I'm not kidding guys. This is their mindset there. They think games made by Activision and EA are the best games ever. They will poke fun at small things like AC Unity constantly needing updates and having weird graphical glitches that are more terrifying than anything you see in doom. But overall they still give those games phenomenal scores even if the games are actually suffering from borderline personality disorder. The games they give these high scores to are not fun or innovative in any way. So much of the potential with these games is wasted on menial bullshit.

Then you have Doom, a franchise that hasn't had a new game since 2004 that feels unique among all the FPS garbage that exists out there today. However they consider that "repetitive" and "meh".

I seriously wonder how some of these assholes that work for these companies even get into gaming journalism. I read some of these reviews and I think to myself do these people even enjoy playing video games? Like wtf are they doing writing about video games if they can't even properly play a video game Polygon let alone give a game that is doing something games used to do but hasn't been done for nearly 20 years a low score simply because it's doing something older games used to do.

That in my mind is a game that is doing something right and this new doom is honestly a breath of fresh air compared to all the garbage FPS games I've been playing the past 10 years. It's like when you're swimming and you've gone to deep and are running out of air so you swim for the surface as fast as you can and come out of the water at waist height because you were swimming to the surface so fast just so you can inhale as much air as possible because it literally felt like you were on the brink of death.

That's what playing this new doom feels like to me and it's disappointing to see IGN give it such a medium score when we all know they will give Infinite Warfare a 9.5/10 simply because it's Call of Duty.
