I watched some of his reviews in 2013 and they were hot tryhard garbage.

Never watched him since then but some people seem to think hes good.

His skits are cringy as hell. But other than that, I like how he talks about the actual game in his reviews.

AngryJoe is great middle ground

He's cynical and informative but still passionate and dudebroey.

Lots of a gaming youtube guys are like "WHOAWHAOW WOW IT'S PETEY AND THE BUTT! AND Checkout this awesome zoopwhoop lookathis! CRAZY SHIT!" with constant camera cuts sucking up to big companies

And then there is the wave of neckbeardy critics saying everything is shit and sucking up the indie devs.

So you get genuine interest in the games from a dude who loves playing games with his buddies and genuine critical thought from a 'witty' critic who hates a lot of shit.

Joe is a mix of both which means to some people he is the worst of both and to others he is the best of both

I've only seen a few of his videos.

I feel like he makes good points on a lot of things but he circles on
topics way too much (which I hate in review videos) and yeah his little skits are cringy as shit. I don't mind the scenes where he's on a couch with his friends playing and they're just doing regular commentary but then he illustrates his point for the tenth time with a dumb unfunny skit.

I thought he was decent, then he started padding his reviews with cringy af screams and reaction faces from his streams.

To be fair, those usually are there to illustrate a specific point. Its not just random goofiness.

He's gotten better at critiques, posting content, and sharing airtime with his friends. Umbrella Corps, Metal Gear Survive, and Fallout 76 are the most entertaining reviews he's ever done, probably because they're super shitty and he put those companies on blast far more than the typical sellout "video game journalist" would.

He's not pretentious with wordplay but most of the time he's right.

Yeah. I don't watch his reviews or Dunkeys until I beat a game. I don't watch any if it's something I already feel justified a purchase.

They're long because if he made a 5-7 minute shallow summary of a game and slapped on an arbitrary score, viewers would be bitching nonstop in comment sections over it and altogether videos wouldn't be worth watching anymore.

I've only watched a couple of his videos, but serious question, is he gay? He's very friendly with the guy with the beard who tries to look like him, like really friendly.

I know but theyre still too long. He doesnt need all the cringe worthy skits and he spends way too much time on trying to prove his point.

He's okay, but I always feel annoyed seeing a guy named "Angry" Joe review a popular/well recieved game and not be Angry. If it's a POS though, i'll watch it.

He's still a manchild who shills the stupidest movies and TV shows. He has slightly better opinions about games. This reviews are still cringe but that is part of the fun.

Some of his sillier skits have gotten a laugh out of me, but i don't always agree with his opinions. If he raves about a game, i'm still going to be cautious, and if he hates a game i'll probably just watch for the rant factor.

Where i do value his reviews highly is when a game is being harshly criticised or overshadowed by another game, but he's pointing out that despite its flaws it's still a fun game and worth a play. More than a few times, these kind of reviews have led me try a game i ended up loving.

If you think Angry Joe is a tryhard then you're probably a tryhard yourself who is projecting. Dude is down to earth and reasonable as fuck most of the time.

No bullshit, I love his AJ news videos. Him, other Joe, and this other guy. Other Joe really shines. In fact, other Joe has kind of become the low key star, and Joe knows this and totally feeds it lol. They feature other Joe so much now.
