Critic Dean Takahashi He has a bad reputation in the gaming community: despite 30 years of experience in journalism, he periodically finds himself in the center of the most awkward situations.
For example, in 2007, he wrote a negative review of the original Mass Effect, but from the text it becomes clear that he could not figure out many of the basic systems of cult role-playing games. For example, the critic did not know that experience points can be distributed to different talents.
But the main masterpiece of Takahashi was the Cuphead gameplay video, where he had difficulty training and could not finish the first level. Then the editors Venturebeat justified this by the fact that only he could go to Germany at gamescom, where he was given the opportunity to record gameplay. He himself did not even want to go, because he plays poorly in platforms.
However, the other day there was a 10-minute Takahashi gameplay video with a preview event Doom eternal. In terms of “skill”, the journalist seems to have decided to compete with Polygon’s iconic gameplay by Doom (2016).
Half of the video Dean is trying to understand where to go next, walking in circles in a small location. The original video has already been removed – apparently due to the negative reaction of the players.
