Strangelove Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Gamers are entitled though. That's just what it is. Not about the things you just mentioned though. But most things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pojodin Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Indeed! Long ago (in a game/on a forum) whose name has long been forgotten in the flow of time, I was tasked with a challenge that we are all too familiar with: After much deliberation and many painstaking hours of deep thought and bargaining, I was thusly entitled Pojodin!? Rumor has it that's not my real name. O: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangelove Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I dont know if anyone has mentioned this, but I really dislike "angry" videogame personalities. Only one I like is AVGN because its 100% a joke. Everyone else is just annoying. It just doesnt affect me. Too much outrage over something so meaningless. Then again, I never scream or throw controllers or any of that. Never done anything like that in my life. I get annoyed at games, but never angry. It just doesnt register that way with me, so dudes like Angry Joe or Jim Sterling, or that really fat dude annoy me. Children. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I don't mind Jim. Not familiar with Angry Joe. If you mean the Franklin/Boogie creature. His angry persona pisses me right off. Jim usually has something worthwhile to say and his and is normally controlled or focussed. Boogie/Franklin on the other hand is just a frothing ball of impotent rage that makes little sense to me. That said, he's very popular so what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVGN was the first one to do it, so he gets a pass from me, but I totally agree with you. Jim Sterling is just a dancing monkey who parrots already popular opinions (DRM is bad u guise!) and Angry Joe goes way overboard with his rants. I still like to watch Angry Joe's reviews because they're very detailed and informative, but there are times when I do wish he'd just calm his freaking tits. I'm also okay with Boogie because the Francis videos are a joke that poke fun at the fat, whiny gamer stereotype for the sake of comedy. You're not supposed to take them at face value. Boogie himself is actually fairly calm and well-spoken. Edited April 29, 2015 by Mister Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Whoa-oh, he's the game dude and he's got a wall full of shitty games ♫ He stares at them angrily and shakes his head like he has no choice in playing them, whoooah-oh ♫ He spent probably half a day thinking up this theme song and composing it on his Apple computer, oh oh oh ♫ He says fuck a whole lot because it means he's fucking edgy, oh yeah ♫ And nitpicks every single insignificant last detail, usually with metaphors about bodily functions, yeah yeah yeah ♫ He's the Angry Video Ga Pissed Off Gamer Dude, yeeeeeeeeeeeeah! ♫ Edited April 29, 2015 by Mister Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'm pretty sure sitting through the whole thing qualifies you to be the King of England. Or at least cause you enough pain to make you a Super Saiyan or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pojodin Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah, I'm definitely with you on that one. AVGN was cool because it was a clever idea that was unique and well-executed when he started. But I'm not a fan of any of the other angry gamers. It's funny when one person does it, but it gets old really fast when a bunch of others try to do the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH!

deanb Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 VG247 publishes article about how poopy Uncharted 4 is...gets pointed out to them by Sony that they played Uncharted 2 remaster. http://www.vg247.com/2015/10/14/letter-from-the-editor-an-apology-to-naughty-dog-and-uncharted-fans/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. GOH! Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 They sent someone (or paid a Western freelancer who was in Japan anyway) who has never played Uncharted 2 and who doesn't speak Japanese to the TGS? Idiots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Here's the original article. No guidance is offered on where you’re supposed to go next, but the Uncharted veteran in me immediately shimmied a sign post and leapt through a hole in a nearby wall. Graphics don’t make the game, and even if Uncharted 4 is the most beautiful thing ever to have happened in the history of video games, it’s not new. Hilarious! You call yourself an Uncharted veteran? Bro, I know the exact scene you're talking about just from your description. What a blunder. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! Love this quote too: But graphics don’t make the game, and even if Uncharted 4 is the most beautiful thing ever to have happened in the history of video games, it’s not – it’s not new. This is a complaint that has been levelled a lot this generation, I think, that games are just shinier rather than more interesting, and Uncharted may be in for the same critique. Where the first Uncharted games felt like they were blowing the bar sky high, this one just felt like more of the same.

TheMightyEthan Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yeah, to me that's actually more embarrassing: guy claimed to be an Uncharted veteran, but didn't realize it was U2 and not U4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'm confused why they didn't post their apology till today when this happened two weeks ago... I wonder if they were trying to pretend this never happened and GAF or somewhere caught wind of it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
