Death to the Fanboy Press 71

Posted by Zonk from the we-haven't-been-14-years-olds-for-quite-a-while dept.
Kotaku has yet more commentary on the gaming press, where Brian Crecente complains about the childish nature of gaming magazine coverage. This commentary is based on an IGDA commentary piece by Matthew Sakey about the sad state of adult-oriented gaming press. From the article: "What about the magazine did I like the least? Maybe it was the jet lag, but I answered truthfully: 'Sometimes I think your magazine acts too childish. I could do without the stuffed animals and Godzilla jokes and Nerf gun battle pictorials. I'd rather see more in-depth coverage of gaming trends and the ideas that games produce, and less obsession with technology. If we want games treated as a hobby that's as much for adults as children, then we should act more adult. Fun, but grown-up.' This answer pleased them not, and in retrospect it occurs to me that had I shown a bit more tact - for which I am admittedly not famous - I might have gotten the job."

    Edge Magazine [edge-online.co.uk] is a fun but serious gaming magazine for, like, actual adults. Reading it is a rather odd experience. It has articles that are interesting and which you find yourself thinking about.

    It's a bit sad that this comes across as being unusual these days.

    • I agree. Even the old stalwarts have slipped (I picked up a copy of PCFormat a couple of months ago *shudder*). Edge is good, but I tend to prefer the oh-so-similar Game(tm) magazine. But only just.
      • Games(tm) has the depth of Edge, but without taking it all quite so seriously. It reminds me of the short-lived Arcade in that respect. These are all UK mags, but you can pick up games(tm) at Borders, along with the awesome niche mag Retro Gamer.
        • Crap I hit submit too soon.

          Anyway, Edge [edge-online.co.uk], which actually isn't at Borders, is still the godfather of serious, hardcore and well designed, game mags. If you've never seen it, it's well worth the $80 US subscription rate!

    • Yeah, Edge is often interesting, but more often it's writers are too busy frothing over press release hyperbole, spinning PR bull and mega-mega-ultra-alpha release mocked-up screen shots into "The Next Big Thing"(tm)

      More often than not, these games end up being run-of-the-mill shooters, RPGs or racers.

      They've been doing a lot more in terms of features, too, but those pages and words cut on the limits they can then use for reviews and/or previews.

    I tend to agree that most of the game magazines are more interested in hype and cheat codes than in the inner working of the games business. Right now, I think EGM is the best in terms of writing and industry coverage, but I really miss Next Generation magazine which was the first games related magazine I ever read regularly. It was a high quality publication that told the inner story of the games industry in addition to coverage of the latest games and hardware. It felt like it was written by adults for adults. Does anyone know if the Japanese games magazines do any better? I think gaming is a bit more respected there as an activity that is okay for adults to engage in. I wonder if the magazines reflect this.
    • I agree. Next Generation was a very good magazine. However, running a magazine is a business, and the subscription numbers just weren't there to bring in the advertising dollars. They tweaked with their formula to grow their audience but this only hastened the decline.

      • The reality is that the game magazine market hasn't grown at the same pace as the game market overall. This is something we dealt with at Next Gen -- the market was growing but the magazine wasn't. Basically that's because all the hardcore gamers were already buying magazines. The new people joining the game market weren't the hardcore, but the more casual gamers. I don't mean to say people who just want to play PC downloadable games, but people who just buy three or four games a year, not twelve or twenty

      Or maybe when more games have actually well-realized plot and characterization that serve as more than just a framework around which to wrap the gameplay or, in some cases, the tech demo. This isn't meant as a troll, as I don't mind a crappy story if the game itself is fun. Similarly, I'll sometimes endure repetitive or flawed gameplay if the story or characters are compelling. Some reviewers tailor their reviews to the game being reviewed. If story and characterization play a big part in the game, they are given a decent amount of discussion in a good review. The fact remains that it's still a video game, which implies gameplay is involved somewhere, and the fun derived from the gameplay is often the primary aspect of the game. As for tech, it can play a very important role in establishing an atmosphere, context, or environment to fit the gameplay and story. There are some games that simply don't work as well without impressive technology. The Splinter Cell games come to mind. Without the complex and impressive lighting used in the games, the gameplay does suffer.

      And all of this is not to defend all reviewers. I'm sure there are many that focus excessively or primarily on the technological feats achieved in the games. Impressive, and often necessary, as they may be, you're right that there are other aspects of the games that help determine whether it's actually worth playing.

    I got some bad news:
    Print magazines are a business. They try to make money. How do they do it?
    Well, one way is to sell to people who actually buy magazines. Who buys these things? Come on, when was the last time anybody actually bought a video game mag? Okay, here's a theory for you: video game press is like porn. Most people, given a choice, would rather participate in the acts depicted than read about them. So what are the barriers to playing video games and what demographics do they entail?
    A) Arbitrary limits on time. This affects kids above all. Parents limit video game exposure. Sure, some of you will say, so do spouses/significant others/jealous dogs, but reading about video games pisses them off just as much.
    B) Situations where playing video games is not appropriate. Teenagers have school, where the magazine format excels, discretely lining the inside of that boring-ass history book. Adults have workplaces; in the working class case, the magazine might still make sense -- though then one would be better served by bringing something everyone can enjoy, such as pornography. For many office types, vid web sites are not yet off limits.
    C) Where cash is short, web access controlled, and the magazine can be a handy guide to what to expect -- again, the younger crowd excels here.

    The other revenue source is of course advertising. Remember, automotive magazines don't shy away from tarnishing their journalistic integrity; many music mags don't either. So why should it surprise anyone that the bulk of video game magazines are basically shills for big companies? That's their business model! So it ain't called EA Weekly; that doesn't mean they don't make a living by pandering to Electronic Arts.

    Now, on to the rest of it. I don't care about anybody else's "experience" with the game; give me your evaluation. I don't want some masturbatory prose and long narrative about how the dystopic vision of GTA:SA validated a life spent in the parents' basement, cold, with the body never feeling the heat of a woman. I'd like to hear the "Take" on the game; that can include commentary on the structure, the vision, or whatever. But I don't wanna see an egotistic ass hijack the prose.
    Sure, there's a lot to talk about with video games, from the market, to how ideas are realized, to loading them full of Frankfurt School Marxism and making the players fritter away their only real chance to overthrow the oppressive system exposed by the game. So why beat up on perfectly legitimate bits of drivel?


    By the way, the word "impactor" offends me on so many levels, it's making me question my sexual orientation.

    Well, that is largely because the majority of the male gaming population acts like 13-year-old boys--
