![]() When I worked for IGN - I was a site manager for a few of the Vault Network sites - we always had editorial reviews of everything that went up on the site. ![]() What I don't understand is why this didn't go through an editorial review. So, yes, Greg wrote a poor review, but the guy complaining did a pretty poor job of analyzing Greg's writing as well. ![]() What I'm surprised is that he didn't point out the need for a comma following "Unlike Nathan Drake". You really don't need to qualify "it" in the sentence since the action being referenced is right there in plain site (". And even then, a lot of his suggestions wouldn't improve the review, and in some cases would introduce new grammatical errors.įor example: "Unlike Uncharted's Nathan Drake who can kill a few hundred pirates and never seem worn down by it, Isaac " While there are some poor parts to the writing, the image I've looked at has portions that are very heavy handed in the writing critique and a lot of it is up to opinion, not based on proper grammar. The biggest point is just don't take these things seriously.There was a time where gaming journalists had the amounts of credibility needed to properly justify their opinions.a case of 'they might know about this shit more than you do'.not the case s their fault, they blew it, leave it at that.and simply stop taking them seriously.They won't irritate you.at all.if you take that approach.Īnd to me.the best sites for getting game info are from the guys that actually talk about how ridiculous their own jobs are.I listen to Giantbomb's bombcast pretty often, and while each dude on there can have some pretty scathing opinions about certain titles and franchises that I actually enjoy.they are always the first to point out how often they are us they read hate mail.Ĭhristopher 4566d ago (Edited 4566d ago ) I get that.and guess it needed to happen.but I read this review the day it came up.and watched the video review (which actually gives the reader/viewer the same overall 'gist', but in a much better fashion imo).and even though it was poorly written this was hardly a prime example of how gaming journalism has become little more than a joke lately. ![]() Ok.So this entire situation is based on the 'community' finally firing back at a reviewer.and the reviewer there by being 'confused' as to what wasn't liked. ![]()
