We're talking about a man who got famous off of rape jokes and incessant screaming... it better be.
Angry joe you mean? I meant pewdiepie

Angry joe you mean? I meant pewdiepie
One day we'll find out the largest demographic for PewDiePie is 25-35yo males.
I was talking about pewdiepie as well, Angry Joe isn't really that annoying. Although I'm not a huge fan of Joe's work I can tell he truly enjoys and loves what he does, and I respect that. What I've seen of Pewdiepie was very frustrating to watch.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you are over 12.
I honestly can't see any rational adult enjoying pewdiepie's videos.
What I mean is that it's not very smart to act all holier-than-thou on the Internet while judging people based on what entertainment they like. It has nothing to do with what I like or feeling personally insulted, I really don't care that much. I haven't seen those movies, but I can say that I don't think less of people who like COD the way it is nowadays or Skyrim's combat for example. Both are dumb and simplistic and I wouldn't trust those people to give me advice on which games to buy, but it's okay to like them.What you really mean here is, "I don't like you making assumptions about people who like things I like." You've never thought poorly of people who enjoy certain horrible films? You mean to tell me you wouldn't think less of someone intellectually who said Grown Ups 2 and Jack and Jill are their two favorite films?
I like dumb stuff too. Pencil yourself in as the not-dumb exception and leave it at that.
While I think that Angry Joe is an immature kid who is popular because he tends to pander to circlejerks and rarely has anything insightful to say (unlike Jim Sterling which panders but does have insightful things to say), it really takes a lot to one up his immaturity. Dan managed to do that in spades by quibbling over 8.9 which any reasonable person knows its irrelevant compared to a 9. Dan must really be in a complete bubble over there at IGN if he cant see how they over hyped Titanfall to the Nth degree. Honestly as review systems go a yes, no, maybe is good, a 5 point system like Giant Bomb is good, and 10 point system is not so great, but IGNs 100 point system is total bollocks. How can someone even comprehend what the difference between 8.9 and 9.0, its so esoteric that you might as well start pulling magic numbers out of your ass.
Also as for Yahtzee, his Zero Punctuation have never been called reviews, ever. The only people who call them reviews are people who cant wrap their head around that or seem to have a personal beef with he mocks a game. I like his videos for games I both love or dismiss and he often has good points about silly mechanics or game tropes
I guess you could. I think the quote you skewered was so obviously without any logical support that it deserved ridicule. It shouldn't matter what your personal preferences are, the article reads like ad copy and obviously provides no support for the notion that you should buy a $500 console and a $60 subscription to better enjoy a game you can play on a device you already own.
Does something that dumb really deserve nuance?
What's not to get? Obviously there's a distinction between an 8.9 and 9.0 and their descriptors back that up.
I disagree with Joe's view that it's a 7/10 but IGN is making itself look really stupid and petty by arguing over a 0.1 difference...
This has been the best dissection and analysis of what happened here..I"m actually siding with Angry Joe more with all the evidence laid out like it, even though he made some errors himself.

Agree 100%It's not about the .1 differential. Misquoting, non-vetted sources, implied misrepresentation - these are all pretty basic industry fails that happen all too often. If you're quoting reviews then fucking quote the reviews, don't paraphrase or flash shots of other material. Mistakes happen but he chose to flip out instead of owning up to it.
At the least, Angry Joe exercised sloppy journalism...which seems pretty consistent with the rest of his work/schtick.
