Elon Musk: "Video game ”journalism” is garbage"

This is next level meatmuching dude. And the fact that you're doing this for free is both hilarious and pathetic

I mean leaving aside a select few in this industry the whole "gaming journalism" is just people with literature/arts degrees writing blog posts about games as they aren't good enough to write scripts for Hollywood. No wonder when Disco Elysium released, the writing in that game was so good, like ridiculously fragrant, these gaming journalists in disguise jizzed themselves over and over again.

btw, Disco Elysium imo is pretentious drivel, a vanity art-piece, made with skill and mastery, so good that shouldn't be clubbed with games as these shelves also have Dragon Age: Veilguard, Spiderman 2, GoW Ragnorok and Days Gone. The writing and delivery in Disco Elysium is superior to any game I have played and I hate it as it should have been a book not a game.

If you don't see, nor want to understand that it was NOT a "Nazi Salute".

Well then ~ that's on you buddy....and there really isn't much more to say.

I don't waste my time on lemmings.

He's right.

Compare gaming journalism, reviews (and their review scores) and politics involved vs. TV/movie reviewers who have no problem ragging on shit content giving it a 1-star leading to junky RT ratings.

One side is scared shitless and always eager to hype up content like grifters. The other side doesn't give a shit.

Put it this way. I think RT considers the movie fresh if it get an above avg score. Then it gets combined with the bad reviews to get that overall tomatometer rating.

If video games used the same methodology, probably 98% of games would get a fresh rating since almost all games get rated on the 6-10 scale.

You can't really compare reviews for movies and games. Movies review formats go back much further and traditionally used a 1-5 scale. For whatever reason when gaming started they were using a 100 point scale, particularly the big sites like IGN and Gamespot. Eventually those shifted to a 10 point scale but the precedent was already formed and sites like Gamerankings then Metacritic became popular for games

That's why nobody uses Metacritic for movies
 
I get amusement out of the people who spend all day hating this man for simply existing lol.
lol can’t blame them when he pops up on people feeds every week with more shit to say but I also get irritated by people who seeks out attention like a toddler when they’re grown ass adults

But we can still see the shift in gaming scores to almost all 6-10. Back in the 80s and 90s, game mags grilled games no problem with terrible scores. A 6-10 scale to me means every game in this range is above avg which is definitely not true. So few games get scored lower than 5/10 theres not even a point most of the time.

In movies they usually use 4 or 5 star ratings for their reviews. But probably no movie critic uses their scale giving out minimum 2/4 or 3/5 stars like gaming sites giving mostly 6-10/10.

Movie reviews stayed true to bad and good scores like nothing changed.

That's the dumbest reach I've ever seen.



She waved at people, not the same thing at all. You flip an image and freeze it it doesn't become like a salute no matter how hard you try.



That's where the nazis got it from, somewhere else. Along with their symbol and their "race".

sorry but no
it said in the other post

taylor swift is now officially a nazi.

i will be removing my taylor swift fleshlight

there are a lot of people who are quick to say Elon is a Nazi, but I don’t believe he is. However, I can tell you 100% that he has an agenda. The same week he made that pose, he visited the AfD party in Germany, which has had its own controversies involving neo-Nazi connections over the years. Everyone has different opinions on it, but personally, I don’t tolerate bad behavior. I don’t care if you do good things— it doesn’t excuse the bad things you’re doing. But I guess we live in a world where virtue is becoming a thing of the past.

you took a still image, go find the video or gif of both and post those side by side and youll see. This is just plain retarded and i hate taylor but she did not do the same thing he did. You should be fucking embarrassed for even thinking its the same thing


There are 2 other videos/animations of AOC & Kamala (just as posted about Musk) that you didn't respond to.

Funny how that works.

Disliking Elon is not controversial, i can obviously understand. Some of its criticism, namely when its focused on his management is absurd tho.

But disliking him because of some random gesture is plain idiotic. At least be humble about it and own it. You irrationally hate him, you've been probably fed some bullshit about him, ate it like a piece of pie and want to scream it from the top of your lungs. Ok, but make no mistake, you look like a fool.
