I want to try that game after watching ProJared shit on it.

I mean it's clearly bad, I just question to what degree.

I'm surprised he's still going. In the new age of YouTube he has to be getting demonetized every time he uploads, or at least age-restricted to hell.

I kinda don't want to watch it because I am a classic Tomb Raider fan and AVGN is so bad at games I can imagine cringing watching him run off cliffs and then blaming the game while ignoring the 97,000 things actually wrong with it :/

I think he makes money of merch and stuff.

His DVDs actually sell.

IIRC, he started a family during pre-production of the AVGN movie.

I think it's just a stylistic choice to not include the words of the theme since the entire theme is sprite style now, probably also a way to try and get around demonetization.

He does more stuff than just AVGN reviews now (let's plays with Mike, horror and regular movie reviews, etc. etc.), and even then he's toned them down considerably over the past couple years.

He's actually one of the dudes who learned to adapt to Youtube instead of just pounding their fists and crying about it.

Props to AVGN for making a new video every month. His videos are all worth watching.

Amazon is also paying him for videos.

Eh, he still says fuck in his videos so I'm sure they're demonetized.

But he probably makes up for it with the James and Mike Monday videos and the merch sales.

I felt like Hong Kong 97 had to try too hard to work with what little was there. It would have been better in a video along the lines of the 12 Days of Shitsmas series.

mike matei is a co-writer for the series. yames has a family. mike only has a girlfriend. yames doesn't have time to cajole with older gams. mike does. I'm starting to think yames' incompetence is indirectly puppeteered by mike because he's incredibly impatient. also the castlevania 64 review involves a segment where he couldn't possibly have gotten to where he was if he didn't know the button to use items.

I want to see him do another set of videos like the Castlevania ones where he just did an overview of the whole series. I don't really know if there's any series left that he could do that with though. I was expecting his Tomb Raider video to be like that actually, but he starts the episode saying he never had any personal history with Tomb Raider.

Old AVGN fans willl know that he got tired of the song years ago and only put it back in his videos because people complained about it

They even referenced it in the Akari warriors video:

Oh lawd that was a stinker.

Fan fact: Paramount blamed it for the fact that the second Tomb Raider film bombed

Why would you wanna see a gameplay of this for more than 10 seconds. Most of the game is just a weird looking guy sloppily shooting at things

i rather hear him talk about and showcase the interesting bad mechanics rather than make a stupid toilet joke for the 100th time.

Watch ProJared's take on it then, because AVGN is not what he used to be anymore. His "angry" acting is still as bad as ever, which is a shame because I remember going to one of his meet ups and asking him why he doesn't seem that angry anymore. He responded, "Oh I guess I have to make the videos when I'm in a bad mood." He probably accomplished too much to be his old angry self.
