Yea, waypoint continues to be too much on the hipster-side of gaming things. Nope.

"The highschool of video games" isn't even hipster though. It's just baaaaaad. Like this could be a cartoon on mtv bad.


I want to know who over there thought that a highschool themed anything was a good idea.

Yup. Problem is they want to be serious and "better" and try too hard to make that shine through all of their articles and headlines. I seriously despise that and I am usually not that harsh about that, but it's just bad and embarrasing.

edit: When's the site fixed! I want to listedn to GOTY NOW!
edit2: It's fixed!
 
So I just signed up for Premium for the first time, you guys got any recommendation where I should start? There is a ton of content to go through, I'm kind of lost to where I should start haha.
 
I thought waypoint's GOTY was going to be served through discord screenshots

fake edit; I get the desire to stick out when there's so many top 10 lists, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get out of their chosen format.

Was Mario party party live premium? If so, start there.

Thanks, I'll start with Mario Party and later move on to Metal Gear Scanlon I guess.

I still love Austins writing but everything else about Waypoint is very off-putting, including the quality of some of the other writers on the site.
 
If 'Giant Bomb 26 |
(too spicy)
' isn't the next thread title, then I'm gonna post even more/less* in that thread than in this one.


*delete whatever is the worse, as applicable
 
Waypoint to me feels like they're trying to be self-aware with their stuff, but are somehow managing to do it in a super not self-aware way. Maybe that doesn't make any sense.
 
I mean, let them be weird, that's cool. But I don't even like role-playing, so this is just exhausting.

Vice's target audience is young, open-minded (to the point of cultural voyerism), weed smoking people.

You are probably way older than their target demo
Have you seen their articles and videos? It's really not aiming for young people.
 
I'm a 21 year old bleeding-heart liberal, I loved Austin at GB, and I browse tumblr more than any other social media site. I should be smack dab in Waypoint's wheelhouse. But like I said, they're so aggressively hip that it feels calculated and cynical rather than fun and inclusive.
 
I might have to ask you old man questions in the future, Incandenza. Finally I've found one of those tumblr kids.
