No, considering this is a process that can take days or weeks, including happening in separate locations, livestreaming the process might not be as feasable.
I've never hated all your content, I've never loved all your content but I will never a attack a man has given me hundreds of hours of laughs in the past.
I know what you're trying to say but I disagree with your reasoning. You can't use being entertaining in the past to justify whatever actions you make moving forward. "but I will never a attack a man has given me hundreds of hours of laughs in the past." I *really* do not agree with this. Just think of Bill Cosby.
Yeah, too simplistic for me. Just like discarding all of mankind's knowledge for a bogus Space Clown Religion. Well yeah, Ignorance can be funny too but it's still Ignorance.
Hey Joe, as a former UA-cam editor, I fully understand and appreciate your hard work. What you do is no easy task; especially with game reviews. 1. Purchase the game (costs $) 2. Play the game under time restrictions (cannot be enjoyable) 3. Capture key footage 4. Plan a creative concept for the review 5. Purchase props and costumes 6. Record your review and skits 7. Edit the footage 8. Add special effects and sound bytes 9. Composite everything together 10. Publish and get the word out on the social media. All that while managing all your other content and personal life. After a while, it takes a toll on you and it will get tiring. I''m grateful for your time and content and truly hope that you have a wonderful break.
PPeiravi That doesn't sound like work to me. He makes as much money making one review video as I make in an entire year of ACTUAL WORK. 2 weeks of playing games, editing, cosplay and writing funny skits for thousands of $$$ sounds like a dream job to me.
djpiccalo100 What is your source of this absurdity, regarding him getting thousands of dollars. I think you might have misunderstood how the system on youtube works. And you don't seem to understand. All of this costs money, time, stress, probably sleep and requires effort. Sure it's fun to play a game. But that's just a small part of his job. Not only that but he probably have to rush through the games to get his video done in time. Which I would imagine ruins the experience
I believe this was in a time where he promised to do lots of reviews he made a new schedule showing what he was planning then boom, he could not do it. fans got angry at angry joe So what is the lesson, don't make promises you cant keep, if he had not made those statements fans would not have been angry.
Joe, you do you. . I'll be here, to enjoy what I enjoy. I enjoy the game reviews, game interviews, etc. and some of the other content. You are a hard worker, finish your vacation. Come back strong. I'll be here for the September game reviews!
Don't be be blind. Joe is cencoring people who are being reasonable. He is silencing the people who stood next to him for so long. On the other hand as a editor myself.... I can say what he does isnt hard just time consuming. He doesnt deserve everything thrown at him, but he didn't defuse the bomb when he had the chance. He put himself under a scheduel he didn't follow. It's mainly why his subs are angry. Not to mention the low effort content he was putting out I could honestly say that it could have been interfering with the A.R. even though it wouldn't take long to make. Everyone is mad that joe is working on things that aren't what he promises. Honestly I could care less about what joe puts out, but some of the hate joe is getting is warrented, and the people he his silencing mostly arent trolls.
Ghostly K Situations change and his original schedule wasn't working in practice. I believe that he will do the right thing here, he seems really stressed and probably simply got angry at some comments that opposed the response he made. Not that I think deleting comments is the correct course of action. Conversation is key.
I never comment on yt, but felt I had to for this. The channel is more rich for the new types of content you put out, AngryJoe. I really like the movie reviews, spoiler discussions, GoT reviews. But most importantly, I come to this channel for your personality, not any specific content. Content is always evolving and changing. It's you and the guys that are fun to watch, whatever you do. You are mostly funny, mostly!
I think Joes problem isn't content, its communication. He just doesn't have professional marketing or PR experience. I knew back when he made that scheduling video it was going to turn out like this.
For a man that is known for his outrageous yet hilarious angry rants, he is so calm and respectable to what sounds like a personal attack, so props to you joe and your continued dedication to us, your fans!
I'm 17 now and I've been subscribed to Angry Joe since before I can remember. I've always been the kind of viewer that comes in, watches a video, loves it, and moves on without commenting...and I'm sorry that I haven't commented. I love this channel. I have nostalgia for this channel. I wish I had gone into the comment section of every video and told everyone about how much Joe's content means to me and how many laughs I've had over the years because of it.... I just wanted to say...thanks Joe...for remembering what makes your channel so great and for standing by it always.
Your right, my whole family loves all of Joes content and we watch his movie reviews and spoiler talks as well as his angry reviews, we love Joe and it's sad to see him being so belittled by his own fans. Keep making the great and funny content Joe I stand by all of your videos and always love to see more!
I mean, I really like and want Angry Reviews. But I'm still subscribed, and generally I just don't click on the other stuff (unless it's a first impression or an interview for a game I'm interested in or something like that). I don't care for the other stuff, if views come in then there is an audience for it I suppose. Just do whatever you want to do Joe, I'll decide if I click on it.
That's the same as I've been. I genuinely dislike his movie content but I just ignore it. I admit I really hate that he doesn't do game reviews much but I just go elsewhere if I need to. But you gotta admit it's a little ridiculous when Joe has repeatedly LIED to his fans over and over promising since last year he would do two angry reviews per month minimum, and NEVER delivering on that promise; then takes a 2 month vacation without telling anyone, puts up a video letting us know he took 2 months off and that's why no content for the past 2 months, and in the same vid says he deserves another 2 month vacation?!?! That's 4 months, how much vacation does a youtuber need lol. Then when people simply say "dude, what happened to your promise man?" he throws a fit and deletes comments breaking ANOTHER promise where he publicly promised his fans he would NEVER EVER remove comments etc.. and now he's going even more overboard muting and deleting comments that criticize him in many cases (people on reddit are showing proof of dozens of comments being erased etc..) He went full Spoony/DarkSydePhil. Never go full Spoony/DSP...
Again, just to re-iterate. The only reason the vast majority of us are upset is that he LIED to us over and over again. If you can't or just don't want to do more reviews then don't promise us a dozen times over a years time that you will, ya know? It's that simple, if he'd just be HONEST with us and say "I'm having a rough time, don't have time for it; or "just don't feel like it right now" etc.. then i guarantee you "most" of the people complaining (at least the long time fans like me) would have no problem and would do just like you were mentioning, ignore the other stuff and click on an angry review when it pops up.
