GamerGate and the games journalism PR spin was quite literally the test run of all mainstream media's efforts to lie and gaslight the public. Just two years after that, they successfully did it to virtue shield Ghostbusters 2016. And ever since then, everything has been "You just don't like this shitty product cause you're an istaphobe!"
@@DeepStone-6 Aye. After that joke the entire game journo industry wanted his head. Miller and the rest of the Kinda Funny people then released a public statement saying that Colin was wrong. It was absurd. Honestly, the whole thing was more of a hit piece then anything imo. I don't think they really cared about the joke. I think they just wanted Colin out of industry and this was the excuse they used. He was always openly conservative in an industry with VERY few people that are and as wokeness started to amp up post GG his existence was simply no longer acceptable in that industry. So he had to go. Typical of the tolerant left.
If i were a games journalist I'd likely get in too much shit with twitter (insert your favorite slur here)s . Do you know how refreshing it'd be to have a games journalist just actually tell you "Hey yeah this game is fine but you can tell theyre pandering here and there" and thats it? Its always gotta be some fuckin bullshit or crying
"Dont ya get it ya have to do better because pokimane told me this after i donated 1000 dollars to her twitch stream so i need to be better" people who utter the words do or be better are usually losers who nevee contributes to anything in their life
Whenever I've heard someone lecturing others "to be better," it is usually because they are a complete narcissist who thinks they're perfect. Still, everybody else points out how terrible they are, so they have put others down and shame them. They're not fooling anyone.
you know... after finishing the original Marvel's Spiderman I can with full confidence say that the cancer started in that game if you were paying any attention to the dynamics of it and how Peter was being treated by MJ and the other ALL Female leads who assisted him in the game... it was just subtle and not heavy handed but you did see it coming from that game...
It was also a major eye opener for the modding community. The same people who would remove every crucifix in NY and not blink an eye absolutely sperged the fuck out over the flag removal mod. There's no "live and let live" anymore, they're going to get at the kids and there's no objecting to it.
Yea They Treated Him Badly With Girl Power And He The Only Man He Teams Up With Is Black And He Dies (Ik Im Reaching For The Stars Rn But Lemme Cook) It's Very Odd For This To Happen But If You Wanna Subtly Check All Your Boxes This Is How You Do It Now I Haven't Played The Second One Yet And I Am But I Wanna See If They Keep Cucking Peter With His Black Air Force Suit While Miles Is The Level Headed Upstanding Hero That Keeps Everything Under Control And Become The New One And Only Spider-Man
@@IcE-_-Kidd oh no you're not reaching whatsoever... you are right on the money and i'll add to the miles's father part and say what little sense it made to have the kid NOT have his dads last name?? there's meaning behind that but they went out of their way to choose to make the kid as generic as possible... anyway, i'm done with that game and never plan on getting any of the other ones when they come to pc......
$$$ they gotta be pinching them pennies, can't pay someone to search out vulnerabilities, "that would be a waste!" It's very satisfying when a leak happens though, and a Billion dollar company proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that they cannot and should not be trusted with the private, personal information that (nearly) the entire industry is demanding players give to them so they can quantify the influence they hold over players (if we can't track them playing with 24/7 online requirements, then what's the point?!?!" -Real Studio Executives. When Epic got hacked and everyone got their Credit Card info stolen, that was like a dream come true, as they were acting terrible on the PC platform. They destroyed games holding them hostage to get people to jump to their terrible, bloated launcher-Store, and then everyone that did got their information stolen, a storybook ending... (Look at me, Look at me, We are da journalists now)
Cyber security is actually a MASSIVE threat globally. It is projected to eat up 20 trillion dollars by 2026 globally. That's an entire USA. Its about 8.5% of the world economy was stolen by cyber criminals for 2022. Its a HUGE issue for all companies.
I used to work for a branch of Nintendo and for a time they had an 'air gap' between the computers that could work on the software and art they were making for games and the ones that connected to the Internet. Which is to say that they were completely different systems so it wasn't even POSSIBLE to hack through one to the other. But over time the president decided to completely eliminate that gap because he wanted people to work from home. I kept trying to tell him how this completely exposed him to all manner of problems... not only from hackers into the company system but anyone who hacked any other computer that now could connect to the company system, but he quite simply didn't care. "Who would hack us?" he kept saying. What a fool. So basically that's your answer: lazy people who are willing to compromise and completely ignore risks and disregard advice.
That's what I'm saying. If experian,one of the three MAJOR credit bureau, got into hack multiple times. One way was by going to their website in another language and basically clicking in the corner of the screen thst would pull up a back door with a ton of peoples personal info. No fire wall, no security code. They don't care. If they did they would actually care about there employees they would have payed the ransom and protected there info, or I dunno, maybe use the money they made from all these successful games and up there sercuirty....there a major 3rd party now and should secure themselves like one.
I used to get my game news from game journalism before I discovered youtube. You can get so much more from just watching stuff for yourself on RUclips than listening to someone's biased opinion in their article
Agreed. I was an IGN fanboy during the first decade of the 2000's. I can't imagine caring about their opinion ever again. There's no reason to look anywhere else other than indie youtubers for gaming info.
@@bliptripmusic Because back in the day _game journalists_ were just nerds that liked to talk about their hobby, nowadays they are either failed journalists or wanna-be journalists that couldn't get their foot in the door of an actual journalistic job and had to settle for this. They not only don't care for games, they hate them. As for people claiming that _youtubers don't have biases_ they have, but they don't label themselves as journalists unlike Greg Miller here and one of the requirements to be a real journalist is *impartial bias* which he totally demonstrates by sharing Capcom and Rocktar leaks but not Insomniac because he's a Sony fanboy. Gaming journalism is a circus.
@@samellowery women we're doing a day of silence to prove how much they do, the usual self pitying idiocy by western feminists and colin said ahh peace and quiet at last. It shows how thin skinned Miller is.
I didn't realise that being a gamer meant I was recruited or had responsibilities. I literally just wanted to be left alone to game, but you won't leave me alone, will you?
They want to destroy or manipulate every aspect of the white mans life You don’t see them talking like this in China or any part of Africa!!!! Only European nations they push their evil agenda
"Everything is political." "Everything is ist or phobic." "Silence is violence." Trust me, friend, they're not interested in leaving you alone. They never have been.
Honestly. Everytime Miller jerks himself off about being better in the community, can't help but think of the hypocrisy and audacity to backstab a friend and still think yourself as a good person and above others. Kinda funny best friend my ass🤮
Also Colin: "Kinda funny is failing, Greg is a soulless sellout, and journalists only praise games for access " Sad Colin: "Why won't Greg talk to me. He should answer my messages. Why do journalists not want to come on my show. Why don't I get sent free games codes."
@@jtodd4250That's a misrepresentation. Colin is open to having just about anyone on his show. He's very chill and doesn't whine about it. And he's never asked for free game codes.
@@3Overhaus I've listen to his show for years and he definitely whines a lot. He constantly, for years now, brings up that he pays for his games because studios want nothing to do with him. He's happy to shit talk journos but is thin skinned to any criticism of his work. He's not on the levels of pity part like boogie but close to it.
Theory; the reason MJ looks like one of the employees and was given such a push for gameplay is because Mr.IKnowThePlayersDidntLikeTheseMissions is simping for his coworker. Perhaps having relations. Unfortunate I could even come up with such a theory, but nothing should surprise us these days.
Visibly seeing the negative amount of testosterone on any image of Bryan Intihar and I guarantee you this is literally the only way he could get a woman and that he'll probably be Bobby Kotick'ed in a year or two.
People keep forgetting that Soyny was already slowly getting corrupt even before relocating their Gheystation HQ to Commiefornia. Remember when Microshaft took all the heat for the always-online DRM that they were originally going to implement in the Xbox One? Soyny was originally going to do the same with the PS4 until they saw Microshaft took all the backlash for it first so they all(both Microshaft and Soyny) immediately backpedaled on the DRM BS. Both consoles(PS4 and Xbox One) have launched years before Soyny relocated their Gheystation HQ to Commiefornia.
They’re game ‘urinalists’, because all they do is take a massive piss on gamers, and ruin the industry. Games have gotten easier, and storylines lobotomized all to please these propagandists.
It's funny how Gamergate was put in the media was just another way of hating women, while it was always about biased and preferential treatment of gamesjourno's. We're back at the stage where bias is still there.
gamergate was at the same time as females being pushed onto the male dominated nerd culture. criticism of things related to females was always a part of gamergate. whether it be forced mary sues or de-sexualization/censorship. it wasn't sexism or hating on women but it was framed that way by journos
I think it kicked off because of Zoe Quinn driving one of her exes to suicide. Not entirely sure it was Zoe Quinn. Ah anyways, it's not relevent today.
@@rorrim0 No thats incorrect. She did do that, but that happened years after GG. It kicked off after one of her exes outed her for abuse, and was called a misogynist for it. Then she gets all the games journos she sucked off to defend her, and people see right through it. So then as well as the og bf, they now have to call fully half or more of gamers misogynists too. Years later and she has now accused pretty much every ex of abuse and chucked them under the bus for a bit more spotlight time.
During my university times between 2005 and 10 my dream was to become a gaming journalist. Then life happened to me, priorities shifted, and by the time I got back in the loop, around 2014-15, I was disgusted with what "gaming journalism" had become. It's a bunch of shills, cretins, literal mouthbreathers, and plain scumbags. In the immortal words of the internet: lmaoing hard @ game urinalism.
I mean no offense but becoming a gaming journo is one of those dreams that like..every gaming nerd trying to deny the onset of adulthood has. You sit around getting lost in imaginary worlds, then you get online and talk in communities about it.. happily typing up small books worth of opinions about your favorite games. So many gamers already do the exact same thing journos do but they do it for free and with no audience. Gaming journalism offers a way to solve the adult problems facing you without changing priorities at all. There's a reason most ppl who do it are overgrown kids with no life experience.

