Blog:Grust's Worst Gaming Moments of 2020.... And it's only July

Grust's eyes twitch as he looks at the title. The years is almost half-way done and already this is being made.

Grust: I remember when I said I'd have my top 10 worst gaming moments of 2020 done by summer cuz of how bad this year is. Well it's summer and.... I was right! Sadly it's a situation where I wish I was wrong but I digress. This year is BAD!!! I thought 2018 was the worst for gaming. I thought 2019 was horrible but this.... this takes the cake. This is so bad for entertainment that the honorable mentions will even include non-gaming elements because of how bad this year is. I know it's only July but goddamn. To put this into perspective more. Last year my worst gaming moments happened in October. Yeah, this is a new record. Let's now get this over with.

10: Resident Evil 3: With the success of the Resident Evil 2 REmake, Capcom went right to work on the new installment. And soon after hype began building up for the Nemesis remake. Nemesis already seemed to make Mr. X look like yesterday's news. Then the game came out. It ended up being ridiculously short, the online co-op wasn't well done, and Nemesis felt more like an annoyance than a threat. The fact that it came out around a year after the 2 REmake also hints it might have been rushed. Thankfully it's 10 because it's not completely abysmal and might be worth getting used or on sale. The problem lies that it was rushed, overhyped and overall a disappointment. and of course sadly, it only gets worse. MUCH MUCH WORSE!

9: Corruption in Gaming Journalism Is So Commonplace, the Corruption in Game Journalism Category Just Doesn't Matter Anymore: Back when I first made the category Corrupted Game "Urinalists" was still a shock to me. Cut to today where I can't go a day without hearing about some loser journalist trying to pathetically virtue signal a newly hyped game for points no sane person wants. And when it comes to their gaming skills. They are laughable and justify the Game Journalist difficulty mode meme, just check out show pathetic this journalist is at playing Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated. This is why I don't even make articles for it anymore, because this wiki would be oversaturated with hundreds of articles on this corruption and incompetence. Hell I even bought Days Gone because IGN gave it a 5 out of 10 and my Giant Squid, it was actually one of the most fun games I played in a while. And honestly this corruption is now a fart to the wind compared to the corruption of the entire mainstream media. Journalism is pretty much a joke now and it's why I don't even bother with it anymore.

8: The Culling Pay Per Match: The Culling was one of the first Battle Royale games ever and was a brief success before Fortnite and PUBG showed up. After a few other failures to become relevant they rebooted the first but with a monetization scheme even WORSE than Loot boxes. The Pay Per Match model which would force players to fork over money to actually play a match. While originally you'd get a single match free and more if you win, the backlash was immense but even then all they did was give players 10 free matches, which isn't a significant improvement. This greedy tactic was so disgusting to me it's one of the first times I told you all to NEVER GET THE GAME. Even with Naughty Dog's actions (I'll get to them later), I merely suggested you get The Last of Us Part 2 used or on sale. This monetization needs to die before other companies like Electronic Arts or Activision rub their greedy hands together.

7. Animal Crossing is Not Safe From SJWs:  I'm not really an Animal Crossing fan but it seemed like one of the kid-friendliest, most non-violent game series of all time, originally made by a developer who wanted to interact with his kids despite his long work hours. In comes the newly released Animal Crossing: New Horizons where you're on a deserted island and you make it into a thriving village. With the hype and success came morons looking for their brownie points. I already saw on a YouTube commentary (I think Yellowflash) on some "urinalists" talking about a walkthrough on playing it without "colonization" despite it being a deserted island. And even PETA showed up to trash the game because fishing and catching bugs for a museum. I actually decided to get the game and by God it's actually fun with it's interactions and crafting system and numerous activities. But by Joker, the fact SJWs will even go after this shows how pathetic they truly are.

6. One Angry Gamer's Traitor's of America List: I can forgive most obsessed anti-SJWs. I get why they act the way they are. SJWs are scum having not only ruined western entertainment but ruined people's lives so bad they saw no way out other than suicide. So it's natural to be a bit paranoid. But holy automatic drip machine coffee, even I know when an obsessed anti-SJW crosses a line that should not be crossed. And Billy's little list did just that. While I won't deny some on the list might qualify as traitorous, the biggest problem is he provides no evidence of anything and even I doubt it might be anything THAT BAD. For instance they have Wendy's but all they did was donated $500,000 to social justice charities and their tweet made it sounds like it was out of reluctance and they were unaware of how bad social justice really is. And even then rioters burned down one of their restaurants, which was ironically owned by a black person. I wouldn't call them traitors. Also ProJared is on the list? Are you FUCKING kidding me? Wasn't what happened to him in 2019 enough. Even 4chan was disgusted by this list. Hell considering how forgiving I can be towards OASJWs, you know you screwed up when I actually hate you, Billy.

5. Twitch Trust and Safety Council: Twitch has been in a bad spot for a while now, becoming more censorship friendly, a place where e-girls get cash from simps, and people began leaving, including Ninja. So imagine how bad it is when you make a Trust and Safety council and you hire FerociouslySteph who proceeded to use her new position on the council to tell people they should fear her and telling all gamers they are white supremacists, that white males don't deserve opinions, and that voice chat should be removed from games. And then there's the moment she acts like a male deer which even I found very disturbing and gross. It should also be noted that FS is also transgender and her actions have done NOTHING for transgendered people at all. If anything her actions have done more to hurt transgender rights. Sad thing is even after she got backlash for her comments, Twitch took her side as they oppose "harassment" even though she got what she deserved. If they were really against harassment, they'd fire her. Oh wait, you're now in a lose-lose situation for that, Twitch. If you fire her, she'll play victim and SJWs will come at you. If you keep her, more and more players are going to leave out of disgust towards her. Either way, you're screwed twitch and I won't shed any sympathy.

