ITT: Funniest moments in gaming journalism history

NOOOO YOU CAN'T TAKE THE PISS OUT OR JOURNOS NOOOOOOOO

>>718885881 (OP)
I don't pay attention to journos, but context in the OP pic? Is some journofag playing it and going "EWWW ICKY BOOBS" or some other similarly gay shit?

>>718885881 (OP)
i hate gamer journos but i'd gladly take them over ecelebs

>>718886064
this was some of the hardest i've ever laughed in my life

This 'controversy' joins the best moments with journo seething.

>>718885881 (OP)
Who's objectively the sexiest japanese girl of all time? Please cite your examples.

>>718886172

>>718886212
>journo seething
Where? I want to read some of it.

>>718886172
yeah thats whats happening. he's going eww sexist gross boobs

>>718886204
have you seen the video of actual toddler playing the tutorial next to it ? holy kek

>>718886480
Are there journos on /v/? Seems like they'd be scared off at the first instance of seeing anons calling each other faggots.

>>718885881 (OP)
i do this unironically, asian women are ugly and have fucked up teeth/faces/bodies.

>>718886635
I just come here to quote unhinged posts for examples of stereotypical G*mers

>>718885881 (OP)
what a faggot

>>718885881 (OP)
That's patrick klepeck, a disgusting jew that personifies kotaku.

not the heckin misoggyknees

>>718885980
>all old games
Wait what????????

>>718886172
He’s hamming up a reaction for “comedic effect.” The game itself tries to set up viewing the videos as salacious when it’s just some mild gravure shit.

>time travel movie
>character goes back in time and walks by a news stand
>Magazine cover has an absurd on-the-nose reference to the future

Seeing all the journos collectively losing their minds on twitter when their advertisers pulled out during GG.
The best one was when Intel pulled out of funding Gamasutra and Frank Cifaldi was in tears of rage over it.

>>718888857
I believe Pokemon is so popular nowdays because of that single cover. It just goes so hard

>>718888857
I dont get it
Pokemon was huge in 1998. I mean its huge now but it was HUGE then. How is that referencing the future.

>>718889450
>Is it bad for them?

>>718886212
Speaking of

>>718889639
People already knew vidya addiction was bad for kids for years before 1998 though, it wasn't a new phenomenon is my point.

>>718886064
This killed gaming journalism

>>718888524
nice try

does this count

Cringe isn't exactly funny.

no

>>718889639
It was controversial though because some boomers thought it was satanic not because of any addiction

>>718888857
oh yeah I didn't see it at the time but I read some fag big wig liked Poliwhirl so much he's the reason he was front and center for this and other stuff. I remember him being prominent in the cereal box too

Hated this guy when he joined 1UP.

>>718889639
>dude I grew up with hyperviolent and hypersexual video games and movies and I turned out just fine

>>718885881 (OP)
>covering eyes at extremely tame fanservice
This guy is a pedo or rapist, isn't he?

>>718892672
Somewhat related but I was watching Kingdom Hearts 3 review and the guy was complaining that this design was too sexualized. WTF is wrong with these people.

>>718889450
>mtg has several cards that are worth thousands of dollars each because they're old and broken
>pokemon has several cards that are worth thousands of dollars each because they're old and logan paul made collecting them a normalfag hobby
It's "HUGE" now, not then.

>>718889687
I love watching ESL nips btfo journalists so much its unreal

>>718888524
Oh no you don't.
Patrick Klepek was one of the shit-stirrers who were in cahoots with Zoe(who made a guy kill himself).
He wrote shitty articles where he whined about how women were "demeaned" in video games and other woke bullshit("Monster Hunter World and colonialism)
Everyone hates this guy, and I'm glad that him and his ilk are for the most part without a job.

>>718893607
he has a job though? When Waypoint got defunded they left and made Remap. They have plenty of paypiggies who eat up all that woke garbage they write/podcast about

>>718893802
nta but I've never heard of remap before in my life, so that's fine. They can all go work somewhere I never hear about.

>>718886064
Wasn't that the guy who complained Mass Effect was too hard because he somehow never figured out how to level skills?

>>718886064
The Classic

>>718892359
>journalists will shit out a review like this unironically and "people" will continue providing them their attention

>>718894116
Jason Shreier.
Still at large and begging The Silksong devs for codes.

>>718885881 (OP)
Why didn't he just turn down the brightness of it hurt his eyes that much?

