before people buy.

>>718850376
you mean the PR branch silksong was happy to exploit to announce the release date

Yeah bro, journos were essential in bulding up hype. Nobody would even know the game is coming out or even what a hornet is if it weren't for journos.
God bless journos, they should get free priority access for their sacrifice

>>718849940
>silksong took us 7 years because hollow knight set us up for life and we had no incentive to rush it out. We're not giving out review copies because it wouldn't be fair to our fans that have waited so long and we don't want anything poiled for them
>THEYRE TRYING TO FOOL YOU INTO BUYING A PIECE OF SHIT THEY JUST PUMPED OUT TO SCAM PEOPLE
What a retard

>>718849778 (OP)
I fucking hated HK but this is based as fuck. Journalists are subhuman niggers with no actual passion for the shit they play unlike the people who care about this hobby and people who willingly gave money to a project before it was out. They pulles that stunt with the System Shock remake where months before the kickstarter backer beta released they gave it out to some random journo niggers after we had been waiting years for any kind of update on it. The whole beta period felt like an afterthought.

>>718851348
It's journofag cope

>>718849940
more like
>our game is good and famous, so we don't need to pay (((game journalists))) to create artificial hype

>>718849778 (OP)
I didn’t like hollow knight, but silksong looks to be an actual improvement, and shitting on journos is the cherry on top

I still wonder what caused the real delay. If they were actually pushing this "we're super chill bro game devs working at our own pace" thing, they wouldn't have put it on the Xbox thing last year. It was Xbox who said it'd be out in 2024, but I'm sure that wasn't blindsiding TC.

>>718849778 (OP)
based, fuck journos

>>718851727
I'm betting they had to migrate to godot and during the process they got caught up fixing/improving/adding stuff

>>718851727
Corporate sabotage. They were instructed by (((generous investors))) to take the Xbox show deal and rake in some more money but then delay their game to make Microsoft look like lying retards.

Why are redditors astroturfing this slop so much? It's a boring 3 hour long sidescroller that looks exactly like the first.

>>718849940
First post retardedest post

>>718849940
The quality of the game stands in it's own feet and has nothing to do with a journos score. Journos have fallen off so hard ain't nobody gives a shit what they think about games. Youre better off asking a dog on the street to rate the game for you then to trust a journo

The "game" looks like the most generic AI generated slop. Why do people even care?

Lol this shit will flop so hard
No one in this decade buys a game without looking up on a professional's opinion on it first

>>718849940
You MUST kneel.

>>718849940
>>718849778 (OP)
I just want to be able to play the game without having it spoiled to be before I even have a chance to play the game.
And to be able to form my own opinion without countless of venues waving their fucking reviews and scores around trying to influence my opinion before I've even had a chance to form my own.

>>718851727
Rumor is there was engine drama mid development.

Are the posts in defense of journos from genuine journofags/actual journos or is it just the contrarians trying another shitposting angle?

>>718850632
well it's mutually beneficial to the reviewers and the publishers, pre-release reviews drum up hype and are effectively free advertisements, review sites benefit from not needing to compete with independent coverage, like let's plays, streams and unbiased reviews

They solved this by releasing socalled previews before a games launch. Often not even finishing the game but giving first thoughts about it.
Of course that wasn't viable because mambo.

You're not making any kind of point here. He factually reports on actual things, has actual stories to write about in gaming. There's no argument

Why are soulsfags pretending like their normalfag slop isn't extremely well liked by journalists?

>>718849778 (OP)
I find diehard HKfags to be kind of annoying as the game isn't the masterpiece beyond reproach they pretend it is, but it was a good game and Team Cherry is incredibly based for this so I'll buy Silksong day 1 at full price.

>>718852936
So don't preorder or buy day 1 and wait for independent reviews. Do you niggers really need to be told a conclusion even a 10 years old would naturally come up with?

>>718853217
>reviews for a game that is day 1 in gamepass
Just play it yourself if you care.

Cool it with the antisemitic remarks

>>718852867
>hype and are effectively free advertisements
Team cherry doesn't need either of those because independents have kept the hype alive for years. Makes sense that journos shouldn't get dick

>>718849778 (OP)
Translation: we know our game is just a reskin of hollow knight and it will never beat the hype and it's surely not a 7 years work, but we don't want you to refund it before two hours lol.

Don't worry i'll wait for the reviews in any case before buyng : ^ )

>>718849778 (OP)
why you do fags continue to keep this faggot relevant

Why does /v/ suddenly care about journos?

>>718850632
Well.....
Back in the day, reviews were a BIG thing. You had like 5 magazines, so like 5 copies, but those reviews were out with the mag at the end of a month or whatever. They also got cool swag. I miss the 90s.

Yes, I know some games were 3/10 shit given 7.5/10 scores. But some games work off hype alone like FF7 and probably didn't need reviews day 1 if they came out today.

Shit, I couldn't imagine having to review a game in 2 weeks and not be able to finish it because I have 2 OTHER games I need to finish and review first. And I don't have a team of editors and shit like a Youtuber.

>>718849778 (OP)
This simply isn't fair.

