[theafroman]

let the hating commence...lol

[deadreckoning666]

I'm not gunna hate..but I didn't really like the show this week. Its probably because the VGAs aren't of that much importance to me. But if u ARE interested in what goes on behind the scenes at the VGAs, Hiphop had great coverage.

"HHG is the scum of the gaming industry."

Goodfella, I hope u get those problems in ur life sorted out. If you have to hate on someone to that extent, u must be dealing with MANY of ur own issues.

[theafroman]

no idea were you think im having problems lol.just every time i visit n4g to see the comments way too much hate.

[Nitrowolf2]

@theafroman

He's not talking about you he's talking about
Goodfella2487 Report

[pixelsword]

I love the

"I hate HHG, but I'm here every week" people.

Get fooled into watching his show every week like you have been for the past few years, willya?

[TheREAL-HyDRo1x]

I didn't finish seeing this trash but it like how he's still bringing up games from other developers in the conversations he has with other developers i.e. Talking about Black Ops to Bioware! Thats Gangsta...

[Mr Tretton]

pixelsword. none of us haters actually watch it. Now, anyway. We know better.

[JohnnyBadfinger]

Mass Effect 2 already has timed decisions.. they are called Paragon and Renegade actions...

Try and keep up HHG... you seem to be laggin behind alot more than you already were.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

What happened to the interview with Hermen and Killzone 3?
1hr and 7 mins.

Someone edited the video wrong.

[Persistantthug]

that keep coming back week after week after week, pretending they got fooled into coming here, which then compels them to post.

The reason I like HHG is because he is inspiring.

He's just a regular guy that started from meager beginnings. But he refused to be stopped and now look at him......EVERYONE knows who he is.

Even Corp. execs like Major Nelson, Arron Greenburg, and Jack Tretton know who HIPHOPGAMER is now.

Hate or dislike HHG all you want....it doesn't seem to matter at this point.

[Clarence]

I agree well said. I don't know why people choose to hate on him so much. He's doing something positive with himself. How can you hate on that.

[distorted_reality]

@ Clarence - I'm pretty sure Hitler felt he was doing something positive with himself. How can you hate on that?

[pixelsword]

Your name fits you, distorted.

[blackblades]

Only thing I can say is that they're races.

[Mr Tretton]

mike, which 'races'? hahahaha

Fucking retard playing the race card.

I hate HHG because he's a fucking idiot. I like N'Gai Croal, a chocolately dark, dread headed black man, because he's isn't. He's smart and clearly educated.

Stupid race card idiots.

[04soldier]

bubs up Persistence well said...

@ distorted reality How you gonna compare the man to Hitler?? You're being a true hater.

Some of you peeps on here got some serious issues that you need to deal with before judging what someone does or doesn't do...

[theafroman]

but seriously loving the show

[BeAGamer]

do you have low standards?

[Nitrowolf2]

I really hope that we get to see the Helghast life/perspective. That could really give a shooter some more feel to it and could seriously add a lot to the story. IDK it was one of my favorite part in Uncharted 2 after the train part when your in the village. I mean, i think we need to understand what the Helghast are truly fighting for, we need to see through their eyes. It's like one of those thing where they make you hate them (i don't, they kickass) but then when you see what they are going through it could flip opinions. idk for me this might make shooters more story driven/emotional.

That's something i think most shooters are missing or fail to do is make that emotional effect that makes player think that this game is more then just another shooter.

[NYC_Gamer]

nice vga behind the scenes coverage

[JasonW1972]

The title is misleading. In the video, BioWare never says that Alpha Protocol was an influence. HHG mentions that awful game right before he asked his question.

[vickers500]

"The title is misleading"

Did you honestly expect it not to be? This is HipHopGamer after all.

[JasonW1972]

I know, but it's still bothersome. He was shilling for Alpha Protocol before its release and said it would be better than Mass Effect. He would often point to the lack of timed conversations in the Mass Effect series as some sort of huge defect. This title is his way of attempting to show he was right about something, when he clearly was wrong.

As for the multi-player part of the title, the BioWare guys didn't answer the question, but I could see why someone would walk away possibly thinking this feature would be in Mass Effect 3. Still, if you are reporting news, saying that "multiplayer should be next" doesn't even make sense.

[BeOneWithTheGun]

@JasonW1971

And that is why he gets hate. I don't spew forth insults and whatnot, but I do despise misleading titles to get hits. My remedy? I don't click on them.

[jack_burt0n]

That was pretty good HHG looked like you had fun at the VGAs.

