People keep saying Jeff Kaplan always puts out these really in-depth videos about game balance but whenever I click on them he's just talking about how much he wants to have sex with Sombra and piss on Roadhog's chest?

People cared more about Ebert's opinion of video games than Ebert cared about video games.

Ebert's criticisms of video games were also pretty valid for the most part. I think they just weren't his cup of tea, but every time he tried to voice what bugged him about them it always sounded super duper negative. (Which is pretty much always gonna happen if you try describing something you don't like, really.)

Fighting games don't really need reviews because there's only like 3 series left and everyone knows now to avoid Capcom so that leaves you with like 2 releases a year.

You could've just said everyone should just play GG until it starts sucking and we bandwagon to another series.

So i assume the goons think that jim sterrling is the true review of zelda becuase he hates it. he is a awful reviewer with a shity fanbase. and ignoring the fact 4 weeks ago he made a video about how we should steel stuff from the nintendo store from times sqare and he don't respect anyone from there. goons will love anyone for being bad at their job. see D&D being all for Hillary.

Are they over that "Citizen Kane of video games" kick yet? I suspect fully half of the people who wrote articles like that had never seen Citizen Kane, and the other half had no idea what makes Citizen Kane important and just use it as shorthand for "something good and important."

Couple pages back, but what is the importance of Citizen Kane? If there's no shorthand for it, if you know of a cinema discusso post that gets it that'd be a cool link. If not Ill ask in cd.

SC2 hd is my most played 360 game by like 10x. It's fun to buttonmash in and it's pretty good if you take it seriously, just pick a character you know nothing about vs new people.

it was written and directed by someone with a background in theater who'd never made a movie before yet also somehow got carte blanche to do whatever he wanted. Welles did a lot of crazy revolutionary things that we take for granted now, while still making an extremely well crafted movie on top of the experimentation. and, because i can't stop fellating him, Ebert's commentary track for it is what got me into movies

This along with the fact that it was a really early example of a film that did this kind of stuff right, had a lot of dramatic camera angles and lighting that really had never been done before, plus it's a pretty solid film. Also, it pissed off JD Rockefeller a whole bunch.

It's more of a film buff movie these days than a must-see, but it was a really obviously setting the bar for movies that came after it. It gets put on a pedestal a lot for comparison's sake, but games have had dozens of "Citizen Kane"s when you look at the actual historical context considering how many advances there have been in games tech and design over the years.

films always felt like it was film like a soap opra or a sitcom most of the time before Citizen Kane. there where big films before that did a ton, birth of a nation was said to be a landmark in film making but it also a highly racist film that started the KKK. see even movies can make horrable hate groups like the alt right.
