They never seem to understand how to play games, and Im talking about out of character. Bootsy was always lightyears better (not to mention more entertaining).

Their Goonies 2 playthrough was painful, how they didnt understand item management.

They're definitely pretty bad at games. James especially is terrible.

Nobody cares about their reviews. AVGN is funny and that is what people care about.

I tried watching GG a few times, they seemed wholly disinterested in whatever they were playing

James doesnt care about games outside of just being something fun from his childhood that he turned into a job. I cant knock him for not being good.

Mike seems like a dude who's whole life is games and he still somehow sucks at them.

Yeah this.

Game Grumps (at least Arin Hanson and Jontron, Danny is a HUGE improvement) are also really bad at any trivia game. It's embarrassing and amazing how stupid they can be. I mean, watch this "classic" moment

I'd say Mike at least is better than average. James is hit or miss but has taken on and beaten some hard as fuck games.

James sucks at anything that isn't a NES game that he played religiously as a youth/college student. But as someone has said, he's not really that much of a gamer anymore.

Mike is above average compared to the generic dudebro down the street stereotype gamer, but compared to most online game reviewers he isn't much better.

Honestly used to really like J&MM but it's gotten stale.

J&MM is them playing games they've usually never played. James shines in the AVGN stuff, Mike shines in his livestreams.

I think the problem with James and Mike Mondays is that they play one game for like 20 minutes of content on average and move on to the next game.

It's literally just playing games. They should be giving us so much more content than they are giving, and it would make for a much better series too.

Why did Bootsy go away again? He and Mike had great chemistry, and he was good at the games and seemed to like playing them.

JMM is not a great show. Definitely like their personalities but watching them play seems like it has no purpose since they're not really reviewing the games, nor do they show enough of the game to qualify as a Let's Play...

AVGN actually provides a much better overview of what a game actually is

It isn't that both don't have skill (Mike more than James), but that they're oblivious to the most simple of things.

The latest video, Skyblazer, is a recent example. You can collect gems. Get over 100 gems and receive an extra life. There's a gem counter on the top right of the screen. James and Mike realize you can re-enter a room and collect gems. They then notice they received an extra life. Time passes on by as they discuss how or why with James (and he does this many times) exclaiming the extra life was random. It takes a while before Mike points out the gem counter on the screen an comes to the conclusion that if you pick up enough gems, you get an extra life.

It has nothing to do with skill, but simply overlooking the most basic of things and they do it all the time.

Arin beat the original Ninja Gaiden, so he's not unskilled. Problem is he's illiterate, so anything that requires him to read for more than 3 seconds goes over his head.
