Conspiracies are bad if they don't align with his politics. Now, if Deus Ex whined about how everything from gender to who gets hired was molded and controlled by decades of secret manipulation to keep everyone but straight white men down, he'd stuck it off harder than a whore in proximity to a rich guy.

I still think his Witcher 3 video was even worse.

Angry white men.

Yeah, he is a typical cuck. From what I remember he goes hard on gamergate in another video. Certified

Sounds like Deus Ex MD&HR, combined with popamole gameplay. Playing them put Invisible Wars in better light.

5 hours of retelling a game story.


I have a high tolerance for longwinded "game analysis" videos like Indigo Gaming (and a few others, that I quit after their analyses became increasingly woke) but I noped the fuck out of his first Witcher video when he started sperging about the grammatical value of the word "Witcher" from 3:30 and rambled on for several minutes until I quit and unsubbed.

5 hours. Damn :lol:

Yeah, I'll listen to it. In chunks, while doing other things.

I'm very into cock and ball torture


Call of Cthulu is together with Vampyr in the current humble bundle for 12$. Both have gotten rather middle of the road reviews, but for about 5€ I think it's worth the price.

Yeah, JA is one of the better wannabe intellectual gaming youtubers, but he really doesn't know how to keep himself short. Still makes for a decent podcast experience if put on while doing something else.

I played the pirated version of CoC for a few hours and quit. Very mediocre stealth system, investigative mechanics are absolutely braindead, and puzzles are boring as hell. The story seemed tiresome and predictable, as well. I wasn't a fan of DCoTE either though.

Too bad his reviews are shiiiieeeet. But I'm still subscribed to him as he's one of the rare people reviewing various FPS games. :negative:

I'm sure a lot of the Codex would hate him because he's generally positive about things, but I think his scripts are pretty well written, the odd bit of forced toilet humor aside.

Oh, I don't dislike him because he's positive, I mean that's a good thing. It's just that his reviews are often shallow and poorly reasearched (if it comes to older titles). I guess I was spoiled by some other youtubers...

Nonsense. He gained his audience by reviewing a variety of boomer FPS classics, then moved on to more obscure games from the 90s-early 00s. People turned on him because:

A: He lost a lot of his niche by moving on to generic AAA garbage, which you can get from anyone. These days he reviews shit like The Last of Us 2 for fuck's sake. He hasn't completely abandoned mods/older games but I unsubbed because the ratio of nushit to obscure titles got too much.

B: He seriously damaged his credibility when he reviewed Nightdive's Blood demaster, wherein he gave it a glowing review and failed to cover the countless bugs, glitches, and depatures from vanilla balancing. This was exacerbated by the timing of Civvie giving a much more negative review a bit later on, which caused a minor exodus of dissatisfied viewers who had followed ggman for boomer stuff (see above) and discovered Civvie's channel as an alternative.

C: He began being invited to press events and getting preview copies of games, which some felt affected his impartiality (e.g. his fawning Rage 2 review and Fallout 76 apologia).

D: He's A*stralian

I doubt he gives a shit - he's more popular than ever and is probably one of the biggest FPS-centric e-celebs who doesn't just stream Fortnite or CoD for ten-year-olds, plus he's socio-politically less pozzed than civvie, for example. But there are good reasons people dropped him.