>>718893607
>go to a store called wacky satoshi's jerk off parlor or whatever
>freak out at the idea you might see a female presenting nipple
Perfect example of the total corporate takeover where this kind of performative bullshit is all over the place.

>>718895362
He faked it for his shitty outrage audience.
He literally had photobucket pics from his college days with titles like 'Im gonna rape that bitch'
Most of these guys are faking being 'Allies' and 'Male' feminists to get pussy. It's just a very jewish courting technique. Doesn't hurt when they can get a financial gain from it too.

>>718895851
>He faked it for his shitty outrage audience.
It doesn't really matter if it's scripted or improv performative.

>>718892359
Imagine invoking Sisyphus to describe tiptoeing onto a pressure plate while throwing a bowling ball in a SpongeBob video game.

>>718886212
good thing (((he's))) in (((his))) safespace website now

>>718886212
>Elon Musk buys twitter
>jews make website of their own
>fills up with pedophiles immediately, and jews, and jewish pedophiles
Hmmmm

>>718896421
>want to make a living playing games
>doomed to play them all day but never properly or for fun
Sisyphus seems like an appropriate reference, but not for the reason he intended.

>>718897204
He doesn't have to play video games for a living. It would only really make sense if it was the only job he could get.

>>718885980
Valid criticism depending on the price, knowing Nintendo they definitely charged full price for a set of roms

>>718888139
They're reviewing the metroid prime trilogy collection and criticized it for being a collection of the three metroid prime games.

>>718893078
Whatever you do don't look at gen 1 sales

>>718888857
>"IS POKEMON BAD FOR CHILDREN????" the Time Magazine cover bellowed in a deafening baritone, Nintendo's little monsters dancing and cheering in rancor as they seemingly bulge out from the page's edges

>>718897251
I still have no idea who Adam is and that makes it funnier.

>>718893078
Pokemon also printed an order of magnitude more than early magic sets

>>718889687
How little English is needed to effectively call him a faggot. Almost elegant in its simplicity that someone that barely speaks the language can still do it.

>>718886064
>>718899016
This guy is a joke as a journalist, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but he got cancer. He recovered but I'm kind of annoyed that socially it kind of wiped the slate clean when it was clear he wasn't very qualified for his job.

It's been satisfying to to see the relevance of games journalists wither away over the past decade. Not that were truely all that respected in the first place.

>>718900630
I wish this were true but I see too many thetranny and pcfaggot threads on /v/ against my will.

>>718888857
Man pokemania was awesome. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.

>>718900749
I don't think anyone else sees them but us frankly.

>>718889687
Japs hate these fags so much lol

>>718885881 (OP)
based gravure videos.

>>718893078
Charizard cards and a few others were worth a few hundred bucks though. But you are right the current boom is because of scalpers ruining the hobby hoping to get rich off of cards instead of lotteries and scratch offs like a regular human being.

>>718901232
tbf a lot of them just hate americans. They flipped from screaming about sexuality for christ to screaming about rape culture. It's a long history of americans calling other people evil for making shows americans like to watch.

>>718893015
See, I don't think this is at all sexualized, just a cute outfit a chick her age would wear normally especially in 2000s. Hell Riku's outfits have been more sexualized but he's not gay and I'm not gay so there's no issues with it. See women loved this design and its 100% fan-servicy. Somehow the opposite is BAD for men/boys to see! I fucking hate these hypocritical no pussy getting faggots.

>>718902118
Your mom though, she cried so hard someone called cops on her when she was getting your sperm cells rammed into her womb.

>>718902212
holy fucking ESL

>>718902089
This looks insufferable from thumbnail alone.

>>718885881 (OP)
Making meaningful commentary on this is retarded but i can't help myself

Whats so interesting about this is how performative it is. Why is he closing his eyes? Are you meant to believe he has never seen a naked woman or watched porn before. That, like a child his guarding his innocence or someshit. No. He's totally over-socialised. Knowningly or not he's aware that his response to this will be judged so he makes a performative denial for his audience. If he laughs it off or enjoys it he's a creep. If he says its fine, he's dismissive. So you get this absurd performance, oh no a woman in a bikini, watch the fuck out. I better let everyone know that i have the politically correct response to this stimuli. He's a slave

>>718902297
> Doesn't know about your mother jokes.
> Gets upset and calls ESL.
5 dora suki suki mother yes?

>>718885881 (OP)
Is there a video?

>>718902405
you're not fooling anyone

>>718902297
SIR, YOU ARE BICH BASTARD! I AM HAVING THE SEX WITH THE MOTHERS! YES, GOOD MORNING!