@@dogbot55 but the people that post comment on those videos already know this. He posts it on here so people who didn’t know this would see how awful our leaders are. It’s more important to post these types of posts on channels that aren’t inherently political.
To be fair AI is actually more competent than modern day writers. They should be sacred because even they know ChatGPT is leagues better than every single one of their worthless asses.
Honestly I play Spider-Man games for SPIDERMAN. Not the side character fucking it all up. I played the first Spider-Man game on PS4. Loved it until it said "Oh you're playing as MJ now, you gotta be stealthfy." I dropped it. I beat it, but I won't be dropping anymore money on the franchise. Keep side characters as side characters. They're there to make the main character look good, to keep them grounded & relatable. The legendary side characters are the ones who snap a damn idiot back to reality. Unrelated note: was anyone else annoyed at the first Horizon Zero Dawn or is it just me? Like I spent the entire game just mildly irratated. Something was wrong. Maybe it just felt hollow to me.
@@howard5755yeah the agenda was heavy in that game. Which is a huge disservice. You're a caveman hunting robot dinos that game should've been more popular.
Outside of bundles, there's no way I'm paying $80+. I'd either wait for a major discount, get it cheaper preowned, sail the high seas, or just not bother. Probably the last one, given my backlog is big enough already.
‘There’s no secret agenda in the writing team!’ ~ Turns out the writing has been outsourced to an entirely agenda based company to write your whole game.
It’s funny we’re approaching the 10 year anniversary of gamergate. The original issue was that a developer was sleeping around to get favorable scores on her shitty Web app game. These journalists might not be as brazen with fucking, but they’re doing the same exact thing with these larger studios. They’re essentially just pay whores. I rarely trust anything they say when they review something I always go to RUclips for reviews. Also, I find it funny that Microsoft leaks were widely reported upon earlier this year but now there’s some type of ethical issue with this. I have been trying to avoid spoilers about the Wolverine game. I understand that these companies need to profit but maybe they should cut down development costs there’s no reason why any game should cost $400 million. Maybe grand theft auto would be the exception, considering that’s a game of 5 to 7 years of development time. AAStudios are able to make games that are better on a shoestring budget. Maybe they should pair down the team sizes so then they could make more games and make them on a smaller budget. The original halo was made on a 40 person development team. I’m going to bet 343 has over 200 people working on halo now. I’m not saying to fire devs, but the AAA developers need to re-organize and rethink how they’re going to do things.
Sweet Baby Inc is a symptom, not the problem. The fact that there are companies providing consulting on how to be woke to other companies should be the thing worrying you.
@@taagsgenerally good advice, but you could miss great games. GoWR was pretty good besides the game backseating you 2 seconds into a puzzle and Angrboda in general, you can basically smell the stench of Sweet Baby on those.
I really can't think of a single game that's worth the $80 price tag, it's an absolute joke. They're more concerned with turning a profit on a half finished game than having any sort of integrity for their product.
Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate 3, God of War, there are enough games worth the price for the effort they put in and the result of the product. Pretending as if every game is like the new CoD is doing more harm to the industry, because you discourage those who are doing good.
@gehtdichnichtsan2418 Elden Ring and the latest GOW are the most overrated heap of garbage recently. Keep consuming mediocre cobtebt to appease the poor multi million dollar companies.
Remember when Tears of the Kingdom leaked and all these game journos immediately jumped in to report on it? If it's Nintendo or Xbox, they happily report it, but when it's their Overlord Sony, they refuse.
I'm confused so like did someone (not from Nintendo) leak tears of the kingdom? Also are they not leaking sony publish titles becuase they Hate them, or are they a slave too them becuase they want to.
That shirtless spider-man bit was my first and hopefully last time hearing about it. Greg Miller comes off as a guy who doesnt care about Sony shuttering off it's game developers in Japan for being able to easily suck the teat of American companies like Insomniac.
1:01 I'm sorry, but was that post from 4Chan about Wolverine crafting med kits true? Is a game about the Wolverine, whose other main power aside from adamantium claws is *regenerative healing,* going to have him craft med kits for healing? Holy f-cking sh-t, have these people ever read a single comic in their life?! How in the actual f-ck do you not realize that the Wolverine's healing factor can allow him to simply regenerate his health over time? That's all the people behind the game would have to implement, and it'd save them a bit of work because then he wouldn't need the animations to do so!
Like I can understand if it's part of a story where he loses his powers ish, but like that unquie story moment should be about his mental of his human side, and his concept of what living is,etc.
Well they probably make you play 60% of the game as Kitty or something and the med kits are for her. Very bold of you to believe that you'll be playing as Wolverine in an Insomniac Wolverine game.. 😅
After the first spider-man game, I was all "Can't wait to see what is next". After seeing the trailer for MSM2, I was hyped. After playing MSM2, I went back to the first one and had more fun playing that one.
@@tradix-9882yea idk what everyone’s gripes are with some of the voices made in SM2 I personally enjoy the first one better because the writing, but I don’t feel as if they shoehorned in as much politics as other games recently I just think it has worse writing than the original game. And it sucks insomniac is going the Naughty Dog route I hope they know to abandon that route before they take it too far but idk.
Imagine playing so hard into hackers, not only have they exposed confidential company data, but also exposed all the phony Pony defenders. IMAGINE GETTING PLAYED LIKED THAT. most common W of hook, line and sinker
I'm more surprised by the revenue split than anything. Insomniac took an awful deal and explains why a game like Guardians of the Galaxy could never make money if Eidos took a similar deal.
guardians was a freaking awesome game that nobody tried because of avengers,the writing was good,the banter even the gameplay, edit- i dont need 100 different button combos to have fun. if you have never played it give it a shot because its very well done
the biggest problem with insomniac isnt their gameplay or technical wizardry. its their tendency to write woke garbage, change characterizations, update stories for modern audiences, inject intersectional identity bs, and bow to activists with brainrot. the games are polished and fun, but their storytelling is dogwater, guided by victim grifters who wont buy this sht either way. insomniac is yet another company infected by degenerate woke parasites.
This is a tangent, but sweet baby inc. are “consultants” for the big video game developers. They are one of the major contributors to the injection of politically correct nonsense and crap writing in many of the current AAA releases.
The 90s animated reboot is still supposed to be coming up next April, but seeing as its Disney, we don't have any hope for it, even if the showrunner actually respects the fans and source material.
