I hate Eurogamer

[DJOGamer PT]

Reading these comments I'm thinking Miyazaki was even more cunning I thought.

He deliberately designed Dark Souls so that edgelords could claim it IS and simultaneously ISN'T hard.

It's only hard for people who have never played games with decent action combat.

I always knew they were mainstream scum that were paid for good reviews and paid to hype certain games, they proved that when Witcher 3 had full page ads and articles about it every day for 2 weeks up to and after release, but right now they have a "games of the decade" thing up to new year... So far they have Skyrim, Dark Souls, and GTA Online as games of the decade. Cunts.

Everquest is your favourite game. I thought you were monocled. Why the fuck are you reading Eurogamer?

I don't know where else to look at mainstream game releases, besides Steam. I read a few other sites too like RPS, but they are owned by the same people apparently. I mostly only read it to see what new games are coming out. I stopped caring about their opinions long ago when they gave Mafia 4/10, Skyrim 10/10, Bioshit 10/10, DA2 8/10. They are clearly paid off.

Christ, RPS is the worst. Have you seen their staff? They're more concerned with hiring trannies and gays than anything else.

Are there any that aren't terrible?

Not that I'm aware of. It's the lack of decent review sites that drove me to search out forums such as this.

Honestly, I RPS articles long ago. Good old Johnny Walker made such cringe material that I felt like I was reading some sort of Illuminati recruitment guide. That was before Gamergate even happened. I swear to god these fucks went to Tavistock for their journo creds. Tavistock or aliens, one of the two.

If you go to a game website to read a review on a fantasy RPG game, and instead you get a 50,000 word diatribe about global warming, it's a good indicator to beat yer feet from said game website.

tbh - I "outsorced" looking for releases and opinions/reviews on "gaming" websites and just use Codex forums. If I'm feeling like playing a certain type of game I just scroll through one of the Subforums and find something I like.

I just can't deal with gaming sites anymore - if I want to hear about a certain social/political topic I sure as hell won't hear it from a gaming "journo" whose only knowledge comes from twitter/fb and blogs.
I just want to read about games on a gaming site.
