Game Critics

Middleschoolerconnor is an adult now…

Btw 6yrs ago means 2018 not 2014

More true now than ever

Even though you said that sonic is bad I still watch you because you’re funny

I keep coming back to this video. So good. Dunkey spitting facts

The reviews that don't hold much weight. Friends are a more better source/actual gamers reviews

I dont understand peoples hesitancy to rate things lower than 7/10. Its not just critics, but even among my friends. if i say a movie or game was a 6/10 they assume i mean its complete garbage when i really mean its above average.

I like West of Loathing turn based combat.

Seeing all the same game journalism companies that seethed at this video now give Animal Well glowing reviews is the best full circle moment.

And now IGN gave Animal well a 9. That's kind of endearing not gonna lie

My favorite thing about Dunkey is how concise he is. This topic could easily have been an hour long, carefully dissecting the topic and building a case with evidence. Instead we get snappy editing, one liners and good writing that gets the core of the argument accross in under 10 minutes. Perfect

Wait watch Ranma 1/2 first before you disregard Rumiko Takahashi’s work 😭😭 Inuyasha is ok, but Ranma 1/2 is special

Oh shit

Is Studio Ghibli like the Nintendo of movies??

Have you watched Man Of Steel?

I honestly like the Prince of Persia movie, it's entertaining. And the ending is fulfilling, not a complete dogshit waste of time.

Damn this was amazing

The meltdown game critics had when this video dropped was so embarrassing, and also was a wake up call to not trust game critics

I did find it weird that the Crash Trilogy didn't you the option to play the 1st game with the quality of life improvements/additional moves added with 2. Mainly the slightly looser controls, more forgiving jumps, ability to slide, and the body slam.

Middle School Conner is now College Conner

Hello from 2024: This video is still painfully, absurdly relevant to superlative degree. For real.

I hope someday dunkey's soul will be rescued from the Gombo Dimenson

3D World is way the fuck better than 3D Land; what are you even on about?

Dunder is right about how you dont have to see eye to eye with a critic you like, cuz I actually like the majority of Sonic games

A new part in this series would be fascinating. As social discourse has skewed cultural discourse, reviews have become grounds for tribalism, and sites like IGN absolutely feed that fact for engagement. I don't think they'd post reviews beyond a score these days otherwise.

On another note, that final point is what I believe ultimately defines whether a critic is 'good' or not. Discussion of flaws should be contextualised in the greater discussion, rather than being their own points, unless they are particularly egregious. When I was a film critic, I had a publicist tell me the reason they always invited me to screenings and gave me interview access, despite the fact I worked for a small site that covered a wide range of topics, was because my articles reacted to the work without getting emotional. That Mario review does the opposite in the worst way. The guy lets his frustrations shape the review, then ends with a reaction to the work that reflects the zeitgeist (all Mario = good Mario) rather than his actual opinion. And he got paid for it, presumably. It's not only lazy work, it's entirely without value.

Second Wind's Mary Silva!

This is always topical

Corporatizing game reviews is where it all went to shit.

Uematsu must have loved Armond White. I'm playing FF6 and his theme is playing all the time!

Preach! Turn Based Combat is a waste of time.

At least Middle School Connor knows that Specter Knight is peak

I just realized he called the multiplayer bad on that mario game yet he said it has a little something for everyone. well obviously not

When they give Sparking Zero a 7, I came back to this video.

Two words: sonic unleashed

Im now here wondering why people treat game reviews as gospel

Did dunkey ever escape the gombo dimenson?

man of steel was a really great movie dunkey! the action was so good compared to the other atrocities DC has come up with lately! i was actually on the edge of my seat the first time I saw it! i mean okay the plot wasnt so good maybe, but those fight scenes and CGI deserve some credit for sure.

dont you dare talk shit about norbit

this video was meh 9.2/10

The most objective way to review something is by asking this: what is the most prominent aspect of this piece of media? Then you review that, instead of trying to quantify a bunch of details that may not be important in the grand scheme. That's why you can say that Nintendo games are a masterpiece, despite the fact that they aren't reall known for making good stories.

Damn bro really been out here breaking shit down in the comments that's sick

Marty Sliva absolutely incinerated in this video 😂

I wonder if he's still trapped in the gombo dimension?

Yea I stopped listening to this guy when he said RPGs suck
