Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Does anyone think that NeoGAF should become a full-fledged gaming review and news site?

If we can have our own game rating system, that would be cool. A proper one, where not anyone can vote. No room for review bombs. Only people presenting proof of playing the game long enough or better to completion can vote. Maybe post a screenshot of your trophies/achievements or play time, and wait for approval from mods. Only then your score is published.
Of course the score of a game is an average score of all scores/ratings submitted, as per usual. Let's call it Gamer Score/Rating instead of User. Let it reflect that Gamers actually played it. Not random nongamers review bombing for whatever reason.
An actual, proper game rating system. You don't have to be a journalist, you just need to be a gamer who actually played the game.

I think GAF works as it is. And it's not like we aren't receiving news and reviews, either directly or indirectly, through GAF either.

I think the gaming media is already dead. It all went WOKE. There's obviously not enough interesting things to actually write about in the gaming space anymore, so the obvious course and direction is political shock factor to draw clicks/impressions.
Do you really want NeoGAF associated with those clickbait news sites?

No... as it had turned into the "anti-Resetera" site... I do not care about politics in my video games at all, be it left- or right-sided.
I want to read about video games, and neither Resetera or NeoGaf are actually able to show this content without anybody trying to involve political sides or nuances in it.

No. I wouldn't look at the other stuff unless linked from the forums.
Wait. I would be fine if instead of pronouns we had icons representing our genitals. Or better yet GIFs so those in transition can keep us aware of their status.

I don't think it would work.
I used to religiously browse Quartertothree, and I loved Tom's reviews, but that's a different scenario, because Tom is a (somewhat infamously) renown jormalist/writer/reviewer, which EviLore isn't. And even though Nick Diamon's reviews, and the reviews of other contributors to that site, are generally a good read, they are not what I want out of that site.

So we can have a bunch of professional 'journalists' and reviewers dictate what we can talk about, eventually, and inevitably, based on their far left extremeist views, while being even more beholden to corporations and advertisers, just like every other shitty gaming website on the net?

No. Recognizing the general opinions of those who have like minded interests is good enough, and that's what the forum facilitates.

How would official reviews and news reports effect your ability to shitpost? The two have nothing to do with one another.

What's the point?
All reviewers are paid off in one way or another. We would just be flooded with even more shills than we do now.

I wouldn't mind a section where people want to write up reports (deep dives/retrospectives) in a section separate to the gaming and community threads. At worst its a blog section no one reads, if its works we may get more into reviewing games and more people to follow.
I was always interested in doing reviews preferably VR and comparisons such as E3 in different years or console releases and hype in gaming and how to not fall for the same mistakes. You know general bullshit.

I get all my news from NeoGaf anyway, so no. And reviews are too subjective anyway, what’s one more voice in a sea of assholes?
Plus to me it seems like NeoGaf is emerging as a very unique beast — an enthusiast gaming forum where a more wide array of viewpoints/discussion are welcome, that isn’t ruled and run by virtue signaling, Neo-Marxist, totalitarian, far-left SJW zealots.
Although to be honest, I’ve seen those voices expressed here and I’m fine with it — that’s the key — we can disagree on things, talk about them, and still come together as gamers.

I already find the site useful in its current form for rounding up news and for gathering consensus on games, although for the latter I think we're currently a bit too small and don't pay much attention to niche releases.
I kind of prefer the "raw" format of getting that info on forums and hearing dozens of opinions at once, so I don't feel like the addition of such a front page or whatever would be useful to me.

What about us shitposters?
Hard working people that want to log on NeoGAF at the end of their busy days and shitpost here and there. Folks been shitposting around these parts for generations. I myself come from a long line of shitposters. My Papi taught me shitposting... and his Papi before him!

A lot of folks on here wear their biases on their sleeves, some like a badge of honor. Nothing wrong with that, it makes for fun discussion, but it's not so great for evenhanded news/reviews.
I like Neogaf as a place that aggregates and picks apart news from elsewhere. It would be fun if we had more insiders/leaks like we did in the old days, but if that's what we have to give up to lose the atmosphere of insanity and wrong think witch hunts, I pay it gladly.