4. SJWs Target Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeons and Dragons is the grandaddy to the greatest game genre of all time, The RPG. Without it we wouldn't have Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wild Arms, Secret of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, or Warcraft. While I'm not a tabletop gamer, I hold D&D in a lot of respect and play the Neverwinter MMO (despite its issues), watch the 80s cartoon, and I've studied the lore a bit. So imagine how I feel when SJWs deem orcs or drow Rawcist? How are they racist, they are fictional creatures. Now apparently D&D higher ups want to hire SJWs writer to create more sensitive" books to avoid offense. D&D may have survived right-wing "moral guardians" since the 70s, but I don't see them surviving this.    This will be one Get Woke, Go Broke, I'm not looking forward to.

3. Naughty Dog Goes SJW: Naughty Dog gave us great games like Crash Bandicoot, Uncharted, and of course, The Last of Us. But when the sequel got leaked, it got more people to uncover things about Naughty Dog that is not pleasant. Neil Druckmann the VP, became a follower of "that woman," intentionally began uglifying the women in their games as sexy girls is "muhsoggyknee" and even pulled a Soederlund calling gamers bigots in a tweet copying a quote from Kurt Cobain. This in turn caused many to want to avoid TLOU2. Once it was released it saw high numbers and sales which made it seem like a victory. However, by the 2nd week, sales plummeted by 80% and used copies began showing up all over. I don't even see a TLOU3 being as successful now. And hey thanks to those used copies if you want to play the game go right ahead.

2. Fan Translator Harrassed: This occurred around February when the new decade barely started. A translator named Tom spent 4 years and $400 to translate Goemon 3 to emulation. However because the word tranny was used in a single sentence an outrage mob came after him and he deleted his entire profile and ruined his passion for translating. It wasn't as bad what happened with Alec Holowka but even I asked how many more lives must SJWs ruin before we say enough is enough? This is now the biggest reason I hate SJWs. Ruining people's lives over nothing. The world would be better off without them.

Dishonorable Mentions
Note: as said above, I'll even cover things non-gaming related but within entertainment.
 * The State of Comics: Comic artists have become not only more SJW, but insulting towards fans. There was even the controversy with New Warriors especially Snowflake and SafeSpace which was even hated by SJWs.  Not only that, but some artists have even tried to justify their insults towards fans and supporters of Comicsgate by saying they get their money from publishers so fans aren't the client. ARE... YOU... FUCKING... KIDDING... ME! Yes they get their money from publishers but who pays them? The retailers and where do retailers get their money? From fans!  How stupid does social justice make people?  This is why independent comics are becoming more successful.  Hell, I still love Batman and even I think DC comics deserves to fail after they hired Zoe Quinn.
 * Magic the Gathering Bans Rawcist cards: So glad I'm more of a Yu-Gi-Oh! kind of guy. Some cards just by having words like white or black get banned to avoid offending someone.  It's stupid.
 * Neverwinter Issues: As I said before I love the MMO Neverwinter but it's suffering from horrible lag and bugs and glitches. And they seem to be getting worse.  But I've discussed this twice already on other blogs which is why It's off the list.
 * Celebtards Hit a New Low: In a pathetic attempt to fight Rawcism, Skai Jackson is now doxxing 12 year old kids for saying racially insensitive (though not overly malicious) stuff on the internet and getting them bullied or expelled. Here's the thing, Skai, they are 12 years old.  When we were 12, we all said stupid crap.  Their lives did not deserve to be ruined because of it.  You want to end racism, you explain to those kids why what they said was wrong, You don't FUCKING DOX them.  It's pathetic how this is being praised by the lamestream media and she's being hailed a hero, when she isn't.  She's a monster.  And then there are others actually praising the riots going on with some even offering to bail out the looters. A Spongebob writer even encouraged the arsonists saying they were burning down "white supremacy."  Then there was that shitty "I take Responsibly" PSA which has netted a ton of dislikes.  This is why people hate celebrities now, including me.  They've already been cringey enough that I never want to step foot in a movie theater again, but now I feel personally ashamed I ever gave Hollywood so much as a penny.  All respect is completely gone.  The fact Skai Jackson was originally on the Celebrities with Common Sense page has now made me distrustful over all Hollywood.  Thank French Press Coffee for Youtube celebrities that know how to be apolitical.

And I think the Worst gaming moment of 2020 is...

1. Covid-19: Otherwise known as the Coronavirus, this pandemic originated in China and is spreading over the world, causing shops to close and a creating a huge recession. Because of it, many games are being delayed and many game conventions are closed. Many people are staying indoors and playing games, but sometimes, you want to go out and socialize with friends. And eventually a lot of money can dry up if people aren't working. And sadly even with simple precautions like social distancing, face masks and handwashing, people aren't following and with the riots and protesting, this pandemic is still spreading. And what's pathetic is there's an actual Corona challenge where people intentionally try to get the virus. This is my pick pick for the worst gaming moment of 2020.

You know 2020 is bad when I can make this in fricking July. I am not looking forward to 2021. I wish I could just be in a perpetual timeloop of my childhood, 1 to 17. Cuz I can't stand this crap. Any thing else that sucked for gaming, let me know in the comments.
