Guise of the Wolf developers, threaten TotalBiscuit over poor review. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;43940361]thats why killuah has that title, im not even kidding theres a reason hes generally considered a worse poster than me[/QUOTE] Honestly I thought peoples' opinions on Killuah were exaggerated like a lot of the people the GMF hates but he just keeps proving me wrong every single time I see him post. And of course he seems to be completely blind to the idea that the issue might just be him.

to be fair tb is a bit of a cunt

[QUOTE=ijyt;43940522]to be fair tb is a bit of a cunt[/QUOTE] Might wanna listen to this. [url]https://soundcloud.com/totalbiscuit/nonsense[/url] I'm not trying to spite you or anything, it just gives an interesting view.

[QUOTE=ijyt;43940522]to be fair tb is a bit of a cunt[/QUOTE] Not at all relevant

[QUOTE=itisjuly;43939610]To be fair if it takes a couple of hours before it gets good I'd question the quality of that game even more.[/QUOTE] it will vary from game to game but there might be some games that start off good and get worse later on.

[QUOTE=ijyt;43940522]to be fair tb is a bit of a cunt[/QUOTE] He uses his pull in the industry to get important issues to surface. He holds himself to a high standard of audio and visual quality when making videos, going so far as having an extremely high quality setup and not screeching into a crappy mic with a facecam. Posts honest first impressions, is always fair and shows an unbiased look at whatever it is he is playing. Does charity events and even showed us the pictures of the wells the money helped to restore and dig when we asked. Loves meeting people at events and will gladly sign stuff for you and talk with about whatever while he has the time and is actually extremely pleasant and loves to talk to people about gaming, it's really fun. What a jerk right? He's not a saint, but is actually very nice and loves to just chat and be chill when you see him. I have a feeling your extremely well educated view on him is based on the average edgy reddit kid that hates him because he yelled at them for being an idiot.

[QUOTE=Killuah;43938482]A first impression is not always accurate, it's judging a book by its first few pages. Of course you'll see if the book has a good writing style(or translated: gameplay and production value) but you won't know wheather the game is good or not.[/quote] Yeah but you should know this when you decide to watch a first impression video. [quote]Imagine getting a first impression of the first hour of Sim City 5 or worse: Spore.[/quote] Don't know about Sim City 5 but Spore is pretty fun the first hour but that's besides the point, why would you get the wrong impression of those games from only watching the first hour? [quote]Yeah, he's an...opinion....er? He's not a critic either. He's yellow press. Just like Fox News is not a proper news show or The Sun is not a proper Newspaper.[/quote] What exactly is the real issue with this? [quote]I don't disagree here I just say he's a dick sometimes and by living off that and gaining views off it you gotta expect to have a stressfull time. Yahtzee is much like him and he knows that people are often pissed and he expects it.[/quote] I really don't get the impression TB isn't more pissed than other people or stressed out by assholes, and he's not a dick like ever, you still haven't provided anything to back that up with, he does not gain views because he's a dick, he gains views because he's honest, well-informed, smart and experienced which makes his opinions valuable to anyone who is considering getting a game? [quote]Judging something off it's first impression isn't really fair or professional.[/QUOTE] Why not? Tell me a game he has made a first impression of and either praised or criticized that have turned out to be the opposite, really good or really bad, when you look at the whole game.

I hate his videos because I can't change the fov on them

If NO FUN games want to take his video down They could simply contact youtube :v:

[QUOTE=Mitchel.;43944216]If NO FUN games want to take his video down They could simply contact youtube :v:[/QUOTE] They did, and it got taken down. Afaik, his video counts as "Fair-Use", and youtube [I]shouldn't[/I] remove it, but youtube tells you to resolve the issue with the party that filed the DMCA. He has had his videos removed in the past, and then got them back again.

Heh. I remember him squealing like a fangirl when he reviewed WH40K: Space Marine. Not the most unbiased of videos, but listening to him giggle like a pre-pubescent monkey was hilarious.

Any updates on whats going on with this?

[QUOTE=D3vils Buddy;43945021]Any updates on whats going on with this?[/QUOTE] No, and there probably won't be anytime soon since there's lawyers and shit involved now.

Completely forgot I posted, to answer the question of what he did: I vaguely remember him shouting/saying over a microphone "Could somebody get this guy off the stage please" Something like that anyway... :v:

[QUOTE=SIRIUS;43940583]Not at all relevant[/QUOTE] sure it is the article involves tb and he's a bit of a arrogant, egotistical cunt x)

[QUOTE=ijyt;43945098]sure it is the article involves tb and he's a bit of a arrogant, egotistical cunt x)[/QUOTE] Then you can do us all a favor by lurking this thread over posting in it. Do you have anything meaningful to bring to this thread?

x)

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;43945041]No, and there probably won't be anytime soon since there's lawyers and shit involved now.[/QUOTE] wait, the Guise of the Wolf developers actually had lawyers?

[QUOTE=Mr.95;43945558]wait, the Guise of the Wolf developers actually had lawyers?[/QUOTE] Maker lawyers, not fun creator lawyers.

[QUOTE=ijyt;43945098]sure it is the article involves tb and he's a bit of a arrogant, egotistical cunt x)[/QUOTE] That's a nice opinion there, but I don't see why anyone should give a fuck when you aren't giving actual information and just your shitty opinion that contributes nothing to the thread.

