Forums - Website Topics - What ever happened to the good VG Chartz articles?

We use to have awesome articles all the time, and then all of sudden it stopped. It's all sales articles of Pre orders or WW sales or video game company news. We use to have a lot of top 10 articles that got so many views, I miss those :(

So what happen did we lose to writers or something?



Around the Network

Articles used to get views into the hundreds of thousands. Now our biggest articles are lucky to break 10k. The news section was ruined by what the administrators saw to be "professionalism," which was essentially posting hundreds of crappy articles with no regard to reader interest or quality control.

Basically, most of the major problems on the site can be traced back to people posting for the sake of posting.

*Hint* *Hint*



 

 

Think of this, Top ten biggest boobs in gaming!

500K views and thousands of new members :)

Gamrreview now being a separate site can't be helping matters. The vision for the site is still too schizophrenic.

Article monster came along, and he ate all the articles. True story.



What I don't understand is what happened to the Japan Previews? I mean if TheSource can't do them anymore shouldn't it be passed to someone else?



I always thought the VGC opinion articles were pretty aweful (like most articles in that nature on the internet), but even compared to them they were consistently bleh. So from a credibility standpoint I think it was a good move for them to not do those anymore.

I get that opinionated articles are an opinion. But from what I remember there were several writers that you could just prove the opinion wrong with facts. Thus, these "opinions" were fallacies. 

Such as "Catherine Proves Niche Games Can Sell" Which it in fact didn't, it sold like a niche not more than persona, niche titles, or other JRPG's.

However what gets hits, is maybe those type of dumb articles that incite arguments.



This is a dying site, which is a real shame. I remember it being much more lively here, it would great to that happen again.

Pretty much this. We will have to wait until next generation to see things pick up again.