Same here. I don't really watch a lot of the movie reviews and stuff like that, but I won't actively attack or downvote anything that doesn't interest me.
Not gonna lie i subscribed to this channel only for the reviews, but when your new upload is not an angry review, guess what i do? nothing, not gonna give you a hard time because of this
in fact i got interested in the other content he does, tried seeing it once and liked it, i really cannot see the problem in what joe is doing, he deserves more than any of those fuckers that only complain and complain and complain.....
exactly... if it's a review for a movie or game I dont care about, I just don't fucking watch it and move on with my life... Wtf is wrong with those no lifers that feel the need to talk shit like wtf...
Merudius Decimus Some people are just so imhumane when treating people. They swear up and down that his videos can be produced in a matter of a couple of days when that simply isnt the case. They are selfish people who don't deserve Joe.
Hi Joe, I'm one of those as you said that don't really comment on videos. I must thank you for clarifying all of this. While i never hated you or was pissed with all this "less content" stuff but I did see the comments and I must say I was starting to really doubt you and your activity... I did not do any research on my own so as I said i was starting to doubt BUT now that you clarified all of this I must say thank you and I will keep supporting you! Keep going strong Joe !
Joe, it's ridiculous how much content you put out, and it sucks that people don't know how hard you work, they don't know the facts. Keep up your current work man, ignore the haters. You'll always have some hardcore fans.
Agreed. Joe could put Other Joe on making behind the scenes videos. That would A) allow Joe to work on his content and edits, B) Show the idiots how much work goes into a video, and C) be a good training project for Other Joe to learn editing (as I know he wants to improve his skills).
Doesn't seem like people realize that this career requires a drive to do it well. If you don't have that drive then the quality goes down and you lose interest. Quality or quantity is much more preferable to me. I don't want an AngryAngryReview for almost every game, only the games that are either really good or really bad. Also UA-cam videos are free to watch! It's free! It's takes a really greedy person to complain about free stuff. There is a difference between complaining and criticism. Most people just complain and don't realize how much effort it takes to make an AngryAngryReview, saying the creators don't deserve a break and must bend to their every will and demand. I'm more happy with the way the AngryJoeShow is heading, more reviews and videos :)
I only subscribed to watch your Angry game reviews. I think they are awesome. I will remain a subscriber and come back to watch your reviews even if you only did one per year. I sincerely mean that. I remember my first home computer (Commodore 16) way back in the 1980's, at the age of 11 sitting and waiting for games to load, i guess we all had more patience back then. People just need to chill out and stop with the hate. I got your back Joe :)
S'chn T'gai Spock yea, couldn't agree more! If he wants to do less angry reviews, then that's the end of it, but it's not that I will explode and tell him to do different. If it's one every x month, then that's it :) Sad that he has to justify this, but UA-cam has come to a difficult state... every UA-camr is having problems right now, in addition to the downfall of advertisements (and most likely the end of YT as a revenue source). I can understand his anger.
S'chn T'gai Spock i couldnt agree more, my first PC was a Compaq Presario with 1mb of ram. Remember 14400kbps dial up waiting just for a picture to load! With the speed at which information is available it is easy to forget how lucky we are to be at this point in technology. Love this channel's content and will continue to watch.
HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD! HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD! HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD! HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD! HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD! HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD! You a are the reason i started watching youtube. And you can tell you have passion in work. Take your time
*Honestly I resubbed just to see the aftermath tbh I understand why people are mad, but some took it too far. Its understandable why people are mad. They expected content every month, and they thought joe commited himself to this scheduel he made. It takes work, and time to make stuff like anything up to joe's quality: scripting, acting, retakes, filming, actually playing the games, deep assesment of the games, basic editing, key frames for effects (I can say from personal experience key frames are an absolute nightmare.), and etc. Knowing the behind the scenes it makes sense why joes joe's stressed. Joe made a mistake: ignoring his subscribers wants. We basically dictate the image of his channel. Not everyone saying these things were trolls. If a majority of people here want A.R.s then they're going to be cross when they don't get them. As sad as it is joe had it coming, saw it coming, and didn't defuse the bomb when he had the chance. Defusing the bomb being releasing a teaser or progress report on the angry review. Hell maybe even a new scheduel*
I don't care about the movie reviews. I definitely don't care for reaction videos. I also don't get mad when these are uploaded. I just don't watch them. Post whatever you want, and I'll watch whatever I want.
Flintstoned Same. 90% of his content nowadays hasn't really interested me, but I don't get pissy about it. I don't care. If he ever makes something I like, awesome. If not, I'll watch something else. Simple as that.
Yeah pretty much, I'll watch what I want to watch, theres other content I can watch on UA-cam if Joe doesnt upload what I like, he's not the only youtuber. He can post what he feels like posting.
I agree 100% I haven't watched much of Joe's content lately, however if I see something uploaded like an angry review or game play footage I wanna see, I get excited and tune in. In the meantime I watch the thousands upon thousand other things UA-cam has to offer until then. I agree, if there is something you don't want to watch. . . .don't watch it
Hi Joe, been watching for years (since the AC3 review I think was the first one) but never really commented much in that time. Just wanted to say I've always been a huge fan of hearing your perspectives on things, I'd never really been much of a fan of strategy games for instance (had just never really tried one) but your videos on them and how passionate you always were encouraged me to try them more and now they're one of my favourite genres so just wanted to say thank you for that. It's not just the games though but also movies and the other stuff(and the board games as well, didn't want to leave them out), I might not always agree with your opinions but my point is that you always have an interesting and different take on things and that's what I like about and why I look forward to your videos. I'm sorry about the vocal minority but I hope you're doing ok and I look forward to the next video, take care.
Today's mostly younger audience is just so spoiled they don't think about how hard it is to create interesting content and that doing the same thing over and over and yet still doing it in a fresh and interesting way is a super hard job. All they do is consume and demand. Don't let them fuck with your head, you guys are doing a great job, and you should do videos about anything you want as long as it keeps you satisfied with your work and helps building a creative spirit.
