Polygon PS4 12 hour discussion stream

Arthur was insufferably cynical during the Killzone section.

After the 5 minutes I did watch (as I couldn't last any longer) for once Arthur wasn't the most insufferable person in the room.

Chris Plante, my God man, 'Where's the Killzone?' 'Are we in the Killzone?' 'Ah, this is boring, I want to be in the Killzone' JeeeeeeSUS wept! Be quiet already!

That guy needs to realise that he just isn't funny, at all. What passes for humour over there fucking sucks the big one. Just give me the McElroy bro's, everyone else STFU.

Haven't click the link, but from the sounds of it this guys are insufferable.

Don't get me wrong, If Giantbomb makes a marathon stream about Xbox one or Ps4. I would watch it in a heartbeat.

IMO, never has their biases been shown so clearly as in this stream. Probably since it's unedited and we just straight up hear how they really think.

Shameful.

"i can't wait to sit down and watch 12 hours of chris plante painfully struggling to be funny in the same room as a ps4" - no one, ever
 
Yup. He almost seemed to be trying to demo the least interesting levels, and playing them in the most intentionally uninteresting way imaginable. It was almost like watching a kid smash his hands in his food because he doesn't want to eat it.
I made the mistake of listening to his KZ:SF video review... which was chock-full of monotone drivel about how Shadow Fall brought nothing new to the genre and was hard because it didn't provide a clear path via way finding HUD icons... Seems he likes games to hold his hand and does not realize that annual franchise shooters bring nothing new to the table (yet get favorable review scores).

He was just reading his review text.

Dumbest. Video. Review. Ever.

Nah Gies on Rebel FM pretty much showed the level of professionalism we're dealing with.
 
Okay, as if we needed any further proof.

How embarrassing to have a major organization be so highly unprofessional on absolutely so many levels.

Polygon is the worst site on the web.

Their reviews are pathetic and they usually try to get attention with them.

Gies, by the way, shouldn't have reviewed Killzone after this:

Did people really started digging and responding to 10 months old tweets from the guy? My god.

It doesn't help that they get clicks from GAF when someone throws up a link to review and says "Look at the score they gave LOL" and many of us go on to click it.

Can't think of anything more unappealing than Polygon spending 12 hrs being incredibly unfunny whilst shitting on the ps4

When examining them in an unfiltered situation, you realize they actually live up to all the things people say about them. Amazing.

I don't.

Polygon is a wonderful website; they took all the insufferably annoying, egotistical journalists from the industry and put them in one place that I never have to click.

Are they streaming this from a capture card? Or by the on board PS4 setup?

EDIT: Ugh, I can't watch this crap. These two guys (especially Gies) makes me wanna yank my eyes out.

They're heavily biased towards Sony & always likes to spread bad rumors, etc. about PS4 most of the time while thinking that everything's perfect on Xbox One.

That's one of the reasons why I don't take them seriously.

I agree. They should be banned just like they've banned other sites.

Damn, who the fuck is this other guy? So obnoxious.

"This isn't an apocalyptic game, why does it look like an apocalyptic game!?"

YO, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT.