*Dev:* you don't have to be super to be a hero *What it means apparently to be a hero/heroic:* Concussing and assassinating multiple professional mercenaries with extreme prejudice. Alfred Pennyworth has entered the chat.
Companies everywhere are really doubling down on the raise prices model to try to make up for short comings from sales increase during the pandemic. When the volume declines they decide they have to raise prices more which causes a terrible spiral. Margin goes up, but profits go down. This isn’t just video games but a lot of industries right now. Idk what they’re teaching in business college but it’s pretty bad.
everything has to be bigger than the last. a good release isn’t good enough, it has to be the next top selling game. if they’re not making more money than last quarter they’re failing. so they choose short term gains to make reports look good. introduction of quarterly battle passes is the most egregious example
Thank you, Papa G, for introducing me to this Greg Miller person. Not only am I glad i'd never heard of him, until now. I now also know I can allow my knowing of him to fade into the nothingness from whence it came because I now know that there is nothing worth knowing about Gregg Miller, or the things he concerns himself with. A worthy Christmas gift. Thank you.
What "competent studios"? Naughty Dog has gone woke. Insomniac has gone woke. Santa Monica has hone woke. Square Enix hasn't made a good game since Kingdom Hearts 2 in 2005. Sucker Punch Games has been canceled. From Software has been cancelled. Atlus has gone all-in with the multi-platform business model. Who's left?
@smallmrboss They made Elden Ring which the media hated and is therefore racist. Also, Final Fantasy XVI is garbo. I just went on Metacritic and briefly looked through the user reviews. Like 70% of the positive reviews are either non-reviews, blatant SE dickriding, or were made by people who unironically think FFVII Remake was good but I repeat myself. Then there's the fact that they've apparently been deleting negative reviews with two users even complaining about muh Russian Bots.
@@HunterStiles651racist according to the media or racist the game in general? If its the latter then buddy it was baked in and no one cared about the albinaurics. They just serve as exp farm. Plus the entire setting was completely fucked and our goal is to fuck it up even more in order to establish everlasting peace a la classic Dark Souls 3. The GRR Martin writing was a bonus. For FF16, that’s debatable on many angles. The main problem was that it’s a Sony exclusive and thankfully we’ll get a PC version sometime in the future.
^ Sorry guys, this NPC’s broken. His responses are all mixed up. Insomniac didn’t do anything to Spider-Man 2 that hasn’t already been done in the comics.
They’re giving all the women in the game this Mary Jaw treatment like in SM2, also the fact they’re going with OML in the ending probably means he’ll be benched in the sequel for X-23 like what happened with Peter Parker.
Seemed more like they went with OML because they want to make their own bastardized version of AoA,as far as the leaks go. In fact,there was no mention of X-23 whatsoever in the script summary from what I remember.
the biggest problem with insomniac isnt their gameplay or technical wizardry. its their tendency to write woke garbage, change characterizations, update stories for modern audiences, inject intersectional identity bs, and bow to activists with brainrot. the games are polished and fun, but their storytelling is dogwater, guided by victim grifters who wont buy this sht either way. insomniac is yet another company infected by degenerate woke parasites.
Game journalists didn’t get upset with the capcom leaks, or the rockstar leaks, but now suddenly they throw a fit because of insomniac leaks? It’s so hypocritical.
I like how you mentioned the God of War creator not liking the new titles incident. Even taking story and character personality aside, the fact that this new GoW plays and feels more "standardized" with the over the shoulder camera kinda shows how homogenized the AAA gaming industry has become and how annoying the push for this style of gaming currently is.
It still deals with fatherhood, a topic that is in short supply in media. You can’t just take the “story and character personality” out of the equation. It’s a holistic experience. And even if the camera is ‘standardized’ the gameplay itself is quite deep. You have to put actual thought into a build especially on the harder difficulties
Just about all of Soyny's exclusive titles have become much more generic and boring than ever. I get that the format of the older God of War games before God of War 4(2018) have started to grow a bit stale but this new and current format of the latest God of War games are just flat out too slow-paced and boring and not an improvement over the old format.
I like the Norse setting, but would of been better if it was a trilogy and Ragnorok should of been the third game tbh, and Kratos should of been a bad ass while being a dad at the same time tbh, but I see how the direction changed between the two, I want to see Kratos take on the Norse mythology and God's, but we've got Mr Kratos the God of Peace instead tbh, not really a good God of War story tbh, game play looks cool, but should be like the original trilogy tbh, and the next trilogy should be him taking on all the God's in the the world like a battle royale kinda trilogy tbh, and end with him living in peace as he witness the dawn of a new era of God's and belief tbh, set up the creation of Christianity where The one and only God give him what he truly want, happiness and peace, reunite his family as the story leads into the Arthurian era or when he makes sure a certain couple make it to Bethlahem for a birth of a new era, so yeah
I have to agree with that, they could have introduce so many diffrent cool perspective shot or many others things to make it a cool story base game. Basically if they were gonna go with this knew route they should have improve the cinematic gameplay experience and include that sometimes with gameplay. But they kind of just did 3d person stuck camera, shit when so many parts they could have improve or innovated on to with there new wants, the style of game they wanted to take this series. I love the force camera angles they add to the buety of the game they create personality into the scene. They could have invoated a lot but they didn't. Love the idea for the story though.
@@trenchmouse2438 Well, my main focus here is on gameplay, not story. David Jeff is the one who is bothered the most by it. But regardless of how good or non-generic you think the story and tone of the new GOW games is, it is still of my opinion that the modern story heavy focus of videogames nowadays has become more detrimental to the industry than helpful. Because now instead of focusing on actual innovative gameplay or great improvements to already established formulas, we now have these "playable movies" that pour most of their budgets into being Oscar Baits than actually providing us with technical improvements on how the games play. And while I think the new God of Wars have good gameplay, it's nothing really mindblowing like other games and series of previous decades used to be back in the day. Also, I'm not a particular fan of new GOW's slow-paced combat. I know it is not some shallow button masher, but if I wanted to engage into extensive amounts of planning and preparation for builds within a deeply strategic and slow intricate system that requires more mathematical skills from the player than actual reflexes, then I'd go for the several strategy videogames plus the occasional CRPG that I already do play routinely as opposed to an *action* or fighting videogame. This kind of gameplay is just not the place for an *action* title that came directly from a Hack'n'Slash series. Hell, can you imagine if DOOM had come back as one of those comparatively "tactical" shooters like Half-Life and Halo? Because that's the feeling I have with God of War. Ffs, not everything needs to be a "soulslike" and even within this category of games by FromSoftware their most popular ones are the ones that are faster paced.
