Veknoid_Outcast on 24 May 2018

Welcome to the first of many monthly threads dedicated to the writing team here at VGChartz!

Even as the team spends a lot of time producing original content for you, we haven't had a proper platform to engage with the community. Now we do.

In this and subsequent threads, you can:

  • Check out the highlights from the previous month
  • Find upcoming reviews, previews, and articles
  • Pose questions and make recommendations to the writing team
  • Participate in game giveaways

Happy Friday everyone!

I hope this thread serves as a bridge between the VGChartz writing staff and the community, and makes the writing/reviewing process more transparent.

Please sound off below about what you've enjoyed reading so far, where we can improve, and what kinds of reviews/previews/sales analyses/articles you'd like to see moving forward!

There's also a possibility that besides the top 10 games you might have missed at E3-article, I'll be able to publish the next part of the Metal Gear retrospective (on Guns of the Patriots) this month, but that's still unsure at the moment simply because of how busy I am right now.

Please, please. PLEASE eventually cover Ghost Babel. Had no idea such an interesting game existed.

I'll do an article talking about the various spin-offs in general, so Ghost Babel will probably be covered there.

Really looking forward to this open dialogue!

Excellent thread, good to have all links in one place.

There will be my review of Death End reQuest also by the end of the month.

Cleared it a little while ago and writing in French atm. Will submit after E3 so that it can get a minimum of attention.
