![nib95_'s tweet photo. PC Gamer gave 007 First Light a 65/100, its lowest score.
Unfortunately a scathing review was a foregone conclusion as the journalist they picked for the review; Joshua Wolens, has publicly revealed his contempt for James Bond and notion he shouldn't even be in games.
In an article titled "Hear me out: What if James Bond just shouldn't be in videogames?"
Joshua refers to Bond as a "smug tool" that "doesn't quite fit into games", in part due to being "an insufferable public school dickhead...a rowing club Tory boy through and through", who "comports himself like a man who has a right to the Earth and everybody on it."
And later that "part of his charismatic arrogance is that he is suave and unflappable. Well, great. Good for him. I am not suave, and I flap at the slightest inconvenience. I simply don't fit into him?"
Which could almost be mistaken for jealousy, but also begs the question, why the need to completely relate to or embody a character in order to enjoy the media?
Some of my fave games and media in history follow characters who are nothing like me, often times murdering psychopaths or mix of some other morally repugnant or deeply damaged concoction.
Call it emotional maturity being able to engage and really enjoy media and characters beyond having to feel wholly self reflected or personally pandered to.
It's no wonder in the review Joshua writes "you still have to endure him [Bond] for the length of the game", like it was some torturous ordeal for him.
Compounded by him admitting he "was ravenous to play anything with the IO badge on it after the masterpiece of Hitman: World of Assassination", but clearly disappointed the next game was Bond IP.
Presumably desperately wanting them to go back to working on a chatacter/IP he doesn't have contempt for, that or for IO to re-work Bond into being something he was never intended to be.
All leading to the main question; why give the review to someone who clearly despises Bond, didn't enjoy the preview and who's conclusion from it was implying Bond shouldn't be in games?
For clicks, exposure or drama?
Because to me it's somewhat unprofessional. Akin to giving someone who hates racing games and Gran Turismo in particular, GT7 to review. Or someone whe hates Mario, a Mario game to review.
Reviews are to inform potential buyers, and buyers don't tend to buy or want to buy things they already hate or dislike.
This doesn't feel that different from these grifting social media hate merchants who hate play games in a bitch eating crackers way, to either look for faults or through a lens of premeditated confirmation bias.
Is this what PC Gamer or parts of gaming media are devolving into now?
Find the journalists with the most contempt for a particular IP, character or genre to review them, in order for the highest chance of dunking on the work of hundreds or thousands of people, but getting extra edgy exposure?
Disappointing.

@Amai_the_fox I was worried getting towards the end of it thinking are they going to do something with hugh and the mod, I'm glad they didn't just have you go through it with hugh dieing a 2nd time aha
Potential spoiler for those that haven't played the extra mode.
Pretty sure the extra mode on pragmata hints at hugh being alive, there's a scene where the bot in the shelter pretty much insinuates its hugh pointing out he's alone.
So I'd love a sequel ahaha
Capcom confirms they're considering developing ‘Pragmata’ into a series 🎮
The game sold 2M copies in its first 16 days
I saw that people were saying there was others saying this was woke, I just thought if this woke then I'm woke as fuck ahaha
Its almost as if they didn't play the games enough to know about faye being a badass.

It was a great showcase, plenty of game releases due this year and next, getting to see more gameplay from the titles in the showcase, like I don't know what people are expecting
Nunca pensé leer que un evento con:
- Nuevo GoW
- Wolverine
- Rayman Retold
- Nuevo Silent Hill
- Tomb Raider Remake
- Onimusha Demo
- Until Dawn 2
Es "decepcionante".
No sé qué os ha pasado gente, pero ya no os gustan los videojuegos.
Watching the ps showcase, looks like I'll be broke in september so far ahaha, really good end of the year so far before seeing the other showcases 😂♥️
playing an indie horror then switching it up, not sure if its a short or long stream, depends how I feel :) https://t.co/NrZ3KbcL31 https://t.co/NuRjsIqiq0
I would be okay with this ahaha
AMC Theatres is implementing a controversial new policy to crack down on bad theater etiquette.

Can't remember if ign bought out pcgamer but you'd definitely believe it reading their reviews, don't think I've ever read a main character being called a dickhead aha, just make me think I should play it more

Playing some more pragmata, maybe some co op games later :) https://t.co/NrZ3KbcL31 https://t.co/NuRjsIqiq0
Ended stream a little early just so I can hopefully get some energy back but wanted to say I'm loving pragmata so far and definitely recommend it!
Playing some more pragmata, maybe some co op games later :) https://t.co/NrZ3KbcL31 https://t.co/NuRjsIqiq0
Starting with some pragmata, maybe some co op games later :) https://t.co/NrZ3KbcL31 https://t.co/NuRjsIqiq0
Waking up a bit with some leon must die, then switching over to either ts2 or pragmata if not co op games :) https://t.co/NrZ3KbcL31 https://t.co/NuRjsIqiq0
