I havent watched one of his videos in ages, but remember his first years were funny as he would talk more like a normal guy making snarky comments while he plays.Meh.
Honestly one of his unfunniest, also one where the critique feels incredibly bland and flat.
Absolute shit just like all modern AVGN videos.
You nailed it. Sometimes he yells so loud that it red-lines his audio levels. The anger was never the point of his humor.I havent watched one of his videos in ages, but remember his first years were funny as he would talk more like a normal guy making snarky comments while he plays.
Then it turned staged with fake overdramatized acting, or you could tell he practiced the lines or it's him literally speaking into the camera.
First time I watch this guy.... and the last for sure. He's painful to listen.
For anyone unaware AVGN no longer writes his own script or even plays the games. It's all done by Screenwave and he just shows up to read some lines. That's why it hasn't been funny in like 5 years

Wow. No wonder.It's not yet been 5 years, but yeah. Another thing that's missing is his actual personality. Commentary that was often the saving grace when he moved on from the truly shit ones.
I think it's evident that he didn't write this himself and was just written by someone that hates eco. Because if he did his own research and thoughts, he would have mentioned Eco's good points like the music, the graphics and the atmosphere, even if it was in form of a joke or/and we would have gotten more history on the game.
Instead its 99% bashing and nitpicking which doesn't feel like James. It feels like written by someone that watched the AVGN back in the day, didn't pick up on anything but the bashing and then worked of a checklist.
Another episode of Angry Video Game Nerd, this time looking at (once upon a time highly regarded) Ecco the Dolphin, and you have to question what were the developers thinking on the level design side of things...
4 minutes in, damn, this is probably the most unfunny video he has ever done. He's not even trying anymore.

Meh.

I think he wants to end the series, but he just doesn't have the courage yet.
Never knew he did a movie till I googled it. Who wants to watch him in a 2 hour movie?James wanted to quit doing AVGN around the time he made the AVGN Movie. That was supposed to be his ticket out of YouTube. But it flopped and his dreams of becoming a Hollywood director died. Now he's stuck being a YouTuber forever to pay the bills.
In all likelihood, he hates doing AVGN nowadays and that's why he "sold out" to Screenwave, which is owned by his former webmaster Ryan. They literally do all of the work and he just shows up and reads the lines, as has been pointed out. The people responsible for writing and directing the episodes are failed YouTubers themselves, so it makes sense that they are complete trash.
Not only that but does there have to be a video game....really?Never knew he did a movie till I googled it. Who wants to watch him in a 2 hour movie?
