“I have been extremely critical of Sword and Shield Myself. I will still eventually end purchasing one of them....” This sentiment reflects 95% of the entire Pokémon community.
Master DANX! Who cares catching Pokémon is still fun i bought both versions (for 36.99 each brand new on FB Dailysteals) like a fucking idiot and do not regret it at all....jesus HELP ME
s q u i d w a r d If you bought the game and are enjoying it, that’s fine. My comment is for those who complained vigorously about the game, claimed they weren’t going to buy it, only to purchase both Sword and Shield on launch day lol. The sales numbers have shown this to be truth.
I love how Joe went on local news about the whole violent video game controversy. That shows so much dedication towards this entertainment medium and it makes me so happy to see him representing it. Love you, Joe; keep rocking 🤘
Did he actually specify _he_ went to them, not the other way around? Joe's easily one of the biggest names in gaming-related YT, someone at the station was probably well aware he's from the area and suggested they go to him for an interview.
Obviously... You're JUST realizing that video games are a passion to him?? And that he works harder than most RU-vidrs out there? Get the fuck out lmfao. You're garbage.
Top controversies of yore: *All the ways the games industry has been persecuted* Top controversies of today: *All the ways how the games industry has persecuted you*
The reason the Fallout 76 debacle depresses me more is because the community quickly forgave them just because Wastelanders, the bare minimum of what a Fallout should have in 2020, came out. They forgive and excuse a game that remains very buggy, breaks promises, has ridiculously overpriced monetization, and really offers nothing new to the Fallout formula except for janky multiplayer.
Angry Angry Joe is Back!!! finally in the darkest gaming days, i am so Desperate i almost Cry!!!!! i am so proud that you finally Fight again!!! i believe i will sign up to Monthly pay by now!!! Greatings from Germany
@@Demigodking *crying* i know!! But i believed that He lost His ability to Fight and i thought we lost him on Corporate Comander😭 i Hope He will also use His Bullshit translater again!!!!
It won't though, as Joe mentions the exclusives have been a huge success for Epic. Valve needs to up its game, and if Epic makes them do that then that's great for consumers.
And it worked, gamers went back to throwing money at Hearthstone not even a week after it all started. WoW got more subs thanks to a 15 year old version and the retail version that is just a pile of garbage with horrible writing. Gamers are stupid and easily exploited

@@partialbullet2215 And are you aware that the vocal part of most communities, be it gamer or otherwise is just a very small part and the others mostly don't even care about this stuff? Or why do you think all that horrible MTX shit in all those games is still in and gets worse every year? Because the majority complains and doesn't use it/doesn't even buy the games? Fuck no, it's a minority complaining, the majority not caring and the wales buying whatever they want.

when publishers began buying out gaming companies is when we screwed over the gaming industry, When video games became corporate is where we lost everything.
TitanSparrow The pesticide Atrazine is a major pollutant in most drinking water. It causes male frogs to develop functioning female reproductive organs. Frogs can do that naturally, but it’s significantly more common when they live in Atrazine-polluted water (even when the level of Atrazine in the frogs’ water is only a fraction of the legally permissible level of Atrazine in our drinking water). Atrazine interferes with the hormonal activity of both humans and animals at extremely low doses.
After every entry I was like "this is low the list, what other controversies were worse than this" then every time I saw the next entry I said "oh yeah that happened" a pretty big year for controversies
When I saw Fallout at 8 I thought that something was wrong with the list, but then I watched the rest of the list and couldn't agree more. This was a really bad year by the game industry for players.
He meant "we will get LESS shitty games and pathetic excuses from assholes onstage and broken promises all around because COvid-19 and other worse things happening" lol
There is something absolutely hilarious about the visual of him ranting about video games while a muted Jim Sterling rants about video games behind him.
This. Pokemon was my favorite franchise until that E3 announcement. They went from having a $40 price point in the handheld Era to $60, a $30 DLC expansion, plus the subscription for Home (up to $16/yr) and Bank ($5/yr) in the console Era. Home Premium costs almost as much as an annual Nintendo Switch Online subscription! This is EA levels of price gouging.
@@TheHikariOne you said it well sir. 10 yrs ago we would have thought it impossible to be so greedy. Uhh, we were mistaken and wrong. It sucks ding dongs for sure.
@@TheHikariOne you know what bothers me. I spoke with some Pokemon fans at work. Their response was "At least we don't have to buy another game at full price." and I'm like "what do you mean? You used to get a full game for $40. Now you're paying $90+ for a still incomplete experience?" When did people become complacent with this level of greed?
@@QuestionYourWorld When you're the most valuable franchise on the planet (by around $9B), you can get away with a lot, apparently. Not my words, but another user mentioned that brand loyalty is likely the only reason Pokemon and Game Freak get away with this junk. Imagine the blood on the streets if Capcom or Atlus came up with a pay model like this for Monster Hunter or some future Persona title -- people would riot.
It’s like someone on the stand for murder saying “I’m so sorry that I did this... thing. it was unacceptable and I promise I’ll change from the thing that I did.” He could’ve been apologizing for stealing the damn toilet paper.