[QUOTE=ijyt;43945098]sure it is the article involves tb and he's a bit of a arrogant, egotistical cunt x)[/QUOTE] I guess you haven't read the thread, but you have the wrong perception of TB and you may read the thread if you want to know why.

[QUOTE=layla;43936132]I also remember one of the devs asking for someone to make a couple of models for 100 dollars. Everyone kept telling him that wasn't enough for the amount of work he was asking. He was adamant that it was a lot of money and everyone was dumb.[/QUOTE] $20 says the devs started out as ideas guys asking for help making the game altogether

[QUOTE=Killuah;43937760]He does what Yahtzee does, he prefers doing opinion pieces instead of reviews so he has an excuse for not bothering with fairness or professionalism at all. [B]Basically he's the Yellow Press of videogame commentary[/B], he lives of the lowest common denominator, the "wow look at that at least my game/I/Our Community/my favourite developer is not THAT bad"-factor.[/QUOTE] I think TB is a gigantic twat, but good god calling him the "Yellow Press of videogame commentary"? That is a hell of an exaggeration. And comparing him to Yahtzee is just scummy as fuck.

[QUOTE=FlakAttack;43946026]I think TB is a gigantic twat, but good god calling him the "Yellow Press of videogame commentary"? That is a hell of an exaggeration. And comparing him to Yahtzee is just scummy as fuck.[/QUOTE] TB is apparently a nice guy, it's just that he decided to act like a twat in his videos (hence his original nickname for his videos and so forth) but he made a terrible job at actually showing that's only in his videos and it ended up damaging his whole channel more than anything. If he had stuck to more genuine stuff I don't think his current situation would be as stressful.

[QUOTE=Crimor;43945651]Maker lawyers, not fun creator lawyers.[/QUOTE] Wait who is Maker? When did they get involved and how?

[QUOTE=Robber;43947622]Wait who is Maker? When did they get involved and how?[/QUOTE] Maker studios, the company that owns Polaris, who Totalbiscuit has a contract with.

[QUOTE=MrJazzy;43945745]I guess you haven't read the thread, but you have the wrong perception of TB and you may read the thread if you want to know why.[/QUOTE] sorry that i dont fan wank over him like the rest

[quote]I've read so many people with their "advice", oh... you should get a thicker skin! You should just ignore it! Those people have no idea of the volume of it all, or how constant it is, it never stops, it's day in day out 24/7, no end in sight noise. So many people talking at once... It's death by a thousand cuts. That thick skin isn't invincible, occassionally it buckles and when it does I tend to react badly. I'm not sure you actually understand just how fucked up I am. My hair is going grey, not to mention it's falling out. Yeah, my hair is grey at 29. Great right? I'm pretty sure I have chronic health problems that have been made far worse by stress. I'm even worried one of them might be life-threatening and I'm getting really paranoid about it. I fucking eat because I'm sad or angry or whatever, I have days where what should be a dream job is something I don't even want to think about doing. I'm seriously fucked in the head and I have been for a very long time. I CANNOT stop reading feedback. I can't just leave comments. I gave my Twitter to my staff months ago to try and stop me from reading it, which actually worked surprisingly. Turning off Youtube comments was great and for a while the subreddit was small enough and friendly enough that I could actually handle dealing with it. Now I dread reading it every morning and I CAN'T STOP MYSELF. God how many times have I tried to "get better?" over the last few years? Every time it's fucking failed, every time and I hate myself for it.[/quote] [url]https://soundcloud.com/totalbiscuit/nonsense[/url] Yeah what a cunt.

[QUOTE=ijyt;43947874]sorry that i dont fan wank over him like the rest[/QUOTE] Oh Christ, not this shit again. In pretty much every thread regarding a divisive person or thing, someone always pops up and says that anyone who doesn't hate that divisive person/thing like they do must love it to the point of worship. As much as you'd like to assume not fervently hating someone equals the polar opposite of wanting to lick their boots clean, that's almost never the case. As a matter of fact, a good number of people don't like TB's overall personality, but still find his various videos helpful, myself included. I think he can be a bit of a dick at times, such as flippantly dismissing a different YouTube content producer in some manner I can't exactly remember, but that doesn't invalidate the usefulness of his videos. What it all boils down to is, some people have an opinion on something that differs from your own, and that's not a bad thing. Also, just because the person doing a review of something in which they frequently point out objective problems such as broken shit and bugs galore has an opinion and a personality, does not mean that said objective problems cease being problems just because you don't like the person pointing them out. Basically, some people have differing opinions, and that's alright. Doesn't make them 100% haters or 100% loyal fans, just because they're thinking differently from you. Also, broken shit in a game does not get invalidated just because you dislike the guy pointing it out. One more thing, it's generally a very bad idea to derogate the people you disagree with for no reason if you want them to change their thinking. Insults tend to make people pay less attention to you, fyi.

it takes quite the [QUOTE=ijyt;43945098]egotistical cunt x)[/QUOTE] to throw unpopular opinion as hard fact and paint opposition as blind crybabies wanking about how great their views are this rolls all directions but it takes some extra oomph to be the pot complaining about how black the kettle is