I remember the xmen wolverine orgins tie-in video game in the 360/ps3 era, that was one of the most visceral, awesome, and most faithful gameplay you would expect from a wolverine game Healing factor, no med kits and u watched the wounds heal! Lunges, berserk mode, and combos that would make OG kratos blush Hughes Jackman voiced him! If u played it, that should be you bar for the minimum of a acceptable wolverine game
I think it's fine that the creator of God of War doesn't like the new games, but I will say that the new games do what most media won't do, show masculinity and fatherhood in a positive light.
I do hate that the creator doesn’t like it because I never once thought while playing that Kratos was “soft” though I respect their vision. Physically, he seems as strong as ever and it makes a lot of sense for his character that the one thing to crack his mental armor is his family.
@@gimik2593 It wasn't the character he created, I can understand why he doesn't like it. I disagree with him but I get where he's coming from. As for Kratos being soft, I think 2018 and Ragnarok make it very clear he's holding back a lot to not become a monster again. Guy has serious PTSD and if anyone threatens his son he could slip back into that monster.
Id also like to take this opportunity that all those sex mini games in the original trilogy that the likes of Anita Sarkeesian complain about.. were all made by women.
To be fair Dreamcast can only have so much to talk about since sega has been RIP a long time in the console space 😂 Tbf I don’t know how that guy has such a huge popularity. Fanboys regardless the console are annoying and delusional.
I was done with Greg Miller after what he did to Colin Moriarty which was really stupid after a joke he made. I remember back in the 90s when we had G4tv and EGM in those days it was about video games. Now I don't even know how to describe gaming journalism when people like Adam Sessler are giving allot of awful political rants that really make no sense. Then you got an idiot which I think is from Kotaku reviewing the ps5 when it really was not about the ps5. These gaming journalist have completely shot themselves in the foot which is the cause for their own down fall.
What did he do to Colin? I wasn't up to date what happened? Because I was out of the loop, but Greg feels like one of those soyboys that people talk about, lol
Sony owns gaming journalists or -advertisers- as they defend any bad, anti-consumer, anti-fandom decision they make. Its like the Kane and Lynch 2 Dog Days was a never ending cycle.
IIRC the guy who reviewed it at GameSpot gave it a 6/10. Eidos took massive issue with that, contacted GameSpot and eventually the reviewer was let go.
Translation:"I Greg Miller will not be covering the leaks of the Wolverine game and will be victimizing Sony because they invite me to conventions and pay me to say nice things about their games"
It's a real shame how Insomniac has fallen. Ratchet and Clank has a huge devoted cult following. I emulated the original 4 games, and had more fun running through those in about 30 hours, compared to modern "YOU HAVE TO PLAY FOR 20 HOURS BEFORE THE GAME GETS GOOD!!!"
Game journalists that are in touch with gamers and tell the truth don't get early review copies. That's why I always wait for games to be out for a bit and get HONEST reviews before buying.
most game journalists don't actually want to be covering anything related to gaming. it's a steppingstone to politics or whatever they are actually interested in.
It’s just strange that Sony Associates itself with studios that take a nose dive into E.S.G. directions. Naughty dog, insomniac, bungie… I’m sure it’s just a big coincidence. 🎩 🐍 no step on Snek!🇺🇸🇭🇰
We don't need games urinalism anymore. It's not the 90s anymore. We can get all of the information directly from the developers, and RUclipsrs (who are actual gamers) can get review copies just as easily as Kot...well, maybe not Kotaku anymore, but still. The days of Official PlayStation Magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly, etc are long dead. GamerGate exposed these people for who they are. It's time to leave them in the past too. I trust a RUclipsr with 200 subscribers than I ever will Kotaku.
He could just have said: "The people from Insomniac are very good friends of ours so we wouldn't be talking about the leaks". That is it no one would have told him how much of a jerk he is.
Game journalism nowadays is equivalent to whoever is willing to waste the most amount of money on scummy, broken, unfinished video game pre-orders and lie about it.
honestly, of the extra cost for the price increases actually went towards making more games we probably wouldn't care as much, but we all know every last cent of that is going to the upper management.
Wolverine with the rules Marvel put in place could have been the greatest Hack an Slash game to ever be made, just had to be Metal Gear Rising Revengence but Marvel, but no it had to be even more of the usual sonyslop we're used to.
The proposed price increases in the leak just confirm that leaving console gaming 7+ years ago was the best decision I ever made. It's always going to be a higher and higher price for releases that are uninspired at best.
This is why I stay away from everything to do with all of the comics. Does it matter whether it's movies, video games, new comics, or just people online pretending their fans? The rot is so deep that anything new coming out is tainted before it even comes out and the only thing that's still palatable is the old stuff Which they're trying to retroactively destroy
I remember loving reading gaming articles, discovering my love of Persona 3 from a game guide in a gaming magazine. They wrote it in such describing detail and excitement that my 12-year-old mind at the time was immediately hooked. I don't think that today's gaming journalist could capture that same excitement anymore.
I'm going to play Devil's Advocate for a moment. She's stated on interviews that she acts in games for two reasons: she wants to leave something for her grandkids to remember her by, and because she actually enjoys acting in them. She's also stated that other black actresses find acting in games is beneath them. She thinks that attitude is dumb, so she'll happily act in games if she's offered. She seems like she's doing this because she wants to, so I don't mind her showing up. Helps she turns in a decent performance and doesn't hog the spotlight.
The intention was always to get games up to that $100 mark. I remember it being mentioned back when the increase happened from $60 USD to $70 USD. They also said AAA titles would be better now that they are charging more. It's been a few years. I wonder if the console fanatics are happy with the increase in "quality". 🤣
Game journalism is already dead since 2014, they are nothing but glorified PR marketing
GamerGate and the games journalism PR spin was quite literally the test run of all mainstream media's efforts to lie and gaslight the public. Just two years after that, they successfully did it to virtue shield Ghostbusters 2016. And ever since then, everything has been "You just don't like this shitty product cause you're an istaphobe!"
The slow death of Gaming Journalism started when Gamespot fired Jeff Gerstmann for daring to give Kane & Lynch: Dead Men an average score.
All shills, always have been.

