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. |
Yeah I say contrarian because looking at some of the more recent video's (from last year) are a bit overboard and opinions that vary so much which goes against the tide. A lot comes accross as someone who's feels quite jaded about gaming in general. Though Sterling may be right in a lot of cases, other takes are just overly negative. Sometimes you gotta step back and enjoy games for what they are instead of focusing a lot of the 'bad' side of things. For the debates, clicks or whatever. Guess its her shtick after all. Its just cba to watch those reviews because you know she's going to be nitpicking on silly things that largely don't matter.
Not played TOTK so can't comment on that. But calling FFXVI not an FF is the most recent disingenuous and troll-bait thing Sterling said.. and going from that not worth bothering with.
