I trust individuals, not titles, especially titles which are basically interchangeable with "Journalism Drop Out".

Let’s ignore the fact that games journalists regularly beat entire games in a far shorter timespan than regular people who don’t have deadlines to meet.

This is pretty much exactly why people hate games journalists. They just try and rush through games as fast as humanly possible, as though seeing the credits means you've actually experienced the game. Would you trust a movie reviewer who watched all their movies at maximum speed to save time? How about a travel writer who just drove past all the tourist spots? No? Then maybe you can understand how gamers feel about hacks like this.