Greg is the kind of person to yell "Just be nice!" and then call people bigots if they don't vote democrat
What gave it away? Him working as a “journalist?” Or him looking like a cuck?
Bro literally fed his best friend to a Twitter cancel mob over a tame dad joke. To say he's lacking in character is putting it mildly.
I remember that he said something like "A day without a woman, ah peace and quiet." And they freaked the heck out over that.
@@DeepStone-6 Aye. After that joke the entire game journo industry wanted his head. Miller and the rest of the Kinda Funny people then released a public statement saying that Colin was wrong. It was absurd. Honestly, the whole thing was more of a hit piece then anything imo. I don't think they really cared about the joke. I think they just wanted Colin out of industry and this was the excuse they used. He was always openly conservative in an industry with VERY few people that are and as wokeness started to amp up post GG his existence was simply no longer acceptable in that industry. So he had to go. Typical of the tolerant left.

If i were a games journalist I'd likely get in too much shit with twitter (insert your favorite slur here)s . Do you know how refreshing it'd be to have a games journalist just actually tell you "Hey yeah this game is fine but you can tell theyre pandering here and there" and thats it? Its always gotta be some fuckin bullshit or crying

Their hypocrisy is fuxking disgusting
"Dont ya get it ya have to do better because pokimane told me this after i donated 1000 dollars to her twitch stream so i need to be better" people who utter the words do or be better are usually losers who nevee contributes to anything in their life

I used to work for a branch of Nintendo and for a time they had an 'air gap' between the computers that could work on the software and art they were making for games and the ones that connected to the Internet. Which is to say that they were completely different systems so it wasn't even POSSIBLE to hack through one to the other. But over time the president decided to completely eliminate that gap because he wanted people to work from home. I kept trying to tell him how this completely exposed him to all manner of problems... not only from hackers into the company system but anyone who hacked any other computer that now could connect to the company system, but he quite simply didn't care. "Who would hack us?" he kept saying. What a fool. So basically that's your answer: lazy people who are willing to compromise and completely ignore risks and disregard advice.
That's what I'm saying. If experian,one of the three MAJOR credit bureau, got into hack multiple times. One way was by going to their website in another language and basically clicking in the corner of the screen thst would pull up a back door with a ton of peoples personal info. No fire wall, no security code. They don't care. If they did they would actually care about there employees they would have payed the ransom and protected there info, or I dunno, maybe use the money they made from all these successful games and up there sercuirty....there a major 3rd party now and should secure themselves like one.
I used to get my game news from game journalism before I discovered youtube. You can get so much more from just watching stuff for yourself on RUclips than listening to someone's biased opinion in their article
Agreed. I was an IGN fanboy during the first decade of the 2000's. I can't imagine caring about their opinion ever again. There's no reason to look anywhere else other than indie youtubers for gaming info.

As for people claiming that _youtubers don't have biases_ they have, but they don't label themselves as journalists unlike Greg Miller here and one of the requirements to be a real journalist is *impartial bias* which he totally demonstrates by sharing Capcom and Rocktar leaks but not Insomniac because he's a Sony fanboy.

Sony has always been a piece of shit company, they did everything in their power to ruin Michael Jackson.
People keep forgetting that Soyny was already slowly getting corrupt even before relocating their Gheystation HQ to Commiefornia.
Remember when Microshaft took all the heat for the always-online DRM that they were originally going to implement in the Xbox One? Soyny was originally going to do the same with the PS4 until they saw Microshaft took all the backlash for it first so they all(both Microshaft and Soyny) immediately backpedaled on the DRM BS. Both consoles(PS4 and Xbox One) have launched years before Soyny relocated their Gheystation HQ to Commiefornia.
Only true, zealous ideologues would move to Cali. It's so damn expensive to run a business there.
When I hear a person say "be better" and "step up", I tune them out. Works pretty well for me.
Failed journalists

gamergate was at the same time as females being pushed onto the male dominated nerd culture. criticism of things related to females was always a part of gamergate. whether it be forced mary sues or de-sexualization/censorship. it wasn't sexism or hating on women but it was framed that way by journos
I think it kicked off because of Zoe Quinn driving one of her exes to suicide.
Not entirely sure it was Zoe Quinn.
Ah anyways, it's not relevent today.
@@rorrim0 No thats incorrect. She did do that, but that happened years after GG. It kicked off after one of her exes outed her for abuse, and was called a misogynist for it.
Then she gets all the games journos she sucked off to defend her, and people see right through it. So then as well as the og bf, they now have to call fully half or more of gamers misogynists too.
Years later and she has now accused pretty much every ex of abuse and chucked them under the bus for a bit more spotlight time.