[MGRogue2017]

I hate the HipHopGamer show.. it fucking sucks man.. =/

If I try to watch it, I get a headache.. so I stay away from it for good now. I maybe look at the title.. but watch the video? hell no.

[blackblades]

Why you posting here then, if you hate it so much don't even post at all.

[xtremexx]

You must admit when he strikes gold he hits it hard, when he doesnt he gets hated on badly

[BYE]

Nice, gonna watch it right now. The Hip Hop Gamer Show is a quality show with lots of good interviews.

[alexi_666]

too obvious man. lol

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Get rid of that belt.

[Mr Tretton]

THere are a lot of things he needs to get rid of.

[CrzyFooL]

Fucking A. The DSS was the best part of Alpha Protocol. Even if that franchise dies the conversation system was revolutionary and should be implemented in other games.

[distorted_reality]

Lol @ the people laughing at hhg.

I'd be more inclined to enjoy this without the wannabe kid at the start and all the posing between that and the interview.

Nothing really new from the interview - nothing that we didn't hear days ago.

Oh wells.

[distorted_reality]

omg more of that kid.

"What happened to real hip-hop?"

People like HHG fucked it all up.

[9thGenHero]

why are you a hatin mother fucker? you say you can't be bothered, but obviously your bothered by HHG, so you're contradicting yourself. "Anyone can be a gaming journalist?" You know what, alot of these gaming journalists don't talk on camera, or even speak, they write. Gerard is all about the camera and asked his questions better than most of those other journalists. You are a high-expectation havin' mother fucker. Is this attention the highlight of your busy ass day, good grief, I don't wish any bad on you, but you need to get off the medication because it's messing with your brain.

[distorted_reality]

I said I can't be bothered being a journalist - I didn't say I couldn't be bothered being a reader of, and a commenter on said journalism.

Journalism is about asking the right questions to get answers - it doesn't matter if the questions are posed in front of a camera or by a written letter. That doesn't change the quality of the question, or the importance of the answer.

If HHG's whole thing is "all about the camera", then he should pay more attention to it. The audio in just about every video he posts is absolutely terrible, the editing is sub-par to say the least, and he frequently goes off on random tangents instead of sticking to the story. Some may find this charming - I find it annoying.

High expectations? My expectations for journalists is that they report what they see without embellishment, without over dramatizing it, without bloating their articles (or in this case, their videos) with meaningless off topic shit that serves no purpose, and to have a decent grasp of the language that they're reporting in.

A hater? Of bad journalism? Yes, you could say that. I'm also a hater of shit wasting my time. Being a big fan of the Mass Effect series, I saw the title of the article and thought i'd check it out, expecting that maybe the article expanded on stuff we heard a week ago. From the title I also knew it was from HHG, but my fanboi outweighed my dislike.

Lo and behold, I had to sit through two minutes of drivel before I got to the news, and the news was over a week old in the first place. It's this sort of laziness that annoys me in journalism (and most other professions tbh) - and I don't see any reason why I shouldn't comment on what I felt about the article as I do with every other article that catches my eye.

[9thGenHero]

Well well, had to bust out with the English skills eh? I won't argue with you anymore you put up some decent points without any foul name calling or low blows, I don't like that you sound like a hater, but it is what it is, can't please everyone, movin' along...

[Bolts]

HHG commenting about his Tekken matchup.

"He has a 46" 120hz, I have a 52" 240 hz. So we know who's gonna win"

LMAO!!

[RedGr3mlin]

This guy NEED to be taken off the net ffs.

Tell me you that disagree:

WHAT does this guy gives you in regard off GAMING NEWS THAT YOU CANT READ ON THE NET?

WHAT does this guy SAY that make you go so aww thats the truth!
Tell me what?

WHAT IN THE HELL do you think is so COOL about this guy?
Isit that he DARE to make his own show?

FFS he his standing in his basment / room half of the time talking shit and giving failed reviews.

ok, he goes to gaming places and record and ask questions to ppl that make games, but IF YOU EVER go to a gaming place like E3.

YOU WILL ALL have the chance to talk and ask question to them.
FFS you dont need to be some VIP to do that.

And to the guy in the vid ( no i dont care about your name)
Stop acting like a rapstar with the game devs , they laphing AT you not with you you stupid F**

[Persistantthug]

Edit in: @ distorted_reality

When can I expect to see your first industry interview?

