Kevin McCullough defends his blog postings on air fielding phone calls from upset gamers over his misrepresentation of Mass Effect's sexual content and gameplay.
The discussion starts right from the get-go.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
I believe one of the best moments from this podcast is when a caller is questioned about purchasing video games for minors.
"If you find a 15-year-old with a 6-pack of beer you don't go blaming Budweiser."
Followed by 5 seconds of silence.
Burned.
Trying to help society become a better place? Ninja please, he's trying to get hits to his site and radio show and fame by resorting to sensationalism. It's an age old tale and I'm not being fooled by his "noble" causes here. People writing half assed articles about stuff they truly don't know of? Yeah that's new.
Woo M rated = it's for 15 year olds. The 17 and up on the box be damned. Like most of the "crusaders" for kids, he's shirking parental control off on the game industry. He SAYS he controls the content for his kids, but I'm doubting that commitment to sparkle motion. His own son snuck one in under his radar, how is that the game developer's fault? He's asking how it got into the hands of 15 year olds, hell how'd you let your damn son get it?
I wish I had known this was airing, because I would have called and reamed that guy.
but I've already got a bit of a headache. His arguments have little basis in reality anyway, and the only thing he proves is how quickly an idiot with a keyboard can generate hits on his website.
Wow, the dude got his butt handed to him. XD I dont care what anyone says, Ignorance is not bliss.
Wow I never knew how wonderful Xbox was before. I will buy 1 for me, and all the kids in my family now so they can experience pure heaven.
(Actually would like an xbox)
