YongYea's Correction

[LemonyNebula]

So, he made a video originally saying that you where forced to pay for an alternate ending, or wipe your entire progress. After being corrected, he went out of his way to apologise.

This was the best thing he could have done. However... the amount of praise someone gets for owning up to a mistake is almost better than if they don't say the mistake in the first place. Kind of frustrating that people can jump into something without doing the research, then if they are caught out, just have to say sorry and get bonus points.

Not saying it isn't great he pointed out his mistake and removed the video, I'm not trying to discourage that. Just an observation.

the damage is already done.
hes made his fanbase not buy the game at launch where its most important.

he might of owned up to it. but hes still a ♥♥♥♥ for lieing in the first place.

I don't think he did it intentionally personally, but he certainly did it unproffesionally. When you ask for money, you best do the job right. People shouldn't let their heart rule their head, he should have checked the facts himself before he covered it.

I disagree, he has an axe to grind and has been doing the same biased videos for a good while now. Generally anything related to Kojima and/or Konami ends up like that because that's just who he is.

Whether he should atleast try to be professional and unbiased when he's asking money though, absolutely. If you want people to really take you seriously then you should be serious about it yourself instead of simply reading an article aloud and telling people how they should be outraged that something happened and how outraged you are about it. Then it's just sensationalism and you aren't really contributing at all.

And a point you made previously, everyone and their mothers are copying eachothers articles with barely any research put into it past a source in another site that may end up with no real sources at all if you follow down the rabbit hole. Takes a couple hours to do that basic background research before talking about something and say "Hey, allegedly so and so happened. I did some research into this, and there doesn't appear to be any backing evidence...". But saying he has to do it in order to make people aware it's happening when he himself isn't breaking any news everyone else hasn't already made videos or articles about is just a cop out excuse when you don't want to admit he's in it for the money.

if you want to earn money reporting stuff you should at least have a source inside a company you are reporting on, like a real person with intimate knowledge about what you are reporting on. Collaging other people's articles into your own is plagirism. If he was really a professional he would be accused of not doing his own leg work and relying on other people's sources. His 'work' is not worth paying for and that is the sad truth. His videos are like 8th grade oral assignments.

Here we go again with the "He's asking for money" thing again! Anything relating to Kojima and/or Konami ends up like that because of how he feels about the whole debacle between Kojima and Konami.

Asking to donate to his Patreon which he says in every video which is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL I will add, isn't "asking for money". "If you want people to really take you seriously then you should be serious about it yourself instead of simply reading an article aloud and telling people how they should be outraged that something happened and how outraged you are about it. Then it's just sensationalism and you aren't really contributing at all." You clearly don't understand that that's how Yong does things. He's basically just giving his thoughts and opinions on whatever topic he's talking about which you seem to not be realizing.

"Collanging people's articles into your own" Lol, Yong has never done such a thing. More asinine BS pulled of of your ass as well as somebody else who is completely clueless as to how Yong does things.

You either don't get the subtext or you are just here to defend little poor Yong who does things "his" way.

If i spend months telling you how terrible companies are and then ask you to give me money so we remain free from those companies, that's pretty much playing to a cultivated fear. You can try to defend him all you want but it's funny that at the same time you basically back up everything I say but excuse it with "It's just the way he does things".

The whole point of this is his way of doing things which is lazy and sometimes dishonest. Also the asking for money is fine, doing it in the video, the first post and the description of the video without even bothering to give you a link to his source articles or doing basic research shows where the priorities lie.

You may want to read before blidly defending your idol or whatever.

EDIT: And if you do want to go down with this "it's his way of doing things" then why is he even relevant if all he's gonna give you is his opinion? Everyone has opinions, I could go ask the granny down the street if she thinks a game is good instead.

Well I'll admit I'm pretty clueless as to what research process Yongyea goes through for his videos but if the MG:S "review" is any indication of how he operates typically then I'd say he's at best a hack. He played just about only the tutorial, tried to pass that off as the entire game, was incorrect on the microtransactions, let his extremely obvious bias against konami take the wheel and prevent him from doing a real review and used the mindless hate from kojima fanboys to to attack the game.

To his credit he did one correction on a minor incorrection while at the same time doubling down on the microtransaction ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. So you know, one step forward three steps back. But at least his ♥♥♥♥ wasn't as cringy and time wasting as AngstyJoe's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hamfest he tried to pass off as a review and god knows Jim Sterling's review is absolute ♥♥♥♥ on par with the stuff Digital Homicide shoveled out when steam still tolerated their presence

I did read what you said, and the last I checked, Yong hasn't said anything about telling people how they should be outraged that something happened and in no way is using sensationalism like you are claiming.

"If i spend months telling you how terrible companies are and then ask you to give me money so we remain free from those companies, that's pretty much playing to a cultivated fear." You have seriously got to be absolutely full of it! Asking somebody to dontate to their Patreon and that it is absolutely 100% optional so that he can remain 100% independent after talking about how terrible companies like Activision/Blizzard and EA are is in absolutely no way "playing to a cultivated fear" which you just happened to pull out of thin air.

And he does give sources, which is something that you continue to flat out ignore from what I've noticed.

First off, Yong didn't do a review for the game because he flat out said that he won't be purchasing the game. Secondly, He didn't let his extremely obvious bias against Konami take the wheel and neither did he use the "mindless hate" from Kojima fanboys to attack the game. That has seriously got to be the biggest load of steaming BS I have read in a while.

I always have to facepalm and shake my head when it comes to closed minded idiots who have this false assumption that all of this hate towards Konami is part of some bandwagon or etc. not taking into consideration that the hatred that people have for Konami is very much 100% justified and real.

This whole video is Yong saying what he thinks and feels about a situation with no evidence whatsoever.

However likely the claims that the Devs wanted to put Kojima in the special thanks but Konami would not let them, it is completley baseless. Where on earth is the evidence for this?. At least he doesn't call it a 'news update' but why even make a video?

"ooo Kojima said that he appreciated what Konami did for his career but evil Konami won't even thank him by name except for the time they thanked 'ALL' staff, but I found that impersonal!"

Yeah, I still don't like Konami much, but they didn't NEED to thank anyone and they thanked the entire staff which included Kojima. The whole team worked on the game and they gave the whole team recognition.

Talk about personal Vendetta, the only reason he said he's not putting it out to kiss ass is because he knows it is what he is doing.

he does that every video, he qoutes from other people's articles, reddit posts and company press releases. EVERY SINGLE VIDEO.

well he was never wrong about the game being a flaming pile of trash...

The rush to attack everything about this game has already done it's damage.

Yeah but most people don't care, they only care about making money or maintaining the fantasy that their idols can do no wrong and that they themselves are speaking naught but truth.

But pests are still flocking to this forum to continue to attack it, and its users for no legitimate reason.

Honestly, if any review mentions anything about the company, it has already lost its credibility.
You aren't reviewing the game at that point, you're bringing politics into the equation. You aren't judging the product, you are judging the company's product.

And those two are entirely different things.
I know this, because I used to be one of those people. I judged Payday 2 because of Overkill the developers. And I judged it harshly (Back in the whole Microtransaction fiasco), but if I were to calmly and logically judge the game as a game, the game was actually decent and fund.
