AVGN used to review very bad NES games, make very valid points and do OTT reactions to them. Now he pretends to review good games like Ecco and just cursing them out. So while simps may say he was always a character at least it used to make sense. Why not do zelda next? "master sword? master bate mirite? shitload of fuck!"

Screenwave Media did a panel at Magfest where they explained all of it. They built a studio to accomdate James as much as possible and not intrude on his life. They pick the games and do all the editing and production. He just comes and reads the script.

>> No.7078321

Legend of Kage doesn't have enough material to warrant a 12 minute + 5 minutes of ads long video. It's a solid game but it's a port of a mid-80s arcade game, what do you expect. I'm sure James hasn't even heard of the game before his bosses handed him the script.

The thing about AVGN is even from the start it wasn't really a show about reviewing terrible games. It was James Rolfes little experimental comedy film project.

His movie was made for cheap his movie cost under $200,000 to make.

Letting his wife make creative decisions on his movie was the mistake.

Me being older the first full avgn episodes I seen was looking tone if anyone used the power glove or Rob the robot.

I wasnt looking for comedy but hos video was only one of 3 rob robot videos on youtube at the time and out of the 3 videos only 2 had a working one

The avgn episode was the first video to showcase rob the robot playing both games designed for it.

Having broken a copy of FF1 on NES at age 11(fucking Ice Cave just wouldn't let up) and the Crash Bandicoot 2 disc at 13, and tossed my share of controllers, U get it completely. Admittedly all that shit was 100% my own suckage as an adolescent with shitty nerves. Now FF1 is among my favorite games and CB2 is a great and exciting platform game.

But I get the rage. AVGN represents the asshole in us all when we play games, especially games that truly do suck that you spent valuable $ on and got burnt.
As Mike says in some streams, imagine getting a shitty rage-inducing game and it's all you have for a while. Games used to be stupid expensive, $100+ in 2020 dollars.
Most of us didn't get much. Anyway, a notable rage-inducer for me as a kid was Super Star Wars. No saves, no passwords, leaps of faith and rough platforming.

The problem with James and film is simple. Just because you love something doesn't mean you're good at something.
James is better at gaming than at movies. He beat the CDI Zelda games, and Street Fighter 2010. Those are no casual feats.
Too many men get into hobbies and careers they don't belong in. It's that whole "you can do anything!" line we were all taught as children and it's shit. A shitload of fuck.
James is also middle-aged. He's like 40 years old now. Time makes fools of us all. He's doing pretty good for himself by having children. That always helps middle and elderly ages.

James is an absolutely terrible player. A casual can brute force their way through one or two hardcore games in their lives, especially if they're making videos about them.

You're right about the "you can do anything" line though. We always hear the success stories about how someone had a dream and they risked it all and made it and advising others to do the same - noone's gonna talk about how they risked it all and ruined their whole life going after something beyond their grasp.

No, James actually beat those, and he beat Ghosts n Goblins on NES. That's not just determination at work. Beat Castlevania and Battletoads(with Bootsy's advice) as well.

Also I'd like to mention, Board James is probably the overall best series he ever did. Objectively better than the majority of feature films made post-2000. He needs to stop worrying about making feature films, Hollywood and film are overrated dreck anyway, especially now.
He and Mike and other friends like Justin and Bootsy were far better at content making than your average studio production. What they lacked in $$$ they made up for in SOUL.

He admits that as well. Says his favorite episodes are when the Nerd actually goes a bit in depth of why a game sucks. James has a real talent for describing suckage in terms we can all understand.
"Stick your dick in a cheerio" sounds stupid to the average fool, but to any gamer we instantly get the point.

Why does he just do Famicom games that don't require a translation? There's a bunch of material there. I'm surprised he hasn't done Atlantis no Nazo yet.

He hasn't done Spelunker yet, and that had an NES release, it seems like an obvious choice based on how difficult it is with it's "drop two feet and die" mechanic.

Most old platformers use to have this mechanic. Even cheetamen still uses it, and whats that, 1992 release?

No way. Let me guess you own AVGN merch and you hate the irate gamer? Board James was convoluted. It hardly made sense.

And I doubt James beat any of those games you listed. Remember his Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle review where Mike in a Bugs costume shit on his face? He said that game sucked which was a lie. Or how bout his SNES Terminator 2 review where he said the driving levels were impossible to control. Either James doesn't give a shit about his reviews or has no idea how to play video games outside of his childhood collection.

What I don't get about this video is that the NES probably has some of the worst games ever made in it's catalogue. It was that particular period of transition from Atari style arcade-esque games to the more modern home console style game that pumped out 100 shitty abortions for every ground breaking classic. And still he manages to pick a game like Legend of Kage that's actually just kind of okay, even by modern standards and with some of it's archaic design choices taken into account. It plays and controls alright. There's just so much worse on the console. Download a full romset and play a random game you've never heard of and it's almost guaranteed to be crap. I just don't get why it was Kage. This episode is one of the worst ones in recent memory because of that, it's just so fucking forced.

His wife doesn't work so she should be taking care of the kids but apparently his wife and kids would have to leave the house when Screenwave and the crew came in to film and it was apparently so much of an issue he would make them stop mid-filming and ask them to leave so they could come back - that is why Screenwave built a studio set for him thats not in his home.

I was literally excited after I watched the kage episode because james was more interested in it and the observations were good. it was a fine episode and felt less kieran and justin than the others from this season. I come here and no one liked it. I also watched the early ghostbusters games reviews from years ago and I see why people dont like the new AVGN. his demeanor and insight about gaming history isnt there anymore. I still do like this new AVGN and its better than plenty of other guys on youtube. most are wannabees and hipsters while based james and mike are the GOATs. just use less scripts from the screenwave guys and we'll get better episodes.

AVGN became way less appealing after he started putting sponsored ads in all his videos, I doubt he really wants them there but has to pay his bills and support his family. I loved all of his videos while I growing up, it's honestly a huge bummer seeing James this obviously unhappy and pimping X mobile game or Raycons. Hopefully he'll find another creative venture that'll let him escape the cycle that he's put himself in, but I'm not holding my breath.

I think the sponsors are also there to let him get around youtube's flagging of foul language near the start of a video. Like how You Know What's Bullshit videos have to start with him saying "B.S." but he can say "bullshit" before it's over.