>>718902509
You are Chinese therefore automatically ESL because you speak Chinese as yours first language. Subhuman.

Never forget when PC Gamer couldn't beat the first dungeon in Oath in Felghana.

>>718902568
>STOP CALLING ME ESL, YOU ARE ESL SAAR
every reply you make proves english isn't your first language and are one of the reasons 4chan sucks now. stop posting.

>>718902543
The funny fact is that Americans use the word "Mom" and British use "Mum" and he encountered too many high and fancy scientific words that don't appear in his Government Approved English-Chinese Dictionary that he outed himself as the bitch ass government spy/terminally online tranny from China..

>>718902654
Keep crying slant eyes ching chong baang your mommy! Take your recycled with text added memes you stole from whites from 2010 and pre and changed to approved format with a gacha character you are allowed to shill. Back to your bilibili gooksite whoreson.

>>718902654
FIVE DORA FRIED RICE SLANT EYES WHORESON PLEASE GIBS ME DATS!

Any old niggas remember this?

>>718902785
I didn't read magazines even when they were around because internet was a thing already and I could watch a let's play or see gameplay clips for myself.

>>718902826
Another case of a thread ruined by a brownshit of asia calling other "brownoid" (Red flag) chinese use the oid suffix. Thanks for outing yourself you can go back to your MINISTRY OF STATE SECURITY appointed place to bitch and moan you got owned. You call ESL on everything you shit eating faggot.

>>718885881 (OP)
Genuinly why are americans so afraid of attractive women?

>>718902961
>>718901790

>>718886212
Is there an actual controversy maybe I missed it in the other thread but people didn't even post tweets of other devs

>>718893015
What review

>>718903171
Whenever (((journalists))) don't receive keys from big name games, they try their best to stir up drama about it.

You know where this is going

>>718903440
If he can't finish at top 5 in 10 races, well he's certified shitter.

The times even unapologetic liberal douchenozzles accidentally said "Even I've noticed we can't have nice things"

>>718902212
>insults his mom in broken english
brown moment

>>718903549
Where's the problem

>>718903815
The journalist described the most common modern way to play an FPS as a negative for that game.

>>718903660
> NOO YOU ARE BROWN!
You are still chinese, you are orange, black and brown. You are never American. Your first language is your mother's tongue which is Chinese. DOUBLE DOWN HARDER DINGLONG. Just because you don't understand how English works doesn't mean others don't. Ya'll Chingchongs wear glasses lmao.

>>718895851
>He faked it for his shitty outrage audience.
Ohh, suddenly I feel like his writing and opinions on games are based and true!

>>718903914
I'm neither a chink nor a poopjeet (like you).

>>718903952
> Ree, I'm not chinese or indian!
> Somehow I don't know what broken English actually means.
> REEE STOP HATING ON CHINESE THEY ARE MY BUDDIES.
Yeah because you are Chinese, get out.

>>718904051
I hate chinks and poopjeets, anon. Stop projecting with your literal shitposts.

>>718903105
Because theyre obsessed? With what? Ugly women?

>>718894116
this guy

>>718904095
> I hate.
Nah you pretend to hate them, tell me why you hate Chinese? Go ahead slant eyes. You will not say one bad thing about them ITT other than a slur which doesn't count.

>>718888857
>Each successive generation post-Pokemon keeps breaking the prior's record for number of adult virgins

I'd say that Time wasn't too far off the mark there.

>>718904128
No, YOU are obsessed with americans.

>>718889945
Pokemon's entire marketing strategy was getting kids addicted to it.

>Gotta Catch 'Em All

I saw Shin Godzilla again at the theater today, and my vote goes to this little baddie. I've had many a fap imagining those lips wrapped around my pecker.

>>718904156
1. they scam everyone
2. they shut down anyone who criticizes chink companies or the CCP
3. they make bootleg food to poison others with to save money
4. they make bootleg constructions that crumble within months/years to save money
5. they make bootleg media because they're creatively bankrupt
6. they have no morality or code of ethics so they exploit any non-renewable resource they can
7. they call you a racist if you tell them to stop being so fucking annoying
8. they refuse to take accountability for covid despite it clearly coming from fucking wuhan
9. they mass buy shills around the world to suck their dick constantly because everyone who's not retarded knows how much china sucks otherwise

Hope that helps. Now stop posting; your smelly, brown, broken english hurts my eyes.

>>718897251
2010s era discourse is funny in hindsight cause half the people are now literal whos
