Mean, shitty post. Great work OP.
You'd think that GAF was better than this, knowing that this isn't meant to be anything more than just a Facebook livestream, but instead this follows the same tack that the KiA thread on Reddit is aiming for.
Link us to your stream when you're ready.
Did the reviewer criticize the game's playability or controls in a write up while playing below GAF standards or something? If not, I fail to see any real issue.
Yeah I agree. It's true that the person playing in the video isn't very skilled at the game...but so what?
Yes it was https://www.facebook.com/polygon/videos/1187674131245213/
This is not a review. This is just some gameplay.

As if Polygon wasn't a big enough joke already.
Dunno, can I review a concert of Beethoven's finest symphonies without having ever listened to classical music before?So there needs to be a skill threshold for reviews?
There's no review in the OP, also having the ability to move the camera and aim should be expected when you're critiquing a game. But I'll bet whomever was playing was trying to do something else while playing, maybe writing or talking. But it's still weird to use that inadequate footage.
Okay, so it was linked on facebook. A lot of things are. Calling it a "facebook livestream" implies that it was something meant for a handful of people--not something a professional outlet uploads to their public account as a "first look" at the game.
It's a reviews outlet, not in-house marketing. They don't need to "show off" the game.
Is this going to be a follow-up to McElroy's Nier review?
If the Polygon rep in that video is the one reviewing the game, then maybe he/she may not the best source on the matter.
"They decided to put an outdated manual transmission in this car. As a result, every time I try to drive the car it just stalls and turns off. What a piece of shit.I mean, if it's a review worth any credibility, then yes.
Otherwise, I don't know how to drive, but here's my review on the new Ferrari. It handles like shit.
They have a fair point. It's clear you weren't trying to be mean but maybe if you had brought in some footage of other games from other outlets it could've been a discussion more about skill levels in reviews etc versus "polygon SUCKS" which the first page has kind of devolved in to (even though that's not your fault)I cant tell if this is for real?
That video says Polygon was LIVE. Look at the damn timestamp. The video originated THERE.

Final Score: 1/10."
I think it's more that it's coming from a website that frames themselves as a professional/gaming focused outlet.
I think some sort of reviews of games from people who don't play them regularity is an interesting idea (and something I think would be cool in a more amateur/youtube/streaming format), but different types of outlets have different standards.
Said it on twitter and here also in another thread but good grief i was shocked seeing this like who is holding the controller and playing like they never touched a shooter before let stand a fast shooter? Didn't last more than 1 minute in that video had to turn it off.
Compared to this from the nvidia showcase it is night and day.

Pretty sure it can be disabled.The blur is awful.
that's how I play with a steam controller at the moment
That gameplay video was not captured by the reviewer. Don't worry, the person responsible for the review will be equipped with the appropriate l33t skills.

are you serious? this is supposed to be someone who plays games for a living and he's struggling to shoot at an enemy who's literally right in front of him
you should do it.
I mean
regarding this and your previous post:
I apologize by advance like 2 times in the OP, clarify that I dont know who's playing, genuinely ask if this is the person playing the game
and you still treat me like some bully who's mocking aloud like "lel look at this noob" and assuming I KNEW it was a facebook video?
wtf?
beyond that, if its just a preview video, for facebook, made by Polygon, its still by a person playing the game fucking horribly and its a terrible, innacurate showing of it for it
whats your problem?
Polygon seem like the kind of petty people who would do this to get back at them not sending a review copy early.
So there needs to be a skill threshold for reviews?
the cyberbullying in this thread is extremely worrisome.
I don't think anyone is really saying you should be exceptional or necessarily even 'good' at video games to be able to review them, but at the same time if I'm reading a car review I'm going to also assume the person writing it knows how to drive.
