They forgot to add one that had a woman fucking people for good reviews.
Ah yes, the gaming holocaust, they are still writing articles about it to this day.
Why are (videogame) critics even a thing? "Oh, this person works as a 'journalist', therefore I should care about their opinion".
I agree completely - I kind of wish I had at some point been a consumer of their horse shit, so I could have withdrawn my support back in the GG days.
from nes to n64, games journalism was great. it was all love for gaming, detailed walkthroughs, tips. the one I read, Tips&Tricks mag, had a funny trash talk section for disses. If a game was bad they had legit concerns with the gameplay.
went solidly downhill afterwards and turned into a pc hellhole of worthless opinions from useless people who bitch about games being too hard, bitch about there being attractive characters, bitch about simulated violence in games. pc culture ruins everything good.
The good old magazine days oh god how i miss them. And the demos!
The only skill critics must have is to be well versed in use of complicated words in writing.
Not really. Have you not seen how very nearly illiterate some of them are, while they try to sound smugly superior? It's almost funny.
I quit reading critics years ago. Anyway, they used to be quite articulate in spouting their bullshit.
Great comic but icing on the cake would be to add a cell saying "Gaming in the 80's" and show a group around someone playing an arcade game like TRON saying "That Game is Incredible"...
i think it would be better to say something like "look how many pixels there are!"
I guess I was going for the notion that at one time Video games was actually a semi-social thing where an occupied game where people had to set their quarters to reserve the next spot often determined a games popularity. Now it's one person pontificating (usually based on who send them convention invites/free games) how good a game is...
Plus they were also about gameplay rather than distracting people with fancy pixels.
yah but even then it would be "damn, look at this kids high score he's amazing" fuck thats way better than my previous thought
I guess POAL is suffering an onslought of plebbitors, so faggy soy cartoons like this one are inevitable I suppose.
Who shops at EB Games in 2020s?
punching women is ok
Especially when they're actually dudes.
My opinion is the opposite of that. Actual women need to get punched in the face more often.
Of course.
Percussive maintenance!
"Video games are stupid, of course " - games journalism
This is so true it hurts. I am glad the industry gets no more money from me.
What game is getting called treasonous?
I have no idea. Sorry.
Oh shit, those comics still exist and aren't trash? OP, link to the website.
Being a gamer used to be one of those niche things that was seen as "nerdy".
These days the retarded left have infiltrated and destroyed any semblance of it by being attention whoring trash.
