Review Scores have been around in gaming for a very long time, going as far back as the trade magazine Play Meter. While these reviews weren’t exactly the same as you would see in modern gaming publications, the DNA was there. The entire reviewing process would evolve over time and eventually get to where it is today with a variety of outlets having different interpretations of what reviews are, with some even doing away with the standard review score. Recently, gaming journalism and the entire reviewing process has come under fire with movements such as the early days of GamerGate taking issue with journalistic malpractice and more recently, the entire controversy over The Last Of Us Part 2’s review scores. This has led many to question whether or not reviews and their related scores are in fact even necessary. The boys dive deep on this topic.
Alongside that discussion, what's going on with Ubisoft? Despite having a huge showing with its Ubisoft Play event, the news was overshadowed by a awful string of allegations of sexual misconduct and an eventual firing of three massive figureheads. What We Do In The Shadows is a movie from 2015 and a currently running FX show and Josh has watched them, what are his thoughts? And what makes fishing a second job? We also delve deep into The Last Of Us Part 2, what do we think? Find out all this and more on this episode of Hunting Pixels.
Spoilers for The Last Of Us Part 2 begin at 1:26:23 and end at 1:32:40.