I mean no offense but becoming a gaming journo is one of those dreams that like..every gaming nerd trying to deny the onset of adulthood has. You sit around getting lost in imaginary worlds, then you get online and talk in communities about it.. happily typing up small books worth of opinions about your favorite games. So many gamers already do the exact same thing journos do but they do it for free and with no audience. Gaming journalism offers a way to solve the adult problems facing you without changing priorities at all. There's a reason most ppl who do it are overgrown kids with no life experience.

There's no such thing as spoilers with leaks these days, its just a case of being forewarned.
It’s funny we’re approaching the 10 year anniversary of gamergate. The original issue was that a developer was sleeping around to get favorable scores on her shitty Web app game. These journalists might not be as brazen with fucking, but they’re doing the same exact thing with these larger studios. They’re essentially just pay whores. I rarely trust anything they say when they review something I always go to RUclips for reviews. Also, I find it funny that Microsoft leaks were widely reported upon earlier this year but now there’s some type of ethical issue with this. I have been trying to avoid spoilers about the Wolverine game.
I understand that these companies need to profit but maybe they should cut down development costs there’s no reason why any game should cost $400 million. Maybe grand theft auto would be the exception, considering that’s a game of 5 to 7 years of development time. AAStudios are able to make games that are better on a shoestring budget. Maybe they should pair down the team sizes so then they could make more games and make them on a smaller budget. The original halo was made on a 40 person development team. I’m going to bet 343 has over 200 people working on halo now. I’m not saying to fire devs, but the AAA developers need to re-organize and rethink how they’re going to do things.

I really can't think of a single game that's worth the $80 price tag, it's an absolute joke. They're more concerned with turning a profit on a half finished game than having any sort of integrity for their product.
Seriously. I recently bought mass effect trilogy for 20 dollars.
Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate 3, God of War, there are enough games worth the price for the effort they put in and the result of the product. Pretending as if every game is like the new CoD is doing more harm to the industry, because you discourage those who are doing good.
@gehtdichnichtsan2418 Elden Ring and the latest GOW are the most overrated heap of garbage recently. Keep consuming mediocre cobtebt to appease the poor multi million dollar companies.
I've been playing Genshin Impact for a year! It's a Free Game that's absolutely massive
Lets just wait. So many games exists. Just wait and buy it cheaper later. Plus the games are usually patched at that time.
Remember when Tears of the Kingdom leaked and all these game journos immediately jumped in to report on it?
If it's Nintendo or Xbox, they happily report it, but when it's their Overlord Sony, they refuse.
They'll cover every single leak as long as Sony isn't involved with the company.
At this point, it's pretty obvious that these urinalists are on Soyny's payroll.
I'm confused so like did someone (not from Nintendo) leak tears of the kingdom? Also are they not leaking sony publish titles becuase they Hate them, or are they a slave too them becuase they want to.
Nobody reported it apart from a few outlets and they got blacklisted by nintendo Why do you lie to support your narrative?
This kills me! My childhood is being ruined by these people. 😢
That shirtless spider-man bit was my first and hopefully last time hearing about it. Greg Miller comes off as a guy who doesnt care about Sony shuttering off it's game developers in Japan for being able to easily suck the teat of American companies like Insomniac.
Greg looks like the kind of person that buys feet pics.
1:01 I'm sorry, but was that post from 4Chan about Wolverine crafting med kits true? Is a game about the Wolverine, whose other main power aside from adamantium claws is *regenerative healing,* going to have him craft med kits for healing? Holy f-cking sh-t, have these people ever read a single comic in their life?!
How in the actual f-ck do you not realize that the Wolverine's healing factor can allow him to simply regenerate his health over time? That's all the people behind the game would have to implement, and it'd save them a bit of work because then he wouldn't need the animations to do so!
Like I can understand if it's part of a story where he loses his powers ish, but like that unquie story moment should be about his mental of his human side, and his concept of what living is,etc.
Well they probably make you play 60% of the game as Kitty or something and the med kits are for her. Very bold of you to believe that you'll be playing as Wolverine in an Insomniac Wolverine game.. 😅
Remember that one interview with the game director where he pretty much confirms that he learned with a certain klown about "forcing behaviors".
He learned about "forcing behavior" wtf.
They have a Sony bias...no way. Who saw this one coming?
The more they try to say "bad people are people who dont agree with me" the easier it is to ignore them.

And it sucks insomniac is going the Naughty Dog route I hope they know to abandon that route before they take it too far but idk.
I'll just wait for the next MechWarrior game at this point...
Imagine playing so hard into hackers, not only have they exposed confidential company data, but also exposed all the phony Pony defenders. IMAGINE GETTING PLAYED LIKED THAT. most common W of hook, line and sinker
I'm more surprised by the revenue split than anything. Insomniac took an awful deal and explains why a game like Guardians of the Galaxy could never make money if Eidos took a similar deal.
It didn't help that GOTG had to deal with a deformed sibling in the form of Avengers. That certainly turned a lot of people off of Guardians.
guardians was a freaking awesome game that nobody tried because of avengers,the writing was good,the banter even the gameplay, edit- i dont need 100 different button combos to have fun. if you have never played it give it a shot because its very well done
Exactly I wanted a sequel lol@@codywold
the biggest problem with insomniac isnt their gameplay or technical wizardry. its their tendency to write woke garbage, change characterizations, update stories for modern audiences, inject intersectional identity bs, and bow to activists with brainrot. the games are polished and fun, but their storytelling is dogwater, guided by victim grifters who wont buy this sht either way. insomniac is yet another company infected by degenerate woke parasites.
This is a tangent, but sweet baby inc. are “consultants” for the big video game developers. They are one of the major contributors to the injection of politically correct nonsense and crap writing in many of the current AAA releases.

Idk what they’re teaching in business college but it’s pretty bad.
everything has to be bigger than the last. a good release isn’t good enough, it has to be the next top selling game. if they’re not making more money than last quarter they’re failing. so they choose short term gains to make reports look good. introduction of quarterly battle passes is the most egregious example

