Yeah, most of the site reeks of contrarian signaling than anything else.

For someone who claims to be a professional, she should've known better than to shit where her money comes from.

>I always thought the Character bios in HG101 were fucking terribly implemented, but if you actually took time they could be really good.
I still can't believe this made it in an actual article.

I never read the books, but there's nothing in their reviews you couldn't figure out yourself just by loading up a rom and playing for 15 minutes.

Funny, 'cause most of the arcade game articles written by Kurt Kalata consists of him whining about how difficulty they were.

That's pretty much every Kurt "Kuck" Kalata article ever written.

HG101 has always been filled with shitty opinions. It's only recently that you guys noticing it because Kurt Kalata went full blue pilled after FemFreq made looking for sexism in everything hip with beta males.

HG101 on Ghouls 'n Ghosts
>[The Genesis version of Ghouls 'n Ghosts] also has a cheat mode where you can slow down the game, play it in Japanese, make Arthur invulnerable (you will be amazed at how difficult the game is even then), or select which level to begin at. Given that the game is essentially impossible without these cheats, this is easily the best version of the game and arguably the best platformer on the console.
You heard it first. Who cares about gitting gud in an arcade game when you can just cheat code your way to the end?

He defended the shitty localization of Fire Emblem: Fates not long ago because he personally knows one of the translators who worked on it (Nich Maragos, a former GIA writer). #toomuchsoy indeed.

What does /vr/ think of HG101?

>No HG101
>Post an image of their logo as the OP image.
It's like a blatant attempt at reverse psychology.

I like the ones where Kurt bitches about games he finds too old or difficulty.

Why does HG101 has such an inconsistent quality? For every well-researched article, you get tons of opinionated crap where the author dismisses the game because it too archaic or difficulty for his tastes, as well as stuff clearly pulled from their asses. Just look at their brief overview for Girl's Garden.
>Yuji Naka was tasked with creating a game for Sega's very first home console, the primitive SG-1000. As the title lets through, the protagonist is a cute little girl, tending to the flowers in her garden. In retrospect, it still wasn't utterly progressive: The purpose of the heroine's effort is to win - or rather keep - the heart of her boyfriend, who slowly proceeds to cheat on her with another woman, lest he is stopped by a full bouquet of beautiful flowers - that he then gives to her as a present.
How does one completely miscontrue the plot of a simple game with a barebones premise to make it more sexist than it is? It's pretty obvious without even reading the manual that the boy is simply a romantic interest and not necessarily the heroine's boyfriend at the beginning.

I thought it because it became overly critical of HG101.

>HG101
>severely deteriorated
Outside of the few contributors who actually know what the hell they're talking about, HG101 was always crap.

Sometimes I wonder if kids write those articles.