>>718853386
Its literally just contrarians not realizing how stupid they look. They just want to take a jab at the game so they're defending any stance against it

>>718853863
Good, I don't want to play games that win the "journo dick sucking of the year" award

>>718850632
Because the first person to get a review out gets the most views. No one cares if your website releases something two days later than the initial review unless you're a big name.

>>718849778 (OP)
>silksong devs are shitting themselves so hard over how they can't live up the hype that they won't even give out review copies
My dick is so hard imagining how hard this is going to flop

>>718849778 (OP)
Why would devs send a copy for these "journalists" if they won't even finish the game before shitting out a review?

>>718850848
Because from what you know game journalist about, is them pointing out the added pozz, you fucking retard.

Grifter.

>>718854962
You interpreted that as if I was defending journalists. They would "out" the pozz by praising its inclusion, retard.

>>718853165
>He factually reports on actual things, has actual stories to write about in gaming.
He makes vague guesses all the time, consistently makes incorrect assertions about things, and intentionally withholds stories just to profit off of them. The Blizzard fiasco is a great reason why you shouldn't take him seriously. His articles in Bloomberg are like reading things aimed towards people who have never played video games before and only used to tell them to occasionally invest in something. I remember when the Steam Deck 1 was already out for a few months the latest Bloomberg just had stuff about how Valve was dipping their toes into the video gaming market after the Steam Machines failed with no other nuance or information besides "Valve is doing this", and then again when Nintendo announced the Switch 2.

He also loves to only seriously jump on stories ages after the writing was on the wall like with Anthem or Suicide Squad instead of talking about them as they are completely floundering or facing issues. He only seems to report on a lot of things when they're in the public eye instead of actually breaking news.

The only video-game news related person more aggravating than him is Michael Pachter. I've never seen someone so confidently incorrect on a regular basis yet propped up by big companies constantly with an ego the size of the moon.

Get a real job faggot. I don't need to hear any opinion except mine.
You wanna know what will happen? Fucking nothing, we'll go back to the pre era internet with word of mouth and nothing else. Yeah i know magazines existed but it was like one reader every ten kid.

Games journalism basically hasn't existed for me since Ryan Davis died, even before that, it was more valuable when print media was popular and you were a kid at the grocery store sitting in the magazine isle freebasing Nintendo Power and other magazines. Games journalists now are just a contingent of sad cunt English majors who couldn't get work at other companies.

It's not up to Amazon. Sponsorships are enforced like they are on a national level. It's the same for every social media platform, veiled/subliminal advertising is illegal.

While I appreciate your skepticism anon, be less defeatist. Not only is it a law that has existed for decades, any upset in that field would hurt Amazon and the big players (who already have an extremely efficient "honest" advertising pipeline) than anyone else.

Hollow Knight didn't send out review copies
In fact, most indie releases don't send out early review copies because journalists would rather prioritize AAA games with big advertising campaigns generating hype that they can piggyback onto

Because gaming as a medium will always be dogshit because of people who suffer from "little brother" syndrome in relation to film. it's an unserious stupid idiot class of insecure hacks just trying to ape real quality like literature, film, tv, etc because they're too insecure to embrace the actual strengths of gaming, not just as a medium but as a culture. they want to be the serious cool timeless art people but they just don't have what it takes, so all they end up doing is ruining a medium that could've been its own thing. And the irony is that if games had just always done their own thing and celebrated their own culture, they would've ended up garnering respect from everyone else.

it's why dogshit like last of us, bioshock, expedition 33 gets jerked off as hard as it does. it's about self validation for these people, not the actual quality.

>>718868806
ah yes, the conspiracy brain

>>718868875
He's right though. E33 is a 7/10 at best.

>>718868750
Jews can just choose to not be antiwhite.
Nothing actually compels them to do it.
Hell got into an argument with a Jewish friend some months ago over james gunn/new supes movie.
Even called him a subversive antiwhite rat snake kike. Then blocked him as I wasn't tolerating his shit.
3ish weeks later he gets a friend begging to unblock me and admits antiwhiteism is wrong and immoral.
You faggots have been playing the game WRONG for twenty+ years.
It's time to do what WORKS!
BTW janny faggots, this is relevant and ontopic because if we as consumers purge antiwhiteism from dev teams their output, quality and public brand will improve greatly.
So FUCK OFF!

Cool narrative and all, but E33 is a far better game than Hollow Knight

>>718868718
Journos bulit the hollow knight brand you fucking joke of a man. Where do you think you picked up this zealot love for this mediocre game you fucking tool? Hollow Knight has been the twitter game journo click darling since day one, that where all the game hype originated. Nothing about the success of this title was organic, you need money and connections in the industry to pull it off, and these posers had/have both.

I don't mind you brainwashed losers liking the game, play whatever you wish. But this narrative that Team Cherry are some outsider scrappy underdogs is pure cancer not on just vidya, but on humanity. You losers literally make the world a worse place to be in.

Because non-asian game "journalists" aren't journalists, they're retards with useless art degrees that failed so hard in life they had to fall back onto writing pre-canned columns for gaming websites to advertise video game products. The less time they spend actually interacting with video games the better, gives them more time to spend bitching about politics on twitter or whatever the fuck else pretentious fuckheads on the west coast do in their spare time.

