So I don't feel bad for him, when you're an ass people are going to be assholes too. so the guys doing the damage are dicks, just like the victim. I say, let them fight. |
I get where you're coming from, but that's kinda his shtick. The cocky/arrogant way he presents everything? Hell, every jimquisition ends with him saying "and thank god for me." I can only hope he isn't actually like that in regular interactions and I haven't read his zelda review yet, but at least that's his general appeal, being a dick

He's pretty damn popular on his own, way more than when he was in destructoid, he's had way more than just a few minutes of fame. And again, his revenue doesn't come from ads or clicks to his page, he's got like $11K in patreon. Based on all that, i'd say you don't know his work all that well, mate.
I read his review and it had some legitimate points. Other criticts and players have expressed their disdain for the low durability of weapon, frame drops and somewhat limited stamina that is available early on, as well as the Amiibo exclusive content . He mentions a lot of other smaller annoyances (weather preventing traversal, one-hit opponents, short draw distance, etc) that, during his experience, affected his play through so it makes sense that in retrospect he would deduct points. You may disagree with him on certain topics but I don't see where you can call him clickbaity or attention seeking as he laid out all the things he praised and disliked
