| richardhutnik said: I would say, outside of maybe the ability to write prose longer and more polished, I am hard pressed to see game journalists being more competent and professional than a number of better posters on here. Can anyone fill me in exactly what they do differently that has them doing what they do for a living compared to people who post on here for free? In more extreme cases of them, they get WAY out there, like the way people do on here. This point is coming to my mind when I see the latest N4G stuff on this site now as news feeds. It is ranking right up there with some of the more notable trollish posts I have seen people put on here. |
Hey, don't get down on yourself about being able to write. The major difference is the amount of time (hopefully) spent on writing the story.
Most of the time I write forums posts in a few minutes when I want a break from work. IMO game journalists are more of a point of view then an actual objective review.
I agree there are a lot of great posters on this site which is why I keep coming back to it.
