When they have never made a game?
>>729205724consuming enough media of a certain type does at the very least give you some insight on works or doesn't work for the audience. That feedback is still useful, despite them never having created something themselves.
>>729205724>you gotta be a chef to say some food tastes like shit
The bulge in her pants needs to be bigger.
>>729205724Because you can understand game design by playing games and reading books. It'd be a different story if they made videos on how to develop a game with no experience and no published games, but game design is a separate thing and you don't need dev experience to understand it. Also, that's a man(on).
>>729205921>That feedback is still usefulis there a single notable game creator who cited/thanked a game design essayist for their insight?
>>729205724That is one ugly ass woman
>>729205724I hate to make a food reference, but it'll be relevant.I make candy. I can make taffy, nougat, caramel, temper chocolate, I've done some hard candies but I don't like making them. Just as much as I enjoy making the candy, I enjoy hearing what people have to say about them, good or bad. Even though these people don't make candy themselves, I demand that they criticism something, so I can improve my confectioner skills. Was the nougat too soft? Was the caramel too hard? Not enough peanuts? Was the flavor not strong enough? Was the presentation off? Anything at all. I'm sure that game developers appreciate the criticism too, if there's any way that they think they can make their interactive experience better, I'm damn certain they want to hear about it. I'm sure there's those that think their game is perfect, and that's fine, but they shouldn't be surprised if nobody likes it if that's the case. I didn't make pic related, but it is something I'm working on.
>>729205724Are games made for game developers or players?
food is obviously fucking different from a game. a game is art + entertainment. food is formulaic and someone that isn't a chef can make a judgement call about a food needing more salt if it completely lacks it.
>>729205724So…. Would anyone do Manon?
>>729205724Do you need to make movies to be a film critic?
This is how you get insufferable "I worked at blizzard" people
>>729206080i doubt it, 99% of people who make shit like that are retarded and the few that aren't are probably autistic and unpopular
>>729208301>food is formulaicthis joke has been relevant for two decades now
>>729208447Even the hardest gay wouldn't touch that
>>729208447Yes, I'm actually going to rule 34 right now to do it to her.
>>729208301maybe the problem is that people try to approach game criticism the way they do with food criticism. "This could use some salt" is an easy judgement to make because we all know what salt tastes like and how it interacts with other flavors."This game could use feature from other game" is a tough judgement to make, because only the dev really knows how it would interact with the rest of the game. It's made with the same confidence as "more salt" but it's as ridiculous as saying "this soup is bland, it needs sour gummy candy"
They never should've fired Ono.
