Is this a good thread to talk about how there will never be a good "games" ceremony (like the Oscars) because there isn't an adversarial press, just enthusiasts and access whores?

(This whole paragraph redacted because there are selectively enforced rules about discussing this kind of thing) it was poisoning the well for actual criticism of the extended PR arm that passes for games journalism nowadays.

Also redacted)

But making it impossible to talk about games journalism comes in a distant second!

Did you just come through a wormhole from 2002 where McGriddles were being plastered on the IGN site and sites were using numbers or easily deciphered smiley faces to communicate a game’s value at a glance without having to wade through a poorly written novella that is almost as much about the author as the game itself? I ask because every dipshit in games writing now has a filing cabinet full of Spicy Hot Takes why a game/game series/most games/all games/gamers are, in fact, bad. It’s enough to make one nostalgic for the days when the Jack Thompson wasn’t coming from inside the house.

I want the games press to tell me if a game looks good, sounds good, plays good, and that is increasingly hard to find done well. I don’t need a fuckin’ treatise or dissertation in my review of shooty man 2K18.

Either 100% or none. If nothing else the whole game awards thing does seem capable of slowly learning from its mistakes.

Trouble is they make so many mistakes on a yearly basis that they can only fix so much.
