[QUOTE=gudman;44549882]That's no excuse. Character can be shit and make bad first impression for the viewer. I must admit, I wouldn't ever watch Jimquisition, let alone his small lets-plays on youtube if I had no prior knowledge of him.[/QUOTE]
What, it's not an excuse because there are people can't see obvious sarcasm? It's not his fault that no matter how obvious you make it some people are going to miss it.

that's if the character good or not, Jim's character isn't special in anyway. Yahtzee's isn't special either, but it's all about execution.
[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;44544084]That's a funny observation because more people watch Jimquisition than Zero Punctuation.[/QUOTE]
I'm not disagreeing or anything but where are you getting this? I Just find that a bit hard to believe

Welp.[/QUOTE]
I like the little plug he makes near the end, where the show is in early access, and that "Early access stuff is above reproach, and beyond all criticism. So if you have something you don't like, hush your lips."
I feel it really has gotten to a point where games in early access which have very serious and legitimate problems, are naively considered to be exempt from all criticism, as there is some belief that any or all problems someone may have with the game are guaranteed to be fixed by the time the game releases.
[QUOTE=Mkt778;44550589][u]It's just a character he's playing and not a literal representation of himself.[/u][/QUOTE]Isn't that obvious? The whole nazi-parody style should give it away you'd think.
I think it'd be objectively good for the industry if there was some kind of huge marketing fuckup and everyone distanced themselves from having marketing budgets larger than the actual development budget.
I don't want to say [I]crash[/I], but if you think it that'll do.
[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;44544040]the only real reason people watch the escapist is for zero punctuation, this guy just doesn't interest me at all.
he tries so hard to be funny but fails at it, and it just feels like it's filler for the more popular show.[/QUOTE]
I don't really like Jimquisition because he sounds like he's bordering from "I don't like the shady thing these companies do, but I still appreciate what they do" to "COMPANIES R EVUL BECAUSE $60, BULLSHOT, GREED, MONEY, EA, SATANIC, LIEZ."
