The Official Angry Video Game Nerd Discussion Thread

[Sonicwolf]

Im laughing at the fact that on the first page of comments on that video, one person says "He tries to imitate other, better, retro reviewers." I wonder which other better reviewer(s) he meant? heh

I kept imagining Groundskeeper Willie was doing the review while watching that...


"Ach! This game plays like it was programmed by the wee cheese eating surrender monkeys!"

[notsonic]

i think my biggest problem with other "angry" reviewers is that their swearing sounds so forced. even in part 2 of the jag review, that richard guy sounded so unnatural.

maybe its just because im from jersey too.


ive always wanted to do my own reviews but i wouldnt know how to be able to make complaints about a game without the internet drawing a comparison and deciding im copying.

Use Shakespearean language. That hasn't been done.

O, developers!
Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless developers!
O, vengeance!

Parts 1 & 2 were pretty good I thought. The Jag was a piece of shit back in the day. Now it really looks like shit.

[Zap!]

I really am a fan of the Nerd, but I'm willing to bet he never owned the Jag when it was new, and not much else besides a NES and possibly SNES. It's so obvious when he does reviews other than Nintendo.

And the first comment I see is someone attacking him over something related to the AVGN. .

He has a new episode up now. It is Metal Gear for the Nes.

Very good vid. Good to know I'm not the only one who loathed the NES Metal Gears.

Amen. Excellent video.

I agree with the review, I really don't like the NES version. I don't get why it's so popular.

Still, my favourite review of Metal Gear is from PlayItBogart.

Another great review. I never understood why that game got as much praise as it did, and I got it for my birthday soon after it came out.

[elvis8atari]

I agree. Metal Gear sucked.

[Tupin]

I agree with that review too, I thought it was weird that I didn't like a Metal Gear game.

[Gentlegamer]

Ah yes, the NES Metal Gear. I remember that I was surprised how good Metal Gear Solid was since "the original" sucked so bad.

[CastlevaniaDude]

At some point just before I became aware of the impending release of MGS, I discovered MSX emulation. My mind was blown at how different their version of Metal Gear was than ours. Night and day.

Noticing that difference sold Konami at least one copy of MGS.

I liked this new video. He focuses more on gameplay than theatrics.

I wish all other upcomming vids are the same, because many of the previous ones were subpar, to say the least.

[mnbren05]

Very good video on a game I have experience with none the less. My brother was into this game way back when and we did rent it a few times. I found it to be too confusing at the time and like the nerd aggitated by the game play.

[Zap!]

I disent, Metal Gear was flat-out awesome.

Did anyone else notice that the Nerd was much more calm in this review? Not that that's a bad thing, he just seemed a lot different. He sounded like he sounds when doing a movie review.
