Why is casual racism/sexism more accepted in video games than other forms of media (these days)?

^ But are these numbers in base 2 or base 10? Is DJP actually a biased Mac gamer?

caucasity and the sundance kid (goole), Monday, 27 October 2014 17:35 (nine years ago) link

Our mission is to bring you the most objective video game reviews on the Internet.

Why? Because you’ve asked for them.

For years, gamers have called for reviews to be more objective. Every few months, there is some controversy about a new game that got a score that was too high or too low. Gamers blame the opinions of those who write reviews. Game journalists have their own ideas about what makes a game good or bad, and these ideas influence the score they give to games.

Enter Objective Game Reviews.

We solve this problem by reviewing games without letting our personal opinion get in the way. All of the reviews we write are 100% objective, guaranteed. When you read a game review from Objective Game Reviews, you can trust that what we say is not based on our own biases or opinions.

No more opinion. No more subjectivity. No more controversy.

Here at Objective Game Reviews, you can finally read a review without worrying about the opinion of the author. So, go ahead! Browse our reviews and discover a new game you will love!

The graphics in BioShock Infinite are in a realistic style, with the exception of the woman Booker aims to retrieve, Elizabeth, who has eyes that are larger than actual eyes.

yeah even the fig leaf of "ethics" has nothing to do with "how dare these pixel-stained wretches accept free hors d'oeuvres at the Activision party" and everything to do with "how dare these pixel-stained wretches review cultural artifacts as artifacts of culture"

I just realized that Objective Game Reviews tags all of its reviews with the eventual score so there is literally no reason to read any of their reviews aside from lols

kissaroo and Tyler, too (DJP), Monday, 27 October 2014 18:08 (nine years ago) link

not to just link these guys all the time, but this is still an ultimate classic and more relevant every day: http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/39.html

Game developers have known the answer to the first question since the early 1980's: ammo and health can be hidden inside crates or sometimes barrels. As often happens, the answer to the second question was hidden in plain sight within the answer to the first. All games contain crates, therefore all games can be judged empirically on those crates.

Once we came up with that insight, the actual formula for the world's first completely unbiased review methodology was a trivial matter of applying our many hours spent watching actors portray scientists on television to our hatred of crates. Games can be rated and compared based on the shortest amount of time it takes a player to reach the first crate, which represents the point where the developers ran out of ideas.

The music in Titanfall is in an orchestral style.

B:I review does not state that it takes place in an alternate history, just objective, historically accurate "1912".

Sorry if this was already clear to everyone but based on the Subjective Reviewer of the Month feature and their choice of interviewees I'm very confident that the rest of the site is indeed satire.

learning about matt forney vs learning about wizardchan as the most vomitous fallout of all this

like obv there has been way worse stuff but I expect that terrible stuff. I somehow don't expect matt forney.

Clay, Monday, 27 October 2014 18:53 (nine years ago) link

feel like matt forney is funnier because of his sorry ass self promoting media wannabe moves where wizardchan is just depressing and deeply strange

What is Matt Forney

If he's comparable to Wizardchan then I don't want to know. One Wizardchan was enough.

this is just an incredible perfect storm for so many different groups that are loathsome. gamer misogynists, twitter bigots, breitbart-affiliated dbags, right wing hollywood cretins, PUA bloggers, caveman diet practitioners, etc.