Naughty Avocado If only it were that simple. I get you're kidding though. Unfortunately, some people were born with a certain mutation that merges the pole shoved up their rear end with the butthole itself. This prevents them from taking shits so they have to talk shit so they don't have to clench for so long. They think complaining about it helps but it doesn't. Sometimes you gotta twist and pull out the pipe before it's ok again. I get it, it'll hurt and it always does, especially if you're a prideful person but it will get even better and stronger in the long run and you'll get even better reviews than before. Alas, good things take time and even the impatient scurriers of the internet must wait at the stop sign otherwise you or your message/intent will die and go unnoticed. Hang in there.
I understate this is an angry Joe fan thread of some sort so could you help me disprove these statements? 1.Joe is a liar a.k.a said he was going to do this but didn't do it -Said he was going to go by a schedule but didn't as soon as the year started with him not telling his fans that the schedule was canceled. -Said he was going to make quick reviews for games he couldn't get to(last year) but once again prematurely abandon that. -says he hasn't had a real vacation but constantly goes away on trips and I believe he did go on some sort of a vacation last year oh and he had one this year as well. 2. He's a hypocrite -Critic that can't take criticism:disabled ratings and comments and is apparently deleting comments with different opinions 3.hes gotten lazy -quantity of angry reviews dropped in the last 2 years(most severely) -quantity of unedited filler content has increased -quality has dropped here and there like with the short reviews. -he's also put on some weight (he had a neck)
It is your channel and if you feel you need a break, then go for it, Joe! But I would also recommend not promising a new schedule that you can't keep up with. It will make people feel (rightly or wrongly) they are being lied to. I enjoy some of the non-review content, but also saying that you are going on a break and then putting out GOT reviews a couple of days later may have also made people think you are losing your passion for the Angry reviews themselves ( I wasn't angry at all about you posting GOT reviews, but when I first saw it I was like "wait... isn't Joe on vacation?" XD). This is not me being brainwashed (I don't even read other comments on your videos). This is purely just a couple of things that came to mind while watching this. Hope you enjoy your break!
It's UA-cam and it's free content. If he says a schedule and for some reasons can't keep it that's up to him. If people have a problem with it then they have other problems to and need a shrink. Or a good beating
Angry reviews are the highlight of this channel and I personally don't watch your other content (most of the time) but I won't attack your channel sorry but I have a life and better things to do besides try to ruin your hard work keep up the good stuff and hang in their man.
I personally love your channel. I've watched your angry reviews, movie reviews, and other things like rants, interviews, etc. I am a true fan and understand how much work you put into your work. I support you, and wish you the best. Have a nice vacation, we will be here, don't worry about the haters. :)
Honestly, a good idea would be a video explaining how a Angry Review is made. Maybe people would then see how much effort it takes. Recording "behind the scenes", like how James Rolfe (Cinemassacre) did with his AVGN episodes.
Reaction and Reviews are my favorite part of this channel. But Ill never be negative to you in a harsh way. Though I may criticize you at times. (Not sure if I have ever done it, always kept it to myself.) This is your channel, and I feel bad when I see people personally attack you or your channel. Note that most of your audience is mad due to a small portion of your viewers spreading lies saying that your channel is dying in content, which is what you pointed out.
Long time follower, since your channel awesome work, I've loved your early peeks at game play, your reviews of games AND your movie reviews. Keep up your good work and have a great rest of your vacation.
I'm here for your personality, not the content, so I'm happy. I've been here since god knows when, probably around 2010 I subbed and let me say I'm happy you've started doing movie reviews and trailer reactions because it's something I'm interested in. Also, you have some of the best dev interviews I've ever seen.
Joe ... I follow your work from November 2012. I apologize for the bad English, but, nevertheless, greetings to you from the far Russian city of Vladivostok. Your reviews every year become more difficult, more qualitative. People want entertainment, but you have your own life. No matter how they told us otherwise. We are with you. You deserve some rest. We will wait.
Vladivostok? Damn. Closest I got to Kamchatka was St. Petersburg (Petrograd) when I went on leave. dasvidania! (До свидания!) Best wishes from across the Bering Strait! :P
@Scarface This video is literally all about how people are taking their hate way too far in the comment section; do you think he's going to let them virtue signal for their bullshit cause? They're entitled little twats and Joe just needs to tell them to go fuck themselves so they go back to drooling over Jake Paul's shit vines or whatever mentally disturbed children like.
@AngryJoeShow.... I have followed your channel for a long time and have watched several videos over the years. As a fellow aspiring UA-camr, I totally recognise the pain-staking work that goes behind your videos... creating short skits with costumes, gathering game footage and stitching audio/video production elements into the final upload along with your review comments. All this takes time and effort, balancing your channel production with personal life.. and fans should be aware, responsible & supportive. You've got my full support! Continue doing what you do and I'm keen to see you diversify with more review types (Angry game reviews are still on top!). Best wishes to you.. and the OtherJoe too!
I can't believe people are losing their minds of over this! Joe, I have been subscribed to you since your days at Channel Awesome and that's not gonna change anytime soon. I said it in your previous video and I will say it again here: I can patient, take a vacation if you need one, and I will still be here when you get back. That also goes for other joe as well cause he helps the show equally with you.
It's funny how people will say get a "real" job, but then hold youtubers to higher standards than people in "real" jobs. Remember how content creators are paid, mainly for producing content. If they stop putting content out they receive much less money. People who work in "real" jobs get paid vacation time. In Canada you get 2 weeks paid vacation every year. You get 3 weeks paid, every year, after 5 years of continued employment. People in unions or good positions get over a month paid vacation every year! For goodness sake the people in the comments need to cool it. If you like Joe's content surely you don't want him burning out. Are you really so impatient that you cannot wait a month or two for free content?
I also really only watch the game Reviews, and I don't mind that he puts out other videos. But, the ratio, combined with a fickle schedule, is a little frustrating. All his other videos feel like spam in my subscription feed. Nostalgia Critic does puts up videos I don't watch, but come Tuesday, his regular video is up. I don't watch Bennet the Sage's wrestling or movie vlogs, but on Monday his Anime Abandon is there like clockwork. Granted, video games are bigger and harder to schedule around. But Joe really isn't keeping up. It's also frustrating to hear about him spending g time and effort on a game review, then dumping it because it's no longer timely. I'd rather watch a review a month late than to know he threw a couple week's of effort out the window. That's time not spent on another review. I'd be happy with a review every 2 weeks. I don't care about the skits or jokes, I want to hear the in depth analysis. Joe is good at breaking down what works and what doesn't and weighing flaws against the fun factor. And it does feel like he's shifting away from scripted reviews to being a Twitch streamer. Which is fine if that's what he wants to do, but don't expect to retain your UA-cam audience that way. Just be up front with it, take the subscriber hit, and move on. There's no point in trying to make everyone happy, changes to your channel have consequences.
