Today we will discuss which games should win our award for "Best Shooter" and who should receive our "Gamers Are Dead" award for the worst piece of Gaming Journalism!
Once again, don't forget to leave videos of walk-throughs, useful reviews, and/or links to sale pages.
Here's a few contenders:
- Kotaku: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Fans Are Obsessed With A Yassified Water Starter Evolution (They want to fuck a pokemon)
- Kotaku: The Furries of GTA Online Just Want To Play, But Jerks Get In The Way (Furry GTA Clan advertisement)
- Kotaku: Report: Man behind Pelosi hammer attack was radicalized by Gamergate (Blaming you for the naked hammer-time attack that they do not want to talk about)
- Kotaku: Here's how to add U.S. Supreme Court justices to Minecraft for no reason at all (literally insinuating violence against SCOTUS)
- Kotkau: Stray Falls Into The Usual Orientalism Pitfalls Of The Cyberpunk Genre (The game where the protagonist is a cat and everyone is a robot is racist)
- Polygon: "GamesGames Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 setting has a problem with fascist fans. Alt-right partisans have tried to co-opt the hobby, using images of brutal despotism from its dystopian setting to further their cause."
And just as a reminder:
We're still right about Polygon: https://archive.vn/evgnA

For me this is a dead category.
Haven't played any shooters released this year, and honestly I think gaming journalism has been so discredited that they haven't put out anything significant enough to be worth mocking.
I'm still okay with shooters you play, new or not. Frankly, I think that speaks to the better statement of poor quality releases.
As for gaming journalism, I think some of these are pretty bad. And it's good to have some traditions that keep us to our roots.
Only shooter I played more than an hour or so this year was Borderlands 3 and thats just because I got it for free. Literally have to skip every voice line and cutscene because they are so cringe.
The gameplay is really good through so its sad about the story.
I think I've aged out of game journalism, I can't bring myself to even click on the bait headlines anymore.
