Lizard Guy? [THEY MIGHT DISCUSS SPOILERS] : V

» Wed Oct 19, 2011 3:55 pm

I don't think that anyone has the right to talk about a game if they don't know what they are talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTBhP97sKGU

They start talking like they know TES but then they call Argonians "The lizard guy". Thoughts on this? Do you guys think people have a right to discuss through a game preview or article if they really don't know the material well enough? Are you able to overlook this oversight or does it get under your skin or make your eye twitch as a fan?

Yes. I believe people have every right to act like idiots.

Doesn't bother me, unfortunately we cannot expect all journalists to understand everything they are covering. (Just watch the news once)

So when it comes down to it, take the info they give with a grain of salt or look at it yourself to understand what they are saying.

Or hope someone from Beth is there to lay them straight.

At least they didn't call them a dinosaur

Absolutely not. How can you call yourself a professional if you're not even proficient in your own field?

lol or dragons "winged dinosuars". I was intrigued by some of the things they discussed like

Absolutely not. How can you call yourself a professional if you're not even proficient in your own field? I wouldn't want a doctor operating me without a PHD.

What? Doctors don't have PHD's...?
Unless you mean...

They are game reviews not doctors or rocket scientists plus I call Argonians that cause they creep me out just well you know usually not in a game review.

Honestly, I do not think it is that bad they said "The lizard guy".

Not as bad as IGN:

"Next up, we have Todd Howard giving us an exclusive look at Skyrim, the next installment in the Oblivion series!"

:slap:

At least they're both completely hyped for launch and loved their playthroughs.

yeah, god forbid anyone who hasn't been playing it since arena to have an opinion, how dare they.

Actually, I've noticed most previewers calling Argonians "Lizard men."

I think it is just to simplify it for the folks new to the series.

:whisper: PhD means "Doctor of Philosophy"

Md means "Doctor of Medicine"

I realized my mistake as soon as I posted. Was hoping no one would quote me but now I sound like an idiot. Oh well, life goes on...

Have you ever thought maybe they tried to pronounce Argonians and couldn't so didn't wanna sound dumber?

I think this may just be a good ole troll review, I wouldn't let it bother me man.

» Wed Oct 19, 2011 3:10 pm

Lizard Guy, if they called them Lizardmen, Lizard Folk or something I think that would be alright. But Lizard guy is totally unproffesional. Though they just get told what to cover, they might not give a rat's ass about Skyrim, but have just been told by whoever they work for that they should ciover it.

Did you watch the video?

Link? I want to laugh

It was during IGN's live show on E3, http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1199380-ign-live-coverage-5pm-pst-tonight/page__view__findpost__p__17850342 the reaction from me and others when we heard that.

It's a [censored] video game that they played for three hours.

Why do you care that they don't know the lore? Also, "professional" is a word that does not apply to video game journalism.

The combat is elegant and awesome hm. did they really play a TES game? I love them but I've never thought that about any of its combat.
