I think Angry Joe has to stop reviewing multiplayer console shooters.

He can review the game in whatever damn platform he pleases?

He called it like it is. Besides a few tweaks, CoD hass not become very advanced.

I don't really his reviews anymore.

He reviews for his persona instead of reviewing games imo.

Pretty much this. Joe's not really even a critic; he's more of an entertainer, similar to how Yahtzee is a comedian first and critic second. There are better critics on YouTube that are still rather entertaining to watch (ProJared, TotalBiscuit, and Jim Sterling come to mind for me).

Why should he not review any feckin game he likes? He makes his money by posting reviews. He makes more money by reviewing popular games. As a reviewer he actually should cover all bases because that way gamers of all tastes will watch his reviews. CoD is by far the most popular FPS franchise. Ergo he should review CoD because it's good for business. If he doesn't like the game then he's got 15 or so reviewers on metacritic to keep him company it seems. So it seems like he's not the only person who thinks AW isn't all that.

I didn't see any problem with his review. It seems to me it's just a case of you not agreeing with him.

There is not one thing he said that I particularly disagreed with. My gripe was with his bias to a fleshed out multiplayer review for COD besides the obvious. Its painfully obvious hes not into it.

Why are you playing COD on PC? This is also the reason he had such a bad view of Titanfall. As much as I love his reviews he needs to review multiplayer games tailor made for PC or just stick to single player games on consoles. Outside of that hes an amazing reviewer, but I think we've finally found the chink in Angry Joe's reviewing armor and Its console multiplayer shooters. I started noticing once I saw his Titanfall review.

If you want a good review of COD that is not from a major reviewing site try out Robin Gaming. He's really good, in depth and needs the subscribes.

If you guys know any other good reviewers or commentators on Youtube please drop them here. They are always welcomed.

Some really good reviewers are

Super Bunnyhop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeX38RD52-4&list=UUWqr2tH3dPshNhPjV5h1xRw)

Caz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAwqHuyUbYI&list=UU0rUJ37_FhdKIK3pwyQwAtg)

Put some links to some of the best videos each channel has Dont know if they've been talked about already or how the Vgchartz community feels about them but I really repect all four of these reviwers and I think you'll like at least one of these four dudes.

Dude....Even bunny Hop had a better review and seemed to have a better grasp on difficulty and playstyle than Joe. Because of this guy I take back what I said about PC. There are PC gamers who can actually play COD properly on it. He citicized the game a lot but didnt leave it without its merits.

Same here. Don't like him at all and don't ee his appeal. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that a lot people on the internet are full of anger issues and feel like whenever someone curses or gives a low score to a genre they don't like, he's fighting the good fight. I, personally, don't even like his name ("angry Joe"). I feel like he's being angry for the sake of being angry.

Well Joe is a great reviwer to me, but I think the chink in his armor (as I said before) seems to be multiplayer.

If you watch some of his older reviews, they're really good, the entire reason I originally got interested in him. He went above and beyond describing the games in comparison to most journalists. Even if I didn't like the games, I usually liked the reviews. His XCOM review got me to purchase not only XCOM Enemy Unknown but the original on Steam, which I later tracked down a copy on Ebay and purchased that.

Exactly. He's not into it so says he's not into it. That's what reviewers are meant to do. Movie reviewers don't stop reviewing movie genres they don't like.