He's less of a journalist than Geoff Keighley, and that guy's a glorified puppet for Sony Entertainment Inc. and IGN. Jason doesn't have any claim for himself, his daddy's one of those old media jews with hands in many news outlets like NBC and Washington Post, which why Jason has all of those connections readily available whenever he feels like pulling one up. Jason's dad also owns a private island that's been scrubbed off of google maps and the like, and Jason's been living in a mansion there since at least Diablo 3's launch because that's the earliest instance he's mentioned his father's primary residence (Jason also has several of his own properties on US land proper, most of which he rents out to tenants but he keeps at least two for himself to actually live in.

Why would it be a huge red flag? There's a demo of the game available at gamescom, people were clearly allowed to play the game (on the Switch 2 even). This whole red flag thing is just a fake narrative being pushed by game """"""""""""""journalists"""""""""""""" who realized they're no longer relevant for gaming press releases in the age of twitch streamers, when in reality they're just mad that they're no longer receiving special treatment. Fuck them.

>>718872958
yes, correct. AAA publishers are inherently untrustworthy whose only goal is to part fools from their money. Indie developers who refuse to bow to the standard corporate jewery, and deny the "standard practice" of releasing their product are based.

also I want all game journalists to lose their jobs and starve on the streets, and denying them the slight privilege they so love to pleasure themselves to brings me great joy.

NTA but i have 3060 Ti and i had no problems in the game in terms of performance until the open area at the very end of the game, from 90-110fps(60 Native) went to 40-60FPS(like 30 native). So no, for a UE5 game the game performance is decent, no crashes or other shit happening either

Yeah except that's also separated. Plus you can actually read these reviews or take a look at the bottom. Like if you see a game is hovering 66%.... you'd go hmmm I wonder why?
Then you see walls of Chinese then you drop that into deepL to at least check if it's inane bullshit

>>718878464
But they can - just don't buy the game on release and wait for reviews from actual humans, not journo pigs. The game's not going anywhere

>>718878558

I still don’t think it’s a good sign to not allow reviews, whether it game journos or not. People sucked off BG3 and that mound of shit didn’t even have working endings until months after launch. The more that’s out there the better for customers.

>>718878954
b-but muh evil game journalists who mind control people into disliking videogames!

>>718878954
Except there will be reviews by the people. In your example, how many game journos called that out early in the pre-release period? And even if they did, what was the big score they have on the frontpage that people will actually pay attention to

>>718878969
Don't be a fucking dumbass. Arabs are semites but not all semites are Arabs.

I WAS PROMISED THIS GAME FOR FREE, MY GOD SAID IT 3000 YEARS AGO

When did I say I'm a game journalist?

>>718881643
Sure, ranjeet/moshe. Same as there are different castes in india meaning they're totally different people.
Don't worry, I believe you.

>jews are white
stop trying to infiltrate other races you double-faced cunts

>>718882314
I don't give a shit about your jeet comparisons and your obsession with street shitters.
Again you can keep playing word games and go in circles all you want, nigger retard. Words have meaning, and obfuscating the meaning of words only helps the kikes.

>turns into /pol/ thread
many such cases

How do they even have a userbase at this point? You get banned for sneezing over there.

I'm sorry but this game is just not good enough to spend 7 years hyping up its 1.5 version.

>>718860216
Shit like this makes me think even I could do a better job writing about games

>Much as trannies and feminists love to harp on, everything is political, including video games.
So you're just as much of an brainrotted, annoying faggot as they are? Good to know.

>jews lie about being White to excuse and proliferate their destruction of Western nation
No one actually believes this shit anymore unless they are
a. 50+
b. just completely uninvolved in political matters.
subversive antiwhiteism is dead rabbi.

>>718882731
I thought a major complaint was they didn't spend 7 years hyping it up (or saying basically anything)

>>718872958
We have progressed past the need for industrycucks

>>718882671
maybe JUST maybe
urinalists should stop being antiwhite pieces of dog shit.
Then people might respect them again, think their opinions hold value and trust them to do their job.
But since so many use their position to undermine earnest hard working devs like TC and the FNaF guy, while propping up absolute antiwhite pig shit like concord, or veilguard....not my problem.

have you tried not being sneaky and duplicitous, rabbi?

I'm surprised that this spawned so much talk. Doesn't this usually happen with kickstarter-backed indies?

yeah, and they make sure only the most extreme far leftists are allowed

WHY is "game journalist" still a profession? When was the last time anyone has actually logged on to IGN or Gamespot to read a review?

>>718872958
journalist are pointless anyway, i don't need to buy games day1. but i'll trust a random indie team of three than any tripleA company. because tripleA companies NEED the paid journalism, if they refuse to have journalist look at it it's immediately understood why.
indie games don't operate on that logic since they don't have, by definition, the baking of big corpos

>>718885514
It's less about games journalists more and more about patreon/discord friend simulator podcasts and internet dads. Games are just the background noise, the fuel, the fodder that's used to facilitate that community experience between secondaries and these content creators.
