Metal Gear Survive Angry Review - General

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;53176859]no matter how you spin it, they're reviews in all but the title of the video.[/QUOTE] Not every gameplay video with commentary is a review.

[QUOTE=NoOneKnowsMe;53176868]Not every gameplay video with commentary is a review.[/QUOTE] :what: Did you even watch the videos in question? It's painfully obvious they're reviews with the word "review" conveniently left out of the title. They gave their thoughts on the game as a whole, but oh no it's not called a review so that doesn't count!!! Jim literally says he's not even going to make another video on it because it's a shit game that isn't worth it, and Dunkey calls it "Worse than Mass Effect Andromeda". You can't make statements like that over a "first impressions" video.

[URL="http://www.thejimquisition.com/category/reviews/"]Here[/URL] are his reviews, if you are curious. Dunkey uses "dunkview" to tag his review-like videos. You can dumb me all you want, they aren't reviews.

If you come to a permanent consensus on something, that's essentially their 'review'. Calling a game shit after playing it is their view. Which... they re-view in the last minute(s) of their videos.

The title of the video means jack shit when the content of the video doesn't match up. If you're really going to stick to "But the title says it's not a review" then Jim's video is clickbait, Dunkey's video is just a comedy bit, and neither should be taken seriously until they release an actual video with "REVIEW" in the title.

They don't have to be reviews for them to be misrepresentations of the game. Dunkey said you run out of stamina after 2 seconds while in the full game you have far more stamina than he displayed even from the start. He refused to drink water, lowering his stamina, and lied about the game. There's no way he could miss the prompt telling you that thirst affects your stamina metre as you have to hold a button to remove the message which covers the entire screen. Jim and Dunkey's videos aren't reviews, but they are still filled with falsehoods. Many people take their videos as accurate reviews and they know this. It doesn't matter if it's not an actual review they still shouldn't lie about the game.

When someone makes a video to show why they aren't doing a review of it (because they don't like it at all - which is why they make a video to give reasons for it), it's not a review.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;53177023]they give reasons as to why they don't like the game. is this not what reviewers do?[/QUOTE] Sure, but they usually play through the whole game. That's my point. Someone criticized that they didn't play through the whole game for their review - but they aren't reviews (besides Angry Joe), so I don't see why that standard should apply to them.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;53177023]they give reasons as to why they don't like the game. is this not what reviewers do?[/QUOTE] People will defend tooth and nail over people not liking said game, this thread is a huge example of that.

If people don't like this game, that's fine. Is it the worst game ever? No. I've enjoyed it, and played the shit out of it, but I'd give is a 5 or a 6.

[QUOTE=omarfr;53173530] Kingdom Hearts 2 had a shitty intro but the mechanics were still fun.[/QUOTE] I would rather read 12 novels worth of terrible Sora/Rikku fanfic than play through the intro to kingdom hearts 2 again i have a save right after all that bullshit for whenever I want to play through it again because jesus [I]christ[/I]

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;53177283]MGS is just a brand name now, it’s not Kojima’s brain child anymore. People need to get over this and move on already. [/QUOTE] Kojima is intrinsically tied to the franchise so i doubt the greater fandom will ever actually be able to accept that unless it was like, Rising 2, or something.
