Can You Trust Journalists

Jez is just as justified to disagree with that guy's opinion as that guy is to post it. She is creating a strawman argument.
Sure but he is the biased one and it was posted here as if there was something egregiously wrong with the pcgamer article

Everyone is justified to an opinion but what is the point in saying that when many on this forum has decided that anyone that didn't declare it the best game of all time deserves some kind of scorn?

Literally nobody has said anything about Starfield to this effect, nor have they implied it.

Obvious exaggeration of course but half the the Starfield thread is people looking for someone they can complain about no matter how ridiculous it is.

Having different opinions is one thing, problem is are they genuine or just to get attention. Lol @ your Starfield thread take. Those that have knocked the game/given low scores are mainly for what they think the game should be.

And if they gave it an 8 instead of a 7 nobody would care. Its just not that big of a deal. Wanting it to be something different or something more is a legitimate opinion even if you don't agree. People decided to be outraged about any low or somewhat low scores months before it came out.

Most of this thread is making mountains out of mole hills and is some cases just flat out persecution complex

PC Gamer has been weird lately. Heck, I remember subscribing back when it was an actual paper magazine.

They had this weird agenda with Diablo 4 too. Not that D4 is the greatest game ever, but they definitely had a lot of weird nitpicks that nobody else did. They were whining about how the demo boss was too hard to kill. I mean, yeah there was a level cap in the demo.

I don't mean criticism, but clearly they had some sort of ax to grind on Diablo that just didn't make sense. D4 is multiplat, and PC Gamer obviously has no cares about console wars.

I think the "bias" is to drama and clickbait. These sites need clicks, and they do it in obvious ways.

How come its always xbox fanboy twitter accounts? I rest my case.

If you are following people like that you are too deep in the console wars to even see clearly.

Yes just ignore the video because Xbox.
I ignore all out of context videos from raging xbox fanboys and so should everyone. That persons twitter is embarrassing and it says a lot that I keep seeing their tweets on here.

4/10 is ridiculous though unless he is commonly that harsh

Funny I never see you say anything about the PlayStation side.
 
Out of context.. yes we are biased against MS is out of context.

Suppose pointing out that he/she also claimed Bethesda are anti trans at the start of the review won't have had any impact on the review.

I don't see the point to pile on Dried but I am glad you know the "xbox side" does the same thing he does.

That seems like a very very clear slam dunk example of bias. Way better than some random out of context clip but that clip is specifically about MS/Xbox but this thread is not really about bias its about whether anyone ever say anything that could be taken as negative about Xbox.
 
Not really it's become you refusing to accept any biased journalists.
 
Could you imagine only playing games and watching movies/tv shows based on what others thought on the internet, instead of trying out stuff yourself that you’re instead in… crazy world.
 
Almost like a good chunk of starfield players wouldn't be using steam...
 
More like a new expansion for a big game just came out and bought players back.
 
They praise TLOU right away, but neglect that it released this year on PC and it's in the super dust.
