Gamejournos never recovered from this.

>offline version releases a year after
Proved Ross right before the whole SKG movement was a thing.

they literally, unironically, unequivocably did thoughie

>>723598091 (OP)
I worked for gamesply and ign back in the ancient times. Arthur was a fucking loser to us too for this. You'd constantly see peers play hall monitor for big corpo in the hopes that their boot licking led to opportunity later. In arthurs case it got eventuially got him into the nyt writing articles about 2025s best tablet styluses and shit, fate worse than death to be honest.

>>723598298
And they had to remake the game from scratch, retard

Must be nice being able to make shit articles and get paid for it.

>>723598751
So they made the game how they should have in the first place.

Wasn't there a mod day 1 to make the game work offline?

>>723599067
I know pirated versions worked offline just fine

>>723598091 (OP)
Why is /v/ obsessed with game journalists?

Can't make a server emulator? Anyway, trash design if it takes so much effort.

>>723599165
gamers are dead

>>723599067
It was found very early on that the only 'online' stuff was a handful of supply/demand variables meant to simulate cities surrounding yours. Pretty sure that they weren't even based on real player made cities either, literally just random number generators but being handled server side.

>>723599165
Because they have way too much influence in the game industry.

>>723599165
It's a combination of parasocial relationships and a warranted hatred of people that make a career out of lying to gullible children.

>>723598702
What was the view of Colin Moriarty? I'm sure he's a pariah now but even back then I remember on Nintendo Voice Chat he was being shit on for saying Bayonetta was 'empowering' for women. Also please let us know who the worst people at IGN were back then. I have ideas as to who they may be.

>>723598702
Better than waxing lyrical about turdwave feminism or some """nonprofit""" actively working to undermine out God given rights

>>723598091 (OP)
journos are the ones defending this practice though

>>723598171
It doesn't even make any fucking sense. It's like saying they made a vehicle that has to always be in motion 24/7 or it just evaporates.

>>723598751
Good, should have made it right the first time
also likely untrue

>>723601632
>he was being shit on for saying Bayonetta was 'empowering' for women.
I think that is actually the official narrative now. They first said that Bayonetta was another example of portraying women as sex objects. Then they found out that the creator and designer of Bayonetta was a woman in real life all along, then they said "well she made it under instructions to design it for the male gaze!" Later they then said that Bayonetta was in fact a feminist icon because she "owns her sexuality" and was an example of "sex positive feminism" and now gaslight that they always liked Bayonetta as an example of a positive sexual female character. Other than Anita who is strictly sex-negative.

Did Ubisoft have to remake The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest from scratch to release their offline modes?

>>723606347
Vanquish is many things but clunky sure as fuck ain't one of them.

>>723606145
Colin Moriarty was saying it back in 2009/10 not long after the game released. Either he was ahead of the curve or just putting out a hot take but it wasn't being heard at the IGN offices for sure.

>>723598091 (OP)

Because basically the entire modern user base of /v/ discovered this site from gamergate, and that's been their entire "personality" for the past decade

Why are developers/journos so quick to dunk on the audience in vidya? I feel like I always see devs or journos excusing something shit happening either in or relation to games, but in film/tv the examples are significantly more slim. Over in film/tv they only expect people to use kid gloves if you work inside the industry, because networking but also because they understand how hard it is, meanwhile in vidya it seems like everyone is expected to use kid gloves when critiquing. Marvel, biggest franchise at the moment hence why it's my example, has had a rough few years and actually has a lot of good reasons for such (dropping Kang, too many projects, Disney+) but they've never lashed out at audiences for not being supportive, hell fucking Fantastic Beasts was outright cancelled with 2 movies left and no audience attacks were made, the only time I am aware of audiences being attack was the Snyder Cut discussion *but* even those attacks were understandable as they were completely correct, that particular cut of the film didnt exist in the form they believed it did until the pandemic allowed for something to be done.

just a thought I had today.

>>723606689
It feels sloppy, not clunky.

>>723598767
>thinking blacks can steal better than jews
you're naive. jews have maxed out lying/stealing. blacks are more impulsive and willing to get physical instead of using words whereas jews are cowardly and will only do violence when the other parties can't hit back so they like to literally poison wells.

I'm sure he literally knew this wasn't true but was told to cover for EA

>>723607494
It applies to all businesses. When you work for a company you work for the customer, but you also see the customer as your enemy because the customer is an asshole. It's not just video game developers, it's just how the world works.

>>723607393
game journalist is a remain of a long bygone era when emails would take 24 hours to reach the destination and get news from E3 was really hard. The magazines died by 2000 a new breed of retards took the mantle.

>>723607494
Film journos also attack movie goers all the time, Anon. They're mostly interchangeable with game journos these days.

Repetition and punishment is a very asian thing to do tho. Giddu Gudo

>>723607631
I'd love an example, I cannot recall anything comparable to the frequent hissy fits that our journos have.

>>723607580
I think the film industry is slimy as fuck but it's just strange to me they have slightly more tact when it comes to not pissing off the enthusiast audience.

