    If you’re a video game critic, please take the work seriously. Don’t just view it as consumer advocacy. Toss out the old cliches. Games aren’t toasters. Be critical. Have a point of view. Games deserve great criticism.

        It’s okay to dislike Undertale. It’s okay to dislike Octopath Traveler (a bad game IMO). It’s okay to dislike Super Metroid. It’s okay to dislike Bionic Commando (a fantastic game IMO). Don’t like or dislike things because they’re in the canon, or because you think others will.

        Find your own perspective. Hone your own beliefs. Make your own arguments.

        Of course it’s also perfectly fine to champion these things, if you believe they’re deserving. Celebrating the wonderful is essential, but having a critical ethic invariably also sometimes necessitates arguing that things aren’t good.

        And a strong negative review can be just as illuminating and insightful as a strong positive one.

        What if a game is, like, a part of a series I really love but it has some anti-feminist overtones? Uh-oh. Looks like I'll have to criticize the media I love? Heh, heh, heh................. I'll see myself out.

        About 80% of the reason I listen to/follow certain critics is their personality and perspective. Gimme dat. The other 20% is, y'know...knowledge about the field they review in

        I'm always critical of the games I play, I always see a lot of room for improvement in every game I play. Even the ones I like a lot like Streets Of Rage 2 and Star Trek: Birth Of The Federation. No game is perfect, every game is flawed

        The over excessive sexism and outright bigotry in gaming, like with Rockstar's backwards drivel, fairly shows just how much room for improvement there is and how flawed video games are when they do the same old thing to cater to the same demographic every time
