Is it safe to say that James Rolfe is washed up?
He just copied all the jokes from when gamegrumps played it
Its kinda sad to see this

AVGN was only ever funny for 14-year olds. When I go back the only videos I still find entertaining are the ones where he's somewhat genuine like the Castlevania series.
It was done "by popular request" and it's obvious he has no idea about that shitty series aside from original platformers.
So yeah, boring as fuck episode, not that I expected much.
>>375758856
Street Fighter 2010 was still the peak I'd say.
>>375758853
Yesh i agree this was sad and didnt enjoy it. Actually he took all the things he said from james and mike mondays when they played the game.... so fucking crude
>>375758856
Dark Castle was great. So was shit like Battletoads and his 09-10 videos were solid.
The special effects were really dumb.
>reviewing low-hanging fruit years after everyone else did it
Didn't stop him from doing Superman 64. If you want to bitch about something then it has to be that sponsored shit.
I thought this was a hoard about video games and not people
James doesn't care about AVGN anymore. Compare this:

That last one isnt even one of the worst you candyass.
>>375758717
It was pretty much just a forced out episode due to high demand and the sponsorship.
Sucks that when a single weak episode comes out people act like it's the end of the series and everything is going to be exactly like that. The MMPR one before it was amazing, and before that he had a pretty shitty christmas episode, so I don't see any reason why he's done and over with because of a single one.

lmao yeah that was pathetic and out of the place as all fuck
>>375760042
The Crow is an ok episode, what's so bad about it? Sure it's not up to par with PDWT, but that's one of the best episodes in general.
What the fuck was that ending?
>>375760323
this
The episode was mediocre but the one before it was great.
>>375758717
>Youtuber who has never made a good video makes another bad video
Stop the fucking presses.
>>375760480
hopefully a tie in for the next episode
or maybe he just went full retard
>>375759962
Just inform the mods and move on
>>375758856
This, hell watching him just chat about Contra was very nice.
>>375760042

>>375760873
Why in the world would you play that game
>>375760873
here's your (you) and a funny picture to go with it
now fuck off retard
Mike's Elmo review is legit kino, better than anything James has ever done
>>375758717
his episodes are just hit or miss now
>>375758717
The problem was that he did a video ages ago with Mike where he pointed out the exact same criticisms.
This review felt so lifeless. It was almost meta, in that it was the most lifeless Sonic game ever, and it was so bad that it impacted James.
>>375761381
Well...Yeah?
>>375758717
>Leave Cinemassacre kino to us
What did Mike & Ryan mean by this?
Bump
>>375758717
Isn't that the point?
>>375761773
Almost unsubbed because of these guys, i mean WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
>>375758717
The problem is every joke has been done before already.
>dude this ring mission is just like superman 64 lmao
Every fucking time.
I liked it.
>current year
>still watching le upset gaming diarrhea dump man
>>375763280
Watching the old episodes is the comfiest thing ever, I don't laugh as much as I did back then but i do enjoy them
>>375763094
Why do you all hate me, /v/?
I try to be funny, nice, and as knowledgeable as I can about games, but you all put me down. You dislike my videos as soon as you click them, not caring about the effort we put into them. You even insult my appearance as well as my beautiful wife.
Why did I do wrong?
>>375763587
I don't even click them, you're an eyesore
>>375758717
>Reviews old shitty games
>Reviews a game that is now old but wasn't even released when he started his show
>EVERYONE ELSE ALREADY DID THAT ONE WTF JAMES
Talk about the quality of the review all you want, but there's nothing wrong with him talking about sonic 06.
>>375763587
>When offscreen employees try to be onscreen talent
No hate for the guy at all but know what you can and cannot do. People used to shit all over mike but he improved dramatically.
>>375763078
>>375763719
THESE, you fucking retards, the point of AVGN from the first episode is that it was some guy complaining about old games that everyone already complained about. You guys just want to go full "hurr durr avgn is dead"
>>375760042
I remember my first time watching the video for Plumbers Don't Wear Ties it was bad I actually in real life felt ill. I've gotten that feeling from movies but I think its the only game I've ever gotten that reaction to and I wasn't even the one playing it.
>>375758853
The flaws of 06 are so glaring that anyone could've picked up on them.
>>375763587
Unironically would. For someone that looks like Ryan she's a real catch.

I never really got into AVGN. I think the appeal is that James and Mike feel like grown-up 80s kids. They compare everything to 80s movies or 80s games. They're not highly informed about what they play other than how to play it. Sometimes they do a bit of research but they seem like 80s kids doing a history project using public library books rather than making use of the extensive documentation that many video games and consoles have online today. Their humor is also cursing and coming up with scenarios that only kids would find funny. I wouldn't call them reviewers either. I did like the Power Rangers episode though.
Maybe I'm just not part of their target audience since I was born the decade after.
>>375763587
You mean well, but you're kind of like the non-actor walking onto a sitcom set. You can be given the funniest lines on set but the way you read is either stilted or forced depending on your enthusiasm. It's the timing. It's like you try to rush the moment than pass it naturally. Don't do that. Don't speed your words. You're not trying to be Ryan the funnyman trying to match James or Mike's energy. You ought to be Ryan the peer reviewer.
It's like you want to try desperately to get us to like you but you don't seem to be yourself on camera. Rebuild your stage presence.

Is it true that he doesn't even live in that house anymore and is in front of a greenscreen the entire time?

its a sponsored game review, probably with the effects done by the Fullsail Academy™ freshmen
I actually chuckled when he jumped into the water
