Drinker, what are your thoughts on an American president trying to inspire a coup?? A lot of Trump support fo someone who doesn't live here and see his effects. lol

Water isn’t just overrepresented in video games. It’s overrepresented in the real world. More than 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in the stuff. Dry land gets only 30%! If you care about equity and social justice, you’ll agree that this is NOT FAIR and must be STOPPED.

Imagine being so stupid that you criticize games like witcher 3 for having an all white cast even though its in Poland where the entire population is white, but when games like ghost of Tsushima have a all asian cast, its good, its just racist to have criticism like this considering how white people cant have diverse games in there continent but everyone else can? i would rather watch cats (furry the movie) for a week than read articles like this an polygon or kotaku

as much as I agree wiht thsi video, it's still funny that most sane people had given thsi game far lower scores than 7 ^^

I may be wrong, because I really like Jameson and Guinness, but isn't media that specifically focuses on sexuality instead of story called...porn?

I'm kinda glad I grew up reading actual, printed gaming newspapers, where actual gamers wrote real articles about their actual gaming experiences, could put it into context and comparison to the other products of the industry and even had their independency so they could write a negative review about a big title if it actually turned out to be bad.

Only a thick armor of self-righteous ignorance could possibly deflect such a strong & sharp criticism. ...too bad they're all suited up.

Cyberpunk 2077 it’s a great game especially since the game it’s not woke, SJWS got mad because of it

It's not enough to not be a gamer. You must openly despise and antagonise gamers and all what they like. Now I know what you're thinking: "it's insane to hate your audience openly" What? You expected me to say anything else?

Lol

That whole woke movement is just a different color of fascism. All extremes are bad. Equality is about tolerance and respect, not intolerance and discrimination.

this word "journalism" you keep using. i do not think it means what you think it means.

This guy deserve his own talk show... but not in that woke-trash calked BBC aka Biased BullSh!t Corp.

“Shiiiit. Hit the nail on the head, V.”

Hi, lately I´ve been watching some of your videos because i honestly enjoy them. In this one itput.info/zone/video/qJ-qm4hvrpnMhaA I´ve noticed that (@3:04) you include a pic and a comment driven by your political bias. Can you comment on that, please?

Drinker, I love how subtle your sarcasm is. That's one reason I'm a fan. It's amazing how many experts there are who know fxck all..

Preach the truth my hilarious, drunk friend! Still think Ghost of Tsushima should of won the golden joystick award.

In WAB we trust.

U never said shill. A glaring omission

New sjw game: Stunning and Brave. Start the game, instantly win. The end.

Hmm. In the end TLOU2 is an amazing & WORKING game. CP77 is pure shite.

Amen, Brudda. Keep up the good work. Careful though as they are going to cancel anyone who is a free thinker. Gotta drink the coolaide

I started writing for PC Zone magazine back in the day because I was highly vocal about games on the forums, and ended up playing left 4 Dead (the very first one) with one of the writers, until I was offered a sort of internship (meant they didn't have to pay me, which was good because Future Publishing was in the process of strangling them out of existence through budget cuts), which eventually led to freelance work. This included not only reviewing games... but I once did a couple of two-page spreads for the magazine about level design, in which I had taught myself, over the course of one month, to make levels for Left 4 Dead 2 and documented the experience, before putting the end result on the magazine's demo disc. I guess I represent the last generation of actual game journalists who were actual game enthusiasts - I got the job through gaming, and now here I am, working on my own indie title. Because it was always gaming that mattered to me. Somehow I don't see the current crop of journalists following this path. They probably won't even end up in PR, as many of the older generation of journalists did, because who in their right mind would want them promoting a game?

Story of my life....

So you like the orange man eh?

I would consider myself somewhat of an activist. But ya know where I'm going to go? on the streets. To the voting poles. Talking to the community. Places where you can actually make a difference. I'm not going to waste time throwing a bunch of pretentious lectures into video games or movies or the comics I write because those are an escape from busting your ass fighting the good fight. The extremism of "woke" culture is an insult to everyone who is trying to make a difference because it undermines everything we are trying to achieve.

I'm still playing and loving Cyberpunk to this day. The only thing I have noticed is how the world is literally propelling itself forward at an alarming rate towards the miseable corporate dystopia that it portrays!

Taking my hat off to you sir

It's always nice to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts

I do find myself feeling nostalgic and missing the good old days reading a bgamer magazine with my friends with a cool review and we all getting super hyped about a game when internet wasn't really a thing, and these cancerous so called "journalists" didn't exist yet.

