I don't understand why they let this guy cover this topic. He clearly knows next to nothing about the subject, has done little research, doesn't seem to make any genuine attempts to try and learn from a gamer's perspective and basically just tries to create a negative attitude towards gaming. Half the video isn't even about esports with focus on cosplaying and how games aren't as fun as other things like the 10 minute segment on clubbing. This wasn't really an insight into competitive gaming, rather it was more of a guy giving his opinion from an outside perspective and mostly just bashing on gaming culture

I was quite surprised to see that VICE had done so poorly on this documentary. They normally do their research beforehand like all the drug documentaries with that one single guy doing all of them. Why is there nobody that specialize in gaming or even just computers in general. (maybe computers is too broad) But either way, I was quite disappointed as well. I'd want people to see how vast of world of gaming has become, starting from when Starcraft 1 had become huge in Korea or just starting from Battle.net of the blizzard franchise. Maybe like, history of how Esports has evolved. Even sports channels show esports on TV for darn sake.

Imagine a journalist traveling to the other side of the world to make an hour long documentary on baseball, but the journalist doesn't bother to learn the difference between a ball and strike before hand. That's what you get here. At best a half-hearted look at the eSports culture, and at worst thinly-veiled and condescending disinterest with eSports culture. There are segments that are interesting and informative, but these are starkly contrasted by segments where the host's almost willful ignorance of the subject and condescension over the culture are the only things to be learned. Two moments of surprising unprofessionalism standout. First, while cover a group of gamers and their weekend routine, the host begins to pout about being left out when they start playing games. Then, instead of playing games with them -- an activity that would produce more insight into the culture -- he coerces the group to go to a traditional club with the purpose of getting them out of their comfort zone; their comfort zone being the thing he's making a documentary about. Second, the host takes a petty and pointless jab at a musical group, Imagine Dragons (1:00:26). I'm not a fan of Imagine Dragon and like the host I can't recall meeting people who are fans of them, but the obvious conclusion is that my social circle and I are not the target audience. Speaking of target audiences, it's hard to tell who's the target audience of this documentary. Gamers will likely find the palpable moments of condescension off putting. Non-gamers will not gain any sincere knowledge of the culture as it's evident that the host himself is reluctant to delve into it and learn himself. Perhaps the target audience are people of other counter-cultures who want to dismissively, but not too dismissively, look at another counter culture while pretending to learn something about it.
@angelam41576 жыл бұрын
agreed!!!! there are some parts of this that are actually good, but others... geez. Would have been alot better had he tried to even play the game to see what the draw to it was, and attempt to learn about it. Instead, he basically insisted that they go clubbing. Personally, I'd rather see my kid playing games online than out drinking and clubbing all the time. He just seemed totally put off that they dismissed him, and his poor ego was damaged.

+Destiny202 Although I agree with your comment 100%, I think that this documentary was based around exposing this to the general public, and not the gamer population. I do think, however, that the host should have had some connection to gaming. For example, when he took the college students to a night club, that was his idea of fun, not playing video games. With a documentary based on video games, that should be the focus. Going out and having a good time is fun and all, but I have a better connection to the people I play video games with mostly because we have to play off each other, and we learn our playing styles. That's just my opinion :3

You really can't predict where eSports are gonna go. It might crash and burn, or go onto flourish in unique circumstances like the X Games. In reality it probably will continue to grow as long as companies want to sponsor and viewers keep watching Many sports higher ups like Mavs owner Mark Cuban and Rockets GM Daryl Morey both have expressed interest and see potential in eSports. Call of Duty and Counter Strike were at the last 2 XGames events. Even the freaking Olympics are considering eSports to draw a younger market that no longer care for the Olympics.

scar432 You must not know anything about competitive league then because it also requires a combination of tactics and mechanical skill. There are about 120 champions each with their own skill sets and the best players need to master a good chunk of them and know enough about the rest to play against them and know what they are capable of. They need to know how different match ups work and how certain champions synergize together on the same team. Also, there are hundreds of different items to buy, each with different passive stats and active abilites. How many guns are there in CSGO? Maybe 6 that are actually used. So to undermine the complexity of LoL and and the skill and know-how required to reach the highest level is just absurd.

crackhead908 its a more active game, where reactions must be top notch to excel , i get you point but the execution you need in LoL is not the same as CS GO or SF4 SF4 execution must be practiced like an instrument and the match up knowledge goes all the way from specials, Normals, walk speed, jump arc, etc... even Frame data (start up of each move, active frames where it can damage and recovery) must be learned to play a match up at full potential but LoL has the team play factor, all eSport like games at high level play are hard to master but LoL is casual friendly as of jump in and start doing stuff , unlike CSGO where if its your first time you wont be hitting shit or SF4 you wont land combos and those are just the basics of playing the game at a casual level, in LoL you just need one guy in your team to give you a simple role to start playing and thats the appeal, its addictive becuse of the short learning curve to start having fun, MOBAS are replacing shooters as the new mainstream genre becuse of the pick up and play aspect of LoL, and dont tell me that more than 10% of LoL players know the match ups for even top tier hero's, 70M is a big number i would actually be impressed if that 10% had basic match up knowledge of the entire cast

There's a reason most games in Japan and Korea tell you to take breaks, though. People have died sitting in PC cafe chairs after 3+ day gaming marathons. It's hard to become addicted to a physical activity when you need to rest every couple days. It's really easy to become addicted to something that you can binge on for as long as you want. Addiction and gaming are very much related.

