Hmm, that sentence ain't gonna win no grammar awards. Eh, whatever.
So, remember gaming media?! Remember when we would rage about poor reviews and inflammatory editorials? Or poor editorials and inflammatory reviews?
I can remember, kind of. Bits and pieces. But I've been out of that world for so long. I can't even recall the last time I went to, say,
IGN.
I do still check out reviews for things like e-Shop games at places like NintendoWorldReport. And I'll browse the occasional E3 coverage. Most of my gaming info probably comes from podcasts these days. I'm like one those guys who gets all of their news from The Daily Show! Now that I think about it, though, almost all of the podcasts that I listen to are from independent, enthusiast sources. And you know what's nice to hear, every once in a while? Enthusiasm! Honestly, it's refreshing to hear people talk about games that weren't contractually obligated to play.
I dunno. Reading about recent layoffs at GameSpot kind of got me thinking about the current state of gaming media. With the proliferation of free online soapboxes, in addition to things like Nintendo Direct, I'm not really sure about the place of gaming media these days.
Maybe it's just a personal thing, though, since I don't really care enough to keep up with every single bit of gaming news like I used to. Perusing the Top Stories on GoNintendo once a week is enough for me.
Also, if traditional gaming media IS on the way down, it's probably due more to the rise of Youtube channels than anything else. I haven't really watched too much of that stuff, but I read some article about how many hits they generated, and it was quite eye-opening.
tl;dr - Do you still go to IGN?
