Forum Overview :: Reviews :: Polygon declares scores are for babies

[quote name="It's pretty bad"]https://www.polygon.com/reviews/2018/9/4/17689100/polygon-reviews-no-scores [quote]I can’t say Polygon today looks like the site the co-founders envisioned six years ago. Frankly, the site is more vibrant, more diverse and more ambitious than whatever we conceptualized. With the permission from Vox Media’s leadership to experiment, we have shed the stifling expectations and limitations of a “video game site.” [/quote] Gamers are dead [quote]Our solution is a program we’re calling Polygon Recommends. Polygon Recommends helps us improve our criticism. We’re also launching a curation program that will further help you find the best old and new games to play — when, where and how you want, minimal effort required. We call these lists Polygon Essentials, and they have already begun with our rolling collection of the best games of 2018. If Polygon Recommends are the nominees, Polygon Essentials entries are the award winners, the games that we’ll be enjoying and talking about for years to come.[/quote] pass/rent/buy except with Polygon branding [quote]What now? When a game is released, we may publish impressions of the early hours. We might highlight a small but unexpected detail. Maybe we’ll provide a guide to help you navigate the opaque opening moments. It’s likely we’ll publish something very similar to the classic review every now and then. For the games our audience cares about most, expect a hodgepodge of all these things and other ideas, too.[/quote] Polygon should publish videos of their reviewers trying to get past the Cuphead tutorial[/quote]
