Polygon tries to play Doom 4.

They were so bad they had to disable comments and ratings because of all the comments they got laughing at how bad they were. Maybe they should have hired actual gamers to work at Polygon instead of a horde of SJW's?

There goes the paranoid GamerGate discourse...

Have you considered the possibility that Doom - or any FPS for that matter - will inevitably control like ♥♥♥♥ with a gamepad? I play tons of first-person shooters myself, yet even I would probably struggle just as much as whoever is playing on the video.

No. I play with a gamepad on PC and have topped the leader board several times in MP. The game has aim assist. The person playing is just horrible.

Or is just not used to play a FPS game with a controller.

Oh absolutely. Reminds me of me when I was fooling around in COD with a controller. I think I was worse. Hardest diff was easier with M&KB than easiest with a controller. =P

[☢☣Red»Klayton☣☢]

Well, that just happened. Must be playing on a controller for the first time or something. I am bad when I go back to using one for like fpses on older systems and stuff but get used to it again. But eh the video was not only super slow(they just stood there) no talking at all...that's what made it the worse for me. If they want to reveiw it with video, talk damn it haha. I didn't know polygon was a thing much anymore, people don't have to be asses though...but yeah they were pretty bad. But, eh as long as they had fun even if it was cringy.

Which begs the question why the publication has staff without the pre-requisite skills to do their jobs correctly. Their job is to play and review games, correct?

Maybe because they did not have access to the PC version at the time and whoever was assigned to film themself playing it does not play FPS games with a gamepad.

Again, I agree they should not have uploaded the video, but that does not mean the entire publication has been taken over by "SJWs"/non-gamers like the OP is paranoiacally surmising.

So your way of demonstrating you are not holding a paranoid GG discourse is to parrot more paranoid GG propaganda. Interesting...

"SJW" is a stupid alt-right/neo-nazi buzzword. Please do not use it anymore.

Uh oh. Looks like I threw too much reality in the face of a dedicated SJW. Here comes the denial. Nevermind the fact that many radical leftists openly admit to being SJW's and there's even a branch of SJW courses taught at universities. But no, it must just be a neo-nazi conspiracy, right?

How the hell is disapproving of laughable character designs and camera angles "regressive"?

The character is designed by a woman for crying out loud. Taking points off simply because you're a regressive nutjob who thinks that sexualizing women in video games is sexist is simply wrong and should not be part of the review. If they want to do that ♥♥♥♥ then they should remove their site from metacritic so at least their nonsense doesn't affect game sales. How would you feel if a christain site were to get on metacritic and score a game like Doom poorly becuase "it's of the devil". Something tells me you wouldn't be just fine with it, especially knowing that review scores do affect sales.

RSimCity? Is that the game that was not even playable on release? If so, has it occurred to you that Polygon may have been updating their review as the game got better? How is that a problem?

Clearly you don't even know what you're talking about. The review score actually went down because they could never settle on an actual score.

My point exactly. It is very possible the person playing is a proud member of the "PC Master Race" or whatever stupid thing you are calling it.

Your point was invalidated when it was pointed out that if he was that bad with a controller then he shouldn't have been uploading the footage. I would be embarassed for people to see me play that badly and for a so called "professional" review site, it's laughable.

Have you considered the possibility of them doing so in jest, to poke fun at the ridiculousness of the moniker?

and there's even a branch of SJW courses taught at universities.

Are you referring to gender studies? Because if so, that is not a "SJW" course.

Who was working for a male lead designer and had to follow his instructions.

Mari Shimazaki is #NotYourShield. ;)

Taking points off simply because you're a regressive nutjob who thinks that sexualizing women in video games is sexist is simply wrong and should not be part of the review.

That reminds me of the time Carolyn Petit gave GTAV 9.5 - an almost perfect score - yet still faced a massive backlash from you dorks for having pointed out the game's misogynistic nature.

Maybe you are the "regressive" here, since you are the one trying to police others' opinions.

If they want to do that ♥♥♥♥ then they should remove their site from metacritic so at least their nonsense doesn't affect game sales.

Who the hell cares about Metacritic, especially after the metacritic bombing episode?

How would you feel if a christain site were to get on metacritic and score a game like Doom poorly becuase "it's of the devil".

I would not care. I am not a "Christain" (or a Christian for that matter) and I play games that are appealing to me, regardless of whether they are getting good reviews or not.

Something tells me you wouldn't be just fine with it, especially knowing that review scores do affect sales.

If bad reviews are stopping you from buying a game you are genuinely interested in, then you seriously need to work on developing your critical thinking.

Clearly you don't even know what you're talking about. The review score actually went down because they could never settle on an actual score.

