I don't understand the complaints against AngryJoe...
"Is he saying anything new that other people aren't saying?"
Odds are, probably not. But the odds are that the first time you read some news/someone's opinion, it isn't the first time it has been reported/the first time someone has ever had that opinion.
And the other complaint which is "I don't understand why people like him". Congratulations. You're clearly not part of his target audience. Probably not part of PewDiePie's audience. Probably not part of any YouTube celebrity's audience (apart from that one you like and follow constantly).

Wouldn't it make sense to post the video in the respective thread in that case too? There are plenty of batman threads you could post this in, for example.
Yet you care what he says... I'm done. These threads man.

Man, that's too hard for the Angry Joe fanbase. They need to be heard!

Wouldn't that also apply for every jim sterling video made then? I'm for an OT being made like how "The super best friends" and "game Grumps" have them, I'm just surprised no one has done one with Jim sterling or AJ (considering JS has videos almost every day )
What I don't like about these "angry" YouTubers, other than being angry for the sake of entertainment and money, is that they exaggerate too much. That is why I don't like watching AngryJoe and TotalBiscuit because at some point its cool that they have criticisms of the industry but then comes to a certain point that its just a little bit "too much".
At the end of the day its just a video game. You are not forced to buy it day one. Yes it has problems and yes the devs are aware of it and they are, at least I hope, trying to fix it. Lighten the hell up...

Rocksteady doesn't release the game. The publisher does. Rocksteady doesn't outsource the PC port. The publisher does. The porting studio doesn't set the deadline. The publisher does.
The buck stops with the publisher.
Rocksteady did an amazing job with this game, and Iron Galaxy probably didn't have nearly enough time to port the game over with the time they were given. Especially considering this game was likely delayed and then given to them at the last minute.
This game should have been delayed on PC.... the Warner Bros shoved it out the door anyway.
Angryjoe's rant at Rocksteady is sorely misplaced. Can't believe he blames Rocksteady for not developing all 3 versions. That isn't their decision....
He really needs to get his shit in order before putting out videos. Especially after that BS Dirty Bomb video.....

Where did I say any of that?
All I said was that I did not want to hear his whining motif or bitching about Batman/Rocksteady when WB has been frugal and open with correcting it (and are to blame).
I would not mind reading what he says, I just do not want to hear it.
Good bye!
It's up to guys like Joe to stand up for us against those nasty nasty publishers!
Yes it would - I'm not suggesting it'd only apply to angry joe.
However, if eg Jim Sterling posted a video about a new topic, that would qualify for a new thread as 'new news' I think. He often does that and there wouldn't be a natural existing thread for it.

Spends $120 on "broken game"
Posts "review" with him having 6 year old child'esque tantrum
Gets tons of clicks (partly thanks to this thread)
Video makes him $1000's in revenue
Dude should be on his knees thanking WB for material to make this video.

Just my experience but i didnt bother to go into the Batman threads cause i dont really care about Batman. However i do care about AngryJoe and what he has to say and by doing so i learned of the issues surrounding the game. A lot of stuff i dont bother with on GAF i learn about via Jim Sterling or AngryJoe.
edit:
The AngryJoe hate is so good haha Reminds me of Howard Stern in the 80s/90s.

There is a joke in that acronym somewhere.
That's a good point, it's like a summary of the controversy. I like TotalBiscuit a lot too.
I did joke that AJ would be pleased with the batman port but at the end of the day he's getting more people to expect better quality, works out.

Dude probably got the game for free. How did he spend 120 on it? I didn't watch the video.
Also he won't thank WB. He hardly thanks his fans who made him on a sense. Like I said some of he previous joe threads, he knows what gimmick works and sells. Every thread made is proof of it.

But you also get misinformation. If you followed GAF, you'd learn that he was talking out his asshole about Dirty Bomb. And you'd learn know that AngryJoe is wrong to place blame on Rocksteady instead of Warner Brothers. Dude doesn't know what he's talking about half the time it seems.

Hahaha I know right. One thing i will give angry joe is he knows how to milk his fanbase for the $$$. I can't hate on him guy knows his audience and milks them well. Making a lot of money on the process. Good for him.
Good point. I guess if nobody cared, the thread would fall off the front page pretty quickly. Ironically those complaining about it are keeping it active and therefore visible

Afaik AJ buys almost all of his stuff. Sure the money might ultimately come from his Youtube check, thats his job.
Maybe you mean someone else cause this doesnt sound like AngryJoe at all.

