How so?
Hm. Didn't know about all this controversy from E3 and such.
Game looks good though, except for all of those annoying puzzles and minigames.

I'm not sure whether you're calling him a cock just because you're looking for a meaningless insult or not, but if you're saying that because you think he's self centred then well
Go figure? This is a review, his own personal analysis and opinion of a game, not a representation of a majority's opinion. Either way saying that shit is dumb.
The humour or attempts at it might not appeal to everyone and it can be hit and miss, but its mostly done because Joe is that sort of upbeat guy, and I find that really appreciable in a positive way. I'd say just skip them but since you're obviously of the mind that because he fails to impress you he deserves to be reviled that'd be pretty pointless
I should also point out that people that behave like that disgust me

Don't ask, it only accelerates the derailing argument that happens in every Angry Joe thread.
Angry Joe's whole persona and skits often are obnoxious, but he makes some very solid points about the games he plays and the fact he's basically an amateur reviewer that's not tied to any big journalism website means he can just call things out for being shit or scummy and no one can stop him.
I think it was Pat from Two Best Friends that said that Joe was basically a necessary evil, he's not exactly appealing to everyone, but his reviews are solid and complete enough to overlook his character.
About Watch_Dogs. It's not worth 60 euros, whatsoever. It's barebones in many aspects, graphically it's very uneven (some places look great, some others look like utter fucking garbage), the gameplay is basic and uninspired, the hacking itself lacks variety and the story is pretty shit. Doesn't mean the game has only bad aspects though, it's fun to fuck around (as with all open world games), the randomly generated profiles as well as the intercepted calls and texts can be funny, there's a lot of unlockable outfits (most of which are better than the DLC ones) and the digital trips are legitimately good. The game just doesn't feel like it belongs with a $60 pricetag.

Watch this with a HTML5 player and at x2 speed and you'll get 60fps footage of the game by Benbuja. Some sections look like they're out of a mid-generation 360 game rather than a new gen title.

Now I'm concerned about The Division seeing how this had many Short comings.

I've always wondered why does 60FPS looks much smoother as a video than as a game, because there it feels like as if I was playing at 120FPS (Assuming i'd have a compatible monitor)
All that Joe really needs to do is learn to green screen better.
Is Joe obnoxious and a tad annoying at times? Yes, it's obvious.
But he brings up a lot of good points that ~gaming journalism~ is paid off [I]not[/I] to do.
Also I have to say, Joe has got some really good points but i really liked the game.

Because when you actually play the FPS fluctuates a lot between 50 and 60 fps.
I'm also pretty sure the most common way of recording 60fps footage is to record it in slow motion then speed it up.
I wonder youtube should allow 60fps video by now with a 30fps mode for those who can't buffer 60fps video. We have 4k HD which is WAY LARGER than 1080 60fps in filesize even with h265.
Although there is smooth video project, can't be done on the browser though.

no not really, i can run plenty of games at 60fps permanently and it never feels that smooth in any game unless you lower the res and make it windowed. with a normal to large sized monitor you wont notice the extra smoothness at full screen, even in that video at full screen it looses most of its smoothness.

The HTML5 player can technically run 60 fps videos, but youtube automatically scales down uploaded videos to 30 fps.

having recently learned how to do chromakey and plate extraction at school, I can't watch angry joe's videos anymore without wishing I could pop the video into nuke and get rid of the green :v:

I dunno, it adds to the effect, imo. But I see where you're coming from v:v:v

It's ok for anyone to dislike Angry Joe ever since he actively shamed people for enjoying a game, telling them it wasn't ok and that they were ruining it for "the rest of us". He's supposed to be a professional but clearly he doesn't have what it takes.
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;45035587] He's supposed to be a professional[/QUOTE]
Haha what? No he isn't.

Angry Joe has been shit at video production for as long as he's done videos. He just doesn't care enough. In 20 years he'll still be clipping his audio and have tons of chroma bleeding.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;45035595]Haha what? No he isn't.[/QUOTE]
He's paid for what he does, he's a professional. Literally the textbook definition.

You're using the bolded definition in the first post to shame him by saying he doesn't fulfil the criteria to be a professional whereas here you're attempting to confirm that he is so your insult works by using the secondary, far more broad definition, despite the fact that the two cannot coexist towards the same end you are trying to put across in the context of your first post
I should point out that is ironic that you are shaming him and now you're a bad person and should be reviled justifiably by everyone *cough*
Also [I][citation needed][/I] on that first post. Besides the fact that I was pointing out that reviling someone for the quality of their content is stupid, not reviling them for their own actions.

Ehh. Even with that trick, the game's FPS fluctuates so wildly due to shitty performance that it still doesn't look like 60fps.
AJ's reviews are good but they always goes out on these skits that make the review come off very cheesy. Not to mention he spends so much time on the scripts and being fake mad that it pushes his reviews past the point where most of the internet and people already know about the game.
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;45035833]He's paid for what he does, he's a professional. Literally the textbook definition.[/QUOTE]Textbook maybe, but not in sensical way. Just because he is paid does not mean he has to obey by some professional standard since he gets paid without obeying it.
