They don't even live up to their hardcore naming when they write such suggestions as this.

Pretty much. They're beyond salvation at this point.

He never bothered to fix any of the mistakes I've pointed out to him back when I was still a regular in their forums, aside from a few blatantly obvious ones. I gave up after a while. He cares more about quantity and giving the illusion that he's informed than actually being informed (hence why he's peddling those shitty books).

>even Hardcoregaming101 called Hard Corps out for being unbearably difficult.
Hardcore Gaming 101 is a complete misnomer. Their writers credit-feed arcade games on MAME and recommend console ports with invincibility cheats (pic related). Their Darius and Kunio-kun reviews have some pretty cringe-worthy opinions on their difficulty too. Let's not even get started on Kurt's Cave shooters editorial.

I seriously hope you don't do this.

Bitching about social issues and gender politics seems to be the norm for any gaming website that isn't a self-published blog these days, which I can deal with, but don't call yourself "Hardcore Gaming 101" if you're going to advocate using cheat codes as the definite way to play a game.

HG101 has always been shit. You guys are only noticing it now because they're acting as primadonnas over the election's result.

>But yeah, although they've always leaned that way mostly it seems to be Kurt kissing ass to try to get Polygon / Gamasutra - senpai to notice him, and to sell more books.
I've seen him retweet stuff from Leigh Alexander and other journalolist on Twitter before GooberGrapes happened.

Any person who dedicates himself to reviewing walking sims as valid games (rather than making fun of them) is bound to be an obnoxious artfag anyway.

Case in point. Why call themselves "Hardcore" if they're going to bitch about difficulty anyway?