Even so, my point still stands: their appreciation of the game evolved with time. Nothing wrong with that. I do that myself all the time when I write reviews on Steam.

That is actually pretty much what I said. :P

My disagreement comes from your claim that whoever is playing must be a "SJW" and not an "actual" gamer. Which is stupid: again, I play first-person shooters all the time, yet I still suck with a gamepad. Does that make me a "non-gamer"? Or do I need to be just as good with a gamepad in order to earn my "gaming credentials"?

who is going to read this whole multi-quote thing ? when i see the size of the "thing" , i just zap it. seriously...

[Tennealeous]

@JhonnyTheWolf, I'm sorry but, even a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ player who is new will adapt to the feeling of a controller even after so long. (I remember starting up my 360 back in 08 and I eventually got better.) So it's either someone who is new or an autist who isn't capable of learning.

So you're part of the dev team? How do you know she was guided?

[Matty101]

I'd probably be worse on a controller but i can crack some skulls on m+k.

The video specifically shows the first thirty minutes.

Polygon has since uploaded other gameplay videos where the player - assuming it is the same person - seems to have gotten the hang of the controls:

Autists are capable of learning. I am not even sure why you are bringing them up.

What?

When their whole life revolves around fighting for what they perceive to be "social justice", I'd hardly say that the term is unwaranted. Besides that, are you sure you're in the right place? Neogaf seems like the perfect forum for you where they actively ban anyone who disagrees with the regressive hivemind. You'd really like it there.

Are you referring to gender studies? Because if so, that is not a "SJW" course.

First off, yes, they most certainly are SJW courses. That's all they teach - social justice propaganda and marxist ideologies. And yes, I have taken a gender studies course and that's excactly all it was. Secondly, many of them do actually refer to themselves as social justice courses.

It's going to be amusing to watch you get outraged at the source.

Who was working for a male lead designer and had to follow his instructions.

Which is relevant how? She's in favor of the design and supports it. But the truth is, SJW's hate women who dissent even more than they hate traditional conservatives.

That reminds me of the time Carolyn Petit gave GTAV 9.5 - an almost perfect score - yet still faced a massive backlash from you dorks for having pointed out the game's misogynistic nature.

Because there was no misogyny in GTA5. Of course, that didn't stop regressive leftists from denying reality and arguining otherwise in order to get the game banned in Australia. And for the record, I don't even like GTA and if I were to have reviewed it I probably would have given it something like a 6/10 to be generous because the gameplay is incredibly poor. So I'm hardly a fanboy defending the game.

Maybe you are the "regressive" here, since you are the one trying to police others' opinions.

Not trying to police anything. If they to take a page out of Sarkessian's book and view everything as sexist and racist, fine. But a reviewer should try to be a bit more objective and score a game based on its merits. Not their ideologial ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. And they most certainly shouldn't be fighting to have these games censored or banned, as is often the case.

Who the hell cares about Metacritic, especially after the metacritic bombing episode?

Companies who care about sales? Did you just ignore the part where I pointed out the fact that metacritic scores do have an influence on game sales which is precisely why companies like Bethesda and Creative Assembly have specifically tried to achieve certain high metacritic scores.

If bad reviews are stopping you from buying a game you are genuinely interested in, then you seriously need to work on developing your critical thinking.

Again, it affects sales so it isn't something that you can just simply ignore. And as I said, I would expect some integrity from so called "professional" reviewers. So if they want to inject their ideological dogma into a review I have ever right to call them out on their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Even so, my point still stands: their appreciation of the game evolved with time. Nothing wrong with that. I do that myself all the time when I write reviews on Steam.

Nonsense. They scored the game too high because they rushed a review out. Then they changed it multiple times because they are too pathetic to just take a stand and leave it as is. Instead, they continued to change the score according to public opinion.

My disagreement comes from your claim that whoever is playing must be a "SJW" and not an "actual" gamer. Which is stupid: again, I play first-person shooters all the time, yet I still suck with a gamepad. Does that make me a "non-gamer"? Or do I need to be just as good with a gamepad in order to earn my "gaming credentials"?

I would expect you to have the good sense to not record and upload gameplay of you playing with a gamepad to their official channel. Imagine if a host on Top Gear was rating the performance of a particular car and he was such a horrible driver he looked like someone who was trying to drive for their very first time. Do you not think that their would be a significant and warranted backlash? I don't expect reviewers to be MLG professionals or anything, but I do expect a certain degree of competence.

[Simatron3000]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that when the term "social justice" is used in academic circle is not the same as the definition relating to the internet/gamergate definition.

Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr were "social justice warriors" in the traditional sense. If you described someone as a social justice warrior to your grandparents I would bet they would see that as positive.