I appreciate the work you put into your videos. I watch 95% of them and I always look forward to your reviews..You've earned a vacation several times over. Joe, keep doing what you do best.
Joe, if you need to take a break from game reviews, do it. I really enjoy your other content, and I prefer that you do more than just game reviews, because I just like your personality. And if they want more game reviews, you would need more people to make help you make them, which would lose some of that original Angry Joe cheesiness, which they would complain about. If I wanted game reviews the second a game comes out, I would subscribe to IGN or some other GAME REVIEW channel. On a side note, I would love to see a Horizon Zero Dawn review with Joe in an Aloy costume. That would be hilarious.
I'm not going to kiss your ass or be a groupie. My honest take is that your brand has expanded, not derailed. You owe me nothing, but I enjoy your videos--even the cringy moments. You are a talented, charming guy. I have unsubbed from others who get too distracted by their personas. I may not always agree with you, but I trust you are being honest and beibg youraelf, among friends. Keep up the good work, in the way that works for you. You're an "angry" reviewer, and some fans feel like they are following your example by being angry for no reason...screw their ignorance.
@@DrMonty-yr1kc Well, they are a wildly successful company. Are you are of exactly how much money they make from FIFA compared to the rest of their games? Hint: It's a lot.
I been f**king with Angry Joe from way back when channel awesome was called that guy with the glasses. As a fan I can honestly say I've never disappointed with his content or the lack of.
How do you know you salty cause you can't make good videos like Joe? He has been making videos for nine years and I bet you have not come close to the respect and love he gives to his community so yes, he does represent the vast majority.
AJ has helped me on many occasions saved $70 on mediocre games and $20 on mediocre movies, and the biggest service I did for him was take 3 seconds to click the sub button. Must be real hard for many people.
I personally like to watch all your content because your just a great person to watch and listen to. Every time you upload a video I watch it and I really don't care what it is. When you uploaded the video about your vacation I was like "ok I got other channels to watch" and I respected your decision to take a vacation. Also when you uploaded that GoT review I flipped shit because I LOVE GoT. Don't listen to the haters Joe.
Zach Palencar While there are mamy unnecessary comments here, I wouldn't lable all the criticism as "hate" and just call people haters. That's ridiculous.
thank you for being a sensible person in the comment section. (edit) I've done reviews like Joe (though mine are really shitty and bad) and I can tell you how hard it is to try and be funny and have good content. Now I stopped making those review videos and put one out way back for RE7. I felt good making it but it was time consuming and hard. People assume that those game reviews are as easy as movie reviews but they aren't. Anyways have a nice day man...PS I may get back into doing reviews but so far its been lets plays
I agree 100% and I think its sad that he had to make a video about it and that the negative comments got more popular than the positive comments like this one and that true fans like us, barely get noticed anymore
Zach Palencar I agree. Watch his GoT reviews because I don't want to pay for HBO. WATCHING THEM fills me in on whats happenin on GoT. I absolutely love watching your reviews no matter what it is.
Vlog style content on "the making of" each episode of angry reviews would be a new type of content that can be released after each angry review. That might hold people over until the next angry review if they can watch you making the last one. I like your videos Joe, most of them anyway. :)
See? This is how you make constructive criticism, if that's even what it is, suggesting and trying to contribute some ideas. I remember that James Rolfe made a "making of" video -WITH a review included!- on AVGN, and not only was it lots of fun, but actually pretty informative! True, it's a different beast altogether because he's actually playing in "real time" as he speaks, and that's an entirely different method, but it'd be cool to get a glimpse of the creative process for his Angry Reviews. (He uses tons of editing and chroma effects, so it'd even be fun and pretty educational for amateur video makers)
Or, a better idea would be not putting sub-par content on the Angry Joe *Show* channel. Other popular UA-camrs have second channels for things like "making of," vlogs, and streams. I suspect the only reason Joe doesn't do that is because instead of having his current subscribers migrate, he could just spam us and hope his current subscriber base will click on.
I support you man, ain't no problems from my end. Your video production is amazing on your angry reviews, I look forward to nearly every one. Keep up the hard angry work.
Create whatever you want. I personally enjoy all it. Your opinion is valued a lot by me. We are currently in a game drought so the game reviews shouldn't be as prominent.
JR Hill of course it is good to have different content. One problem - he is too lazy. Look at other movie/series reviewers. Or look at other crap reviewers. If he don't want to review games right now I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, but if he still put out content he must make an effort in it.
JR Hill yes variety is good but not when you completely change your content from what it was before. If Cartoon Network stopped airing cartoons and started airing live action shows( which is what they did and it flopped) then you can't call it Cartoon Network anymore and the people who started watching for the cartoons will leave
Always loved watching your amazing content Joe ever since the Ride to hell angry review. Ignore the haters and I don’t mind whenever you release angry review, I will still be a subscriber and watch that content any day in my life. Keep up good work Joe!👍
You are great Joe, you take so much time and effort for all of your content and I know I personally love seeing your channel become more personality based. Much love.
his fat fuck ass should go move to Berkeley , i'm sure you would fit right in with all those pussified liberals ,., they hate the freedom of speech as well :)
I don't care about most of your other content other than game reviews and previews and I rarely watch it, but still - this was one of the best and more importantly the most honest (and humble) videos you've ever put out, Joe. Hat's off to you, sir. Too bad I can only like it once.
Everyone deserves a break Joe, haters and trolls are on every channel. True fans of your work will stick by you and others will come and go. Do what makes you happy 👍
youtube has turned into such a volatile community (for the most part), and its sickening. Keep up the good work Joe, I've been around your content for awhile, and I'll continue to do so.
You know what Joe?! Even though I would always love more Angry Reviews, this is YOUR CHANNEL. You should do whatever makes you happy. You can try to do content that we like, but in the end you will burn out if you don't enjoy what you're doing. I don't think that the problem is people don't like you, they just want more of what made you great.
