Love it when REAL WOMEN show these hypocrites that they don't need protecting.

 

[Danjin44]

This is 100% real.

This is the state of our world right now.

Correction: This state of current western gaming culture.

So....does that mean reviewers might not review Catherine Full Body because sexy cover?

Well, happens with Dragon's Crown remember? The art box of Dragon's Crown get a rework after some jornalist whining about.
Or at least get awful reviews. And if I remember right fans of Catherine became very mad because of some censorship in this new version.
Unfortunately Atlus suffers in those journalist's hand.

edit: Still trying to find the old Dragon's Crown PRO artbox. They edit the Amazon butt.

 

[Danjin44]

I said this before but I FUCKING HATE modern western gaming culture, they fucking poison thats also starting to infecting Japanese games.

 

[Fake]

Hey, find for you.

I was a era member when they made a thread asking for the censorship.

 

[Danjin44]

such pointless censoring, even with the censored cover, if that someone not in to "sexy" design they still wouldn't pick this up.

 

[Sorne]

Aaaaaand of course he's related to PCGamer. Amateur site.

EDIT: Wait, is his twitter bio just stating that he IS a PC Gamer, or that he works for/with PCGamer? Either way, I still stand by my statement lol.

 

[LOLCats]

To be fair the artwork is reminscent of cheap 70's, 80's pulp novels.....maybe that was artists intent.

It's pretty damn garish to look at regardless of the cleavage.

To be fair, you sound like a pussy.

 

[Psykodad]

So:

Male reviewer - white knighting gone wrong

Female gamers - sexualized women = okay?

 

[Gamernyc78]

Did he get any brownie points from Reeee?

Lol idk hvnt gone there to see lol

 

[xGreir]

Matt, you are not gonna get laid like this, back up before it's too late!1!

 

[xGreir]

Hey, find for you.

shAME!11!!1

Didn't know this, still completing the game just pushing some fine Amazon Ass into the enemies faces

 

[desertdroog]

Good!

Not everyone is a sexless joy-kill.

 

[nkarafo]

These "game journalists" are as prudish as the right-wing Evangelicals back in the 90s.

But a lot more annoying.

At least these old skool evangelicals didn't do it to virtue signal. They were dumb but it's what they really believed.

 

[EightBit Man]

The average woman does not appreciate the nonsense spewed from these ignoramuses. They have no clue what women are like, and how they want to be treated. Hint: not being an overtly, pretentious "nice guy".

 

[Terenty]

After so many cases people like that journo should immeditely have their houses and computers searched by the police, probability of him turning out to be some kind of pedo or pervert is very high

 

[TLZ]

It's not that he doesn't want to review it that annoyed me. It's the part where he thinks he's that powerful or influential, it's in his hands to kill it off. Snap out of it, you're a nobody.

 

[Texas Pride]

One of lifes little pleasures is when dudes try white knighting for women and it backfires. Get woke become the joke guy.

 

[MeatSafeMurderer]

Ugh...boobies...my only weakness!

Most cases thats their biggest motivation, they are actively looking for to be offended and they want to be treated as "victim" so they can be popular and influential.

Make me wonder what will happen with all those folks when facebook/twitter/youtube remove the 'like' button.

 

[demigod]

It's okay to enjoy this body type. Our cleavage isn't gonna hurt you lol

I sure would love it if someone’s cleavage could hurt me.

 

[Chittagong]

Tbf this is probably the highest engagement he has ever got to his tweets. Which is why this virtue signaling bullshit is going through the roof. Some people will hate it, some people will like it, everybody will comment on it and share it.

But what an absolute state of low testosterone that guy is in, getting triggered by a very benign box art to the point his brain blocks all memories of scantily clad men on game covers from existence

 

[JORMBO]

I don't think this "journalist" ever talks to women.

 

[TheJoe]

To be fair, you sound like a pussy.

Nice critiscism

The art reminds me of a low effort version of dime store pulp novels you would see lined up near the check out

but they were trying make it look like Frank Frazetta's art work

And the color scheme and perspective clash horribly.

 

[hariseldon]

He wants to starve it of oxygen—>metaphor for killing something.

Which is his right, of course, but i think he overestimates the power of game critics.

See Kingdom Come Deliverance.

 

[cryogenic7]

Do these kinds of journalists think they're standing up for women's honor or something?