I'm confused where people get the notion that games journalists get paid heftily. I REQUEST anyone here who believes that to actually ask a freelance games journalist, or a games journalist for a small site about that. PLEASE DO. Even ALANAH freaking Pearce, former IGN, now writing for SANTA MONICA stated in one of her videos she worked for free for her first SIX MONTHS. Please, if you want to know ONE THING about games journalists, it's that there's not a lot of pay in the work.

The determined leather luckily shop because siberian encouragingly learn notwithstanding a axiomatic screw. divergent, mundane peru

Cyberpunk was review bombed because they couldn't let another game other than TLOU2 be the GOTY.

I love the humor about this, but we act this way because its relatively new. It will turn to anger. And then who knows.

C.D., you’re a journalist. And yet here we are, listening to your opinions. My dad always said about reviewers: find somebody who you tend to agree with and listen to them. I’m happily listening to you, but I don’t hate journalists and I don’t think they are inherently idiots (the real ones anyway)

I want Batman to be a paralyzed non binary woman of color in the next Arkham game. We NEED more representation in video games. Developers have to *try harder*.

Dear Mr. (or may I say, fellow) Drinker, I am not a religious person but if you were to start a church I would probably join it. Your weekly sermons would be the bomb.

I wish that ‘why is there so much water?’ Was a joke but on my god I am dying

Is there a name to this demented fairy land of yours? What happens there when someone doesn't just "Go Away Now"? (Reference to 'death by tea cup' scene in Chronicles of Riddick) I keep remembering this scene every time I reach the end of one of Drinker's vids and he says it. :D

to be honest, the "too much water" one was a valid critisim that was just worded poorly, what they meant was "The new plethora of pokemon is heavily based toward water types over others, which cause non-water pokemon players to get less out of the game." IIRC

Cyberpunk in the state it was released compared to what was promised, didn't really deserve any higher a score than 7/10 but this video was spot on!

2:41 BEHOLD, EVERYTHING WRONG THE U.S. TODAY.

Just thankful that atleast someone covered this shit

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeee Lol I love this channel

This aged like milk.

This was a perfect roasting of SJW games journalists.

One "journalist" complained there were no trans characters... Firstly, the bartender (and street racer) you meet is trans. Secondly, it's 2077... Why would it even be obvious if someone were trans? Surely the technology exists to make basically anybody appear passing. CDPR could literally say "95% of the characters are trans", and you wouldn't know anyway, so wtf does it matter?

Well said, well said what is wrong with video game journalism etc.

That was magnificent.

Imagine if any of these loser woke journalists had to review the game postal. They'd be so offended they'd probably jump off a building. And I'm fine with that.

Genuine question. Why? What do they actually gain from this shit

The level design is horrible and the movement feels clunky. 10/10 game of the year material here.

Social justice warriors take over society and then all of entertainment dies ! Good work fuck heads

3:09 Everytime I am reminded of KingdomCome controversy, my sword gets sharper on its own...

I am detecting extreme amounts of sarcasm.

identity / grievance points are also a HUGE benefit for anyone wanting to do anything - in fact, merit can be thrown away altogether if you are lucky enough to possess such a privileged identity and generous enough to share the "virtue" of being in your presence with others who can bask in your identity and by pandering can achieve a small percentage of your worth

*Entertainment to escape reality exists* Journalists: this is bad cause it does not jam real world problems into the player's throats.

Critical Drinker for PM!

I'm actually fine with 'too much water' if that's a shortened way of saying the game has too much swimming(and swimming in video games SUCKS no matter how well they manage to get the controls down, even when you can navigate fine, it's just a fucking strain to get through)

Oh I remember the good ole' days when you said you were "good at games" and you got challenged to a 1v1 on Grinder in Quake 3. And you either got good or got FUCKED up. Now I guess being "good at games" can be attributed to single player games and like twitcher streamer garbage.... Weird. I gotta go get a MMMMonster kill. Laters.

6:51 "people such as yourself are as difficult to remove from your parent companies as a dog in tick" XD haahhaha I really wanted to play Cyberpunk, but after I realised they were trying to discover/force what the world will look like in 2077 I decided to not support this idea, because in my opinion minorities are the worst yet they rule the world right now... This is going in very wrong direction.

Reminds me of the swear words called Feminist Frequency. Where the main antagonist FAS-nita Sarkeesnazism

i never heard about journalism mode until now, wow and wtf actually

Activate cancel.exe Program activated.

And these same people are wondering why nobody is taking game journalism and comic books seriously anymore.

My sarcasm detection machine just exploded talking out 3 city blocks.

Thank you Sir..... You have managed to successfully articulate every grievance I have against journalists these days. It applies to everything not just games. I tip my hat to you.

