I liked Eurogamer once upon a time. Seems worse now since IGN bought them out.

Same. I had an account there for 17 years, cancelled it last year after they, Eurogamer of all places, banned me for being too critical of them. Or rather I got put on some 'terror' watch list so every comment I tried to post was put on hold for moderation, not to show up until 48 hours later. Can't have a conversation that way.

They alienated their fan base (lot of people left) while the quality or articles and reviews have gone down the drain. That's been going on since they stopped using scores, or rather got bought by ReedPop in 2018. DF was still good until they lost the plot as well, with the sale to IGN about.

Digital Foundry has credibility still, the only real change is that there is more advertising in their videos.
But their tools and approach to analysis has remained the same.

Eurogamer I have never really given any attention to anyway.

I've played some older games, Dragon Age II (good) and Inquisition (average) and some Old Republic Star Wars games (which I honestly did not like at all, but that's beside the point).

Very rare I see someone who thinks Dragon Age 2 is better than Inquisition.

Inquisition had better visuals, landscapes, story and characters... It wasn't limited to basically one city.

Just a reminder:

It's basically telling Matty he can't say or do anything, he has to basically 100% do as told by EA, and that's not free speech at all, that's a demand or "we'll blacklist you", which is scummy as hell. 

We need to get away from the stupid idea that free speech allows you to say whatever you desire without repercussion, restriction or opposition.
Free Speech actually has a ton of restrictions; See: Libel, Slander etc'.

EA are actually entitled to place people on a blacklist... As that is their "free" right to do so. Freedom is a two way street.


That doesn't mean I agree with EA's approach, but the moaning is misplaced. Just wait for reviews outside of the mainstream outlets.
