You have to admit its a bit rich though don't you?

The guy has seen (not played) demo's of games. And he has positive things to say. You've been in both the Halo and Quantum Break threads to do with Kotaku in the last day or two alone, defending their right to slag off games they have seen (not played).

Why is one journalism, and the other a "vomit inducing, corporate worshipping piece of propaganda?" Don't get me whe's, this article probably goes too far, but a little consistency, even just day to day, would help facilitate positive discussion.

Side note, by early access are you referring to the recent announcement, which largely mirrors what already gets solid feedback on Steam? Or EA Access? I don't have EA Access, but I don't think I have seen a bad review from a single person that actually has it.

 

@ Others in this thread. Dernebel is correct, slagging off fanbases with silly nicknames is immature and unnecessary. First and last warning for those doing so in this thread.

I believe there's quite the difference between my actions in those threads and in this one. My point in the Quantum Break thread (I actually don't remember what I said in the Halo thread) was that I found it silly to dismiss the criticism the person had based on the outlet he worked for.

My problem here is not the general idea of the article, it's the execution that bugs the hell out of me, the whole thing reads like a MS marketing piece and the notion that a "professional games journalist" would on his own accord write like this, does make me a little sick (and there's probably people in the industry that write the same way for all the big 3). Sure it might be hard to believe but this has nothing to do with the platform he's writing about.

While the QB article definitely wasn't written perfectly it at least ended with saying that it was talking about only the demo and that there's still time to improve the final product, this on the other hand mostly just throws game names at you, doesn't actually tell you anything about those games and just straight up tells you to buy the system based on those mostly unreleased games.

Regarding early access I'm talking about the program on Steam which as I've heard has already produced several cases of games just being abandoned by their devs, of others just never going out of early access and also just a lot of pure trash being put on there, might be a problem that can be solved through certain measures but currently I'm not a huge fan of the whole thing.

 

You just can't take an article finishing with "It's time to buy into the Microsoft dream" seriously. It's cheap advertising, nothing close to journalism. And I mean really cheap and bad advertising, made by an intern. 

 

If Microsoft said that in one of their conference, we would even laugh about them! :D
