Pretty much every review is going to say things you disagree with and puts their view as the correct one, just comes with the turf and is why there are so many of them instead of just one single reviewer. Now you may not like Joe's videos and that's fine but he sure as hell isn't just some bandwagoner he was one of the only mainstream sources who raged hard about the broken state of Rome 2 and argues that we shouldn't just accept broken games because of the possibility of a patch later where as most count that as miner. And while he is no Jim sterling he isn't afraid to seriously point out issues in the industry like Ridley said.

I get that. I agree that commenting on the industry is paramount to its health and stability. That said, I admittedly haven't seen his thoughts on it; just his movie reviews. Though, I feel it's pretty easy for one to simply "get angry" (his persona, I know) about the flawed state of something and simply complain that it's flawed, which is really what I meant to infer (not that he was a bandwagonier). It's another thing if he's actually making concise, constructive, concrete points without simply parroting everyone else. This may just be me (though, I doubt it), but basically, I haven't had that good experience with him that inclines me to entertain his thoughts or opinions on most things.

Well I can't speak of his movie reviews but he does offer what he thinks may work in terms of games. Especially in the more recent years as he has spent more time around developers and stuff and understands more of how things work.

Well, that's good. I can honestly say I envy that about him; the fact that he can get that close to industry professionals to gain greater insights.

If any of you are thinking of getting a 2TB hard drive for your PS4, for the love of God, do not go external. All it does is backup your save files, it won't expand your storage. A guy at Best Buy told me it would but he's a liar. Thankfully I called and I'll be getting my money back.

Seriously. **** Sony and these applications that eat up all the GBs that make me have to deal with this shit.

Yeah. Suddenly, 500GB doesn't seem so impressive anymore. 🙁

So apparently GamerGate hit pop culture. Law and Order had an episode showing gamers as sick people and they attacked a female game developer. Then she quit after being raped... Yay media.

I can't stand GamerGate. I didn't even know about it's existence until Angry Joe brought it up in his Top 10 Controversies of 2014 video. Ever since then, I've been getting a headache that won't go away and Law & Order just made it worse.

Don't even know what that is.

A group of people who pretend to care about ethics in gaming journalism, but in reality are just apologists for sexist/racist behavior aimed towards those in gaming journalism.

Damn the Order looks so disappointing...ermm

I'm going to rent so I can just experience the graphics and not worry if I got my money's worth.

But I always felt that was going to be the case with this game.

Plenty of them do actually care, though, and were branded racists and mysoginists simply for asking why certain developers were way too pally with writers on various websites.

Both sides have their issues, but to simplify it like that is unfair, imo. And misleading.

Since I cant rent I wait till price drop.
A complete walkthrough is on youtube.

Not sure if I'll get Order myself. I'm kind of getting a Call of Duty vibe off it in terms of how it feels you're rarely outside scripted moments judging by the previews.

Takes 5 hours to complete as well.

I remember reading a preview that was the case.

Feels like a rip off.

But at least Call of Duty has an extensive online portion and co-op offerings. I might not like the zombie mode but it is extensive and can put in 10 hours as well.

I never felt Call of Duty didn't have value if you took the entire package it offered.

Well, I know 2 fellas who buy the Call of Duty games just for the single player. But, most people buy the game for the online stuff.
