I often just skip articles and go straight to the comments, to see if there's any glaring errors that the readers are dogpiling on. Or to see the author engaging in slapfights. Without the comments, then how will you know the ways in which the writer is dumb? This is a crucial distinction, otherwise we'd go back to the wild west days of newspapers when everyone just believed everything they read, and journalists could publish anything without questioning their humanity.

idea: we can go back to talking about games in a gaming thread.

like how very disappointing SOMA is.

or no man's sky.

or how you should all just sell your body parts and become part robotic because robots are going to come kill us all anyway.

is the new battlefront gonna be good? on one hand, i like battlefield 4 and the frostbite engine has basically been fixed. on the other, it looks like a lot of the depth of bf4 was striped out to take advantage as much star warezzz fever as possible. the gameplay demos make it look fun, but it can also be bad in a whole lotta other ways that we won't see until the full game.

also, mgo is p fun even if it's kinda barebones.

the economist's comments section is p alright since it's closed off to subscribers (lol as if this is helping SA). the worst you see are free market blowhards that are at least putting in an effort to read the article.

gameplay demos are so tightly scripted for every multiplayer game as to be meaningless, put zero stock in them.

this is true. these clips also assume that an unnatural amount of coordination between people. ever since the death of dedicated servers and lobby system, I really have no idea how anyone engages these communities beyond muting anyone that makes a peep

i tried MGO. i found a good snipe spot and spent a match spotting people assuming this meant my team members would also see them. but i didn't get any points for doing this.

battlefield gameplay demos always imply that there'll be a coherent ebb and flow to the match, that frontlines will form and shift back and forth before one side through a combination of teamwork and tenacity manages to break through and win the day, as if every battlefield match doesn't end up in half the team running off into the mountains to get the sickest sniping spot while the other half gets ripped to shreds by a guy in an attack helicopter who's played the game for over a thousand hours, and the most fun you'll ever have is being an idiot behind enemy lines trying to shank people and steal their dogtags.

Battlefront is a DICE game so basically, wait until 2-3 months after it first comes out and gets most of the critical showstopping bugs patched.
