I love the names he had for his FFIII characters.

I always thought the complaints in Zelda II were pretty stupid. It's not like the games that hard as long as you don't blow through it like its Contra.
It is my favorite in the Zelda series, and I never thought it was a bad game. I like the palaces in it. They were way more fun than the overhead maps in Zelda 1.
Plus, the music kicked ass.

My only issue was the lack of understandable clues within the game. Other than that, it was always fun.

I didn't really like the graphical presentation of the game, but other then that, I thought it was excellent.
Love and hate for me on zelda II at least.Some times i think link sword should have had a better range at least,not to mention a difficulty setting as well too.
Still...i lol at the end when the avgn used the powerglove as a joke to beat shadowlink.
Zelda II was my first game in the series I played, and I always thought it was pretty awesome. I have no idea how the hell I made it through Death Mountain without a problem as a kid, though.
Good review, didn't outright rip on the game, but pointed out some of the weirdness in it.

James' rage has really cooled over the years since he started his AVGN character. I don't know if its more of he's just getting more burned out creating AVGN episodes or just that the amount of terrible retro games is just getting harder and harder to find (there are def tons of terrible NES games, but how many did most ppl actually play?)
His last three movies have been just ok to me. The last memorable one that I remember was the Batman and Ghostbusters reviews and they were a long time ago. His Moonwalker review was ok also. To be honest his retrospective on Castlevania was more interesting than his last view Rage Reviews.
Doing Zelda II? Desperate. What next Battletoads? Oh wait he did that. Maybe if were lucky he'll do Gilligan's Island for NES next.

My main complaint for Zelda 2 is the "lives" component and that you can't start inside the palace/cave/dungeon where you died, instead have to trek all the way back to where you were. It gets *really* tedious having to walk to the great palace after you lose all you lives.
I don't think he is desperate not yet, considering he has nearly a complete US NES Game set and has the money to buy more shitty games for other systems, I mean he bought the CD-I and the Zelda games on it those aren't cheap. He also has legions of fans to send him shitty games. Also this is all scripted. I would imagine its getting harder for him to do reviews because hes done most of the games he's grown up with so some reviews are completely new impressions. I would consider him desperate if he didn't have as many games as he does.
What's up with islands? Get more land.
What's up with deserts? Get less sand.
Also, he's probably had a fairly consistent stream of requests for a Zelda II review over the years.

I have to admit, I like the reviews for games that pissed him off as a kid more. Dick Tracy and Friday the 13th in particular come off as finally letting off some steam after all those years of frustration.
And don't bring up that stupid girlie Aladdin rip off! Shantea?
Oh come on, it isn't THAT far to walk to each palace once you initially reach it. Once you get the hammer from Death Mountain and the raft from the one palace, you can pretty much take roads to most palaces. I also thought you restarted in the Great Palace once you lost all of your lives there.

Agreed. In the beginning that was the point of the whole character. Now its as much fan service than anything.
do we really need the "it sucks now" stuff after every single new video?
I don't think it sucks, just quality isn't as good as it use to be. I still enjoy watching his new videos, but to be honest I like Keith Apicary more now than I do James.
The "quality" is as high as it's ever been. The production levels and editing are absolutely top-notch. This is not opinion; this is fact. If you just want someone to angrily thrash around while frothing at the mouth, go watch someone else.
.
Who said anything about production level and editing? Your idea of quality and mine are totally different. In fact... Webster defines quality as :a degree or grade of excellence or worth.
While James video are fun to watch in no way shape or form are they the "quality" of the original videos. If you have a problem with people comparing peoples previous works to their present then you need to get over it, peoples opinions are just that opinions. Get over it.

Seriously, what is different? You liked his previous house better or something? It's still the same guy playing old videogames.
I wasn't really saying "james sucks cuz he doesnt shit on games anymore" or anything. But, you know, it's funny seeing actual anger sometimes.
