part 3

Not to be mean, but does anyone feels as if the AVGN might not be as good in games as might assume?

[Abnormal Freak]

I read that he often intentionally plays bad for comedic effect, but maybe he also does suck. Who knows? Who cares.

Rad videos. I wonder how much Castlevania experience the Nerd has (outside of the games covered).

[Highwind Dragoon]

The CV64 Part was ridiculous; how does the music suck?

Did he forget about silent madness?

And why is he complaining about chainsaw Frankenstein and the motorcycle skeletons?

Frankenstein was in Castlevania 1, which took place in 1691, so that argument is shot down.

I don't understand why people think this guy is funny. Bitching and complaining about something isn't humorous, it's just annoying.

I just find him not passin anything quite old hat.
It was funny at first, now it is just okay....

Seeing that he now does good titles, I think he is looking for new material.

People find anything funny

IMO, the AVGN seems to have jumped the shark.  I no longer find him funny but watch his videos for nostalgic purposes

Part 4 is up!

It has Bloodlines and SotN.

EDIT: His SotN review isn't very good though. He's talking about completely random stuff, nitpicking it apart, and comparing it to Super CV 4. I mean... why?

[Xain]

i would have forgiven his ho-hum review on SOTN if he at least said something about the music. He just realized there was too much good with the game that had to ignore some for his format. Also, the 4 seconds on Bloodlines was disgusting.

I have a few comments:
1) the link you guys provided for part 2 goes to part 3 instead. So, I haven't seen part 2 yet.
2) He made a mistake in part 4.  He said that in DoS, the castle appears out of a eclipse in Japan, but it was actually in AoS in which that happened. Plus, he never touched on the fact that in that game you play as Dracula's reincarnation.
3) He didn't even touch on the 2 PS2 titles
4) Is there going to be a part 5? Or, is over completely?

[Abnormal Freak]

Also, the 4 seconds on Bloodlines was disgusting.

You're pretty revolted, eh?

This is probably the last part. I couldn't really care less that he doesn't touch upon the PS2 games or go in-depth with the other titles, because...well...those games just aren't as fun as the old ones.

Hell, I could clamor for an X68000/Chronicles review or mention, but I really couldn't care less. The videos were fun, I enjoyed them, and I really don't see why he would've needed to go further with Bloodlines. He showed some coolness, mentioned how awesome it is, and moves on. Works for me.

I dunno, I think the AVGN is great. I love James Rolfe's videos, whether AVGN or CineMassacre movie reviews and such. The guy provides loads of entertainment for me. Yet, in this thread and the last one, people are saying he sucks and isn't funny. Yeah, you said that already... We get it. Quit watching the guy if you think he sucks; I think your opinion on him being unfunny sucks, so nyah. :o

[Highwind Dragoon]

Oh no, a mod of an Overbloated, comatose forum says we suck!

Whatever shall we do? *sarcasm*

See, AF, your statement doesn't really carry a lot of weight now, does it?   

[gravekeeper]

In the original Castlevania Frankenstein was a boss. In CV64 there were several Frankensteins and they were wielding chainsaws.. I mean c'mon. And how can you NOT complain about the motorcycle skeletons?? That idea is probably as good as a fleaman flying a helicopter.. or having Super Mecha Dracula 2000X as the final boss.

. The videos were fun, I enjoyed them, and I really don't see why he would've needed to go further with Bloodlines. He showed some coolness, mentioned how awesome it is, and moves on. Works for me.

I thought the vids were fun as well. My thing with bloodlines is that there was enough WTF material to extend the segment. The background at the end of the first stage, drac's forms i.e. the random second one, hell he could have just went off how ridiculous the Germany stage was.

I like AVGN a lot, but what bugged me about this last vid is that it felt too general.

Well, technically I said your opinions suck. ;) And it was a childish remark intended to be so.

Also, I'm not a mod anywhere. :o

[Highwind Dragoon]

Yeah, I knew that all along.

Maybe I was thinking of Heretic?
