"Gaming journalists be like: you shoot dogs, 10 out of 10." - PewDiePie, playing The Last of Us 2.

At this point, is there anyone who doesn't think gaming journalists are sub-human filth?

@diresock Don't listen to them.

I don't look for reviews of games, I always look for legit gameplays of these games, and decide based on what I see of the game.

If I don't find gameplays of that game, I'm blind, therefore I don't buy.
@enigmatico Same, although now some companies are patching shit mechanics into games, months after release.
It's getting legit difficult to not torrent, if you want a good game... and have it stay that way.
@diresock About torrenting games, people says that torrenting games (or "pirating" them) is bad, but actually, all of the fighting games I own, I torrented them beforehand. Except Granblue. So if anything, torrenting these games made them one more customer.

How bad is game industry now? Well, let's just say that there used to be a time when developers were letting you play part of the game to proof you will live it...

Now, most seem to be ashamed even of the full versions.

@LukeAlmighty @diresock Now you can't even show videos or share "memes" of a game because the publishers feel ashamed of it and they will DMCA anyone sharing content of that game.
@enigmatico @LukeAlmighty The gameplay of The Last of Us 2 is fairly good, the graphics are top notch, and it runs smoothly.
If they had released a demo, and didn't have leaks, they would have sold like crazy.

The bad part of the game is the plot, imagine fantastic high quality visuals... of the writer repeatedly stomping on a sac of puppies, while rubbing his own nipples.

It isn't bad, it's disgusting.
So a demo wouldn't really help in this case.
