I absolutely adore the juxtaposition of Coney approaching the anti-feminist criticism of GTA with a lot of nuance, exploring places like “Okay sure, but maybe that was the point?” “Well for a game of its era maybe it was still a valid criticism.” etc. and having healthy discussion with chat, Then you have Angry British Gamer who immediately goes “THE REVIEWER SLORPED THE FEMINIST FREQUENCY JUICE”

He'll also engage with chatters, and he never seems too dug in to shift his opinion if presented with a better argument.

Even if a game is fun to traverse in, having a fast travel feature is nice. I love driving pirate ships in black flag, but when I’ve got a mission across the entire map I like that I have the option to just go right to it. Driving in GTA is fun, and they’ve even got planes, but I still like that I have the option to take a taxi when I want. Even in Spider-Man there’s moments where the subway is helpful. I don’t see how having fast travel can be a negative for a game, just don’t use it

[@jak199527]

I think the gta problem is fact the gta is a game where basically everyone is a shit person, but the women are only shit people in the most stereotypical ways possible. The probably mostly comes from the fact that there really aren't too many actually important female characters in it in the first place, which can be seen as a problem itself.

[@XetXetable]

I think this criticism only makes sense if you don't actually pay attention to the characters. Amanda, for instance, is certainly not a stereotype. Boiling her down to a "disgruntled wife" is either ignorance or dishonesty. It requires ignoring basically all actual interactions she has in the game.

[@goggles8691]

​@@XetXetableeven in games, gamer are nigh incapable of interacting with women, so honestly it tracks

Exactly. It's not as simple as "good or bad" Also since when is being a prostitute a bad thing? That was never meant to be a discrediting of the women, it was discrediting the narrow view of womanhood the devs have

I can’t remember her name, but the girl Franklin gets with is a fairly important, but I think not remembering her name is proof she wasn’t nearly as important as other people. She was also a good person, as far as gta characters go

[@jak199527]

[@hp8167]

Game criticism is such a volatile tightrope. Once many gamers decide their own personal rating of a game and go to a review of it, their preconceived expectations are premeditated resentments. If the review differs any from how they rated the game or the game is critiqued in a way, the review is automatically terrible. There is of course some nuance. Sometimes criticism just aren't valid (Battle for Bikini Bottom getting a 2 is crazy) or if a reviewer isn't a fan of a series, some callbacks don't register to them, but sometimes it genuinely is the gamers. Like saying no one wants to think about the morality of their actions in a zombie game is kind of stupid in a story heavy game.

[@darkknightgamer123]

Shoutouts to the chatter at 15:15 with the 'my name is skyler white yo' bit Fantastic joke

[@LTPrototype]

Bro is onto nothing tbh. Saying no one wants to think about the morality of their actions in a zombie game is like saying Starship Troopers is about how cool war is. Like sure, there's room for mindless zombie killing in Left 4 Dead and the like but questions like 'who are the real monsters, the zombies or us' are the core of the genre to an almost cliched extent. And at the end of it all dude is caping for mfing Days Gone, so he clearly has zero investment in the games themselves and is just out here looking for fights to pick.

[@arvidbergman]

you say this as if the british guy doesn't *definitely* regard starship troopers that exact way lol

[@goggles8691]

Personally, I think that the "exaggerated swagger" line is actually just straight good, but not when you say it out loud, especially if the person saying it is white

[@supermarty564]

Gamers have real issues with reviews. They see them as publicity instead of a guys opinion. Very telling that the reviewers are never seen as a person, they're anonymous blobs like websites.

[@Gpop119]

I agree with this, but I think the issue is that they are representing the company itself for the review, which is where the issue comes in. That's why CONEY said he appreciates where he is now, that he can give his own critique and reviews as one person and not as an entire entity.

[@PokeBallerLuke]

no joke, to me Coney is someone who I think is truly talented at expressing his thoughts and opinions. I almost wish he would do reviews Dunkview style

[@mithrilld]

As a rule I see some capital G Gamer getting mouth-frothingly mad about games journalism as a red flag. That has been a cover for the most unhinged bigoted takes for, not joking, 10 years by now.

[@bibbyboxx2219]

Yeah, absolutely.

