Looking for a fun and easy way to potentially win $20? The LG UltraGear Gaming Monitor Giveaway is your chance to win a $20 gift card to use on Steam. How do you enter? All you need to do is tune in to watch the LG UltraGear Face-Off.
If you’re a PC gamer, you are probably familiar with LG’s products, such as the 27” UltraGear 4K UHD Nano Compatible Gaming Monitor. Here are the details on LG’s giveaway.
During the Face-Off, four teams formed of players from Apex Legends, Overwatch, Fortnite, Call of Duty and CS:GO will compete in Valorant. Each team will feature 5 players, and the format will be a Double-Elimination tournament.
One team will consist of players from Overwatch and Apex Legends, and will be called “Team Hero-shooter.” Another will consist of Fortnite players, and be called “Team Survival.” The next will be “Team Delta,” with players from CoD. The last team will be “Team Striker,” consisting of CS:GO players. The idea is to find out which players from which games best are able to translate their skills and strategies to Valorant.
The tournament will take place on October 3rd, 2020, at 16:00 ET.

Hey guys.
I decided to make a return to this forum after so long. @Executor Akamia probably has been holding my spot while I was gone but for now I am going to be back to my own antics.
If you're wondering what I've been doing:
Work.

Pre-builts will never compare to custom builts. Especially because some of those builds aren't going to be optimized for a specific purpose. Usually it's always better to go and make a custom build.
 
But yes, I agree with you on the laptops part. Always go for brans like Alienware with Laptops

Since I won't be reviewing the game anymore, I'll tag @killamch89. I owe him this.

A lot of people think that eSports comes with rules set in stone. This is false, especially with games like Super Smash Bros. eSports are a niche that continues on evolving and a lot of people don't notice this kind of growth. There have been many controversial matches in Super Smash Bros. history that have brought new rulesets and also resulted in the biggest cases of someone being angry and feeling completely cheated out of a game.
But, this is the way that we learn and grow as a competitive game. So long as matches as this exist, people will learn how to further evolve and adapt the game.

Ugh, I fucking loathe microtransactions.
I wish we could get full games

HUNT THE HERETIC LOL

Have you tried playing while laying on the bed lol

Burn the heretic!
🔥

Same, because people can get frustrated with games and scream at them at most. So ysah, no need to blame gaming here.

I'm more inclined to believe it's an anger management issue, though without knowing if this man has a history, I can't say one way or the other, myself.

You did good Matt

Wait.. Blowing into the cartridge didn't do anything?
> 1 research later <
OH MY GOD THAT WAS A MYTH!

I think the game needs to exist first

With the latest moves in the industry like the whole fragmentation of the PC playerbase with the EGS and Steam?.. I think console gaming will rise once more.

Remember that time I had a 3DS with no games on it?
Good times.

I know we're making a mountain out of an anthill but HOLY SHIT how fucking dare they omit such a staple feature?! Come on Sony!

Here we go again! Expecting high quality like always!

I think the game needs to exist first

Well, I'm not because I still believe your music is solid
FUCKING WORD.

I think the game needs to exist first

I think every review must be taken as one person's opinion, whether that be a regular user or paid reviewer, everyone has their biases, some intentional, some unintentional, collectively user reviews can be helpful but even that is not infallible, that's why it's important to get as many different opinions as possible from as many sources as possible, if your on the fence about something. With review bombing, both negative and in the case with Ubisoft and Assasin's Creed Unity, positive, reviews might not always be indicative of the game itself, but of the company or companies behind it, so take each review individually and see if they have valid reasoning for their review, mostly any "review bombed" review can be easily identified, so if the reasons behind a game being review bombed aren't a concern to you, then ignore those reviews.
As for the practice of review bombing, mostly of which is used negatively, i understand and like the idea of customers having a voice, and it has an effect to be sure, it also does help make others aware if there are some major issues, they might not have been aware of, but it also does make it more difficult for those who might not care about the issues, so perhaps there is a better way to be heard, i don't know, but it does work, as it hurts the bottom line when users are turned away by the bad reviews, and that's what companies tend to listen to, anything that hurts the bottom line. So, I think that is important too.
 

I probably shouldn't get involved in this, but... no, the context of AVGN's mention wasn't to claim he was the be-all-end-all. He was mentioning a counterexample. James Rolfe is "one of us", if you will, and an example of a particularly prominent figure disliking the game.
Incidentally, I don't know if Rolfe himself actually hates Street Fighter 2010. The Angry Video Game Nerd, like the Nostalgia Critic when it comes to film reviews, is a character. As I understand it, Rolfe himself does enjoy some games the Nerd hates, though unlike Doug Walker, Rolfe isn't in the habit of giving even an unscripted, out-of-character review after the fact. Actually, I'm not sure even Doug does that consistently... Oh well.
While there are often actual criticisms in the shows, the actors don't always hate a game/movie as much as their characters do. The entire point of AVGN is to emphasize the negatives of a game, to the point that in early episodes, he rarely had anything good to say. NC does this sometimes too, but from what I've seen, not nearly as much.
Over time, both shows struck a balance and started resembling regular reviews, from what I've seen of recent stuff, skits aside of course. Street Fighter 2010 was an episode where AVGN was definitely in his "heavy emphasis on the negative" phase.

I'm going to say what I think here.
I won't pretend like people know what they talk about most of the time because it's been proven many times that not even us critics know..
If critics who are supposed to know about the media they are criticizing aren't competent enough to do a good review. Then why would a random user know what they're talking about? A lot of people either tend to be consumed by their own hype and tend to be blinded by the truth. Much like how @Alyxx pointed out: Opinions change a lot and a lot of people don't take certain key aspects into consideration while making their initial judgement.
So you'd think I would be more lenient towards criticism made by media outlets.. However.
This is the ideal that people have begun to be drawn to when it comes to the subject of "User Reviews" or "Reviews" in general. A lot of people think that an Influencer tends to be part of someone's payroll in order to review the game, as seen below:
So, what's the best conclusion someone can draw from this?
Well, obviously read the reviews from someone you trust and let your own experience be the judge of whether or not you can actually enjoy the games by yourself. Users don't really know much about what they're talking about because most of the time, opinions can change and people only look at face impressions rather than something on the long run. Some professional reviewers don't take multiple audiences and the long-term gain into consideration either. As such, I always tell people to trust whoever they think will give the adequate judgement and to make a judgement of their own regardless of whatever any critic has to say.
If you enjoy the game, it's a good game. Nobody will take that away from you. However, people also should learn that enjoying something doesn't make it good automatically.. That's why we have to reach a common consensus based on opinions drawn by the masses and critics alike.
