The mods just wanted to prove the users agreeing with Matt Groening right, even though they were clearly lacking in solid arguments. That's how nice REE mods are!

Did they change the ban system?

I got banned but theres no link to the post or the mod who did it. I have no idea what they think I did.

They never included the name of the mod who did it (even though they should)

I could have sworn there was a way to message the mod who banned you to bitch at them.

They also changed it so you cant log out when banned?

Is that even legal.

You basically have to clear cookies to log yourself. My 2 week ban is up in a few days.

There is no way thats legal in Europe

Why would it be illegal though? What law would it break?

So apparently the REE mods realised how dumb those screenshoots looked and changed all the bans and warnings to "Dismissive towards concerns of racism."

To all the REE mods who read this, which i think is most of you: it still looks dumb, is not a good look, and i can't believe you choose that hill to die on!

No it isn't. The planet can support many, many, many more humans than it does now.

This is the first time I see this point of view online. Usually, we see the contrary as the planet won't be abl to sustain more human beings as years come. I'm really curious to read article that support this point. Can you share any?

what

[shosta]

I was just joking, the new God of War is basically the same as every recent brawler except with way less slow motion so that it's actually fun. It makes me laugh when people say it's a bold reimagining of God of War because it's just a new skin on one of the same three games being made every year, complete with climbing, shuffling through crevices, and a touching narrative not seen since The Last of Us. Or Halo 3.

Should the tides of what is considered politically correct change, this review shall change as well

If you wanted video games to be seen as art, we needed more BioShock Infinites, and as someone who was, at the time, trying to transition to more serious criticism, this fit.

When the game came out, everything supported my initial reading. Reviews dropped, and everyone liked the game. Not only was it good, it seemed important.

Then, others weighed in. Specifically, people outside the establishment game reviewing cognoscenti, a small group of individuals who tend to review the “big” games, and thus set the tone for how a game is perceived and talked about. (I’m part of this, and have been for a long time.) As critics like Waypoint’s Austin Walker (“I Can See My House From Here: Bioshock Infinite, Nostalgia, and The Uncanny”), Anjin Anhut (“Infinite Privilege”), Gary Alexander (“Columbia: Problematic Racism Theme Park”), Leigh Alexander (“ BioShock Infinite: Now Is The Best Time”), and others published essays, my calculus changed. I’d taken so much of BioShock Infinite’s at face value, and mistook a game projecting as serious to mean it was also “right.”

[benjipwns]

I can’t believe you haven’t heard of Waypoint. It’s a huge gaming site.

Reading the post histories of some of the people in this thread specifically in reference to God of War has thus far consistently confirmed what I thought it would.

More and more I see that threads for articles by gaming publications are dominated by snarky replies questioning the premise of the article rather than actually engaging with its content and arguments.

I still like Bioshock Infinite. I agree that the gameplay was merely serviceable, but the story in that game made me think more than just about anything else I’ve ever played.

Nier Automata being right up there with it.

tl;dr = "I want to jump on the 10/10 hypewagon, but I also want to wait until "smart" reviewer weigh in to tell me how I should actually review this to be seen as smart too"

[shosta]

Not just any smart reviewer. The "cognoscenti".

Italian for 'smells their own farts'

[benjipwns]

I don’t know that I could consciously verbalize my own hierarchy of values, but there are certain critics I follow because I can understand theirs, and they help me fill in the blanks. I consider their voices vital to filling out my reaction.

If you talk to a bunch of reviewers, my guess is most have a policy of not talking to other people about how they feel about a game (or reading another critic’s review) before they’re done with their own. It’s the notion of being “tainted” or “biased” when you’re trying to settle on your own thoughts, and it’s driven so much of my own critical thinking because it’s what I was taught, observed, and practiced during my (too) many years doing this professionally. But it's also a practice that hasn't evolved much, even as the way we talk about games has.

What if that’s bullshit? Or, at least, what if we gave reviews less weight? Not because some aren’t true or well-argued—again, I liked God of War and my review reflects that—but reviews are nothing more than an opinion from a moment in time. It’s an introduction, not a conclusion, with reviews acting as the first wave of (usually mild and gameplay-focused) examination.

I get where klepek is coming from, I remember when the last of us first came out I thought it was a 10/10. Then after sitting on it longer and looking at it more closely, I felt it was more of a 9.7 if anything

damn, a whole .3 points.

IT GETS WORSE:

I agree a lot with the example of Bioshock Infinite.

That was a game that was number one with a bullet on my GOTY list that year and then I spent a lot of time thinking about it, analyzing it, and wondering if the game's ambition to be something was as good as actually being it. It finished at #10 for that year.
