Most of the time it's not about transperancy and objectiveness. It's about towing your readers/viewers line for cash. Rupert Murdoch took a million dollary doo Australian paper conglomerate and made a billion dollar global empire by telling people what they wanted to hear and pandering to the popular opinion. I'd guarantee you that most of the spergs fighting this "Quinnspiracy" battle don't want an actual objective and transparent press. They just want the press to say nice things about the games they like and shit on others opinions.

@ Oscar continuously and consistently calling Dennis a rapist.

sometimes i love this thread

It's true, though, isn't it?

I mean if he didn't want to be called a rapist, not having a rape-face avatar would be a good first step toward changing that.

[WanderingWind]

I think the problem then becomes who's paying for the larger staff that necessitates.  For what it's worth, every place I've worked, even Rupert's company, kept the ad sales people 100% separated from editorial.  Maybe we can convince some readers to turn off Adblock to help them get the product they insist on not paying for?

Well, for starters, it doesn't require more staff, just a smarter use of the staff that exists. Second, yeah, that's sort of the problem with every news source. Everybody wants that shit for free and nobody looks at ads in 2014. If you have a real world solution for that problem, you'll be a billionaire.

[thisismyusername]

Whatever, Dennis.  You're still the same idiot you always were.  Have a great summer.

To be fair: He's (kinda) right. Republicque was mobile. As soon as that was announced a lot of backers for the kickstarter dropped off and a lot of people that were interested didn't bother to give it the time of day. That planned PC release (did it even happen) was supposed to help, but I don't think it did.

I think a lot of people, like you say, knew it was Payton and Company hyping and trying to sell it to people. Unfortunately for them, going mobile-only killed a lot of hype from the base that Payton had (console gamers, working with Kojima on a title and 343 for like... 3 months before going mobile).

Quinn is a bit on a different level, she is on PC/console/non-mobile so she's on a bigger "target board" for "gamers."

I don't disagree that there are too many axes in the fire now. The same damn thing happened with the Occupy movement: Good intentions, but the internet/"Anonymous" started to shit it up with it's many-headed voices that couldn't get a consistent message out there is happening here.

People who are upset by living in all white neighbourhood really need to do something about it. It's no good just sitting around, shaking your heads and tutting. That will not achieve anything. Why not petition the authorities, organise a demonstration? These things need to be tackled at a community level, so why not move into a neighbourhood in Chicago/Los Angeles/New York which is all black/hispanic/asian? See if you can encourage others to move into those areas with you. Take action people.

Quinn is a bit on a different level, she is on PC/console/non-mobile so she's on a bigger "target board" for "gamers."

There's that, but she is a she (therefore scrutinized more, because evil womyn) who made a twine game (easy to use text adventure software) about depression (oh boo-hoo, fuck sympathy), which apparently puts her into the SJW camp (sacred gamer values are at risk), which many perceive only got through Greenlight or got any attention at all because of it. The scandal is the perfect "SEE, SEE, TOLD YOU SO" moment for a lot of MRA types, hence the rabid reaction.

Le sigh.

Don't do that. orz

No.

Women are a waste of time. They want you to do all these things for them. Treat them nice. Buy them things. Talk to them. It's a waste of time, a game they play. And I want no part of it anymore. I've thought about this long and hard, while other stupid men waste thier time buying beers and drinking out in some infantile attempt to get thier coveted prize. Wasting money upon money. Buying body spray to smell nice. Buying cloths beyond simple t shirts. Getting haircuts. All to appease women. I say no more. If women were turly good creatures they would except you for you are. They always complain that men are shallow, but women are even more shallow. All I ask is for a girl who is as skinny and in shape as  hayden panettiere and as charming as Zoey deschanel. But thats too much! Dosen't stop them from asking so much of me.

"Stop wearing those assassin creeds shirts you bought from Khols"

"Stop talking about Final Fantasy"

"Get a job"

"Comb your hair"

Constant nagging. I accept them. Why can't they accept me? I'm not fat so of course I would'nt want a fat chick either.

And it's better this way. This way I get to play my video games in peace. We've seen what women do when they get involved in video games. They destory the sanctity of them. A women could never understand why The Last of Us is brilliant prose. She'd complain too much that Joel is the main character. Not understanding that of course Joel is the main character because a guy has to do all the dirty work. Killing bumbs is not women's work. No all a women would do is complain about the harmless costumes in things like Dead or Alive and Tekken. I was playing Dead or Alive 5 in class one day and a girl had the nerve to say that I was playing a sexist game. She's the real sexist. The females in DoA are sexually liberated females. It's just tna. Besides these girls kick ass and are hot. They are empowering to women. I've had female friends say they like the doa girls. Girls want to be sexy and powerful after all.

Anime fans got it right.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Journalists getting too chummy with developers/publishers and not necessarily divulging it.

It *is* something that needs to be addressed.

You MRA shitbag!

[Momo]

Who cares (I've been saying this a lot lately, I've turned into Harrison Ford ) seriously. It's people who make a living by blogging about something, let them get chummy with whomever, it's irrelevant. You arent supposed to treat it as news or something that actually matters, it doesnt. It's there to tell you 'x game comes out on day y' or 'here is a trailer/screenshot' or 'this game supports 5 players' etc. If you want to source opinions about games and actual gameplay, the fuck are you listening to these guys for?    Ask some nuccas on the bore or some gaffers that hasnt been sucked into the great tatakai of 2014.

[etiolate]

It would be nice if this killed off the numerical scoring system.

speaking from professional experience, that's something just about everyone on the "journo" side would love to do.  the readers, unfortunately, strongly disagree.  probably because they don't want to read more than 160 characters on any topic anymore.

To be fair to the readers, most of the text in an average review is completely worthless. It's basically a retelling of the back of the box with splashes of fanboy drivel. Sadly, the number value tells more of what the reviewer thinks than the actual review text.

[Rufus]

Quality will float in a sea of shit. Somehow.

[etiolate]

okay, so then what are you actually asking for here?

A truly critical look at the game that goes over what works and what doesn't, and the reasons why. Don't tell me the controls are responsive. Tell me if they flow with the game and if they needlessly complex or offer inadequate options for the job at hand.

Reviews are often declarations without the reasons why. "Game would have been better with X." Okay, but why would it have been better? It's a review, so you're allowed to be subjective. Take advantage of that and show a real viewpoint and analysis.

Give me something worth reading. Tell me something I don't know.