Let me know, so I can support your vid(s). :)

[distorted_reality]

Lets face facts - anyone can be a game journalist. You just have to look at the questions delivered to the Bioware guys and the way they were delivered (hhg included in this).

If that's not enough to convince you, look at some of the shit that is posted here. Many gamers could do a better job than these so-called journalists, it's just a shame that none of us can be bothered.

@pers - As I said, I can't be bothered. And I don't see the point in regurgitating Q/A's that every other "journalist" has put on the net. News isn't news if it's old.

[iceman06]

@distorted_reality

Not anyone can be a journalist in the games industry. It DOES take some passion and motivation to get out there and make connections so that you can get more personal interviews. Journalism is NOT just about asking the right questions, it's about perspective. This is the SINGLE reason why print journalism and TV news is struggling against the internet. I agree that it shouldn't be the case. But in today's world, the average person (especially younger people) cannot just ingest pure news. There has to be some form of entertainment value to it. Thus, you have the Steven Colbert's and John Stewart's providing "news" and getting much higher ratings than news outlets. Let's stop pretending that HHG does NOTHING. This is a side job that he is trying passionately to turn into his career. He doesn't have a production team, sound engineers, make-up crew, or research assistants. It's just a handheld cam and a mic. If anything, that style of "journalism" goes back to the roots of news hounds with a pen and a pad and a tape recorder.
Sure, he needs work...but don't we all. He is getting valuable on the job training as we speak. Most journalism students would DIE for an interview with the people that they admire the most...or even hate the most. The thing is, HHG gets those very interviews on a regular basis.

[9thGenHero]

I disagree with your entire statement. The thing is, you are putting him BELOW other mainstream sites. What does he give in regards to gaming news? He gives not just news, but also insight, exclusive interviews, freestyles, and character that you can WATCH, and HEAR, not just READ, as you eloquently stated. Not every journalist can do this. The ones that do present news on camera, outside of the beautiful females and handful of pros like Sessler and Keighley, truthfully don't have the same level of energy that HHG does.

Try doing what he does. It's more work than you realize and there's alot that goes on in terms of planning, organizing, video editing, and so much more. To realize how he started and where he is today is inspiring, and if you don't understand that, well then maybe you haven't worked hard for anything in life yet.

If I was as critical as you are of Gerard, I would tell you that you can't spell for shit, you have too many errors in your grammar, and your comments and contributions shouldn't be on this forum, period. However, I won't tell you that, because I'm not you. Keep enjoying the Hip Hop Gamer Show, and have a nice day.

[Peppino7]

Agreed. Bubble

[04soldier]

bubs up...

[RockmanII7]

After everything that's happened this past week I'm done doubting HHG stories. Yea they don't confirm anything but now with the Kratos thing and the Gears 3 beta thing both being right that proves he has to have some sort of inside knowledge and that is enough for me to start believing him.

[unknownhero1123]

after the fact that kratos has been confirmed for MK9 as a ps3 exclusive, he's earned some credibility in my book.

anyways, i hope ME3 won't have timed decisions because I really hated it in alpha protocol. I don't like to rush a conversation.

[PSjesus]

Timed decision appeared in many Jrpgs and visual novels,Sakura wars
on PS2/Wii was one of them(Great game every one should try it)

[CharlesDCI]

With all the energy a lot of you guys spend on hating, you could be playing games and enjoying them. I know HHG is, so take a page from his book at least.

[Darth Stewie]

Yeah HHG Show keep up the good work Hip HOP Gamer.

[M]

My sincerest condolences for your loss.

Great show.

[iceman06]

I will give you Bubs up for just being human. The man lost the most important person in his life this year, in Hip Hop Granny. Yet, he kept putting out content...just for US gamers. Like him or hate him. You have to respect that. Thank you for proving that not everyone in this cold world is soulless.

[rlm41]

Yep just lost one of my good mates yesterday at a party for no obvious reason. He was drinking responsibly and playing pool and just collapsed. Don't know why yet :(

Shows you can go anytime, we are all human.

Respect to HHG.

[iceman06]

My sincerest condolences to you rim41 and others that have lost anyone during this year. Sometimes I think it is so easy to get caught up in the everyday BS and we lose perspective on things. Nobody is promised tomorrow.

[mobijoker]

Great news.AP's dialogue system was most innovative last year.Good to see Bioware taking strong points from obsidian.Lets hope they tutor obsidian to make AP2 bcoz such a great concept can't just go away.Just drive the bugs away and take ME2 game engine.Whoa,we get an epic spy thriller.
