Game Journalism Sucks-Connor Foley Assignment 6

So the video game industry absolutely blows right now. It's simultaneously not as bad as some people would have you believe and not as good as some people would have you believe. Anthem is a video game released in February of this year that has as much soul and creativity as those husks that cicadas leave behind. That might actually be giving it too much credit. It tried to be everything. Four player co-op third person looter shooter. Even if you don't know what any of those words mean you can surely appreciate how long that is and understand that it's way too much. Why are video games so bad though? Game critics. You can shove out an absolute diarrhea-fest of a video game and game journalists will eat it up if you're a big company, because if they don't that company won't send them review copies and they'll get absolutely bodied by the fans of that game. When every game is an 8-10 out of 10 then no game is actually good. And then you have sites like Metacritic where the game is rated by a body of conflicting voices and is subject to mass bombing in either direction and as such shouldn't be taken seriously. What am I getting at? Video game journalism sucks and I want it to actually be better for the sake of the gaming market and core gaming audience.
