In this Wall Street Journal review, we see the definition of old media (WSJ) trying to get hip to new forms of media (video game enthusiast press) with a sense of arrogance that completely fails to understand the latter's nuance.
Basically, this is evidence that anyone can be a game critic regardless of knowledge.
Fortnite fans are begging for the return of OG mode while using the player count as proof that fans are not happy with the game's direction.
It's been revealed that Helldivers 2 is Sony's fastest-selling game ever, beating the record previously set by god of War: Ragnarok.
It's not a first-party game though. Is it really too much to expect these low-rate websites to have the bare minimum of knowledge about the topic that they write about?
This reminds me of the hoops that some diehard Nintendo fans would go through to claim a game (like Bayonetta 2) is first-party just to say Nintendo is pumping out games.
It’s a second party title, like Ratchet and Clank prior to the purchase of Insomniac, or like Sly Cooper before the purchase of Sucker Punch, or like Dead Nation before the purchase of Housemarque, etc.
Just wondering if you don't consider Pokemon, Smash ultimate or Metroid Dread first party because Nintendo doesn't own the studios that made those games...
That's insane! Congratulations Arrowhead! Be good if Sony did buy them, they could work closely with Housmareque and they could both help each other with projects, that'd be good to see
The studio behind the popular Thief Simulator 2 has announced its next project, Crime Simulator, for PC and consoles.
Why do newspapers who invariably run stories along the lines of "videogames made my teenager stab the family cat and use his grandfathers face as a snare drum" bother to review games?
This guy really likes his CoD and Halo games. My god...
Guy probably doesn't even know what an rpg is. The Art style is obviously over his head.
just the fact that he had to go to wikipedia for research on the original tells me everything i need to know.
Editor to newsroom at WSJ: "Hey, anyone of you ever heard of videogames?"
The one dudebro says.."Yeah, me and my bros would play Call of"
Editor: "Write up on this game" Flips it to Dudebro WSJ.
And thats how it happened.
