​@@mr.floofles3100You forgot the " you're criticizing the game. This is not a proper review."

This video validates my opinions. We really need more videos like these.

It's hard to imagine that there was a time when reviews were supposed to help inform your purchasing decision, and not validate a purchase that you've already made. Edit: Some people are misinterpreting this as "old good, new bad". That was not the intended takeaway at all; I'm merely making an observation on the changing market for game reviews. To further clarify, I think that the demographic of people who search out opinion content related to the media they're currently invested in has grown massively in the past few decades, and has mostly eclipsed the "help me decide whether I should buy this thing or not" crowd. Opinion content fills a void left by the decline in real-life friendships; validation of one's experiences must now be attained from the collective zeitgeist rather than from neighbors and colleagues. Mainstream review sites like IGN and Gamespot represent this zeitgeist to many people; to others, Twitter or Reddit does, etc. I'm not throwing shade at anyone, as I'm guilty of engaging in this behavior myself. I also didn't mention anything about industry-media relations, which is a separate topic entirely. Finally, there's a lot of really good opinion content out there that *is* designed for people who have already bought the thing in question, because of course nuance exists.

​@@CaptainDoomsdayYou have no idea what you're talking about. Yahtzee Croshaw doesn't optimize a goddamn thing when he's playing a game, with the only exception being if he has to smash through a boring game in just a weekend's time, and even then he'll outright say that that's what he did during the review video. He's consistent, and he's the perfect reviewer because of that. A game reviewer just needs consistency to be used as a tool to determine whether or not you might like a game they're reviewing. A reviewer who has loved every single Legend of Zelda game can't be trusted when they say the new Legend of Zelda game is a 10/10, but since Yahtzee Croshaw tends to shit on all the bad parts of even the video games he loves, him liking the new Legend of Zelda game actually means something. IGN is useless because most of their reviews are 7-10/10 scores, regardless of how bad the game is seen by the majority of its own players. To summarize this entire reply, Yahtzee doesn't need to have fun while playing a video game, _any_ video game, he just needs to have this same opinion about similar types of games so that when he has an out of place opinion, it stands out.

When in reality it only serves to muddy the waters for short period of time and causes no real change anyways. It’s for that reason the I prefer to keep my personal opinions to myself.

It’s for that reason that the public won’t ever receive a truly unbiased game review unless they watch someone on YT who seems fairly genuine (similar to Dunkey) Often times gamers feel insecure about their games because of numerous companies having problems within their workplace (Activison, Blizzard, Ubisoft, etc.) which causes them become overly cautious and at times paranoid with their decisions. All I can say is if you like something, then that’s ok. Not every opinion has to be based on someone else’s.

I was kind of zoning out after so many reviews and then "the exaggerated swagger of a black teen" hit me in the face like a bucket of cold water

I really loved this review of game reviews! I can tell that dunkey really is a very big fan of ign reviews and a man who truly understands the genre! I am glad they got him to review it, I doubt anyone else could have done as good a job as he.

Well done Dunkey. You made SURE it has a little something for everyone.

Gamers man. All they want to is to hear their opinion regurgitated. Thanks for the teaching me the secret Dunk, now I can become the most biased reviewer ever since that's what these people want.

The entire hate on critics for basically any form of media can be summed up in the sentence: “I hate you for having a different opinion on something that people should be able to have different opinions on!”

Well, in all honesty there’s usually two sides to this: 1) Industry Plants who were chosen to review games in the most obscure, non-relatable way possible to generate interest (or scrutiny) towards the company involved. 2) Someone who’s actually played the game itself and has various Pros and Cons about its gameplay and the creative process behind it. More often then not, you’ll probably see a lot more *_Option 1_* then you will of *_Option 2_*. But KZreadrs tend to give decent reviews every once in a while.

His opinion really sucks when it comes to plot heavy RPGs (regular ones, I can't stand JRPGs too, even though he gives them unfair criticism in certain situations). He has short attention span and needs instant gratification for his actions with rare exceptions otherwise the game is instadoodoo according to him. Also he values mechanical gameplay too much over everything else. If there is no gameplay that keeps you on your toes, he is lost. Such gameplay is obviously good quality, but its absence doesnt mean that the game is instantly 2/10

The only reviewer I watch is Dunkey, mostly out of convenience, but because of that I now have a good feel for how he approaches games. It’s like he said in a previous critique of reviews, the more you understand your reviewer, the more you get out of a review. If Dunkey says that a turn-based RPG is just ok, or decent, then I can be fairly certain I’ll enjoy that game because I know Dunkey isn’t a huge Turn-based fan. If Dunkey says a first person shooter is ok or decent, then I know I might like it, but not to have high expectations. If Dunkey ever says a mainline Mario game is ok or decent, someone at Nintendo fucked up.

@BradenBest

8 ай бұрын

I commented too soon. IGN saying "this game is a piece of shit, I hate it. 9/10" about pikmin slayed me. Also, the guy at the end raises a fair point. The short version (assuming I didn't misread something) is that IGN gave windwaker HD a higher score than the original when all it did was polish up the graphics, whereas when IGN originally reviewed xeno, they bitched about the graphics, and here, the remaster not only polished the graphics, but added content and fixed a bunch of gameplay issues. So by all logic, giving it a lower score makes no sense, especially when they bitched about the graphics in the first review. IGN isn't very consistent, though that's just what happens when you have 20+ different people writing the reviews. And graphics is a ridiculous thing to gripe about. People care way too much about graphics

As a kid in the 90s, I was reading different game magazines. I remember one that could be pretty brutal with its scores, really taking advantage of the entire spectrum. The top grades were so rare that I could afford to buy a lot of the games that got them, and they never disappointed. Really regretted spending my pocket money on a game that looked good but didnt get a top score, and I had to admit they were right after all.

There was magazines like EGM that had 4 people review the same game. It told you a little bit about the reviewer and what they currently enjoyed the most. Like the review for Turok on the N64 one reviewer gave it an 8 and another gave it a 5.5 with the other two giving it a 7. I feel that is a good way for an entity like IGN to review stuff. I cannot name any IGN reviewer and any IGN reviews are simply passed off as IGN.

The implication that this video makes is so on-point. Bad scores usually translate to backlash unless the game is deemed to be demonstrably bad by the community already (like Gollum), whereas great scores will be lauded and people will activate their weird ass "best IGN review in a decade" fetish. This happens every single time, and I hope it doesn't stop. Admittedly, that Xenoblade review was indeed originally super bad.
