Bad Game Journalism: White Knight Chronicles

Unknown | 1:09 AM |
This is a fine piece of journalism that I thought my readers would be interested in checking out. It showcases the inherent bias in many Western game reviewers toward Japanese made computer rpgs ("JRPGs", if you will).

Hey,

Thanks for linking this article! I appreciate it. It's cool to hear you thought it was good.

Those White Knight reviews were just poorly written all around. In retrospect, since the game is almost a year old now, I can safely safe those reviews seriously harmed White Knight. Before it even released it had three strikes against it. It still boggles my mind that almost all reviewers on the major game sites spent NO time with the online portion of the game, which is without question the heart and soul of the game. Those reviews shouldn't have even been published.Was White Knight a 10/10 RPG of the decade? Absolutely not, but it had a lot to offer gamers.

I like what you do on your YouTube page. Keep it up! I added a link to it on my site, so hopefully you get a little traffic coming your way. That Wikipedia video is great! I loved your dig at Kotaku :)