Joe I feel for you; stop reading these comments and do what you want to do. Put out the content that you want like you did in the beginning. Don't try to please haters when the REAL fans are enjoying all the content you put out.
The problem with this is some UA-camrs DO enjoy reading the comments, so when they get situations like these, it can have an effect on them because they then have to scour through page after page of crap just to find actual feedback.
Same here. Just some people like reviews more than his other content which I understand, but they make threats and hate comments and it's ruining the community.
I'll be honest. I'm only here for the Angry Reviews as well When there's not an Angry Review I don't get mad I just smoke a bowl and play some Killing Floor 2.
themrnails Same here man. Seriously if you don't like his other stuff you aren't forced to watch it. Between Netflix, Hulu, and UA-cam I always have something to watch. This is the golden age of home entertainment watch other shit in between angry reviews. You sound cool as fuck wanna be friends lol?
Joe I love all of your content regardless if it's an angry review, sometimes I even prefer the movie reviews and let's plays. Keep up the good work man and you do you.
Dude you are one of my first UA-cam channel ever watched. While I don't always agree with you I am very much a fan, take a break, recharge, regroup and enjoy your vacation. Can't wait to see your future reviews and rants
Joe I think you stick to your guns and put out content that you are passionate about!!! Stay true to yourself! You will never be able to please everyone.
I don't know how much you earn, and frankly I don't care. Everyone deserves a break and a chance to spend time with family. I choose which reviews are interesting and watch them, and the ones I'm less interested in I simply don't watch. Keep doing what you do and your 2.8 million subscribers will largely be on your side. Eventually everything ends, so enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts. A philosophy which works for so many occasions :)
last I heard youtube pays about $100 per every 100,000 views. all his game reviews earn him over $1,000 for 60-80 hours work. I bring home $1,600 a month in a factory making $14 per hour 40 hours a week 4 weeks a month. I don't know about you but earning that kind of money with just game reviews would be pretty nice. plus the hundreds his other content pads in.
Joe, I've had more time to really think about this. Now that I've gone back and really looked at your past vids, you need to realize something. You are our voice, sir. You try to keep micro transactions from becoming commonplace. You speak for those that don't have a voice in the gaming community. You keep shitty devs in check. You have all the right in the world to take a break, sir. However, when it's important, your angry reviews reach more ears than anything else. Perhaps people have a difficult time explaining that to you. Perhaps they're asshats. That's all true when it comes to the trolls. However, we all come here (at least your more intelligent audience) to make sure our voice is being heard. You are our voice, Joe. You decided to make a living out of this. Should you decide it's not worth the effort, say so. I get that everyone needs a break Mr. Vargas. But 99% of your people want their voices heard and you are, by far, the best at making that happen. Enjoy your vacation Jose. I expect a complete AJ meltdown soon in regards to the new Mordor game. Thank you.
Joe did some pundit video here and there in the past, but that's long dead now. He barely mentions anything anymore, unless it's in a review. He turned into a pure entertainer, instead of being another voice along with Jim Sterling and TotalBiscuit. He might have been our voice, at some point, but he's not anymore. The companies don't care about him anymore, what he says goes over their head. The sooner you accept that Joe is not a pundit, is not our voice, is not a critic, the lesser the fall will be. He's just an entertainer who happens to make video game reviews from time to time, and little else.
DP Reinwald how you know he works like a dog? He is in his house all day he makes his reviews on his house he makes a review once a month how the fuck that's working like a dog
Hey Joe, I never comment on your videos and the majority of us appreciate the work you have dedicated to this channel and the community. A lot of us support you and your decision and the true fans will always persevere with you in the journey. We all care about your well being and you do you. Thank you Joe.
A true fan can not support shitty contents being made by our favorite Angry Joe. Any true video game lover would play hours of PUBG now, but no video on such game from Angry Joe. What can we see on his channel? All these worthless "review"... A true fan must show the mistake, rather than accepting everything blindly.
I subbed for your honest and unbiased opinion, I do enjoy the angry review format but even if it was just you, a camera and your honest reviews of the games I'd still be around.
Bunch of children who don't understand how being an adult with loads of responsibilities is like. Life isn't just UA-cam people, we all have other things to do... Your channel is great Joe, enjoy your vacation!
MarkLion Z I would agree with the responsibility of running a show is an adult "thing" to do and children wouldn't understand. However, I disagree with your implications that just because a lot of people voicing a negative opinion, that makes them children. As a "consumer" you have every right to voice an opinion on that product. Sure, there is a small percentage of people who are just griefing. However, that doesn't mean a negative opinion should be completely ignore because of the small percentage of them are trolls. That's just a bad way of handling the situation.
MarkLion Z listen...you say he has 2mill subscribers. I'd say about a mil only time in for the reviews and some are just old who hit the button and tuned out along time ago. You fan boys and Joe are making it worse by calling grown men kids as an excuse
"When you play the game of Joes, you either lose or- you're not even listening, are you? Ned Stark, you're not even listening, you're just trolling youtube comments!"
I just wanted to say (and this is perhaps my first and last comment on your videos) these things: You are totally right about the MAJORITY of people watching your videos- we watch, we say "Oh that's really cool" and we move on. Yes, exactly what happens. And also, your videos are amazing, really. I have never even seen any other content other than the angry (or other) game reviews, but they are my main source of finding games to play for me and even just entertainment. Don't get discouraged!!! I think you're doing really great. I mostly like the honesty part, which,I think, is the core and center of your channel. :)
At the end of the day it's your show. I enjoy all your content. The people putting negative comments are the minority. The minority is usually the loudest. Keep being awesome Joe.
Ncusa17 Most people aren't fucking insane and understand him taking a break, those people just watch the video of him saying "No reviews till September" and say "ok cool" and move on. The 10 thousandish people that are mad spam comments and dislikes. Aaaaaaaannnnd just in case math is hard for you 10 thousand out of 2.8 million is a minority 😙
+Bdjckm Dncnfbe And then they're the people disappointed about broken promises and failing to keep up with an upload-plan. I personally can live with no angry reviews 'til september, there are enough video game reviewers out there, but I can easily understand people being pissed.
Dude as an old retired Army guy I love your Angry Game reviews and even check out your movie reviews before going to see a movie. Keep doing what you do, the envious trolls are always going to hate no matter what you do!
