One of my favorite things to do as a student is to critique others. This might sound silly, but I like to come up with the best critique that I can for other people by doing it myself. It’s not for the sake of validation or bragging rights, it just because it’s an outlet that gets me out of my own head and out of my own comfort zone.
If I’m not clear, this is a generalization, but when I critique, I tend to be a little more critical. Like if someone has a great game, my critique is, “Hey, that’s awesome!” If someone’s a complete asshole, my critique is, “Hey, you’re a complete asshole.” If they suck, my critique is, “Hey, you suck.
To critique the world is to criticize the people in it. So, when someone criticizes a game, it means criticizing their own insecurities, weaknesses, and ways that they think they’re better than the other guy. Of course, if they also have a great game, I will say the same thing about them.
Criticizing a game is also a form of self-awareness. People who are critical of games do it because they care about the quality of the game and the art, not because they want to be better looking or have better ideas. In fact, most people who say they are going to critique a game are just doing it because they want to be better. This is why you see so many people saying they don’t need to critique a game because they have an incredible game already.
Criticizing a game can be a form of self-awareness.
You can’t be critical of an artist and not want to be better. Critique is self-awareness. And we all know that a bad game is a bad game. We can even be better artists if we want to be.
Now it’s true that some people are better artists than others. But there are a lot of amazing artists out there who have better ideas. So I challenge you all to be better game designers. Critique for your own sake and for the sake of the developers your friends are using. You may not be able to make a game that is better than somebody else’s, but you can make a game that is your own.
This is the whole point. Critique and criticism help make the game better and they can’t get any better unless people who play it love it. You may think you can’t make a game that is better than somebody elses, but you can. Don’t think that you are just going to start giving up on your game, because I don’t think that you are. You can make your own game.
Well, I don’t know about you, but I love crits and I love crits and I love crits and I love crits and I love crits and I love crits.
I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits. I love crits.