Joe, I'm actually embarrassed to admit this, but it's literally just dawned on me that I haven't played online on my PS4 for like 3 years and I STILL pay for ps+. I'm a dickhead and that's the end of it. Ps+ cancelled today.

the reason why i would always back expansions and good value dlc over microtransactions: + it adds additional gameplay, enlarging the overall game experience + having absolutely no negative impact to others even getting more quality content in the future + doesn't screw over the balance of the game and is completely OPTIONAL + customers feel a sense of value with their purchase even years later + a single game doesn't get overstuffed with content and doesn't give customers the feeling of catching up + social pressure has less effect with dlc than microtransactions skins and items like in fortnite + games with dlc as a business model has normally a cap not higher or less than 30/60 bucks microtransactions: - risk of impacting the game even further with grind tactics in future or current games if you buy some - looking good or getting rewarded with skins and other items is practically behind a paywall now - overstuffed ingame stores with skins and boosters - developers need to put in longer (crunch) hours on the same game under the name 'game as a service' because of microtransactions, causing burn outs. - less innovation in future games because they already make milions on the same gameplay loop because of microtransactions - complexity turns into simplicity in games so that publishers reach a wider audience meaning more cash - games as a service - corrupting gamers with the "it's necessary because games are to expensive" speech while ignoring that publishers still make more revenue selling dlc or the game itself. - workers not seeing a penny of this ridiculous wealth and publishers not paying a single penny of that microtransaction money in tax. - money goes to innovations in gambling mechanics, RPG mechanical tricks for children and adults to spend more money instead of going to new features and innovation. love or hate my opinion, even call me a millennial but i remember a time not so long ago when i bought my game. I got something bursting with creativity, innovation, value, quality over quantity with good dlc and at least a finished product with some less hard drive intensive patch updates. that for only 60 bucks or less with an OPTIONAL season pass of around 30 or 40 bucks. fight for good gaming people.
At least EA actually did something right for a change by publishing an actual good fun Star Wars game in 2019. Bethesda on the other hand published one flop after another flop such as Rage 2, Wolfenstein Young Blood (😵ugh🤢) and of course most especially Fallout'76!!!
Another great moment happened shortly after that too.. When Other Joe actually "played" that mini-game he managed to cheese it _perfectly._ He held the Joy-con _just right_ and then rotated in his chair multiple times 'till he got _over 3,000 degrees_ of rotation.

@@wingman6541 How about adressing bullying in school? a lot of the damage that drives teenagers going into killing sprees is resentment started by bullying. You could start by that.
Garrett Naugher I think saying that it's the video games is something of an easy out for the blame on that shooting when mass media in general like movies and music do the same. That way they can say they did something to address the issue (specifically that shooting) without looking much further. For what it's worth, I think cracking down on Games wouldn't be completely pointless, but it wouldn't do much to fix what's wrong with us, when we need to look into societal/work/mental problems that drive a lot of people to that point.
“We have to keep children away from violent video games!” Then blame the damn parents for not really caring if you honestly believe this crap. Listen to the employee mentioning the rating and why, MAYBE your ten year old shouldn’t play GTAV. But naaaahhhh you know everything, Karen.
It's the same song & dance since 92 I grew up playing Mortal Kombat, Doom, Wolfenstein and all those other violent games and I came out all right. And there has been an actual scientific and psychological study proving that video games don't cause violence
What I love about these end-of-year videos is Joe's passion for the industry, especially when he is talking about microtransactions/lootboxes. Plus in the midst of all the swearing, he's quite well-spoken as well, which I like, haha.
not like they were good developer/publisher to begin with, their games always ship with issues, only reason it got pass is that at lease story or game play were good, but personally people should of been saying things from day one, other companies get flak shipping buggy game, but not Bethesda? its same bullshit with Nintendo and Pokemon, stop letting this shit slide fuck
Bro what the fuck? This is disgusting. Do you realise that your cheering for countless people losing their jobs and most possibly their livelihood? Hate the end product but realise no artist purposely creates something to tank an entire movie. People worked hard. They worked LONG hours for this and then they were shut down. Their hard work was for nothing. Not a penny. This isn't a "hoorah" for a dying tyrant. The studio's artist aren't devils. They were regular people doing their damn jobs. Hate the fucking people who told them to serve shit.

I like that angry joe, jim sterling and dunkey sprinkle bits of each other’s videos in their own. It’s good to see a group of critics who actually have the balls to criticize bigger games and the industry as a whole without care of being blacklisted
Personally, I don't think it was that bad. I think it was just a quiet point in the industry because the current consoles were nearing their end, but not much for the next generation was ready yet.
Its pretty dope seeing Joe go on his local news station to inform people that videogames aren't to blame for violent behavior. I know it's obvious for those of us who are in the community, but a lot of people are more than happy to use videogames as a scapegoat and need to be educated on the topic.
as a psychology student I've actually looked into the video game violence thing and to my own surprise many studies have indeed found significant differences in studies comparing attitudes of aggression when individuals are exposed to video games, particularly those containing violence, hen compared to other forms of media.
@@Sasquatch0601 Yes and alcohol causes accidents and is not good for your body. Did the gov banned it? Nope. They regulate it and make sure young people can't access to it easily They should do the same for videogames
No they shouldn't. Video games are just on the list of common scapegoats along with Guns. Instead of looking at these fringe cases in depth and finding out what extraneous factors lead up to a individual choosing to do what they did, all the politicians want to choose the lazy way and scapegoat the fuck out of inanimate objects never just saying yeah this individual is crazy and these factors in his life lead up to him choosing to go nuts. Nope its Video games, or its guns, or its the medicine he was taking or some other bullshit. It gets old.
@oohanalligator you obviously have never handled firearms nor have any understanding of them.

@@Karrigsturn Ya, I've spent perhaps $100 on games in the last 3 years. So many excellent old games to play again, no reason to buy any of this new garbage.
I agree. That’s why I refuse to buy games directly from shameful developers. If I want a game from a bad studio I never buy it new, even if it’s on sale. I buy it from another person months and months after release. That way they never get my money, I get a discount, and all the shitty release day glitches and bugs are patched. Still waiting on Borderlands 3 and Doom Eternal. It will be awhile but worth the wait. Fuck Gearbox, and fuck Bethesda.