As a fan from 2009, I can tell you with all honesty that I think you're going in the wrong direction, this is not 'Telling you what to do if if you don't do it I'll Unsub', this is a criticism that perhaps others might share as well. I always liked your passion for games and Angry Reviews, I think this is what makes you an unique, honest game reviewer. What I personally don't like are your movie reviews, TV show reviews, and reaction videos - this is the field where I think you're weak at, it's always great to hear your thoughts about the things you like, but you make those videos WAY too long. While it's less work than video games reviews, it's still time that you could use to rest, plan your schedule, work on other stuff or think of new directions of content about gaming in general. This is not a call to stop doing anything that is not gaming, this is an offer to put more effort in what you're best at. The thing that bothered me for a long time is that on one hand - You don't have time to review games or keep up, and on the other hand - You have time to do up to 50 Minutes long TV / Movie reviews and reactions (which is the worst content to EVERY channel), so why not to plan your work to be more efficient? Here is what I suggest: Make movie and TV reviews shorter (10-15 minutes), either ditch reactions or reduce their time, give yourself some time to breath instead of burning yourself out, maybe try to focus more on INDIE games? maybe even Board games? if you're taking a break for two months please think about these suggestions and try to plan and think about other options that can help your channel.
I agree. In my opinion i think the content he uploads is probably his way of adapting to the changes (and rather frequent ones at that) that youtube makes to how videos get advertised and how much money he would make from said videos. He even makes that statement that nobody likes to hear but we all understand: "I gotta pay the bills". I'm sure if he had a consistent pay flow like your typical full time job regardless of how much he uploads then he'd probably use more of his time doing game reviews (or not I don't know how he thinks).
I am no expert in video making, but the movie reviews do not seem to be hard work, They come from the cinema, sit in front of the camera and talk about the movie. Maybe you have to convert the file and upload it. So even if they are 50 minutes, they can not effect the show negatively by taking time.
Ah I didn't mean that at all lol i'm sorry if it sounded like that. What i meant to say I understand where Joe is coming from and I support it but I also agree with the original comment Pieminator made if that makes any sense. Film making and Video editing take time especially if you have a do or die passion for it so I see nothing wrong with making some less workload heavy content to keep the lights on while he takes his time on the content that truly need the time to grow and become what we as fans know and love.
I think what irritates people is when videos keep coming out promising more content, or a schedule, and then it doesn’t materialize. Here are some videos over the past few years along with some things said: --Sep 7, 2015 - Angry Joe Show expands. Other Joe and Del brought on fulltime. Promise of a ‘whole lot more reviews’ with the added help --April 15, 2016 - AJS update. Acknowledges schedule behind, more content coming soon. --June 6, 2016 - Update. Reviews behind, props took longer than expected to deliver. More content coming, may skip E3 in the future to do more reviews. “I hear you guys, real life just got in the way for a while”. New schedule, maybe a review every 2 weeks. --Sep 2, 2016 - Reviews and eye surgery. Push back reviews for a few weeks, recovering from eye surgery. --Dec 15, 2016 - We address your youtube comments. I broke down and took a vacation. 2017 plans - start the new schedule (get back on track and more reviews). --July 14, 2017 - Our two month vacation. Took it easy in July but need a further vacation. --July 26, 2017 - We only want angry reviews. Current video - can’t only do angry reviews, also need to pick low hanging fruit with movies/lets play/etc. I have zero problems with non-review content; I just watch what I want. I also don’t have a problem with the number of reviews - do what you can. Just be honest with the audience. When it appears from your videos that you continually promise something then fail to deliver, it’s going to rile people up. Much like when a developers explain why a game has multiple delays before release - the reasons are probably legitimate but it still pisses everyone off, and each delay or excuse only further irritates the fan base.
I definitely agree with what you say. At the same time, I do feel that there is also at least a bit of responsibility on the fans to be patient as well, as long as the reasons for delays are legitimate. I understand that fans want something as soon as possible, but that is also part of the reason (besides corporate developers) that games these days tend to end up with rushed releases and appear to be in "unfinished" states sometimes and thus forcing the fans to wait and wade through usually multiple patch updates before the game's initial problems are fixed and the game can finally play as if it's truly "finished"; all the while the fans complaints get even louder and worse *because* of the various problems the game has. Personally, as long as the reasons are truly legitimate, I don't mind if stuff gets delayed. It might be annoying due to anticipation for the release, but I'd rather wait just a little while longer and (hopefully) get a better product for it rather than get it exactly when it's initially said to come out, only to have to deal with bugs, glitches, and other problems. *Looks at AC: Unity, which is actually decent to play now, but only after months and months of patches* Like, I remember back when Bioshock Infinite got delayed a couple times because the developers weren't yet confident that they ironed out most of the bugs in the system and wanted to make sure it got released with as much good quality as possible (and the hype for it was *huge* ). As a result, the game did indeed release with very few, if any problems at all in terms of bugs, glitches, game play issues, and so on, and very few patch updates came out for it.
We're on the same side in this - I don't care when/how much content Joe puts out and I wouldn't want him to rush anything. I'm just commenting that based on human (gamer) behavior, people tend to get angry when their presumptions aren't met. It's not always logical or reasonable, but part of the goal of a content creator is to set expectations. And based on the videos I listed above, I think Joe made the mistake of setting the expectations too high, repeatedly. On the flip side is TotalBiscuit, another youtuber I watch. His content slowed down because of cancer treatment, but even if he was healthy it wouldn't be a big deal, because he never makes statements about what he will deliver and when. I think if Joe started a year or two ago with the video stating "the way we work is fluid and we don't have a set schedule, content may slow down but we want to work in a way that makes us happy" we'd be in a different place right now.
I'd love to see only game reviews. However, I like that your expanding and growing. I can wait for game reviews, I have patience. So long as you never forget that we got you to where you are today, and that our support is what did it, I'll back you in anything you decide to do.
I'm not sure why everyone is so angry. Not only did he provide the statistics for his review frequency but at it's core people's are angry at a content creator for diversifying content. You are watching him for free, and if he suddenly wants to change then he has every right to. Joe isn't a slave for his viewers. He seemed very reasonable, besides the disabled comments.
I donated 300 USD to help him create more and better gaming content. I didn't expect him to use it to sit on his ass and watch movies then sit on his ass again with friends to do a group talk. And I'm not the only one who donates to him for gaming content. But I guess everyone is ok being played esp those that do watch for free.