>>723599165
Because they went after /v/. And they suck at their jobs that badly.

>>723607230
What in the fuck does gaming journalism have to do with Israel/Palestine?

>>723607937
>I'd love an example, I cannot recall anything comparable to the frequent hissy fits that our journos have.
Kind of a crossover, but everyone going after the AVGN over fem Ghostbusters comes to mind.

>>723608054
that's a genuinely compelling point actually, hell the entire Ghostbusters 2016 and other adjacent films like it is perhaps the biggest example of film/tv journos acting like game journos.

>>723601632
>What was the view of Colin Moriarty?

He made the 'entitled gamers' video during the height of the Mass Effect 3 ending shitfire so I'm sure other journos were sucking his dick for sticking it to the dumb gamers.

>>723607580
>>723607937
>I think the film industry is slimy as fuck but it's just strange to me they have slightly more tact when it comes to not pissing off the enthusiast audience.

No. They're equally slimy HOWEVER, because of unions finance and a history of cheating bad enough so that they faced FMITA legal consequences from the FTC, they can't blatantly lie about the reception, sales revenue and profitability of a project in the same way you see all the fucking time in gaming. So when there's a giant turd like SW acolytes, or the antifa movie, one battle after another, that bombs like a death star, you can't just pretend it's successful like they did with AC shadows, or Indiana Jones Xbox, and protect the creatives that they suck the cock of so easily.

They are quite open and direct on how much they hate that regular audiences aren't buying their big, dumb woke bombs in film though.

>>723598975
I ain't clicking any of the articles but the title sounds like something chat gpt would write.
SEO and it's consequences have been a disaster for the internet

Why don't we just start our own video game journalism site instead of constantly paying attention to and complaining about these people
Clearly any idiot can do it, so why not us

>>723608974
Who the fuck is "us"? /v/ is not a monolith. It's full of communities that do not get along with each other. Shit, even among a single community, arguments about what's good, true or whatever happen all the time.

>>723608974
There's no such thing as game journalism. It was reviews, previews, interviews, publisher access. Magazines were distribution for press releases.

Now publishers stream media events direct to consumers. YouTube and Twitch has you covered. Back in the day people would buy based off of a couple tiny pictures on the back of the box, now there's so much easy information.

Gamjournos try to pretend covering workplace gossip is "journalism". It's all tabloid slop.

>>723601632
Colin was always good to me. The entitled gamers video he's infamous for i think haunted him for a good while. Since after his split with IGN he started shitting on the more corporate aspects of the industry. Never spoke with him a lot, but like I said he was chill to me and my little corner of the shop while I was there.

>>723607852
mostly gay office shit desu. Sometimes weird cringe shit would happen, sometimes for in house preview events publishers would send an army of sad strippers in branded clothing into the office to shill a demo for something most of us already played at e3, those were pretty funny. Got to meet C3P0's actor once, one of my co-workers cornered him and showed him his tattoo of C3P0 and the dude got visibly very uncomfortable and just asked him "why would you do that to yourself??". I got to chill with Chris Pontius and Bam Margera for a bit while they were in the office doing an interview for Jackass 3d.

>>723599165
>you think you hate journalists but you don't hate them enough
Goes for 100x for game journalists who don't even remotely pretend they care about actual games

>>723608974
Actual videogame journalism is thriving. It's called dudes playing videogames in their homes with a screen recorder and a webcam. This is also a superior medium for covering videogames.

When we talk about "game journos", we're talking about the corporate press.

"this.StartForceQuitCountDown();"
that's the string you comment out with any fucking text editor in the .package file
you comment that out, you play offline. Period.
You only needed to reconnect to save. Every bit of calculation computation and actual gameplay is handled offline, on your device.

It was complete and total fucking horseshit. The only thing they changed a year later was commenting that same string out (you can check it right now with a copy, in fact), and then yes reworking the save system.

>>723612765
(Also fun fact this is one of the reasons EA invested in denuvo as a startup and many companies are so hardline against user mods, they don't want people circumventing their fucking bullshit systems designed to restrict your ability to play things you are paying for. Fuck them.)

>>723606145
Honestly, considering Bayonetta a feminist icon is absurd.
That game is the feminine equivalent of Duke Nukem, it's a self aware parody. Bayonetta is a stupid ridiculous character who you laugh at more than anything.

>>723608974
People have tried, and the thing is, you don't actually need it. Games journalism is a vestigial limb at this point. People have internet and can just fucking play games, and tell each other if they're good or not. This is a solved system.

Something about the term "sex work" makes me frown just reading it. I don't like it.

>>723613086
If being a prostitute isn't shameful then why can't we say prostitute?

>>723605882
It did "make sense", as the publisher explained it, because they basically claimed it was a cloud game using a lot of remote CPU power and the game could never run properly on a local machine alone.
The real BTFO was when whoever that was hacked it up to run without online and, surprise surprise, it ran perfectly fine and humiliated everyone involved as liars and bullshitters.

