Speaking of video game reviews, that's why I've focused on Rock Paper Shotgun back in the day when they didn't do "reviews" but "Wot I think". Each article was an honest and earnest, detailed description of a human experience and their genuine thoughts. You wouldn't always agree with the reviews but it'd always be an interesting and informative read.
- vosper 3y agoWhat do you think of RPS now? I read your comment as implying you might not like RPS so much anymore, but I may have misunderstood.
- getoj 3y agoRPS got bought out about five years ago and all of the old guard left. The new RPS is about 70% run-of-the-mill reporting that you can see anywhere, 10% awful promos for hardware sales, and 20% starry-eyed young journalists trying to emulate what RPS used to be. Despite all that it’s still the best single site for gaming criticism, sadly.
- NikolaNovak 3y agoI feel they still have some flavour they used to, but it got diluted. Partially it's the natural author / rehiewer turnover,Partially it's the volume of Deals and Hardware video articles and generic press release news. They don't even call them wot I think anymore :). It's still the single gaming site I follow the most. But it's not quite as concentrated fun as it used to be. Cannot speculate how much of that is due to being bought out and integrated a few years back. I think it's correlation as much as causation. Some of the old gang have started their own things but they tend to be very niche.
