I've noticed that the retro gaming review site HG101 has a bad reputation here. Why is this?

I apologize if this question is asked too often.

And for posting this on /vp/ by mistake.

It really doesn't to most.

It's just mad GGers from /v/ invading trying to spread their toxic shit here.

Had a longass thread a while back, i didn't stick around in it for too long though.
Saw some mentions about HG101 apparently having low quality articles or something.

Sorry about that chief, not to bust your balls about it. It's just that there's been a few threads in the recent past though and there's usually pissing matches over GG-related issues or the nature of true manliness. Then I get interrogated about my everyday hypocrisy.

Which is to say I enjoy these threads a lot.

I think the Chrono Trigger one is notoriously bad, but in general I've hardly ever come across a bad one. I've learned about so many new games from HG101 it's pros outweigh the cons. I had no idea the site was involved in any kind of sjw war.

Basically HG101 supports feminism (insomuch as any public organization in a modern Western country does) and calls out instances of racism and sexism in some retro games it's covered. They never allow these observations to color their judgment of a game, though. To GGers this means they're on the other side of the culture war.

I like them? I've found out about some cool games through that site.

If you ask GG then EVERYONE is involved in their little struggle. If Zoe Quinn had a dog, I'm sure they'd try to accuse it of passing out bribes and taking kickbacks with an entirely straight face.

The amount of self-righteousness from both sides is fucking nauseating.

>>2290860
forgot to mention. I dont really read the articles or give a shit how they are written because often they are walls of text. I just look at the pictures and try to find new obscure japanese games.

Sometimes I wonder if kids write those articles.

By the way, here's a question for you, who brought up GG in this thread first?

It's mostly terrible with a handful of okay articles.

>> No.2290935

>>2290803

The quality of their articles in terms of redaction, content, insight, etc. is usually low. The people who write them are not good writers.

But they are well-researched and often look into games that are obscure or hard to find reliable info about. So overall it's a nice site.

It's because members of /vr/ are chronically unhappy hipsters who dislike anything not sufficiently obscure enough for their "retro" tastes.
