Game Critics

I was going to joke "the dislikes are video game journalists"... ...and then I checked Twitter and learned that it wouldn't have been a joke.

My parents dying really made me feel like batman

“Listen fucko” is possibly one of your best lines ever

"A critic's power lies in the consistency of their voice. But when you're consistently wrong..." That was pure gold

I wish my grades in school were reviewed by IGN reviewers.

"My girlfriend isnt loyal, cheats when ever she can and doesn't hide that she is with other guys" 9/10 "She has a little something for everyone" - IGN

"This game fucking sucks. It is so incomprehensibly bad. I wouldnt even make my worst enemy play this game." "9.5/10 it has a little something for everyone."

I stopped watching dunkey when he said Armond White was black.

''Refreshingly original''' and ''Call of Duty'' what the actual fuck?

yeah i stopped listening to that guy after he said bubsy 3d was bad

Immediacy, atmosphere, variety, replayability, this is what I value in Dunkey's videos

Actually took Dunkey's advice on Persona 5 and loved it. I dont like turned based games or anime but I had a blast playing this game.

Armond White is the 10th doctor in all of those "9 out of 10 doctors recommend..."

Crash Bandicoot makes you FEEL like Batman

Ever since watching this video back in 2017, it has helped me make a more definitive opinion and growth towards what I like/dislike in games. It's matured my thinking on not just "WOW THING GO BOOM, TAKE MY MONEY" no, now it's more about "Ok what does this game feature for gameplay loops, how long is the story/campaign, where can I go in this world, how are the graphics, can I pet the doggy, is there artificial or skill-based difficulty and if so, how big is the learning curve, is it unfair, did it launch in Cyberpunk 2077 states of broken/hype, etc." If I hadn't watched this video, I probably wouldn't own Valheim, or Raft, or MGSV: TPP, Shadow Warrior 2, Metro 2033/Last Light Redux & Exodus, Alien Isolation, Slay the Spire, Destiny 2, and so much more....and that's just PC. The big thing to take away from this video is simple: be your own videogame critic; make up your own mind but be receptive to others' perspectives (take that one to the bank kiddos). It's ok to align with some other like-minded reviewers, but at the end of the day, don't just be a moth to the flame with everyone else: be unique! Ensure that your thoughts and hypothesis aligns accurately and isn't just some hate/love-train that EVERYONE is on because it's popular, or because the whole: "Nope! You are nitpicking and biased. I win you lose, bye bye!" So thanks dunkey. I like to come back to this vid (among others on your channel) to remind me that sometimes, you just gotta think hard on things, research, and eventually make up your own damn mind on things! Cheers everyone.

I come back to this video from time to time because it really did resonate with me. This was such a succinct way to explain professional criticism, the voice is so overwhelmingly important.

This video made me feel like Batman

"You're paid to review games as 8, 9, or 10" "What if it's horrible?" "That's what 7 is for"

I actually have tears streaming down my face. Someone genuinely said new super mario brothers wii is an incredibly hard game

Y’know what scares me, in a good way, about Dunkey: He’s very good at pairing legitimate points of criticism with incredibly on-target, entertaining examples. His ending point in this video is “The language and points raised in reviews don’t always match the verdicts.” But that’s not what you take away, is it? What you take away is what the comments are full of — “IGN absolute roasts a game, then gives it a great score anyway.” His skill as a reviewer, and as an entertainer, is finding — or creating — these specific ideas that people latch onto, and become memes of themselves that are still indicative of the whole — like, to name another, Knack.