+Trevis Phan Your dumbass wasted $300!?! Ridiculous only a fucking buffoon would waste that kind of money on donations to a UA-cam channel! Extremely ridiculous! You got money to waste boy just buy the games.
+Trevis Phan Donating to Joe does not give you a right to tell him what videos he will do. It's a very nice thing of o you to do, but again, you giving him $300 does not give you special rights.
@Trevis Phan You voluntarily donated 300$ to him, he didn't force your hands to give him that sum of money mate. And wat da fuck why would you donate 300$ to a youtube channel unless they seriously need it?
Those who insult and derail someone because they don't make the content they enjoy whenever they want are selfish, spoiled, degenerates. I love ALL your content, whatever it is, so keep up the good work Joe.
Can someone please tell me why seeing some videos you're not necessarily interested in in your sub feed is so anger inducing to some people? I've subbed to AJ for a long time and have never watched every video he uploads, but I'm subbed for the ones I do to show support for a content creator I enjoy. I do this with all the UA-camrs I am subscribed to. If a video you don't want to watch shows up in your sub feed, it's simple, just don't watch and move on. In fact it takes more effort to complain and unsubscribe. Just watch something else. There is so much content on UA-cam. If you're not spending a penny, I don't get how you can be that upset. Not every video has to be catered to your specific interests. And if you donate and don't like the content now, you're free to not donate.
Imedias Rez god forbid if people USE features that are part of a website. If a large portion of your viewerbase votes one way, it's YOUR JOB to appease them. People don't owe them shit. Fuck him for crying poor.
Imedias Rez It's because he increased the amount of non-Angry Game Review content as his subscriber counter increased, but as he has proven he is releasing them roughly the same amount of time as he has previous years.
Who the fuck cares? Besides Joe, obviously, beta kiddos in the comment section writing paragraphs *whining* about the people *whining* about Joe don't help anything; in fact, it actually makes the problem worse and more annoying. Shut the fuck up, unbunch your tighty whities outta your ass, and support Joe the best way you can: watch his content, sub and like his vids (if said vids *deserve* a like in your personal opinion that is), enjoy the channel, and don't post bitchy, Beta Edgelord esque paragraphs in his comment section, as the people who do that shit (prime example, your giant whinefest of an essay up above) don't help the situation in the slightest, and actually make the problem larger and worse, and 99% of the time are actually way, WAY more whiny, bitchy and annoying than the people bitching/hating on Joe due to the current circumstances going on. Check ya self kid. #fuckwithmeyagetbodied P.S. - Oh yeah, before any betas chime in and say "Hurr Durr you just posted the same type of whiny comment you said not to post, durrrrrrr!!1!!1!1", no, no lol, factually incorrect. My post was not whiny, I was not bitching about anything at all, etc. On the contrary, I was making *factual observations and statements* on the current situation and the beta cucks making it worse. Again, fuck with me you'll bodied. Factually.
Wow these comments are really terrible. Yes, I'm here mainly for the Angry Game Reviews. All the other content you put out is bonus/extra content as far as I'm concerned, and that's not a bad thing. If you put out a movie review or a trailer reaction video about something I'm not interested in, it doesn't ruin my day, I just don't watch it and get on with my day.
This^ I totally agree with you, I don't really care about any other content, but I don't really mind them. As long as we get a decent amount of angry reviews.
TheLastKeyblade 1. I love your name. KINGDOM HEARTS 3 is coming 2. The problem people have is that we are not getting a decent amount of game reviews when there are a surplus of games out
It takes the emotional maturity of a 6 year old to realise and accept the obviousness of what you just said SJ991. So glad I'm at about 7 years most days! :) Joe: just do what you do & thanks for all your passion and hard work mate. Some of us got onto noobtoob back in the day & still support it to this day because of you. Love your work, just try & let the haters go self-pleasure themselves elsewhere. Clearly some people can't fathom the 'you can't beat free' concept here, so just let them disappear as quickly as possible back into their pathetic, meaningless little lives. And as always, going back to the early days of UseNet - do...not...feed...da...trolls. ;)
I am part of the 'silent majority' and just as stated, watch videos then move on. However much as I love Joe's Angry Reviews, I would never have gone out and watched Colossal without his review and do appreciate the extra content, I just do not consume all the extra content. In short I am quite happy to be silent and wait; also many people are very self entitled and need to think about other perspectives to fully appreciate their own and balance their voiced comments with moderation instead of being callous.
I don't think I've ever left a comment on a Joe's video before, I've watched enjoyed but never commented. Well that changes today .........I agree with CromezFIN, Joe's makes free video's it's your choice to watch them or not, no one is holding a gun to your head. It's obvious he takes time and is passionate about his content.If you disagree with his message you can diagree without attacking or raging about it. From me, I like your videos I enjoy the content, I for one look forward to watching you and your team doing whatever, keep up the good work
Joe, I've been a watcher of your work for a long time now, and the reason why is that you don't BS. You tell it straight, whether its a game review or a movie review. Even when you dress it up in skits and comedy bits, the bottom line is that you say the good and the bad about the product and you do it clearly. Where other reviews dance around the quality of the product, you cut straight to the heart of the matter. That's why I keep coming back. And as long as that aspect stays, no matter what goes up on the channel, I'll keep coming back. Do what you got to do, man.
I have an idea for you Joe, if you can find it in this pool of comment which you probably won't. When you create a new Angry Review record a production diary throughout which illustrates all the time and effort that goes into it. In the end, people will get to see the massive amount of time and effort you put into each video which will hopefully give them an appreciation for when one does come out and for how long they take and the production value they each contain. I subbed for Angry Reviews because I was liked minded with what you were saying in each and every review, and still am. I don't watch your movie or show reviews because I only ever play games and don't take an interest in movies and shows, this is okay vise versa. People are complaining and even attacking you about the free content that they're getting not being enough. Hopefully if you are one of those people you can see how fucking dumb that is. You have the internet, go do something else. No one owns you anything but a kick in the teeth.
Actually, I would be interested in a behind the scenes video on the making of an Angry Review. Consider this my vote for that content.
Brian Aguilera Yes to that! I'd like to see Joe's process for a review from start to finish.
