Times have been hard for Wii U owners. It can be disheartening seeing your new console struggle in the charts and receive a constant flow of “Wii U is doomed” articles. Perhaps the most frustrating part of being an early adopter of a Wii U is the game droughts. The year so far has been dry to the bones. Game releases have been few and far between. Sure we got Lego City: Undercover, Injustice: God’s Among, Need for Speed: Most Wanted U and Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate, but that isn’t enough. At least, not enough to satisfy my appetite for games.
Game reviews have been around since the mid-1970s. Play Meter was the first of its kind. During their time, it was mainly coin-operated machines that were covered, as certain arcade games that many of us consider classics such as Space Invaders were popular. Other publications sprang up, such as Arcade Alley in 1979. From then on, gaming journalism was on the rise. Electronic Games Magazine, Famitsu, The Games Machine, Nintendo Power, and others all gave way to gaming journalism’s growing popularity and importance. In the beginning, gaming journalism was about the love of the games, the history of the product, and giving potential consumers genuine insight. The passion was there. The commitment was there. The insight was there. And most importantly, the trust was there.
They've become nothing more than corporate shills. Rather than speaking truth to power, they're just looking at the latest clickbait no matter how false it is.
The straight up lies are annoying. Then journalists claim that a lie is an opinion. Um... no.
yea its been like this for years and only has gotten worse during covid.
they are sometimes worse than celeb. trash news ha.
"you will NOT believe what the DEV of XYZ said"
or and those are my favourites,
"XYZ game gets REMASTER TREATMENT" and you click on the link and its just a god damn mod ha.
"XYZ Players are saying THIS about the new update!"
And the article is based on a single tweet from someone with an anime profile image
The gaming landscape today is full of corporations trying to suck as much money out of us as possible while giving us as little as possible in return that's the biggest problem I see right now and the fact the journos should be the ones calling the gross practices out now suckle at the teat of the publishers to stay in favour and maintain working relationships to avoid being blacklisted for reviews and preview events show their interests do not align with ours.
Hey Chris, not sure if others have already suggested but here’s another idea for N4G, a website trust meter.
There used to be a way to click on the website of an article and downvote or something like that.
It can be like Steam’s rating, all time & recent.
Then the list of journalism website ratings accessible from a subdomain, jowebrat.n4g dot com :)
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Sadly, F-Zero: GP Legend did not become the commercial hit Nintendo was expecting, at least in the West. The game came and went, just like its anime counterpart. It was the last hoorah for the franchise in the States, if you don’t count F-Zero 99, that is. It wasn’t a bad game per se, but it felt like a setback after the excellent Maximum Velocity or F-Zero GX. As a result, it probably did not sell that well, Nintendo saw it as a sign that Westerners weren’t into F-Zero, and we’ve been living in this hellish drought of antigrav races featuring bird-named racers ever since. Twenty years later, it clearly doesn’t hold up very well, with a lot of people barely remembering its existence, unlike F-Zero GX."
Approaching the Borderlands series for the first time can be a bit confusing, but with this guide, new players can enjoy the series in the proper order.
A article that's wants to teach me survival skills, i'll pass. I do just fine with my games, thank you very much. A very stupid article indeed.
Pikmin 3 launches this month in Europe and hopefully Wii U starts to pick up on sales little by little. Next month it's TW101, and then the system is going to get good games at a steady pace from that point on.
I'll hopefully get it by the end of this year.
Seems like I'm playing as many WiiU games as actual WiiU owners. I don't own a WiiU.
Love my wiiu play black ops all the time and get joke off all the french...graphics spank 360 as well...
