Angry Joe No Man's Sky review

I'm not watching it, but can imagine a lot of bad jokes and chalkboard scratching sounds coming from his mouth. If you want funny bad reviews, watch the Jimquisition.

Or you could enjoy both, and not go into the threads of reviewers you don't like just to say how you're not going to watch the video the thread is about.

ya know

First minute sums up my experience of several hours

I love his reviews even though I usually have no affinity to the games he talks about. They are super thorough and I admire his enthusiasm. I particularly like how he tries to find a silver lining in even the worst games (ie: steel batallion setting).

NMS sounds interesting but I don't think I will ever play it because the game doesn't look fun to me. Cool idea though. I'd much rather run around on Xenoblade X's world from what I've seen of this.

Edit: just saw the game ending. Oh man rofl

Joe brings out the best posters.

Shame how he initially loved it. I think that's what the game was going for. Then it all just falls flat. His review perfectly covers the cycle with this game.

It's my first taste of the actual criticism and content all put together, since I've only read about it on gaf. Seeing it in video form, and some things explained like the center of the galaxy bullshit is just funny as hell. I kinda get now how gaf was exploding with 100 page threads about this. That's pretty ridiculous how much was planned and didn't make it. They really should have just delayed the game another few months.

On a side note, I think neogaf needs to take a stance on these threads. Either say Angry Joe and other youtubers don't deserve their own threads and make a thread for each gamer youtuber, like AVGN has, or put in a policy against thread shitting about youtubers, Because this thread is a disaster.

I wonder if, while Sean was out giving these interviews, the team was back at home watching them and just shouting "dude, shut the fuck up!! we aren't even close to implementing this!!"

If nothing else, Sean's pleasantly befuddled demeanour is going to be mocked to hell when he tries to talk up his next game.

Sean will never get my money again after NMS. Glad I got the refund from Sony.

You should do yourself a favor and instead of announcing that you have no interest in engaging with the content of the thread, actually watch the review.

trust me, this is all you want to hear from me. I've stressed time and time what I think of his videos. That's why I suggested Jim Sterling as a better alternative.
 
His best review for a while. You can see he clearly went into the game having listened to Murrays bullshit and was caught by surprise when the game falls off a cliff after a few hours.
Feels a lot like his Aliens CM review after he made that hype video just a few weeks before release.

This is nothing but a drive by shit post. How is this not a ban post?

Jeeze, just sharing an opinion on the thread. Guy can talk smack, why cant I?
 
"Why does he get his own thread?"
"I hate his angry schtick"
"All he does is yell like a child"
"He doesn't even play the games right"
"He's a shill"
"His rating system is stupid"
"No one even watches him."

That about cover it?
-------------------------------


Angry Joe's reviews are some of the most in-depth, consumer focused reviewers around. I love his reviews.

Probably a little too much focus on "it's all lies" but it seems like a pretty good review. Game seems really limited to the point where it's not much of a game.

Drive-by shitpost admitting you didn't even watch the video, wow. Points for honesty, I guess, but I wouldn't want to be you when a mod reads your post.

Normally I don't care for Joe's videos but this one was pretty well thought out and explained. I agree with all his points to the letter.

Watched about a third of Angry Joe's review and he's talking about all the missing gameplay aspects.
I haven't really following NMS all that much, but read some news article here and there.
Have Hello Games ever explained why so many stuff they promised or shown, are missing in the final product?

So, is that part about the centre of the universe true?

Please tell me PC users hacked the game and managed to find something else?

Wouldn't it be in your interest to just avoid the threads then? Very little chance that someone would've read your post and said "Welp, gonna just watch Jim then!"

Ever since release they've been incredibly quiet compared to how active they were before the release.

Barely any downvotes on the video from the NMS army.

I guess the love affair with this game is over.

Community is for threads that have a dedicated group that would typically be interested in the subject, but would hold minimal interest for most others. I can say for myself that I don't care about general AJ news but this video is very interesting to me.

Joe is awesome. Haters just like to attack him cause he's a great reviewer.

On topic then, No Man Sky doesn't deserve to be reviewed by such a smoe when the game is good for one, and if the flaws should be noted on, then funnier people exist to critique it.

Well that's the thing: there's not much in the package. So what could a 30 minute plus review focus on other than the lies?

Put another way, its more interesting to ponder the advertising and promised features surrounding the product than the few actually systems in place.