Also, Final Fantasy XVI is garbo. I just went on Metacritic and briefly looked through the user reviews. Like 70% of the positive reviews are either non-reviews, blatant SE dickriding, or were made by people who unironically think FFVII Remake was good but I repeat myself.
Then there's the fact that they've apparently been deleting negative reviews with two users even complaining about muh Russian Bots.
@@HunterStiles651racist according to the media or racist the game in general?
If its the latter then buddy it was baked in and no one cared about the albinaurics. They just serve as exp farm. Plus the entire setting was completely fucked and our goal is to fuck it up even more in order to establish everlasting peace a la classic Dark Souls 3. The GRR Martin writing was a bonus.
For FF16, that’s debatable on many angles. The main problem was that it’s a Sony exclusive and thankfully we’ll get a PC version sometime in the future.
Insomniac's getting a taste of karma for what they did with Spider-Man 2.
Karma for what?
@@amgoingmad the new Spider-Man game is woke asf. even hoisted a Cuban flag in Mile's apartment
^ Sorry guys, this NPC’s broken. His responses are all mixed up.
Insomniac didn’t do anything to Spider-Man 2 that hasn’t already been done in the comics.
@@jackielogan9104how is that woke?
what karma? for new york being diverse?
$80-100 for games?! Get ready for piracy!
Greg Miller is the biggest (literally) L of a "journalist"
I do appreciate the DSP references that get thrown in once in awhile.
Gundam got me in the dsp rabbit hole. Damn him.
They’re giving all the women in the game this Mary Jaw treatment like in SM2, also the fact they’re going with OML in the ending probably means he’ll be benched in the sequel for X-23 like what happened with Peter Parker.
Exactly. Whatever happens to Insomniac is on them for choosing to work with Sweet Baby Inc.
Seemed more like they went with OML because they want to make their own bastardized version of AoA,as far as the leaks go.
In fact,there was no mention of X-23 whatsoever in the script summary from what I remember.
the biggest problem with insomniac isnt their gameplay or technical wizardry. its their tendency to write woke garbage, change characterizations, update stories for modern audiences, inject intersectional identity bs, and bow to activists with brainrot. the games are polished and fun, but their storytelling is dogwater, guided by victim grifters who wont buy this sht either way. insomniac is yet another company infected by degenerate woke parasites.
Game journalists didn’t get upset with the capcom leaks, or the rockstar leaks, but now suddenly they throw a fit because of insomniac leaks? It’s so hypocritical.
Its called getting what Sony paid for with the guys in their payola.
I like how you mentioned the God of War creator not liking the new titles incident. Even taking story and character personality aside, the fact that this new GoW plays and feels more "standardized" with the over the shoulder camera kinda shows how homogenized the AAA gaming industry has become and how annoying the push for this style of gaming currently is.
It still deals with fatherhood, a topic that is in short supply in media. You can’t just take the “story and character personality” out of the equation. It’s a holistic experience.
And even if the camera is ‘standardized’ the gameplay itself is quite deep. You have to put actual thought into a build especially on the harder difficulties
Just about all of Soyny's exclusive titles have become much more generic and boring than ever. I get that the format of the older God of War games before God of War 4(2018) have started to grow a bit stale but this new and current format of the latest God of War games are just flat out too slow-paced and boring and not an improvement over the old format.
I like the Norse setting, but would of been better if it was a trilogy and Ragnorok should of been the third game tbh, and Kratos should of been a bad ass while being a dad at the same time tbh, but I see how the direction changed between the two, I want to see Kratos take on the Norse mythology and God's, but we've got Mr Kratos the God of Peace instead tbh, not really a good God of War story tbh, game play looks cool, but should be like the original trilogy tbh, and the next trilogy should be him taking on all the God's in the the world like a battle royale kinda trilogy tbh, and end with him living in peace as he witness the dawn of a new era of God's and belief tbh, set up the creation of Christianity where The one and only God give him what he truly want, happiness and peace, reunite his family as the story leads into the Arthurian era or when he makes sure a certain couple make it to Bethlahem for a birth of a new era, so yeah
I have to agree with that, they could have introduce so many diffrent cool perspective shot or many others things to make it a cool story base game.
Basically if they were gonna go with this knew route they should have improve the cinematic gameplay experience and include that sometimes with gameplay.
But they kind of just did 3d person stuck camera, shit when so many parts they could have improve or innovated on to with there new wants, the style of game they wanted to take this series.
I love the force camera angles they add to the buety of the game they create personality into the scene. They could have invoated a lot but they didn't.
Love the idea for the story though.
@@trenchmouse2438 Well, my main focus here is on gameplay, not story. David Jeff is the one who is bothered the most by it. But regardless of how good or non-generic you think the story and tone of the new GOW games is, it is still of my opinion that the modern story heavy focus of videogames nowadays has become more detrimental to the industry than helpful. Because now instead of focusing on actual innovative gameplay or great improvements to already established formulas, we now have these "playable movies" that pour most of their budgets into being Oscar Baits than actually providing us with technical improvements on how the games play. And while I think the new God of Wars have good gameplay, it's nothing really mindblowing like other games and series of previous decades used to be back in the day.
Also, I'm not a particular fan of new GOW's slow-paced combat. I know it is not some shallow button masher, but if I wanted to engage into extensive amounts of planning and preparation for builds within a deeply strategic and slow intricate system that requires more mathematical skills from the player than actual reflexes, then I'd go for the several strategy videogames plus the occasional CRPG that I already do play routinely as opposed to an *action* or fighting videogame. This kind of gameplay is just not the place for an *action* title that came directly from a Hack'n'Slash series. Hell, can you imagine if DOOM had come back as one of those comparatively "tactical" shooters like Half-Life and Halo? Because that's the feeling I have with God of War. Ffs, not everything needs to be a "soulslike" and even within this category of games by FromSoftware their most popular ones are the ones that are faster paced.
2 million dollars is literally pennies to a company that big. They kinda deserve this.
I don't regret having not played the recent Spiderman games.
I’m over here still playing bloodborne.
It was very middle of the road. The first game was better.
Haven't touched a single one
The first game had a great story with mediocre gameplay, but the other ones have trash stories with the same mediocre gameplay.
Any time anyone tells me to 'be better' it just winds me up
Greg Miller has the personality of a fed ex photo taken at the wrong destination and just left there
Or that predator show. Have a seat over here Greg
I remember the xmen wolverine orgins tie-in video game in the 360/ps3 era, that was one of the most visceral, awesome, and most faithful gameplay you would expect from a wolverine game
Healing factor, no med kits and u watched the wounds heal!
Lunges, berserk mode, and combos that would make OG kratos blush
Hughes Jackman voiced him!
If u played it, that should be you bar for the minimum of a acceptable wolverine game
Everyone knows that video games journalist aren’t actually journalist at all but activist in disguise. lol
I think it's fine that the creator of God of War doesn't like the new games, but I will say that the new games do what most media won't do, show masculinity and fatherhood in a positive light.
I do hate that the creator doesn’t like it because I never once thought while playing that Kratos was “soft” though I respect their vision. Physically, he seems as strong as ever and it makes a lot of sense for his character that the one thing to crack his mental armor is his family.
@@gimik2593 It wasn't the character he created, I can understand why he doesn't like it. I disagree with him but I get where he's coming from. As for Kratos being soft, I think 2018 and Ragnarok make it very clear he's holding back a lot to not become a monster again. Guy has serious PTSD and if anyone threatens his son he could slip back into that monster.
I’m just glad GoW and GoWR both were incredible and deep in spite of the MESSAGE that lurks in the shadows of the studios
Id also like to take this opportunity that all those sex mini games in the original trilogy that the likes of Anita Sarkeesian complain about.. were all made by women.
@@KeytarArgonian I don't see how that's relevant to what I was saying but okay, thanks for the info.
It’s been that way since the PS3 days.
Also: Dreamcast guy hasn’t talked about Dreamcast stuff in a long ass time, aka he’s a Sony Zealot.
Damn!! The Dreamcast guy isn't a Dreamcast fan? What a shocker, lol
But seriously, how did all that happened, right?
To be fair Dreamcast can only have so much to talk about since sega has been RIP a long time in the console space 😂
Tbf I don’t know how that guy has such a huge popularity.
Fanboys regardless the console are annoying and delusional.
That's just a stylish non-indicative name.
Greg Miller was one of the new woke hires for Rooster Teeth back in the day. That tells you just how much you shouldn’t listen to that guy.
I was done with Greg Miller after what he did to Colin Moriarty which was really stupid after a joke he made. I remember back in the 90s when we had G4tv and EGM in those days it was about video games. Now I don't even know how to describe gaming journalism when people like Adam Sessler are giving allot of awful political rants that really make no sense. Then you got an idiot which I think is from Kotaku reviewing the ps5 when it really was not about the ps5. These gaming journalist have completely shot themselves in the foot which is the cause for their own down fall.
What did he do to Colin? I wasn't up to date what happened? Because I was out of the loop, but Greg feels like one of those soyboys that people talk about, lol
@@bradwhite5884 Colin made a joke on Women's history month saying peace and quiet and well twitter had a trantrum and Grey fired him.
Greg Miller has been instrumental in destroying gaming journalism.
Sony owns gaming journalists or -advertisers- as they defend any bad, anti-consumer, anti-fandom decision they make. Its like the Kane and Lynch 2 Dog Days was a never ending cycle.
What happened with Kane and Lynch 2?
@@DanielGonzalez-iz2zgit was pretty poorly received. Poorly handled too I think.
And look what happened to the Kane and Lynch series, lol
IIRC the guy who reviewed it at GameSpot gave it a 6/10. Eidos took massive issue with that, contacted GameSpot and eventually the reviewer was let go.
@@bradwhite5884saw the pyrocinical videos about it

