Well he just gave Yooka-Laylee a 2/10, maybe that'll suffice for his mandatory troll review for the month lol... He scored it a solid 30 points lower than the second lowest score:

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-one/yooka-laylee/critic-reviews

Certainly churned up a lot of publicity from that one, so he might be able to take a break for a few weeks from the trolling :D

*sigh* You know he wasn't the only person who didn't like that game?  It was rather divisive.  I mean shoot, GameXplain's cast was divided on it. 

And the idea that he just craps on Nintendo's games is just BS.  Xenoblade Chronicles X and Splatoon 2 got honorable mentions in his top 10 games of 2015 and he praised Splatoon 2's free DLC practices and even defended the ammount of content it launched with.  Smash brothers was one of his top games of 2014 and Hyrule Warriors also made that same list.  Jim doesn't just go around hating on Nintendo willy nilly.  And the accusation that he does nothing but troll is just plain untrue.  I'm not his biggest fan, don't like all his videos, don't agree with all his views.  But the trolling accusation is just bull.

I'm mostly joking around. I remember many nice reviews from him in regards to Nintendo titles, like Super Mario Maker (90) and Splatoon (I think it was like 85), and he always seems to like Kirby.

In defense of Yooka-Laylee, though, people found flaws with the game for sure. 2/10, though, puts it in the company of games that legitimately don't function whatsoever, though, and that's just absurd.

In his own words, "A 2 represents a straight-up bad game. A thorough disaster, there is no hope of a positive experience ever shining through all the broken features and atrocious ideas. Only the truly desperate will be able to dig through the mire and find something passable."

He appears to be the only person on earth who feels it's that bad, deserving to sit beneath gems like Devil's Third and Stalin vs. Martians :D. If I have one issue with him, it's an utter lack of consistency in all things outside of his love for Kirby. Otherwise, some of his overly negative reviews often feel very forced.
