The media needs to change.

The attitudes of gamers needs to change.

I actually really like the question he asked.

Let the gaming media get it's ad revenue from somewhere else. Complementary media to what the main target audience of their sites and shows. Without actually having what they cover directly being advertised there. Movies, tv shows food drink but not the games themselves.

 

Something else though that really needs to change in the media is the click bait articles. They are sometimes slightly funny from irony at best but usually are disingenuous, spread misinformation and bring down the level of dialog.

 

As for gamers we need to stop repeating click bait articles. Treat other gamers and those in the industry with more respect and civility. Stop wishing for things we don't like to fail, and focus more on complaining about games that are broken and less about games that aren't to our taste. It's not a zero sum game. It's not always one game type or another.

Especial these forums with the order, I've never seen so many people who don't like the genre to begin with and don't own the systems seem so excited and post so much about how they don't like it and are glad it's reviewing poorly. The order isn't going to make or break cinematic games. It's success or failure won't get the studio making games for other systems.

 

I'm ranting sorry


The industrie needs to change too... 

sure, the media is full of idiots  and we should use ign or kotaku, but thats not an excuse for bitching about bad reviews.

its not gamers, gamers are realy pissed of by the shady things that are going on, im sure you heared about #gamergate...

 

The industrie doesnt deserve more respect as long as they are doing things the way they do. why should i talk nice about someone if he makes his games for idiots? QTE are cancer, and there should be no higher score than 4/10 if the game says me when to press a button after the tutorial, im not an idiot.if i choose to play hard mode or new game+ i want a hard game and not just bulletsponges as enemys.

and dont sell me 7 hours game without replay value for 60$.  40$ is enough for what you produced...

 

we should disrespect the people in the industrie more, they are like dogs, if the CEO says jump, they ask how high...

 

we need a lot more people with a real artistic vision.

 

 

 

Gamers being angry is far from gamers acting in a way that doesn't mean they need to change. Threats harassment and cruelty aren't the ways to get change.

You throw around insults way to easily. You remind me of what needs to change in gamers. Not all games are going to be for you, and just because it's not for you doesn't mean it should score poorly. I myself don't like sports games. I don't think any of then would be better than a 3/10 for my enjoyment. So whatever scores they get don't matter, but I don't go telling everyone why they should be scored lower. I don't go wishing that they all do terrible so they stop making them and make other games. The rise and fall of guitar hero and rock band should teach people that isn't how it works.

However with the order I'm seeing gamers bashing a genre they don't like, the people who make it ands those that don't like it. You're not the only gamers, your tastes aren't all encompassing. It makes the community come across as really insecure when they go out of their way to say at every opportunity how much they dislike it and all the insults used.

 

The industry is changing but not in the way that all these naysayers hope. It's going mobile, it's going micro transaction, it's a new abominable pay as you go model I though we were free of post the age of arcades.
