Just purchased Tales of Berseria. I've been intrigued by that series ever since watching an LP of Symphonia, and I've heard a lot of good buzz about this one. It looks really cool, so I'm excited to get into it once it finishes downloading!

I doesn't surprise me that Aurthur Gies cannot beat a video game. Dude is a total hack that would never cut it in any job that requires effort.

Missing point blank shots is probably too bad, but I don't think you have to be spectacularly good at video games to be a good video game reviewer person, and in fact it often might hurt, because there's a point at which you get good enough that your experience is vastly different from the majority of people who are going to play the game.

came here to post that DOOM "review" playthrough and was pleasantly surprised people still remember that. between that and everything that ben kuchera does, Polygon is garbage tier and again I'm left unsurprised they were too bitchmade to finish Nioh in time

Not to defend the polygon man people don't like too much but the nioh review codes went out like a week ago and it's 40 hours long and also probably kind of tough for a lot of people and not just games journalists. They aren't the only site who had to put up something saying they haven't finished it yet

They were talking about the stupid nazi punching back and forth that has been going around recently because Austin Walker posted about it on twitter, instead of video games, so no actually steer very clear of it. Instead go to the Imp Zone thread

If anything it's pretty cool that Polygon has the integrity to say that they're not going to review the game until they've completely finished it rather than push out a review to meet a deadline.

i agree with this from a review as consumer guide point of view, but the video was pretty damning. it looked like it was their first fps without keyboard and mouse

Did anyone actually expect Johnathan Blow, noted crazy weirdo whose only skill is making video games, to have rational thoughts on current events

Now someone post the jontron sjw video and let's really get the ball rolling(don't actually do that)

Great. Yeah I was defending The Witness from people saying it had a condescending regressive agenda by pointing to his lack of public political discourse, so of course he has to mansplain like a douchebag

jontron doesn't make videos unless they are sponsored ads or guest appearances on his mra friend's podcasts. :sad:

I haven't even touched Mario Run yet. tbh i'd rather play a paid fire emblem than a gacha game. I still have to get the second GBA one and shadow dragon on VC.
