Tips For Playing Ghost Of Tsushima

As Jin Sakai, one of Tsushima’s last surviving samurai, you’re singularly tasked with the goal of repelling an entire Mongol fleet. No sweat, right?

Why would I give clicks to or want tips from a website that didn't think much of this game?

[Belbrock91]

Because gaming websites have multiple writers, with different personalities and different tastes. Just because the review on the site was negative does not mean every writer for the site hated the game

[morganfell]

Doesn’t matter. This site should have an editorial process and policy to prevent that instead of allowing writers to push out unsupported personal views then when the damage is done come crawling back begging for a click. This isn’t Aunt May’s writing and knitting group. This is supposedly a major game news site. When they act like it and demonstrate some professionalism things might change.

Oh my.. well.. my apologies. Apparently you are an expert on the subject and run the most professional site on the web. What was it called again?

Besides, it's not like the writer is throwing out praise for the game and breaking the website bro-code or whatever. It's Tips and Tricks. It's content. Or would you prefer they just ignore one of the biggest releases of the year because the site didn't like the game? Would that not be even more unprofessional?

I do not have to be a manure salesman to know BS when I smell it. Editorial policies do not require expertise to recognize whether or not they exist. A site either has these or else they are just a hub of individuals spewing out their thoughts without consequence. And that responsibility of the press is to the readers, not to themselves and their own delusions of importance. And there should be repercussions for immoderation. Gamepsot is another site that has forgotten this little fact.

@morganfell So what? So what if a site wants to "spew" individual theories? So what if it doesn't meet your exacting standards? It's 2020. It's the internet. Both are DEFINED by individual thought and expression. There is no reason to take that out on the author - who, if you'd even bothered to read the article - provides some great tips.

Clearly you take issue with the running of these sites. You should send your grievances to them directly instead of hiding in a comment section on a third-party site

[morganfell]

No one is hiding. This has been my stance since I have been here. And you act as if no one, including me has ever contacted them...repeatedly. It does not good. Cutting into their revenue is the only thing they understand.

And so what? Gaming is a hobby I love and these self interested self promoting imbeciles are damaging that hobby. Ever play a great game that got a sequel that was nothing like the original or no sequel at all? It isn't always the sales. In addition it is developers having to pay attention to review scores in order to gain a bonus so they end up building a title for reviewers rather than the mainstream gaming crowd. And look who is paying attention to what someone said on the internet. So thought and expression are only for game sites? Hypocrite much?

[CorndogBurglar]

I don't agree with any of this. Just because they didn't think highly of the game doesn't mean they should stop writing all forms of articles for it. Its a video game website. They know they have people visiting the site that liked the game. Why would they want those people to go elsewhere for tips on this game?

Its like owning a grocery store. I doubt the owners like all the food they sell, but they have customers to serve. It would be completely unprofessional to not carry certain foods because YOU don't like them, knowing full well you have customers that do.

This is no different.
