| hinch said: Yeah I gave up on Sterling. Too negative on reviews and contrarian for the sake of it. And (like others said) a lot of trolling as well. Best stick to reviewers that center towards your tastes and go from there. |
Oh yeah, she hasn't gotten better.
But like I said she does some truly great and important work exposing games media and working conditions and the like. The good she's done DOES counterbalance the trolling but I do not go to her for her hot takes or her gaming opinions. She's clearly just being contrarian or amplifying bad takes. Her existence in the games journalism sphere is an overall net positive but holy hell she's so bratty and immature.
Like, she gave Tears of the Kingdom a 7/10 specifically to reignite the drama over the Breath of the Wild 7/10 she gave back when that game came out. She even made a point to say 'if they haven't learned from their mistakes, then they haven't gotten any better and therefore I'll be giving them the same score'. WHAT MISTAKES?! The game sold 30+ million copies, is one of the best-reviewed games ever and is a stone-cold classic...OF COURSE THEY FOLLOWED IT UP WITH A REFINEMENT ON WHAT WAS ALREADY THERE!
Sorry, I'm letting this get to me more than it should. it's just such a bone-headed argument and I'm sick of her having the platform to shout this nonsense like it has any authority.