>>723615881

>>723616125
it also comes under the whore umbrella

>>723613137
Because the word has a negative connotation.

>>723616458
it has a negative connotation because it's a bad thing and everyone agrees it's a bad thing

>>723613271
>a cloud game using a lot of remote CPU power and the game could never run properly on a local machine alone.
this sounds exactly like what some one said to sell the idea of it being always online.

I mean in fairness even if they had never released an offline version, it would always have been super easy, barely an inconvenience.

This journo's take was always retarded, and he was very confident about it. "You literally don't know what you're talking about" is a very strong statement, and, of course, he'd have been better off shoving it up his ass.

I mean, feminists who want to ban the male gaze have always disagreed with conservatives who want to ban lewd things, even though they argue for policies that are extremely similar. This stuff is just written like this because an enemy faction did it; the fact that she's correct is nice and all, but if her faction was ascendant in censorship she'd be writing up justification for it instead of opposition.

Now journoloids are pretty much plotting to make the whole gaming landscape worse so I see them as direct enemies because I still do care for the medium.

Just as an example now they are pushing articles saying GTA6 should be $100. I think they deserve to be beheaded for that and that should be the moderate position.

They should be writing stuff like pic related daily, instead they beg and hope for some crumps to fall from the big corpo table, like dogs. A normal person would kill themself immediately, but they are too shameless for that.

Back in the 1UP days I used to listen to a podcast with him and some Mexican guy, and even back then he was a holier-than-thou prick.
He hasn't changed a bit.

1up got shut down and people donated money to some of the guys to keep their popular podcast going. Arthur was roommates with one of the guys and he somehow hijacked the entire thing. No one knew who he was and everyone hated him.

It felt clunky on controller. Wasn't until the late PC port could I fully appreciate the game.

You literally don't know what your'e talking about

Wasn't that eitger Anthony Gallego or Ryan Scott who had the tattoo? I remember hearing that on The Gamespy Debriefings.

Imagine the sheer amount of chutzpah required to tell a mostly nerd audience that games can't be fully offline. It's shocking that this guy actually hit post after typing that shit. It's like telling car nerds that you don't need wheels for your car.

Gamers urinalists are by their own admission not ethical, that's what they said back in 2014. It's why streamers ate their lunch and now are the new go-to for gaming news are reviews.

>>723629692
Imagine spending any amount of time on /v/ and not coming to realize that gamers are fucking retards

>>723622791
Time to go offline irl

>>723598091 (OP)
> We deliberately made the game tie in with our servers as a form of DRM
> We, therefore, cannot remove that from our game
> Yes we know the previous releases were offline and we could have made that but we didn't because we gobble cocks as a hobby.

> gets invlited to a Rockband preview event for their upcoming game
> talks about fizzy water and puff pastry
> hates rock music and thinks it's stupid
> thinks all video games are stupid
> hates his life
> not a single comment on new features of this game or what new songs are in this Rockband

Ladies and Gents... this is gaming journalism.

>>723598091 (OP)
Game journalists are so irrelevant these days that people are going back to stuff they said 11 years ago.
You love to see it.

>>723607494
TV and movie also gets that treatment, star wars, lord of the rings, Witcher... all the stuff that is for the nerd crowd will take the opportunity to shame the nerds

Reminder, you can make a shitty walking sim and as long as you are personal friends with some corrupted asshole journalist, you too can get a perfect 10/10 score and named GOTY!

Gaming journalists reviews are so fucking worthless. I'm sure some people even trade sex for reviews.

>>723613271
holy shit this made me remember the "cloud" era of tech
what a fucking shitshow that was

>>723598091 (OP)
I still remember this broken piece of shit game when it came out. You couldn't fucking play it because it's online only and the entire shit was down for months.
Meanwhile many journalist game it glowing reviews and all them had to change their score because of how bad the situation was.

>very japanese

Gaming journalists were all scumbags. They especially HATED anything made by japanese around the gamegate year.

Whenever I enter a gaming "journalist" thread it is customary to remind everyone in here - you don't hate them enough!

>>723631587
if anything it sounds like praise to me

Actually, Anita jumped on the STOP BANNING LE PORN GAMES bandwagon a couple months ago, so now she's sex...positive? I guess?

>>723619539
At worst it could have taken like a month to remove all the online code or make it optional, the problem they had is that it would have costed several employees time to do that, and since the game was a failure they didn't want to spend yet even more money.

I'll never forget this video. It's not even a fair competition. The pigeon doesn't have instructions written out on the wall for it, and it's younger than this journo's career.

>>723607494
The audience is usually retarded. Have you seen the shit people post here, let alone what normies say?

>>723629871
>ridicule "ethics in video games" in 2014
>gamer audience goes away
This is self inflicted, i don't know how you can breathe without choking on your own saliva if you can't figure this shit out by yourself. Hubris and stupidity go hand in hand after all, now a balding guy with cockroaches in his room has more influence than you cretins ever did. What a shame.

So she finally got a deep dicking.
