Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Cutie Gwen]

Various european youtubers with review copies
It isn't them that confirmed it but rather the gameplay footage

Remember how Europe changing Nowi talking about Trasha's boingy bits? There might be something we simply haven't seen yet

In my view of a perfect world, here is how reviews would be done. SomecallmeJohnny is the only reviewer around, which is good due to his style, or there are 2 reviews. One of them from a fan, one as someone who isn't. I know that sounds impossible, but it'd be an interesting take

 

[A Distant Demon]

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo blacklisted them for this, honestly.

I would. People have said worst things in the past. One less than steller "review" from a reviewer generally known by the community isn't something to get blacklisted for. Nintendo start being super petty on us.

Sooooo.... Ummmm.... I did a thing.

Ummm.... Yeah well, I'm sorry.

And the pairing up doesn't really matter, I just got people together in the order I found their images. Except for me and Zoroarking.

[Wario Bros.]

A game review that reeks unprofessional "quality"?

Is the sky blue?

Also, where is everyone getting the news that the Pokémon Sun & Moon starter names have been revealed? All I can find the names for the possible mascots.

 

[ChikoLad]

Personally, if I was doing professional reviews, the structure would be:

-No scores - instead, my bookending equivalent to scores would be a section I would call "Quote Me On That" - essentially a simple line or two that sums up my thoughts on the game. Something that's easy to remember and say in casual conversation.
-Have a separate section for the objective (technical stuff like frame rate and just describing the mechanics of the game) and the subjective (my actual opinions on the objective aspects, such as how I feel it controls, as well as stuff that's completely subjective, like my interest in the soundtrack or something).
-Clearly state whether or not I'm an established fan of the genre/franchise, and how this may have effected things (e.g if it's a complex game in an established franchise I've never tried, I'd probably say something like "newcomers like myself might struggle to get into it at first, but veterans should feel right at home").
-If it's a case where I really need a second opinion on something, I would have a little section for that. Like, an established fan of the franchise the game I am reviewing is from, because maybe I feel like I need that if it's a complex series I am new to.

That might be too different to the norm though to be accepted in the current climate of the industry.

**** the norm. I would LOVE if we dropped numbered scores and actually had to read the points like in your structure.

I personally love ProJared's parody of a rating system.

"Moldy bread out of 10"
"Nice looking Bike with a squakey wheel out of 10"
and then he relates the rating to actually mean something
(The bike would mean it's a very good game but with one obnoxious point or something)

Doesn't sound bad. If you made reviews, I'd try em out. Nothing can beat Johnny though, he's actually perfect

 

[Champ Gold]

To talk more on games journalists, it's kinda decent that more and more people are moving away from Review scores but these websites don't.

I sort of hated review scores because if it isn't a certain score, it's considered bad or good.

I like it when the rating system is

• Great
• Good
• Average
• Bad
• Poor

Just go from there

Well I'm not trying to compare myself to Johnny here, as I was more thinking of a written format.

To be honest, doing videos would be even more interesting personally, there's a bit more you can do with the format. And Johnny would be my main inspiration if I ever did that. I'd have more Irish humour for the jokes though, since that's a niche I can fill that isn't really filled (jacksepticeye is more of a gut reaction let's play channel like Pewdiepie).

[Frostwraith]

I must admit the wording in my last posts was a bit harsh, but I've been under stress again, which is why I have been less active here. My apologies.

Some of my points remain true, though. The video game industry and related journalism could be a lot better and, with proper effort, it's possible to do so.

Also, if any of you guys are on Twitter, you can follow me @ Frostwraith0357. I've been more active there lately and it's a better place for me to have bite-sized commentary on whatever I feel like talking about. The character limit is good for me since I tend to go on long rants (like this, as you can see).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an anime episode waiting for me (anyone here watching Bungou Stray Dogs?) before I go catch Z's. Bye!