Fibromyalgia is her mutant power.

I actually think it might be pretty cool, if they make her powers like the force in Star Wars Force Unleashed.
Translation:"I Greg Miller will not be covering the leaks of the Wolverine game and will be victimizing Sony because they invite me to conventions and pay me to say nice things about their games"
It’s a service to expose these companies & the developers alongside their new overlords at sweet baby inc.

Yo Daddy Frit!
Bundle of sticks 😂
It's a real shame how Insomniac has fallen. Ratchet and Clank has a huge devoted cult following. I emulated the original 4 games, and had more fun running through those in about 30 hours, compared to modern "YOU HAVE TO PLAY FOR 20 HOURS BEFORE THE GAME GETS GOOD!!!"
I am very pleased to say that I have no clue who any of these people are.
Game journalists that are in touch with gamers and tell the truth don't get early review copies.
That's why I always wait for games to be out for a bit and get HONEST reviews before buying.
The word Journalist should be viewed as a red flag.
Hearing Greg talk about heroes explains so much. He has no idea what a hero even is. So sad.
If they didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any at all.
most game journalists don't actually want to be covering anything related to gaming. it's a steppingstone to politics or whatever they are actually interested in.
"BAD THING BAD, GOOD THING GOOD" thank you for stating the obvious mister gaming journalist
Gregg Miller would sell out his grandma for that next piece of wealth, fame, or clout.
It’s just strange that Sony Associates itself with studios that take a nose dive into E.S.G. directions.
Naughty dog, insomniac, bungie…
I’m sure it’s just a big coincidence.

We don't need games urinalism anymore. It's not the 90s anymore. We can get all of the information directly from the developers, and RUclipsrs (who are actual gamers) can get review copies just as easily as Kot...well, maybe not Kotaku anymore, but still.
The days of Official PlayStation Magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly, etc are long dead. GamerGate exposed these people for who they are. It's time to leave them in the past too. I trust a RUclipsr with 200 subscribers than I ever will Kotaku.
Greg Miller is a joke. Him winning a Game Award once says a lot about the Game Awards
Reminds me of the time the Nobel Prize committee came out and said that they regret giving Obama their prize.
Wait he did? Man he's so forgettable because I also watch game award 😂
The silver lining is that people aren’t missing much by not having a PS5
He could just have said: "The people from Insomniac are very good friends of ours so we wouldn't be talking about the leaks". That is it no one would have told him how much of a jerk he is.
Game journalism nowadays is equivalent to whoever is willing to waste the most amount of money on scummy, broken, unfinished video game pre-orders and lie about it.
honestly, of the extra cost for the price increases actually went towards making more games we probably wouldn't care as much, but we all know every last cent of that is going to the upper management.
Wolverine with the rules Marvel put in place could have been the greatest Hack an Slash game to ever be made, just had to be Metal Gear Rising Revengence but Marvel, but no it had to be even more of the usual sonyslop we're used to.
Agreed
Greg Shiller has to pay for that fancy studio somehow....
The proposed price increases in the leak just confirm that leaving console gaming 7+ years ago was the best decision I ever made.
It's always going to be a higher and higher price for releases that are uninspired at best.
Yeah...I'm not holding my breath.
This is why I stay away from everything to do with all of the comics. Does it matter whether it's movies, video games, new comics, or just people online pretending their fans? The rot is so deep that anything new coming out is tainted before it even comes out and the only thing that's still palatable is the old stuff Which they're trying to retroactively destroy
I remember loving reading gaming articles, discovering my love of Persona 3 from a game guide in a gaming magazine. They wrote it in such describing detail and excitement that my 12-year-old mind at the time was immediately hooked. I don't think that today's gaming journalist could capture that same excitement anymore.
The human component is that Debra Wilson is in yet another game
I'm going to play Devil's Advocate for a moment. She's stated on interviews that she acts in games for two reasons: she wants to leave something for her grandkids to remember her by, and because she actually enjoys acting in them.
She's also stated that other black actresses find acting in games is beneath them. She thinks that attitude is dumb, so she'll happily act in games if she's offered.
She seems like she's doing this because she wants to, so I don't mind her showing up. Helps she turns in a decent performance and doesn't hog the spotlight.

The intention was always to get games up to that $100 mark. I remember it being mentioned back when the increase happened from $60 USD to $70 USD.
They also said AAA titles would be better now that they are charging more. It's been a few years. I wonder if the console fanatics are happy with the increase in "quality". 🤣
