One of the most toxic and worst reviewers online.

Agree with the score though

30+ hrs of the game on PC and I've not had errors at all like he keeps getting, so odd. Game runs rock solid for me

Joe's a toxic dick which bothers me greatly because I really liked his reviews.

He royally showed his ass with the TLOU leaks

I would have like this type of 'shouty shouty' videos if I am still in my pre-teens.

Even AVGN mellowed quite Abit but I guess for some video channels, the single schtick of 'shouty shouty' is only differentiator they can come up with based on their limited talent.

Really good review and has actual complaints. He was playing it on Twitch and getting all those errors live it was crazy and waiting for matches is crazy long. I can see this going free to play to try and save it from being dead if they expect dlc that far out.

I have been lucky and haven't seen any of the leaks and i haven't watched any of the footage released recently. So in a none spoilery way can you tell me what happened?

No problem if you can't because of spoilers though.

What did he do, say spoilers?

If I had to guess (and I'll be vague here in case someone hasn't read the spoilers), it might have to do with some LGBT stuff in the TLOU2 leaks not related to stuff we already knew about Ellie that lead to Joe using the 'SJW's ruining another X' adage. It's been about a month since I watched it and he may have tried to backpedal/clarify later in the video, but the intro was spent with that mindset at the forefront of the complaints.

Man, I miss when he didn't fill his videos with unfunny skits and his almost painful to watch live-stream footage. It's 2020, Joe. Screaming in your mic hasn't been funny for five years. I agree with most of his points in the first ten minutes, but I can't watch more.

Really? I don't watch his videos but he always seemed half decent.

They could really have done with adding this straight to PS Now really. It's a Sony published game, no excuses.

Matchmaking times have been alriiiight for me so far but only if you wanna play as a human. Predator wait times are at about seven minutes already.

Why are we giving a platform to a dude who hailed JonTron's return and collaborated with Boogie?

Really? Always seemed like joe was really openminded about these issues... i didn't watch the video since i didn't want spoilers but if if he really said shit like that and complained about SJW/LGBT stuff man that's disappointing as fuck

And yet, he seems as successful as ever. And Joe was doing skits as far as I can remember... the first vid I saw of him was a FC2 vid which was basically all skits.

Same I unsubscribed recently, ever since Alex became a full timer, AJ's content has gone way downhill, he seems like a really bad influence on Joe, especially when it came to TLOU 2 leaks.

Man, I don't have any strong opinions on any of this, but I find it funny how sensitive a lot of these guys are to SJW topics. Almost like they're the sensitive ones.

Basically he was mad because of FAKE leaks that originated from 4Chan that tried to paint the game as "SJW propaganda" and he took them as a fact

I really used to enjoy Angry Joe and agreed with most of his critiques in terms of the game itself. But he has unfortunately drifted further and further away from reasonable commentary. The Last of Us video really was kind of the line he crossed.

Who knows maybe he's backpedaled since then.

I like his movie reviews way better than his video game reviews
His movie reviews are actually really good

He's been raging about "social justice" with the spoilers.

His TLOU2 review is probably gonna be the make or break of whether I drop him or not. He used to be pretty liberal even at one point sorta defending Anita Sarkeesian when hating her was the big thing. Nowadays he's slowly been turning into every other reactionary YouTuber.

He did backpedal and said the game looked amazing after the latest trailer but he insists the story (as in FAKE spoilers he read about) is shit because SJWs

It's sad because at one time he was arguing in favor of BFV and then backpedaled when a lot of his fans turned out to be the type to whine about SJWs.

Combine this with his take on guns and I don't feel any regret for unsubbing and not watching his videos. Would rather give views to people who espouse empathy and compassion than the types that whine about SJWs.

At least they put it on PC with cross play but it's already at those wait times is bad and Arnold being DLC is just headshaking when he should have been part of the base game and marketing to sell the game at the start.

Agreed with the people saying "Fuck Joe", he's a known piece of shit who lets a suspected pedo on his show and his reviews haven't been good in a long timeee.

Having cross-play turned on by default was a big saviour. The beta had it opt-in and I was super worried for launch. Glad they switched that!

Wait TLOU? I thought the beef with Joe was that he was a gun guy who defended the AR-15 after a mass shooting

I haven't heard anything good about this, so his score's not surprising.

I haven't watched AJ's content in a long while, so I'm not aware of the hub bub about TLoU2.
