Jaffe's idea isn't bad. But it does kind of assume that the only barrier to good journalism is money. I don't think all journalist are created equally and some of them are constantly positioning themselves for the next big thing. Of the journalist he listed, I would only think that Garnet Lee is the actual good one. The others are big names, but not anyone I would trust. #6
Tell you what, when you produce something on the level of Twisted Metal or God of War, than you can start saying that David Jaffe needs to get over himself. #1.2
I am glad that they are returning development back to Japan. The reality is that they where outsourcing their big games to shit Western developers. If they had outsourced those games to big time, good western developers it would have been great. Now that they are returning to in-house focused games maybe we can actually get some quality games. #11
Thank goodness for the 3ds, because that Wii was such a monumental failure. No one brought a Wii at all, no sir. Man alive, so glad for the 3ds. It's not like Nintendo could just sell a console based off of Mario games alone. No sir, so glad for that 3ds. #4
This game is simple, but it is pure fun. The patches just make the game more and more enjoyable. Everywhere you look there seems to be a lot of gaming journalist bad mouthing this game. Something tells me if the Defiance people had paid for some advertising with these oh so credible gaming sites the score would be a lot higher.
This game is pure fun and I love playing it. Not every game needs to be Bioshock Infinite. This is just a chill game to play by yourself or with a gro... #4
1 year for hacking into a major company and potentially stealing millions of users information. 5 years for going into a store and robbing 1 person, that seems real fair. #10
I guess all the teasers are in good fun, but seriously just reveal the project that will undoubtedly be bug ridden and best on PC because modders will fix the crap that Bethesda will never do. #2
The reality is that most gamers agree with you. If game journalist aren't respected by those who are most invested into gaming than they have no true credibility.
I may like certain personalities, but the fact that my opinion or the opinion of any other gamer is just as valid as a "game journalist" is exactly why they have no credibility. I have opinions on World news, but I would never think for a second that my opinion was as valid as a journalist that works f... #1.2
Good luck to her with the documentary. But I hope this turns into something real and more than just a propaganda push. It's great that she is presented the problem, but I hope she presents some solutions as well. #9
The situation does deserve attention. But people should be very careful where they invest their money. The thing is, at the end of the day how does this help solve the problem?
If you aren't lying to yourself than you know how much harassment women receive on xbox live, etc. So if we know the problem, the real question becomes how do we fix the problem. If this documentary goes into that than okay good, otherwise it is just a waste of time that is going to bring people do... #2.2.1
You know what, maybe you are right but it would have been fun. Also, since none of us where alive back than we can't say that with any certainty. It's not like all of a sudden one day Native Americans just decided that today they are going to start scalping people. I get what you are saying and obviously that's why they didn't do it.
Fun should never be sacrificed for sensitivity. Harpooning whales is really damn offensive to a lot of people, yet they error on... #3.1.1
Awesome, I am glad to see they are going to make a fun game and not one that is overly sensitive to stupid issues. AC3 could have been so much fun if you had the option to run around scalping people. Instead, they made AC3 into a game that was way to culturally sensitive and the game suffered greatly for it. #3
Considering it wouldn't sell 2 copies if it wasn't being published by Nintendo, since no one else wanted to publish it, I think we all should be happy that the game will be made at all. #1.5
Gaming Journalists or critics, on a whole, aren't trusted or respected by the people who play games the most. Whereas movie critics opinions are taken seriously by people who are deeply into movies. Which is why no current gaming journalist or critic is on or near the level of Roger Ebert. #4
In no way is Adam Sessler the Roger Ebert of gaming. Love or hate Roger Ebert he was a highly respected and credible person beyond just Movie entertainment. Adam is a personality that is liked, that doesn't put him on Ebert's level. #1.1
