Yea despite my complaints, I still generally have a lot of love for the mag and the guys at the mag.
So far I think The Vede has done a great job, but he made a couple of kooky decisions. One that was a big mistake.
PCG has always been organized so that there are the scoops and the previews, followed by the reviews and then the editorials. The front cover specials are in the middle.
What The Vede did was organize it into sections like action, RPG, strategy and gamut. Now that may sound like a good idea in theory, but basically the reviews were all over the place. For example an action game review would be in the action section, followed by a bunch of previews, and then would come the RPG reviews and so on.
This made things a bit confusing. I liked the reviews together, because it kinda felt like getting to the main course.
The worst of it was if a review was part of the cover story then it wouldn't even be in the genre section, but the front cover story section.
Thankfully after much protest they came to their senses and put things to normal.
Also I thought Whitta and Morris were quite awesome. Whitta may have some controversial views, but I love his writing. Rob was kinda meh for me because that's when it seemed the mag started getting thinner, and their love for electronic arts and battlefield started.
Despite all the complaints, I still love the mag. I'll probably subscribe to it till I die.
