Games In Development (The Jimquisition) - General

[QUOTE=Fetret;49656358]No offence but if you care so little about him why do you care about his opinions? I'm not saying this in a snarky way, it just seems interesting to me that you dislike him this much yet still want others to summarise the points he makes.[/QUOTE] i never said I didn't care about his opinion, he makes some great points in a lot of his videos. If it wasn't because of his dumb persona and stupid skits I would watch it.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;49663496]Skip them???[/QUOTE] In some videos his Persona talks about stuff related to the situation, if I skip it then I would be missing out on information.

[QUOTE=Xonax;49663568]In some videos his Persona talks about stuff related to the situation, if I skip it then I would be missing out on information.[/QUOTE] Here's a synopsis so you don't have to watch the ten minute video where none of his skits interact with the editorial segment and last for maybe a minute in total length: He thinks good old games made a good decision in curating early access and valve sucks at it. There you go, none of the theatrics, none of his personality, none of his inflection, and no reason to watch. You have defeated the horrible jim sterling by not watching his videos AND knowing what's in them. Congratulations. Pro tip: his commentary always starts when he's not on screen and anything he talks about in persona will be pretty much repeated in the commentary proper, which means you can skip to the part without his background on it for future reference! Just do that next time instead of asking us to do it for you!

[QUOTE=Xonax;49663568]In some videos his Persona talks about stuff related to the situation, if I skip it then I would be missing out on information.[/QUOTE] If it makes you feel any better, his persona is very downplayed in this video and only has one skit at the end that's not really even a skit.

[QUOTE=Xonax;49663568]In some videos his Persona talks about stuff related to the situation, if I skip it then I would be missing out on information.[/QUOTE] And now you're missing out on all the info and have to rely on people telling you summaries of what he said grow up lol.

[QUOTE=Xonax;49655870]I find his Persona and skits unbearable to watch, not to mention I don't like him based off of other shit he has pulled, which I will not get into since I don't want to start Drama. So could someone give me the run down of the video?[/QUOTE] What has he done?

Can't get over the fucking trench coat, leather gloves, and red sunglasses.

[QUOTE=Sharker;49665157]Can't get over the fucking trench coat, leather gloves, and red sunglasses.[/QUOTE] That with Nazi-style podium and sometimes his over the top I'm-better-than-you character makes it hard to watch even when he has good, reasonable comments.

[QUOTE=Marden;49666381]I'm-better-than-you character[/QUOTE] Thats how acts when he's not playing his character.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49666395]Thats how acts when he's not playing his character.[/QUOTE] Uh, no, no he doesn't.

[QUOTE=Marden;49666381]That with Nazi-style podium and sometimes his over the top I'm-better-than-you character makes it hard to watch even when he has good, reasonable comments.[/QUOTE] I mean I get it's grating to people, but it's also a joke, a total, absurdist, and complete joke, one that seemingly flies over peoples heads. i'm not even a fan of Sterling because sometimes he loses the critical mind he has that makes him worth listening to, but all the same I can't really understand the "oh my god he's putting on an act?!" thing that makes people so mad.

Are we gonna see this same argument on [I]every[/I] Jimquisition video that gets posted here? I'm not even necessarily in favor of the skits or the persona but there's guff about it [i]every single time[/i] a new Stirling thread shows up and it goes absolutely nowhere. If it bothers you that much, then you don't have to watch the video or talk about it. The discussion ought to be about the topic he's covering instead.

To be fair, he makes good points most of time

I haven't been following the gog program. Can someone tell me what the difference between GOG's GID and Steam's Early Access?

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49666395]Thats how acts when he's not playing his character.[/QUOTE] Really? Where?

[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;49675471]I haven't been following the gog program. Can someone tell me what the difference between GOG's GID and Steam's Early Access?[/QUOTE] Watch the video, Jim sums up the differences pretty well.

[QUOTE=Marden;49666381]That with Nazi-style podium and sometimes his over the top I'm-better-than-you character makes it hard to watch even when he has good, reasonable comments.[/QUOTE] That's what makes it so brilliant though. [editline]5th February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=RichyZ;49675781]the vid is kinda redundant, everyone knows early access/greenlight is absolutely dogshit i mean good on sterling for preaching it but that's what it is at the end of the day, preaching to the choir in hopes that maybe a higher up in valve/steam actually listens[/QUOTE] Nobody ever changed anything by being quiet about it.

He even said in this video that he realized he may be coming off as beating the dead early access horse. He did a video not too long back explaining why he does it though. He feels that if you don't talk about something, or stop talking about it, then the people whose mind's we hope to change will stop listening. Its the idea that if something shitty goes on long enough to become banal, then everyone will stop talking about it, and they'll act like that's a pass to keep going. So he doesn't stop talking about it.
