      The expanded side post, ‘Questions for Cowboys’, a series of questions he’d like to ask everyone who praised Red Dead Redemption 2 + his response to them, hits the nail on the head harder than any other take on the game: http://tevisthompson.com/questions-for-cowboys/ …https://twitter.com/carolynmichelle/status/1111706146622988288 …

      It's finally here, the first entry in critic Tevis Thompson's new essay, It's Not Coming Back. Today's entry is The Worst Games of 2018. Whether you agree or disagree, I think Thompson's singular voice needs to be heard and considered. Start here: http://tevisthompson.com/news/

      So just because you don’t like a game, everyone else who did are immediately wrong? You do understand there’s more to games than just mechanics right and people react differently to different games or movies? Also, talking about moving mechanics is the most boring shit ever.

      No, but just because mass consensus loves a game, that doesn't mean they're right, either. And here you say "people react differently to different games." Well that's exactly what Tevis is doing, and it's something we see VERY LITTLE OF in mainstream games criticism.

      Yeah it’s not people liking Red Dead 2 which rankles me - people can like what they want - it’s the bizarre degree of critical consensus, especially given how divisive it’s proven out in the wild. Especially given how many 9/10 reviews I read which overall seemed pretty negative?

      Replying to @HarVeeGee @carolynmichelle @MehrdadKazemtab

      The bad assumption at play in games criticism IMO is that the degree to which it’s a technical achievement, the sheer scale and (surface) detail, the absurd number of man hours poured into it, has inherent worth and means that “objectively” you can’t give it a negative review.

      Imagine if we applied that logic to other art. Michael Bay’s Transformers involved countless hours of work from very talented VFX artists and were very difficult and complicated films to make technically speaking, lots of really complex shooting. Are they great films then?

      Replying to @HarVeeGee @carolynmichelle

      What many people like you are saying is how could many people love such a game and when it is slow, which is again the most boring criticism you could bring. The answer is not because they were hypnotized by the hype, it’s because they just liked the game. And it’s fine.

      Nobody is saying it isn't. And Tevis' criticism of the game isn't just "because it's slow." What about Green Book, a film some thought a masterpiece (it won best picture) & others found to be racist trash? Why in games crit are almost all the voices singing the same song abt RDR?

          Yeah and why do we see the same attacks on the legitimacy of the critic every time they dissent - “you mustn’t have actually played it” “stop bringing politics into your assessment of the frontier myth game” etc
