I don't want to live in a world where Angry Joe is the top youtube gaming "critic" because the guy who is actually competent, intelligent, and able to produce worthwhile lectures on the state of the industry as well as give inside looks as to how it works died of liver cancer.

What's wrong with Joe, though?

His rants aren't great but his reviews are quite good, IMO.

Uhh, not really. The only time he's really "good" is when he's reviewing a broken game that everyone else has already came to the same conclusion on. Whenever he has to start forming his own opinions he tends to show off how little he knows about the games genre in addition to just how little he knows about the industry.

I mean we aren't even getting into how he monetized a video where he "cried" over a "good friend" despite the fact that he had only met the man once and didn't even have him on any sort of contact or youtube favorite list or the fact that he was more upset over Nintendo taking his sheckles than he was the death of said supposed friend. Or the interviews where he acts like a total man child, or the completely autismo skits where he passes off any attempt by publishers and devs to bring in an additional revenue in a market that can't support the demands of the consumer on a $60 price point alone as evil scheming overlords, or the videos where he spins conspiracy theories like the one about how EA and DICE made a season pass and cosmetic DLC for the special edition because they're going to make Battlefront a yearly release and charge people money for improvements on the base game, or the videos where he, well I could go on, but you should get the point.

He's an incompetent, immature, moron that capitalizes on whatever is popular in order to bring his sheckles instead of forming real opinions on his own and educating himself on the industry he's supposed to be "critiquing".
