Klyith posted:It's the game entirely appealing to nostalgia, being reviewed by the guy who despises nostalgia. What did you expect? Yeah, while he was possibly being harsher than necessary, I don't think Jim's point was that the game sucks because it was trying to be a Banjo-Kazooie clone; Jim Kickstarted the game and it advertised itself as exactly that. I think his point was that it is a lovely Banjo-Kazooie clone, that fixes none of the problems in its source material, while making a few things actively worse. He paid money because he wanted to see what a 3d platforming collectathon could accomplish in this day and age and was sorely disappointed (I happen to agree with him 100% on this).

remember when you could split banjo and kazooie up and kazooie was 100% better than playing as both

banjo kazooie has some good designs and music and environments but the replayability is very low. that's my opinion

To be fair, he did give Deadly Premonition a 10/10, which is the score for that game.

Of all the weird YouTube personalities, I can't believe how many people unironically enjoy his opinions. He doesn't do the Jimquisition costume/backdrop thing for reviews (or, really, video reviews at all)--reviews are one of the few things he does separate from any gimmicks. Now, whether you find his opinions useful or not is a different question entirely. I don't think he's a particularly good reviewer, myself. That's for reasons entirely separate from scores, though. I just don't think he provides particularly valuable insights about the games he reviews.

he only reviews in text on his website that has no ads so he isn't just trying to get clicks. he has no ad revenue on anything cause so many people pay him to do his routine huff and puff about games industry standards

i think it's weird that jim sterling gave yooka-laylee a 2 because it's not really a super bad game but also i would not give it much higher than a 6 there are some real big kickstarter disasters but unlike, say, mighty number 9, yooka-laylee does not make me want to die for every moment i play it

"Hey the game you like got a 9 of 10 review!" "Well that's cool but scores on reviews are ultimately a meaningless number without the context of the full review. All my favorite press guys talk about how scores are dumb in this day and age, we should just get rid of them.""Hey the game you like got a 2 of 10 review!"  "WHAT THE gently caress how could anyone put that number on this game!"

There's badass screen filling skeletons though and you can turn into a werewolf on command and just gently caress things up. It's cool that they were given a second chance by Konami to finish/fix their game [glances longingly at MGSV...]
