I'm sure there are younger video game enthusiasts than myself that frequent your site, maybe they don't mind being patronized and condescended to, probably used to it. See, your audience isn't all children, in fact I'd wager my left testicle that a good percentage of your audience are 20+. Why would I do that? Because I have children, and they play games and the last thought that goes through their minds is "I WANNA READ SOMETHING", same with their friends. Older gamers are the ones that try to invest their money wisely due to the fact they have bills to pay, and they are the ones that place value on reviews and previews.

Why is it that moderators always eventually feel they need to act as parents to the people frequenting their sites? We have actual parents for that. You don't like your audience? Tough, you put yourself up on a public forum by which you ENSURE that you will be the subject of criticism.

This site perpetuates the "Console Wars" shamelessly, using crap titles and quotes that have been edited (not verbatim). During release it was nothing but "Which console won this month" or blah blah. Your very writing instigates petty internet arguments by making people think they need to defend their purchased toy because no matter which console you bought, you bought the lesser, dumber model and you must be mouth breather stupid to have done such a thing.

Not to mention that every other article has "1080p" or "30-60 FPS" blah blah. Now normally these are things I would want to know, but you insist on wording your articles in the most inflammatory way possible. Eddie Machooch is master of the click-bait article, and I guarantee that's exactly what he's after. Integrity doesn't even get considered because there's garbage to put out the door for the all-mighty paycheck. That's where my complaints have always been and I fully intend to call out people that refer to themselves as "journalists" each and every time they lazily forget to bring along their journalistic integrity to an article. See that whole integrity thing is what lends you credibility and will minimize the complaints you have. It's hard to argue with truth, but not so much when it comes to agenda pushing/bias/opinions. Don't prattle on about how a review is opinion, it's not. The important things: Tight controls, smooth frame rate, lack of bugs/glitches, esp game breaking ones. I couldn't care less if you think a game is misogynistic, overly graphic with its violence, or anything anyone might disagree with you about, SEEING AS HOW ITS OPINION.

You reap what you sow, and to listen to you people (by which I mean moderators, article writers (I refuse to call you journalists) and video content creators) turn on us, patronize us, condescend to us and then turn off the comments because your moderators aren't feeling like doing their job, is just as infuriating as watching you guys flush "gamers" down the toilet with your craptastic representation of us.

Turn on a profanity filter, let people say what they want, erase comments that are only there to personally attack and for the love of god stop trying to patronize me. At 36 years old, I can decide whether or not I want to write or read profanity.
