>>49517101There’s a difference between playing to make a review and playing to enjoy. Nowadays everyone wants to put out a video or content on the newest hot trend in order to get clicks, likes, and that sweet ad revenue because it brings in traffic.
Like check this, I watched a discussion video earlier from the guys at NintendoLife and I can’t fathom why they had the guy Zion review this game. The guy wrongly claims TPC or Nintendo are identifying it as a spinoff, he talks about things in the game that he wish were, that actually are but he didn’t actually play it thoroughly enough to notice. He went in with the mindset that he was going to hate it and complained about the tutorials when for the first time a tutorial for Pokemon game is actually necessary. And he says shit like wanting there to be a game based on the fucking Adventures manga.
And people eat that shit up because they are too naive to think for themselves. It’s why people like Verlisify have a platform. Or the people who make their thumbnail the game but a picture of them going “woah” photoshopped on top of it. If you watch IGN’s latest podcast you’ll cringe at what the reviewer says when talking about the game, to the point where another IGN reviewer on the panel calls out a lot of her takes and how retarded they sound.
