Please tell me this is bait, please tell me this is bait, please tell me this is bait.

It's sad when reality and journalists are so retarded it's impossible to tell the difference between clickbait retardation and genuine retardation. This is a problem.

That voice makes me want to commit sudoku.

Starship Troopers is a book, not a movie. Sure, the movie's fun, but it's not Starship Troopers.

I think "role playing" should mean something more than simply a game type where you take a character class, level up, and tick off branches on a skill tree.

Well...I have great news for you, you fucking moron...

It's...a really bad take but not without some actual meat on it. I get what they're trying to say, but it's just really dumb.

Just because I can try to talk my opponents into not planting the bomb in Counter Strike doesn't make it a roleplaying game. This is an example of why we need to gatekeep harder. I don't want people this stupid to be anywhere near my hobby.

I'm going to make a bold guess and say she (?) never once played the game.

All game "journalists" should be made to stream them playing any game they review. I imagine 95% of them would end up like this.

Only way to salvage this is to claim they meant it was the best Rocket Propelled Grenade on account of how hard it bombed after that whole fiasco with Sony sticking their hands in things.

The inevitable point where all the "best games" that journos talk about are RPGs is that if a game is really good it must also be an RPG somehow.

I mean, it has equipment you can change. That was enough for the Modern God of War games to become RPGs.

Why does she deliver the whole spiel with that grin on her face?

Her defense for it being an rpg game is her and her squad mates pretending to be actors making a b movie? It's not even a question of genre bending or some game theory hypothetical, it's just her head canon. I think a journalist should be more objective than that even in a personal review.

There's always some dipshit out there who believes they're blowing peoples' minds by being ignorant of genres. "Well, when you think about it, in a street fighter you're playing the role of the fighter you choose, so that's actually a role playing game." Or they're genuinely ignorant of gaming, which is much more likely for a "gaming journalist."