Well, as an alternative comparison, there has been condemnation about the physical injuries of sports that have led to other problems, including mental ones. Nevertheless, gaming has differences that Zoronii already listed and the general connection of gaming with health. Also, there was a part in the video where a researcher apparently said that there are differences in brain activity between eSports and "addiction"; nevertheless this doesn't justify any true distinction.

From being a long time gamer, to somebody that only has the time to enjoy that pleasure 2 or 3 days out of the week, i'd say this is a great documentary for somebody that barely understands esports. Hell i've been playing video games for as long as my memory goes back... never been into esports, just not my thing. But i'd say Matt brings up an interesting point of view, being a reporter who doesn't understand to slowly getting it over his time there and interviewing. There's always multiple points of views to everything, good or bad, doesn't really matter. Hell he dives into the whole backscene of esports from cosplay all the way up to managers, which is an interesting point of view that most people wouldn't understand unless it was something that they understood or wanted to know about. This is a great 'expand your scopes' documentary. Sure he was naive and didn't completely understand things at first... but how else would you just jump into a topic, you gotta start from somewhere (Taking into consideration that he was genuinly interested in the topic of this doc from the get go). Plus as you can tell he's not a represintitive of the community at all, he's not trying to represent the community, he's trying to represent understanding of it. Like I said before I was never into esports and didn't really get it outside of how actual sports work(Baseball, basketball, etc. ) is a great analogy for how it works. After watching this documentary i'd definitely say I get esports... I may not be into it, but I understand and respect it in its own right... which is kind of the goal of this documentary as definitely shown in Matt's closing statements

Vice has fallen over the past couple years with their docs. I wish journalist had some experience with what they are assigned to cover or at least some research from informative sources. Gamers always have that stigmatism of “no lives” which I was called a lot when I was young but coming from a rough neighborhood, gaming kept me away from the bad people. I did have friends throughout high school and had a social life but gaming was always a hobby of mine. The community itself is fun. I have been to several competitions at my local esports arena (Santa Ana) and the people you meet are always nice. Don’t be ashamed to be a gamer.

It's weird how so many people are supposedly "addicted" I thought I was too, but it seems like people have a self-determined notion that they need to keep playing games to prove their worth, more than it is that they will have negative side effects if they stop (like a REAL addiction). So I feel like the addiction to gaming is more like an addiction to attention more than it is the game itself.
@Fulscript8 жыл бұрын
+Kyotza Lew you might be right... I mean, people here defend their "gaming culture" as if it was something real, tangible. It's not, it's just people comforting themselves over the internet, being happy to spend hours and hours on games as if that made them more special or intelligent or something, as if they searched for approval.
@NightMareOSU8 жыл бұрын
+Fulscript Yea it's more like an obsession than an addiction. If people really think about it, what do most people play? online games which puts them against/with other people. When they play the game itself is just the shell, but it's the players they face that create a the interest because when they lose, they play and want to win and when they win they feel like they accomplished something. It's not as if they all a sudden just stopped playing cold turkey, they would have actual physical problems. I'm pretty sure people who say they have problems when they stop are just convincing themselves that.

+Matt Poland what does that have to do with anything? I never said it wasn't true about physical sports, it's the same thing for that too, but my point is that gamers are not addicted to the games like many believe (very few might be), but the majority of gamers are addicted to the attention and competition more than anything else.

I don't think the thing that makes this Vice guy annoying is that he's new to the whole scene/doesn't know what's going on within esports. The annoying thing is that his attitude is super elitist towards the people and the hobby because he's cooler than all of the people involved. For the most part, Vice videos have interviewers involved that are openminded to the situations they are getting into. This guy does not feel that way at all. He has that same vibe of you're a nerd, I'm not, so I'm better than you, and that's the worst kind of person to have do this type of documentary on.

Isn't everything that is negative about Competitive gaming also negative about sports in general? I mean for sports you have to train and such and become strong, and all you're really doing is entertaining people just like how competitive gamers do. And in Competitive gaming you also have to "git gud" at the game to even get up into the actual fame. There's also just as much pressure in games like football soccer baseball, and others. I don't know why people that like physical sports treat competitive gaming so different...
