When Did Gaming STOP Being Fun? - Ep. 48 - Morrowind, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Civilization, Madden

from Gamer’s Advocate · host Gamer’s Advocate

Join AMKomnenos, Banana, and Legion as they dig into a very pervasive concept within the video game community especially in regard to the game review process: comparison being the thief of joy. We discuss the trend within the gaming community to anticipate disappointment in new game releases, and the tendency to fall back on the "this isn't as good as the previous game" criticism. Does this same bias exist in other media? Do we encourage this behavior within the community? Do developers encourage it with their behavior?
