I have no problem with people liking or not liking things they are talking subjectively about.. But by his own admission he has no idea what even happened in the game past the initial game controls. Thats really all I meant to say.
For example, I was slamming on the RedFaction demo so badly the other day after playing it for about 10 minutes..., until a friend came by, played it, got the mech, started blowing crap up.. and then i was like.. wow.. i was wrong, while maybe this game isn't neccessarily my bag, i really did just write it off by only giving it a small amount of my attention.
now imagine if i was writing my opinion on that game on a gaming blog.
nothing says "credible games journalism" like giving a multi million dollar, pretty popular game with solid single and multiplayer 20 minutes of your Glorious life and then proceeding to talk about it like your opinion is useful.
you do post on a credible games news blog/site however, so i assume not every game you see or play is exactly what you were looking for, and i suggest you maybe not take on news assignments that you dont give F$&k all about.
at least the post got me to sign up for comments :)
To the fine marketing department that made this exceptional example of modern tastless marketing:
Thanks for putting a full 2 page spread of a dead naked whore on the first two pages of this month's Play magazine. The woman and her 8 yr old son sitting next to me in the airport really appreciated your content when i opened the magazine for the first time. I got the "what the hell are YOU reading" look.. and yeah. it was a game magazine. I think there was a review of Princess Peach a few pages later.
I was so pleased to see a debate about this article, as it invoked a strong "this is tasteless" reaction in me, and i thought I had no where to go :)
Hands-on: Lost Planet 2
