Polygon plays the first 30 minutes of doom, these are the people who review video games - General

Yes. It's the same in every thread, you post a dumb opinion, and when people say it's dumb you turn to shitposting.

Better turn it into a you love guns argument. Like seriously you didn't even watch the video, fuck off.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;50323674]i skipped through the video, if he tears up then that is a whole other thing. the replies to the video just made it sound like 'hes a puss because he doesnt like guns'[/QUOTE] *posts exact thing used to ban people for* :|

[QUOTE=mooman1080;50329180]People pointing out me being an ass? Better turn it into a you love guns argument.[/QUOTE] yeah and continuing on his "tl;dr because my time is too important to waste on critical thought" trend he ignored my entire post which included a bit about how i don't have an issue with disliking firearms when you know what you're talking about. probably because he doesn't know what he's talking about and like the polygon editor dislikes them because they're scary (to him)

Until someone reuploaded this drivel, they were reaping views from people curious about how abhorrent the video was, and people still wind up watching it because it's the first result relating to it. The whole "no such thing as bad publicity" schtick. Why bother vetting the content if it's going to get the same if not more views if it's published as-is?

Sites like Polygon and Kotaku do have really lax editors, though. They're basically blogs where their bloggers can post whatever they want whenever they want. As long as it brings in the clicks and attention, who cares how good it is?

Could have seriously played a few times, change controller sensitivity, and get a feel for it before making a video So either they're lazy unprofessional shits that are not gamers, or was last minute to get a video out.

I'm surprised Rusty didn't realise how ironic him complaining about people insulting those who disagreed with them was. [editline]stop snooping around[/editline] I guess he was more condescending than insulting.

what have I done

It's always been obvious you were just posting unpopular opinions to cause arguments but you're not even trying now. Not to mention this isn't the first time you've ignored arguments/not watched the whole video before shitposting.

It's like the dev said, the guy wasn't reviewing the product, he was giving an editorial on his experience with firearms and why he doesn't like them. Whoever the dumbfuck is that assigned a guy who doesn't like guns to review a gun simulator is just as retarded, unless they did it on purpose to push an agenda, and then it comes back to the fact that this guy should be able to separate work and his personal views, which is what makes him a little bitch. He needs to take notes from Jim Carrey. Overall, polygon is shitty in general and we should do our best to ignore their existence altogether.

Everything about the video makes a lot more sense when you play this in the background: [video=youtube;-pTPg9XTLhY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pTPg9XTLhY[/video]

This looks like me trying to play anything with a controller. Thumbsticks are so foreign to me by this point.

From the bit I've seen, he doesn't miss shots, well less than the Polygon guy.

[IMG]http://abload.de/img/doom3copy3bsdp.jpg[/IMG] [sp]Quote actually comes from a Gamespot review of Alien Resurrection for the PS2 back in 2000[/sp]

It's as if this situation occurred before they recorded the video: *The lead Journalist for Doom at Polygon walks into the room* "Hey Jimmy you're good at these here video games right?" "Yeah...I think so." "Alright take this controller into that room and record yourself playing Doom for 30 minutes" "B-But i've never touched a controller in my life. I'm a hardcore Candy Crusher" "Jimmy do you like being employed?" *Jimmy walks into the room*

[QUOTE=proboardslol;50333483]This looks like me trying to play anything with a controller. Thumbsticks are so foreign to me by this point.[/QUOTE] I can't play for shit with a controller anymore (although I used to be great at Halo) but even I'm better at console shooters than these guys. It's not just about skill it's about basic game knowledge, even if I can't use a controller for shit I at least know what I should be doing. I'm really worried if professional game critics don't understand how the most simple first person shooter works.
