These things get harder to watch. The skits are just so fucking cringey and add nothing but extra runtime for no reason.
He should just cut them. I mean, he would save a lot of production time too.
i think it would benefit joe if he made a new series that focuses on maybe 5-10 minute reviews. This game really isn't much to talk about yet the thing is 40 minutes. I just watched the james and mike mondays episode on this and from what I can gather it's faithful in terms of replicating the looks of the monsters but the gameplay blows
Oh god the Shame Nun at 33 minutes

I think most of it is filler of his stupid bullshit. Kind of annoys me, too. Just wish it was a straightforward review.

Go to a video game convention with Angry Joe at it, and you will find out the average viewer loves the skits/fluff of his shows.
Am I the only one who watches his show because I think he's funny, I don't really give a shit about the games really.

Sometimes the average person loves the personality more than the review itself.

I honestly like some of the sketches and angry rants. It gives him a bit of a personality than "Hi, I'm Angry Joe, and this is my review of Godzilla." For one thing, it shows how terrible the game can get, and yeah this review is a bit lengthy clocking in around 40 minutes, but some of his content shows that he cares for what he puts out for his fans.
Game related, I actually bought this game to break up the amount of hours I put into Bloodborne while Joe was streaming the game. I'm probably going to regret it. :v:

If you don't want it you can donate it to the GiveItToMe foundation.
Help save lives, kid.
What was that music at the beginning?
I didn't mind this was 40 minutes. I really thought this game was hilariously getting worse and worse as it went with the laziness.
The funny thing is that I saw this game playing at SGC last weekend and just thought it was that old gamecube game with godzilla in it when passing by. I still can't believe this is a 2015 title.
Facepunch is the only place I see people complain about his skits so much.

He probably enjoys doing them. And his more regular viewers seems to like them.

[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;48315041]Facepunch seems to hate any internet reviewer doing sketches that isn't RedLetterMedia or Jontron (or anyone of his ilk).[/QUOTE]
Probably because those two are great. Well, Jon sometimes doesn't get the skits right but still his lows are better than Joe's Cobra Commander.
[sp] And if you think I'm hating or something, I'm not. I personally don't like the skits so I make the brilliant, sovereign decision to skip them. [/sp]

Joe seems a bit more nerdy to me, more than any other reviewer I've ever seen. I do enjoy his videos though (I do however kinda hate when he starts screaming, or whenever he does anything cringe worthy).
[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;48315041]Facepunch seems to hate any internet reviewer doing sketches that isn't RedLetterMedia or Jontron (or anyone of his ilk).[/QUOTE]
We just hate uninspired humor.
It also doesn't help that Angry Joe use to be on Channel Awesome.
That place is known for having some of the worst skits of all-time.

RLM skits don't tend to last very long and don't interrupt the review portion often. Along with the fact their actual reviews are decent and they do fall out of character to review movies all the time.
Joe can be okay, but he's really not all that great because of his reliance on his character rather than ability to review. I'd love to see him take some time to do more focused, actually thorough reviews because he clearly has enough care about the media to do it without his shit awful shutter speed on a green screen backdrop from the 90s.

Which is funny because Jontron is the same if not worse in terms of fluff vs actual content sometimes.

Yeah one thing I've definitely noticed about Jon is that he's shifted almost entirely from actually talking about a game to going "LOOK, HERE'S A WEIRD THING IN THE GAME, CHECK OUT MY OVERREACTIONS!"
Not that his new stuff is bad or anything, 's just, it'd be nice if they had more of the old talking about game design and shit like that. In fact even his movie and tv reviews that he's done would be more interesting if he gave his thoughts on filmmaking and acting and things like that.

Yeah. In his Star Wars ones it's even worse. like 80% of some skit thing and 20% of actual gameplay.
[editline]29th July 2015[/editline]
imo old AVGN had a good balance of reactions/skits and gameplay.

Those are arguably his worst episodes out so far
