    @Helldiver_M That reads exactly like a typical dumb shit Kotaku article. No wonder, because it was trained from human data. I don’t know what’s more shocking, that our News outlets by human is so bad we think a robot wrote it, or if the AI is that good that we think a human wrote it. Both perspectives are frightening.

      Video game journalism has been crappy for a long, loooong time. You ever read pre-Ziff Davis EGM or GamePro? It’s like a lobotomy in print form.

        Yet, there always has been a good journalism, either very quality reviews describing well the game in question, or very funny articles making fun of a game that is otherwise boring or bad.

          I’m not saying the magazines of the time were totally devoid of good gaming coverage. Video Games and Computer Entertainment was a solid, substantial read… the layout was nothing special, but the writing was pure quality. Kind of helped that they were writing articles for adults and not edgy fourteen year olds, or nine year olds hopped up on sugar.

            Agree. And yet again, there was reason why gaming bloggers and YouTubers like TotalBiscuit got so much popular. Gaming Journalism crashed.

            I am not disagreeing with you, I grew up on Level and Score personally.

        Yo I loved EGM back in the N64 era and I’m pretty sure that was Ziff Davis. Then again maybe I was lobotomized with a magazine.

          Ziff-Davis EGM was pretty good. Pre Ziff-Davis EGM (the Sendai era, from 1989 to 1997) was not.