They think they'll get laid...

 

[GV82]

Oh man Cyberpunk is going to cause a LOT of problems when that comes out won’t it? It’s already been attacked several times.

 

[The_Mike]

They have to break their virginity sooner or later, right?


Ain't gonna happen with that though.

Seems there's a pool of about 20 freelancers working for all the various woke game sites these days and they're largely interchangeable.

A funny thing, John Walker was telling the story of how RPS was formed as he left and one of the things that led to it was the early days of magazines getting pissy if freelancers worked for multiple publications, and I can understand the frustration of that, after all people need to eat. It wouldn't have been such a problem then of course because they didn't rely quite so heavily on freelancers but what has happened as a result of the freelancer merry go round is that publications have lost the uniqueness of their voices, a product of overreliance on freelancers and of those freelancers not sticking to one publication. I won't get anything particularly different in any of them because it's the same people writing in all of them.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Did he get any brownie points from Reeee?

Wouldn't surprise me.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Guaranteed a poster there.

They better look who they're trying to make happy. Because this gonna backfire badly, knowing Era.

Oh boy another amazing opportunity to post this

I love this image. It reminds me of Waypoint, a very dead SJW site.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Oh boy another amazing opportunity to post this

I remember this. I kept laughing throughout the day, every time I thought about this soy geyser of a games 'journalist'.

 

[petran79]

The era where computer game journalists despise sexy covers while Nintendo journalists don't have an issue

 

[down 2 orth]

Oh man, I thought this was a new Shadowrun video game...

 

[Halo is Back]

But guys the female body is pretty scary

 

[Pallas]

I guess it’s his right not to review it but it’s also our right not to click any shit written by him.

Personally I think it’s pretty silly reason not to review a game, especially since journalists(let’s be real gaming journalism for the most part, is a fucking joke these days) are suppose to be unbiased and deliver the goods to the readers. I wonder what games he’s reviewed previously.

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

Great answer girls! I can't stand this generation of gamers, let alone those who call themselves game journalists.

 

[lukilladog]

He only reviews games with shirtless men on the box?. All right, to each his own.

 

[rolandss]

this is what happens when half your life’s meaning comes from the kudos and back patting you think you’ll get on Twitter by taking meaningless stands on things.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

This has got to be a joke. People wonder why I don’t take gaming journalists serious anymore. I honestly don’t even pay attention to them anymore because they care more about politics than gaming which is very unfair to the developers and gamers.

 

[sn0man]

Okay? I mean, I guess it's silly, but the dude isn't saying the game shouldn't be made or anything like that, he just doesn't want to review himself for that. For fuck's sake, is that really even an issue? James Rolfe didn't want to review the Ghostbusters reboot, and while I felt one shouldn't judge a movie until they've actually seen it, I still respect his right to feel that way. Same thing here even if I feel the reviewer is being a bit silly.

Also, if he's admitting that he likely couldn't give a fair review to the game due to this, then wouldn't actually not reviewing the game be the better option over giving a review that will likely be biased against the game from the get-go? You know, just saying.

Replying to this message but I’ve read a few of your other posts in this thread. I really appreciate the nuances and generally agree with your sentiments.

 

[DryPancakes]

Okay? I mean, I guess it's silly, but the dude isn't saying the game shouldn't be made or anything like that,

He did say "There really isn't any excuse for this kind of bullshit on game boxes any more", so yes, he is clearly saying this shouldn't be made anymore, of course he is not saying the game shouldn't be made, because he doesn't even know what the game is like.

 

[darkangel-212559]

Lol. What a idiot.

Clearly an incel hoping a woman might fuck him by going full SJW or what ever shit.

The reality is he'll stay an incel with people thinking he's a complete moron.

God gaming 'Journalism' is so trash these days.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

They think they'll get laid...

 

[thequestion]

Something seriously wrong is happening to a large portion of the people in the western world. It really feels like we are living inside the film: “Invasion of the body snatchers.” Straight men who behave like this “Journalist”, is down right terrifying. Was the government doing secret experiments to pregnant woman like in X-Files?

 

[DeepEnigma]

[bitbydeath]

Yep, this guy is guilty of something bad and is compensating.

No normal, healthy human acts like that.

He rapes, but he saves, and he saves more than he rapes. But he probably does rape.
