I found this less annoying than actually trying to listen to Jim Sterling. [editline]9th July 2017[/editline] Considerably less annoying in fact.
Slowbeef is a national treasure
Wasn't sexual enough, didn't even have a single mention of the word 'cum', generally associated with another word like 'rag'. Very poor Jim Sterling parody. 9.5/10.
I don't get it, it's just a usual Jimquisition episode. Is it because he changed his intro?

man beef's never been the same since his head injury [media]https://youtu.be/Et6mRSFgknI[/media]
Jim Sterling is great and all but this was fucking hilarious
[QUOTE=MrJazzy;52455522]Jim Sterling is great[/QUOTE] hes unbearable
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;52455545]hes unbearable[/QUOTE] I get what you're saying but honestly I value his commentary on the industry enough to appreciate him.
Apparently I'm a minority on this forum for enjoying Jim's videos
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;52455545]hes unbearable[/QUOTE] Does FP hate Jim now? I can't keep track anymore of all the people FP loves and then drop like a sack of rotten potatoes for seemingly no reason.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;52455614]Does FP hate Jim now? I can't keep track anymore of all the people FP loves and then drop like a sack of rotten potatoes for seemingly no reason.[/QUOTE] Yeah this Facepunch guy is really indecisive, he should make up his mind already
[QUOTE=Liem;52455609]Apparently I'm a minority on this forum for enjoying Jim's videos[/QUOTE] Some people find his hilariously-over-the-top caricature of a pompous jack-ass to be unbearable. I personally find it hilarious, and love him for it. If he were just another boring reviewer, or god forbid another schtick reviewer like Angry Joe or Nostalgia Critic (both of whom I enjoy but definitely don't want any more people with styles like them), I wouldn't give his videos any attention whatsoever. To me, Jim's character is what engages my interest in the discussions he brings up, much like Yahtzee's quick-witted and low-brow humor engages my interest in his (usually) railing on games I like.
[QUOTE=a-cookie;52452732]man beef's never been the same since his head injury [/QUOTE] You can tell hes changed post-branch by the fact that he uploaded a video with an anime thumbnail. [editline]July 10, 2017[/editline] Also, Im pretty sure that slowbeef is actually a fan of Jim.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;52455614]Does FP hate Jim now? I can't keep track anymore of all the people FP loves and then drop like a sack of rotten potatoes for seemingly no reason.[/QUOTE] Why did you respond to a string of disagreeing posts with a sweeping generalization of the entire site lmao

I can understand why some people wouldn't be into his character. I'm just kinda into the camp of it
I dunno, I like Jim's persona. It's stupid and entertaining and I don't think it detracts from his actual points and opinions.
is that a lightbulb he's holding? lmao [QUOTE=chunkymonkey;52455614]Does FP hate Jim now?

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;52455779]If you check his PSN trophies he doesn't finish any of the games he plays[/QUOTE] Does one have to complete an entire game to review it? I mean if you were talking about the story I would say yes, but gameplay-wise I would imagine that it's not as important. [editline]butts[/editline] To talk about the video, I also wanted to mention that I'm pretty sure they're friendly with each other. I know slowbeef has been on their podcast and Jim Sterling has been on retsupurae's as well.
[QUOTE=kariko;52455795]Does one have to complete an entire game to review it?

You would never take a person who reviews movies or books seriously if they didn't finish what they were watching or what they were reading so why should you take a videogame reviewer seriously when he doesn't finish the game he's reviewing
[QUOTE=kariko;52455795]Does one have to complete an entire game to review it?

Honestly wasn't even aware he did game reviews. I watch Jim for his Jimquisition videos, where he mostly discusses problems in the games industry, the gaming communities, or case studies of things going wrong, such as his case study on the problems with that one Assassin's Creed game and what went wrong with it. You don't need to play the game to the very end to know that this isn't quite right. [t]https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1544/15443861/2732023-289650_screenshots_2014-11-11_00006.jpg[/t]
Jim is just too wildly inconsistent for me. He can have some great opinions on controversial subjects, but at the flip of a hat, he can have some very misinformed or misguided opinions as well. He's also apparently not too far off from the "corrupt game journo" tree by some accounts (in terms of association, not actual reviews), which would make sense given his history with Destructoid and The Escapist. That being said, his opinions being stupid or no, I can respect them, and I can respect those who enjoy his content. I'm not going to call you a cum eating shitstain for watching and enjoying Jim's content.
[QUOTE=kariko;52455795]Does one have to complete an entire game to review it? [/quote] yes.
I love Jim as a critic and respect him greatly for how he approaches issues, never backs down etc. but by God, sometimes his "humour" really doesn't stick with me. It feels like he's going for the awkward on-the-nose comedy like Red Letter Media but it just falls flat on its face.

[QUOTE=27X;52456621]yes.[/QUOTE] idk I think that if for instance you've played through half of a game and it's been garbage so far you can safely trash it. Even if it gets better afterwards this can't really redeem the whole game.

Jim has also talked about boss fights he's never done
