Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


The self-compromising insistance of FPS police to add every game that doesn't have 60 fps to their list no matter if it makes any sense is the most hilarious part of it. It's like half of the games on the list which makes it utterly worthless even for the intended purpose.

No, I'm sure every game they add makes them feel smug and self-righteous.

I can understand calling out a shoddy PC port that's locked to 30fps when a modern system can clearly handle much higher, but making a big deal out of anime VN games is pretty much the dumbest thing.

I was going to go look for that review but it looks like his site's getting DDOS'd yet again. Weird. You'd think the kind of people who do that would agree with a negative review of Yooka-Laylee because they probably think JonTron was treated unfairly.

Or is the DDOS still because Laura didn't give Persona 5 a high enough score?

All I know is that there are a lot of UK game reviewers on youtube and they all have this terribly annoying style where they have to lay out their argument like it's the preamble to a loving graduate thesis.

the only concrete memory i have of totalbiscuit is him having a twitter meltdown some odd years back about a reddit subforum being shut down, genuinely and earnestly comparing it to the napalming of a civilian village during the vietnam war

There's a bunch of bad reviews for yl, he's not alone. Even the meh ones are clearly folks who were primed to like it.

It seems like it's pretty polarizing. Destructoid and Game Informer's reviews are positive, while Polygon's and Eurogamer's are definitely falling in the "meh at best" range.

Game review scores are so inflated compared to every other genre that every release gets a 2/10 if it even loads when you press the start button.

I know people make fun of the FPS police thing and it's obviously a retarded argument when it comes to stuff like VNs, but there's value in knowing whether a PC port's good or bad, and limiting framerate--especially to 30--when the hardware can be powerful enough to go higher is a pretty big dealbreaker to action games and such.

And no, I don't follow TB's stuff, or any youtuber's really.

Jimbo doesn't work within the 6-10 scoring range that has become the industry standard, that's been clear for a while. We had to do this same song and dance when BotW got a 7.

the trick to sterling reviews is score + (10-score)*.3

so 7.9 for botw and 4.4 for yl. sounds right
