@andyyjiang: crazy video game critic fail 😭

Dalorence :

Yea so all of this is misinformation, at least the cuphead thing idk about the rest. It wasn't even a review it was just him idly messing around in the game while being engaged in conversation with the devs and his colleagues just uploaded the footage as a joke because it looked funny.

anonymous55 :

it is funny until you realise that these people can make or break a game, and them doign this can destroy studios and peoples livelihoods

RobotsAnger :

I'm sorry but he didn't realize you can LEVEL UP YOUR CHARACTER IN MASS EFFECT!? 🤦‍♂️

seth :

Fun fact: This guy does all the game play for mobile game ads

Jo :

that kind of just makes me feel bad

angel :

i dont think you have to be ""good"" at a game to write reviews, but the bare minimum is to have an understanding of the mechanics

UwU (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ :

you don't hate game journalists enough

MJ :

IGN was like this for years. Used to read a lot of their reviews and their main complaint for these games was that it was "too difficult". They play games for a living, paid to review them. How are they that bad as professionals? It defies logic

Rian :

he did NOT review games for 18 years!! he was a fucking BUSINESS REPORTER

k_yuki :

so basically IGN

JG :

Dean Takahashi is a business reporter not primarily a game reviewer. Microsoft was part of his beat and he's written in depth business books on the releases of the Xbox and 360.

Happy Hamtaro :

Me when I lie on my resume to get the job 😂

___ :

Nah the mass effect one is lowkey worse

cj :

I feel bad he looks so sweet

stan.t518 :

imagine a Michelin judge doesn't have taste buds

Alex Dolan :

it was the one reviewing doom i think, saying the soundtrack was mediocre but the soundtrack was linked to how well you were killing in game

BJDware :

from a developers viewpoint, it should be educational to see such footage.

𖣂 :

First time seeing bro in 2026

Looks2Far :

Game journalists are some of the few people who get paid to not do their job.

Jonah💤 :

Dean takahashi uploaded this as a joke to show how bad he was and gave the game a good review btw

hypercolored :

Always remember that game journalists are just regular people with no insight into gaming or special gaming skills. If you’ve been into gaming for 10+ years, you probably know more about games than them.

Fernando_CD :

I mean look at what IGN had to say about Arc Raiders when they got to preview it before the game officially launched, they gave it a bad review and thought it wasn’t gonna do great.
