Journalists don't like hard games bc they have to play everything that releases to have an opinion, so if they can't see the whole thing in under 3 days it's barely playable garbage, unless it's a loot shooter in which case they'll play it forever and also say other games are too long,

it's funny b/c it's true

The idea of gatekeeping a single player offline game is the funniest poo poo in the world to me

It's just another reason why the woke journo crowd is utterly detestable since gatekeeping is a legit issue and they use it to describe the hobby of playing videogames.

Yes a game can be too hard, why not. But it doesn’t mean there’s some social obligation that wasn’t met. Duck off.

Or going back to Celeste, a game I really like and where I think persistence through failure is at the core of its themes: it didn't bother me that accessibility options were there and if someone used them to get through maybe they didn't have the same experience as me but that's ok. I feel like that game is pretty popular here and I'm curious if any of you feel it was cheapened by the easy mode stuff. Or if you or anyone you know felt patronized by it. I feel like this idea gets pushed back on as a social justice crusade bogeyman but when it's actually implemented it doesn't have these terrible effects. That's just my experience though.

much like your goalposting

the joker, that famous villain, has me trapped. at one end are the games journalists in a cage over a flaming pit, at the other end, are the forum admins strapped to bombs. i have to pull one lever for the other to survive. what do i do? what can i do?

The way Celeste is it probably wasn’t a big deal to let people use god mode or whatever the ridiculous options were so it probably didn’t affect it much. But if that’s all it takes then maybe Bitchmade scrubs should just download a trainer and stfu.

celeste also put all the story in the first 3rd of the game, telling reviewers everything after that was optional

Ben is easily the biggest "sjw" at giantbomb and the woke mob turned on him in seconds, leaving nothing but bones looking like the enemies in Tomb of the Giants. Why would anyone in their right mind attempt to appease that crowd when loving Ben is Cancelled. He calls his gf his partner for fucks sake.

I hope From makes a journalist version of the game next time and then releases the real one for grown rear end gamers to play.

Journalist version should just be a cutscene and end credits like that hidden ending in Far Cry 4

It should be illegal for a game journalist to say anything other than “I’m a trash can.” Deceptive marketing or something. Any class action lawsuit goons up in here?
