We already know this is the year single player kicked 'games as a service' up and down the street but was it the year so many journos -many who got outed as sex pests or pedophiles- lost their mainstream credibility?

If its anything like Splatoon one it's very much not a singleplayer game and it's riddled with on-disc DLC locked behind the stupid overpriced plastic statues.
The only thing I know for sure about this year is that nintendrones don't feel any shame about their fanboyism and don't try and hide it anymore. "it's ok when Nintendo does it" Disgusting. Don't you have to pay to play online with the switch? Or do you just pay for the mobile app you're supposed to use for basic online functionality?

Simpler theory: Journos, like the mindless cocksucking, bootlickers they are, were told by EA and their other corporate masters to push the multiplayer/online only w/anemic single player meme because it makes more money for them. In exchange, Kotaku got promised a few extra "exclusive" interviews, continued review copy services, and an invitation to another review event where they'll get a free vacation to go review a game.

The one thing metacritic explains is what journos think of a title. You ran your cunt mouth about shit you didn't understand, and then you got blown the fuck out. Get the fuck over it. Now, what you should have done is used Wolfenstein TNC (88% metacritic) and Assassin's Creed Origins (85% metacritic) as an example of games that journos loved, and tirelessly shilled, but were extremely negatively received by users, resulting in DmC-tier articles bitching about how the age of singleplayer games is over.

They disowned you. They don't write articles for you anymore. They write articles for themselves, their friends, their corporate slave-drivers, and their investors. They write articles because its their job to make the 'right' games look good and shame the 'wrong' games into following their ideology. They write articles to push propaganda and social commentary about how diversity is great and straight white men are the devil.
They write articles for their purposes. Not to inform you. If you can't see this, go read Drunken Leigh's article again and remember that with that article, she denounced and disowned her primary consumer base.

I'm saying you could use their opinions to find quality by doing the opposite of what they want.
If they throw an autistic fit about a game, the game is good.
If they praise a game, then the game is shit.

Not really. Kotaku is only alive because of money. The medium is dying and nobody is willing to drop the stick and let it end. These fucks are so self-important that they refuse to listen to the blatant majority because they think they are on 'the right side of history.'
All journalism is the same. They lie and omit and collude and express their bias in the exact same way. Gaming is a microcosm of society as a whole. The progression of gaming as a media has always reflected the historical progression of art movements, except at a much faster pace.
Video games have always been art. Always will be art.
So, no. I'm really not okay. I'm mad. Mad about the shit that video games have become, when there was so much potential for what video games could be. I'm mad that things are so bad, because the only way to fix it is to crash the AAA market with no survivors
I'm depressed about everything that has happened, and nobody can or will do anything about it. It's time people actually stood up and told these fucking companies to stop this shit already. They will keep rotting our precious hobby, our lives as a whole away from the inside until they are forced to stop. And no, I don't just mean video games. Comcast and Time Warner need to shut the fuck up and do their damn jobs. Companies need to stop poisoning us in the name of profits, selling our personal data, and distracting us from the harsh reality we live in before someone takes it too far.

Something about the usage of the "white savior trope" that rubbed them the wrong way.

I want "journalists" to just start fucking dying. I've never seen such an insufferable, spoiled brat, retarded bunch of pieces of shit, ever.

I'm a weeb. And I don't have a victim complex because frankly I don't give a shit. Mainstream games media? Don't care. Mainstream games industry? Don't care. Gamer culture? Do. Not. Care.
What I do give a shit about is normalfags ruining my fun though.

What makes it a great game? The art and visual style are cool but I never gave it a second look because that appeared to be the game in a nutshell. Is it actually just a shmup as it appears? What of replay value? Why should I spend money on it when I have the entire mame library?