He bought the PS4 version, the PC version and the Season Pass for the PC version. How about watching the video before commenting.

You know, maybe you and the other Angry Joe fans could do something like create a community and post there, y'know like the other Youtube personalities threads were forced to?

Both of these have been disproven time and time again with AJ. When he said he bought an Alienware PC? He back peddled when called out and said he is sponsored.l and got it for free. When he got his free wii u donations, he claimed they never happened and bought it himself.
Just google search it if truly interested.
Oh mobile with bad internet so won't be able to do much til late night. Also how did he spend 120 again?
Edit
Thanks. As said on very bad mobile net at the moment. Thanks.

Do not worry , its just part of his performance. Do not take him seriously is like a walking meme. Its funny anyway.

Destiny rant maybe but bloodborne review forget about it. It's been like what 4 months since Bloodborne came out? Joe will not make as much as money on bloodborne anymore as he would say by making the next rant video.IMO Joe goes where the money is at, which is funny because apparently he's some GI JOE character fighting evil GREEDY corporation lol.
I don't have a problem with him or his channel or even the thread in general. I just don't feel we should link the video here. If someone wants to go look for it, let them.

I'm guessing that Nintendo rant he did got some riled up here.

Its a non-issue to me so ill take your word.
Actually he bought a copy on the PS4 and a copy on the PC with the Season Pass. He even shows his receipt in the video. Goes a long ways actually educating yourself and watching something before hurling judgement.
And considering how off base you were with the first part it's easy to see why you're off base with the second part as you clearly don't watch his stuff. He actually thanks his fans and does a lot of stuff with them very regularly especially over on Twitch.
Again actually watching his stuff goes a long ways in knowing how he behaves, what he does, and all that jazz.
Dude, people posted this kind of stuff in AJ threads before that nintendo video.

Well as a fan of AngryJoe please keep on hating because you bring about exposure and publicity.

Appreciate it
I also take your word on this as well as.
It is a non issue. Just interesting in my opinion
"Joe Vargas does thorough research and shares his opinions without screaming" wouldn't get nearly as many clicks, I suppose.
You know, thats the thing.
Its a gag, or a shtick. He doesn't really seem angry, so its more cringe worthy than anything. I mean, unless you guys know that and just say, "Oh today he's REALLY (fake) angry!" and that's the joke that flies over my head
Fwiw I think he's annoyed or pissed or what have you with these issues he yells on about, legitimately. Just not RAW RAW BAAAAAHHH FUUUUUUU childish trantrum levels of angry.
You know, I couldn't stand Chris Farley, and he had the same tendency to go way the fuck over the top (though it was mixed with some good shit as well), maybe that's the same appeal here with Joe?

I wanna hear him tell off WB for messing up the PC BAK launch. That they tried to pull that shit...
I agree he cares about the consequences of the issues, even if he has to sell it with a rant. It works.
He could have said more about refunds probably forcing WB's hand in the matter but the gist is there with the negative reviews.

Maybe it's better he didn't mention it anyway.

im sure he exaggerates things for humors sake when he goes off the deep end but i feel his passion for things is genuine. The best example of seeing Joes emotions go from giddy excitement to mild frustration to throwing the controller pissed is this Steel Battallion video.
Yeah, he's definitely a positive in the community

Kinda weird how Final Bosman (He's a personality / commentator), and Giantbomb crew have threads posted about them...even non-gaming related in the gaming section. There was a GB thread about them streaming their road trip or some bullshit.
Seems like whichever mod instituted that policy needs to be more consistent. At the very least contain each person to a single OT thread or something. This is a good video showcasing someone with a decent viewership and top of the line hardware experiencing performance issues.
People are so tricked by reaction videos. That kid is throwing tantrums to get views and more money. He cried that he paid 100 and tax for game/dlc, but really it was given to him by companies and suckers who donate.
He said should have gotten game for PS4. Guess what will happen next time he buys a new game. He will ask which version gets the less support and buy the version that works the least good. That way he gets more views and money for crying. He knew right away it was outsourced. Guess how. Interviewing teams and staff.