[@castform7]

Coney has the exaggerated swagger of a middle aged stream. But on a serious note, I feel like the line was just one that might have needed another draft (and also maybe someone who's actually black talking about it). If the writer wanted to voice how he felt about Miles representation in the game, I would want him to but it's in the same vein as "too much water" being a fair critique that didn't have the right words to back it up.

[@ellie8272]

If you want games to be considered an art form, then you have to be willing to accept criticism of that art I think people's problem with the way women are presented isn't that they're all bad, it's that they're all bad in woman-specific ways. A woman that acts like Trevor would break away from traditional roles, and could be fun and refreshing

[@theturtleking2454]

The gta criticism is completely valid because the game often serves as a power trip/power fantasy for the player, but the whole story is seen through the eyes of a male and that power fantasy is very male driven. It’s not a women’s power fantasy, if that makes sense. I know you touched more upon that in the stream tho

[@FerousFolly]

yeah no not really, it's honestly just accurate, black american culture is very expressive and it's exaggerated amongst black youth because all teens exaggerate whatever behaviours they most strongly identify with (e.g. performative wealth for a rich kid, excess gloominess for an emo kid, voilence for an abused kid, etc). losing or reducing your exaggerated mannerisms is a key indicator of maturation in all of humanity as far as I'm aware. it was only cringe because they made the awful decision to have a white guy read a script drawing on the author's personal experience as a black guy.

[@ellie8272]

I genuinely don't understand why a black dude seeing the eccentricities of his own culture (and talking about them positively) is racist I think people are just defining racism as "anything that suggests black people and white people act different" which... isn't really how it works.

Reviews are great but scores are cringe. Gamers consistently showcase how unable they are at accurately interpreting a basic numeric scale even when the reviewers explain the scale in plain english. Its a useless metric for the most part and suffocates so much discussion around the review itself.

[@SomniaCE]

Ultimately the problem with videos like this and the dislikes in general is that people will just be angry that the reviewer didn't agree with the established opinion of the game. When the games aren't even out yet, it makes a deluge of negative reactions to a review all the more pathetic. People don't want reviewers, they want someone to affirm their bias and tell them "you're OBJECTIVELY correct don't worry sweetie opinions dont exist."

Dusk and Prodeus were the main indie games in this genre I played, then a few years later I bought Quake 1 and 2 remastered and proceeded to play them for the first time.

Fun fact about the Mad max game. The creator of the mad max films George Miller had Mad max fury road in production hell for like 30 years, and he tried to make multiple video games in the mid 2000s when he thought he couldn’t make fury road. So the Mad max game uses key parts of Fury roads plot like the war boys and Gas town but it’s unconnected to the final film that released in the same year. George actually ended up disowning the game because he wasn’t aware that the devs were adapting his story

[@Keijoz]

On the cyberpunk review he makes an overly charitable interpretation based on not having all the information. While yes, its fine to review a game while not engaging with some parts of it. It comes with caveats like informing the consumer of the fact. And if youre actively not engaging in mechanics then you cant review those mechanics. A review of "the games good but i dont care about crafting so i didnt touch it" is fine. But a review of "the games good but the crafting is bad tho how would i know since i didnt touch it." Is not fine. Also the whole police thing wasnt cause its an unimportant emergent side quest, but because it was 2020 so ACAB was a big thing so she thought shed get brownie points by advertising having actively avoided engaging with any content where you would help police

Also I said it once before so I’ll say it again Alien Isolation is not trying to be a badass shooter. It’s trying to be a “HORROR” game and the best horror games have slow build ups that proceed to reach climax. The game isn’t bad just because you don’t like it’s gameplay philosophy. It’s the same with turn based combat if you don’t like it then don’t play it. I really like the phrase “there’s no such thing as a game for everyone and that’s a good thing”. Sorry man but gamers want products that challenge their patience and intelligence. And thankfully Indie and double A games do that, were as the Triple A industry produces the same tired formulas over and over again. And it’s sad that the Triple A industry, and TikTok for that matter has ruined people’s attention spans to the point where any games that don’t tug the player along with a string or lack any trust that they can figure things out for themselves (yellow paint I’m looking at you) is considered inherently outdated or can no longer be praised.
