Destructoid's Jim Sterling hating on the Endurance Run
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I rarely look at Destructoid's articles, but I usually find Jim Sterling kind of amusing, but because he gave Deadly Premonition a 10/10 he jokingly said that his review helped it top Amazon sales. This is fine, but when commenters started saying that GB Endurance Run probably had more impact he said this "I doubt a video of two guys going out of their way to say how terrible the game is influenced too many sales." Kind of a douchy thing to say, let alone completely uninformed considering he didn't acknowledge the dual Endurance Runs. Giant Bomb had plenty of love in the Destructoid thread by the way, but I fell like other sites are starting to get annoyed at the popularity and great work they do here.
" @JJOR64 said:" Jim can go suck a dick. No one cares about his terrible articles. ""
"Jim can go suck a dick. No one cares about his terrible articles. "
Yeah, I get that he is just antagonistic and purposely writes nonsense, and I get it and don't mind that, but talking mess about real professionals who obviously take their job more seriously and are more entertaining is fucking low, even for him.
Sounds like Jim Sterling alright. I just ignore him. The less I have to do with him the happier I am.
" Jim can go suck a dick. No one cares about his terrible articles. "I think this man summed it up perfectly.
I'm important and effect everything I'm a part of, but nobody else does. They all wish they could have as much of an influence as me.
Yeah that was a jerk thing to say. Besides doesn't the track record show that when ever Giant Bomb does something like this Amazon does some sale? They did it for P4 and Deadly Premonition. I think they did something with the Matrix during the Not Like This run and something Star Trek related during Set Phasors to Fun, but I'm not sure.
" It's probably a joke. Jim seems to like Jeff quite a bit, and Jeff seems to like Destructoid. Edit: You guys should chill. You're making yourselves look kind of silly. "Jim Sterling is Jim Sterling is a steaming pile of dog crap.
" Jim Sterling can go fuck himself. And he calls himself a professional journalist when he can't even write like one. Talk about pathetic. My guess that he's just jealous because Deadly Premonition will soon be largely associated with Giantbomb (like Persona 4) instead of Destructoid. "
It's the textbook hipster response. 1) Talk about how awesome some undiscovered thing is. 2) Lash out at people who start the thing after you did. 3) Claim that thing is too mainstream/call everyone who likes it posers.
He wasn't criticizing the GB crew with that comment. He was just saying that a playthrough that shows off the games general bad/weirdness will not boost sales. I think he's probably wrong but, its not an insult really.
But they are going out of there way to shit on this game and are funny doing it. Don't think Jim is in the wrong here, but I do want to buy that shit game just for the fuck of it.
" It's probably a joke. Jim seems to like Jeff quite a bit, and Jeff seems to like Destructoid. Edit: You guys should chill. You're making yourselves look kind of silly. "I totally forgot about that, but you're right. I think for PAX or E3 at one point, Jim Sterling made a list of things he wanted to do while there. One of the first things listed was "hug Jeff Gerstmann." Yup, people are blowing this way out of proportion.
I only lurk destructoid for its up-to-date info, anyone know of another site that's pretty current with their news, kotaku and shacknews seem to lag behind

Unfortunately, reading them all means a whole lot of duplicate stories.
