I subscribed to them for a week, but couldn't do it. They always have frustratingly ignorant things to say reguarding Nintendo, and they literally never talk about Microsoft at all, yet 99% of the gameplay they post is Nintendo or on Nintendo systems, and they have Xbox exclusive IPs on their title screens. I'd mostly likely resubscribe if they commited to being a Playstation only channel and only played PS games. But as of now, I can't do it. There's too much unbearable fluff in between the good stuff. Mostly it's Tim, though. He makes it too unbearable to watch because he's so socially awkward and never knows what he's talking about. No wonder IGN never let him host. He's terrible. Remember when he called people who don't do their Patreon "stupid" during the podcast? I just can't. Too frustrating. |
I completely understand. I'm a Playstation fan and I mostly watch for Colin and Greg because that's their expertise. Their current Nintendo knowledge is casual-level at best and the same goes for Microsoft, which is kind of sad considering they were key parts of such a big gaming site. Almost everytime they bring up something Nintendo related I have to cringe because even I, a casual Nintendo fan at best, feel that I'm more well-informed because of VGC. I agree about Tim though. Greg is a great host but Tim I feel like tries way too hard and his gaming knowledge, Nintendo in particular because he acts like a massive fan of theirs, is useless. When they do begin hiring people they definitely need to add a Nintendo, and maybe Xbox, expert to their show.
But yeah, at the moment, for Playstation fans I'd say they're worth a look. But if you like Nintendo or Microsoft, it's better to look elsewhere since they have nothing worthwhile to contribute.