Drinker you're so trusted to me I believed the first 30 seconds. I had to keep watching to know it was sarcasm😂😂😂

The activism virus is infecting everyone. Hell, I can remember a whole year ago when Jim Sterling was a real journalist, and not a BLM/LGBT activist musing about conspiracy theories about "the corporations" on why his viewership has fallen off a cliff.

I get your point. I think most people can aggree to the vast majority of your points dispite the clusterfuck of arguments of authority you use while accusing sjw of just that. But to be fair: TheQuartering was, is and probably will ever be problematic and is by far not without heavy flaw. I followed that guy for quite some time until he basicly became non stop inflammatory. He literally rallied people to cyberbully cosplayers and other mtg community member he dispised with at least the same zealous ignorance he accused sjw's to have. You can disagree with people and even OPPOSE people to use your right to express your values and opinion and do your part to determine the course of an community or state you live and participate in. If your very actions defy the base of your very actions and rights, you ceased to be quallified to influence anybody effect immidiately. (like sjw's do without realizing it) He once spoke about mental health issues he has, so i don't really know if you couldn't or simply did not want to stop his derailed actions, but i tried to take him as serious as possible and hold him accountable for the consequences he had coming for him. I just replied because i thought your edgy but therefore enjoyable commentary lacked a critical distance(by mentioning issues) to thequartering, which is certainly needed. So long, cheers.

Reputation is now useless.

Every time someone leaves a childish rude comment to you , if they have any content on their channel ( checked the playlists ) it will invariably be gaming or music videos . Think about that

A++

The sarcasm in the opening remarks is so sharp that I think I'm bleeding.

5:12 is particularly funny. ‘Oppression means I can’t afford a new PlayStation’.

I had no idea they banned kotaku like that. Might give me some hope for the future actually

As a fellow journalism, this video is a great out of 10

I thought Cyberpunk 2077 said f gender in the creation menus that's not enough ?

weird how some gaming journalists focus more about this stuff than reviewing and finding actual drawbacks in gameplay itself which people spending actual money for🤦🏻.

I don't care what or who I play, just make sure the enemies or and boss are scary as hell so I need prepare for an epic fight. The character is just a placeholder for myself it doesn't matter. The challenge and story does.

Now, leaving the woke crap aside... Kallie was mostly right. Cyberpunk is, plays and feels as she said.

If criticism of your critique is too critical for you then you're not a critic.

Why so much cyberpunk footage though? I was waiting for some BFV footage to show lol

I particularly like the part where you say games seek out the opinion of game journalists. I feel a bit of a disconnect here, since most game companies make the bonuses and others depended on the game score. If they are not important, why not make the bonuses based on "copies sold" or User score / Stream score? Also, why give game journalists free copies, free gifts, free trips etc? Any grown man can learn to form their own opinion based on factors he finds important. Players can make a Buy/not buy decision based on no-commentary gameplay. Game journalisms - at least what it is today - should just disappear. Any review of a game should provide sufficient proof that the reviewer made a significant effort playing the game - playing it through even, before their opinion should be considered valid. When CP2077 has 200+ hours of content and the reviewer played 10 in a rush, that is not a review, that's barely a first impression.

You follow metacritic you get what you paid for, whatever bandwagon is hip in the critic community. You have to find some critics you share taste with who have an entertaining presentation of their work. Like Drinker.

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I looked for a review of a game while deciding if I would purchase it. Mostly, I just check to see how much actual gameplay footage the devs have released. I feel like watching that gets me way more interested in the product.

"Why do the women in this game have breasts?" That had me dying.

I blame it all on China. China _wants_ capitalism to fail, and they're using _our_ money to pay these damn shills to shit on our very way of life. It's all about power and greed.

This game is the very definition of Feminism, Progressivism, and everything the Left wants in society... weirdly though, they hate the game entirely. Almost like the Left just wants to REBEL against everything without a reason for it.... for rage clicks $$$$$ Aside from the bugs, I fucking loved this game.

my only criticism of this video is the suggestion that reviewers make anything resembling a "good income." while they insult "basement dwellers" in reality they are usually supplemented or fully funded by their wealthy parents.

Cyberpunk was a let down. But not for THESE reasons god dammit!

there are different levels of intellect levels. Genius ,innovators, smart, normal, autistic, retarded and at last game/movie journalists

You had me all the way up until you implied game journos spend a few hours watching the game play itself. I'm not averse to a little hyperbole as long as the statement is possible even if implausible but come on now hours?

Freaking awesome

Excellent commentary!

this is a perfect video.

What has this man got In his mouth ?

You are now my favorite loquacious pontificator, and you have a new sub. I'll go away now!
