Honestly, he sums up Ubisoft a little too well to not sit through his usual bullshit persona. I've said so many times that I'm done watching his content, but seriously this does too good a job telling it like it is to pass up. I hate his presenting, but the second his videos cut to gameplay and he begins saying actual things...his work sort of shines like few others can.

I mean, he's technically not wrong, but what's the alternative? Should they just start calling all of their stuff "average" and "unremarkable?" It's marketing, using stupid words to make things sound cooler than they are. Honestly it sounds like Jim's only problem is that they're using the word "iconic" in places where "signature" or "trademark" would fit. Which again, the definition of iconic supports the usage of those other words, but it's pedantic, in my opinion.

part of me thinks he's right but part of me thinks "wow is he saying that marketers might overuse or misuse a word, fuck stop the presses"

Did he forget what Buzzwords are? It's to sell, think about it, would you buy a Hat, or an iconic Hat? I would buy an Iconic Hat over a Normal Hat.

does he just look for the smallest things to complain about or what i really dont understand this guy

[QUOTE=hunter_killah;49937677]does he just look for the smallest things to complain about or what i really dont understand this guy[/QUOTE] He finds bad and annoying marketing practices and he complains about them

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;49937695]He finds bad and annoying marketing practices and he complains about them[/QUOTE] Even marketing practices used outside of the industry by other industries? Usually I agree with the guy but this one...is...shit man.

He's been getting like this for a while. After the whole thing with that one butthurt studio and Konami thing died down, he's outta sthick. His worst vid was about the Pacific Trade where he offered NO solutions or hope, just a doomsday video about how fucked we all are.

He made a 6 minute video of nothing besides him making shitty jokes, adding nothing to the conversation.