This would be a great idea. It would give people perspective on what he does. Perspective is important.
I second this.
That or maybe live streaming the actual process. The entire thing, boring parts and all.
No, considering this is a process that can take days or weeks, including happening in separate locations, livestreaming the process might not be as feasable.
I've never hated all your content, I've never loved all your content but I will never a attack a man has given me hundreds of hours of laughs in the past.
YesterYear Dude I agree
I know what you're trying to say but I disagree with your reasoning. You can't use being entertaining in the past to justify whatever actions you make moving forward.
"but I will never a attack a man has given me hundreds of hours of laughs in the past." I *really* do not agree with this. Just think of Bill Cosby.
Yeah, too simplistic for me. Just like discarding all of mankind's knowledge for a bogus Space Clown Religion. Well yeah, Ignorance can be funny too but it's still Ignorance.
so you are considering a break of a couple of months terrible as sexual harrasment. Interesting...
agreed. If he wants to take a bit of a break and needs some down time so be it that isn't a reason to attack him.
Hey Joe, as a former UA-cam editor, I fully understand and appreciate your hard work. What you do is no easy task; especially with game reviews.
1. Purchase the game (costs $)
2. Play the game under time restrictions (cannot be enjoyable)
3. Capture key footage
4. Plan a creative concept for the review
5. Purchase props and costumes
6. Record your review and skits
7. Edit the footage
8. Add special effects and sound bytes
9. Composite everything together
10. Publish and get the word out on the social media.
All that while managing all your other content and personal life. After a while, it takes a toll on you and it will get tiring.
I''m grateful for your time and content and truly hope that you have a wonderful break.
PPeiravi That doesn't sound like work to me. He makes as much money making one review video as I make in an entire year of ACTUAL WORK.
2 weeks of playing games, editing, cosplay and writing funny skits for thousands of $$$ sounds like a dream job to me.
djpiccalo100 he doesn't make thousands of dollars off of one video lmao
djpiccalo100
Then do it. Stop bitching and do your "dream job."
djpiccalo100 you're stupid
djpiccalo100 What is your source of this absurdity, regarding him getting thousands of dollars. I think you might have misunderstood how the system on youtube works. And you don't seem to understand. All of this costs money, time, stress, probably sleep and requires effort. Sure it's fun to play a game. But that's just a small part of his job. Not only that but he probably have to rush through the games to get his video done in time. Which I would imagine ruins the experience
The people who were demanding more and more in less time don't understand that's exactly what kind of attitude drives EA.
or they DID understand but they were assholes.
I believe this was in a time where he promised to do lots of reviews he made a new schedule showing what he was planning then boom, he could not do it. fans got angry at angry joe
So what is the lesson, don't make promises you cant keep, if he had not made those statements fans would not have been angry.
Joe, you do you. . I'll be here, to enjoy what I enjoy. I enjoy the game reviews, game interviews, etc. and some of the other content. You are a hard worker, finish your vacation. Come back strong. I'll be here for the September game reviews!
If he gets more consistent after this break I will be very happy
I agree. I enjoy the content when he's able to make it. This isn't a weekly sitcom
You should film a behind the scenes for angry reviews to show all of us and the haters what goes into it. Love your content!
Brendan4848 That could be fun. Nostalgia Critics does something like that with his reviews too.
Don't be be blind. Joe is cencoring people who are being reasonable. He is silencing the people who stood next to him for so long. On the other hand as a editor myself.... I can say what he does isnt hard just time consuming. He doesnt deserve everything thrown at him, but he didn't defuse the bomb when he had the chance. He put himself under a scheduel he didn't follow. It's mainly why his subs are angry. Not to mention the low effort content he was putting out I could honestly say that it could have been interfering with the A.R. even though it wouldn't take long to make. Everyone is mad that joe is working on things that aren't what he promises. Honestly I could care less about what joe puts out, but some of the hate joe is getting is warrented, and the people he his silencing mostly arent trolls.
the reason he doesn't is cause its actually easy
#dabonemhaters
Ghostly K Situations change and his original schedule wasn't working in practice. I believe that he will do the right thing here, he seems really stressed and probably simply got angry at some comments that opposed the response he made. Not that I think deleting comments is the correct course of action. Conversation is key.
I never comment on yt, but felt I had to for this. The channel is more rich for the new types of content you put out, AngryJoe. I really like the movie reviews, spoiler discussions, GoT reviews. But most importantly, I come to this channel for your personality, not any specific content. Content is always evolving and changing. It's you and the guys that are fun to watch, whatever you do. You are mostly funny, mostly!
I think Joes problem isn't content, its communication. He just doesn't have professional marketing or PR experience. I knew back when he made that scheduling video it was going to turn out like this.
For a man that is known for his outrageous yet hilarious angry rants, he is so calm and respectable to what sounds like a personal attack, so props to you joe and your continued dedication to us, your fans!
I'm 17 now and I've been subscribed to Angry Joe since before I can remember. I've always been the kind of viewer that comes in, watches a video, loves it, and moves on without commenting...and I'm sorry that I haven't commented. I love this channel. I have nostalgia for this channel. I wish I had gone into the comment section of every video and told everyone about how much Joe's content means to me and how many laughs I've had over the years because of it....
I just wanted to say...thanks Joe...for remembering what makes your channel so great and for standing by it always.
Same.
same keep doing you jow most of us understand, we love your content and part of that comes from the fact that you love it yourself
Sonar101 dab on the haters son!
I want angry reviews, but I'm fine with this as long as there's reviews for the big fall games
Your right, my whole family loves all of Joes content and we watch his movie reviews and spoiler talks as well as his angry reviews, we love Joe and it's sad to see him being so belittled by his own fans. Keep making the great and funny content Joe I stand by all of your videos and always love to see more!
I mean, I really like and want Angry Reviews. But I'm still subscribed, and generally I just don't click on the other stuff (unless it's a first impression or an interview for a game I'm interested in or something like that). I don't care for the other stuff, if views come in then there is an audience for it I suppose. Just do whatever you want to do Joe, I'll decide if I click on it.
That's the same as I've been. I genuinely dislike his movie content but I just ignore it. I admit I really hate that he doesn't do game reviews much but I just go elsewhere if I need to. But you gotta admit it's a little ridiculous when Joe has repeatedly LIED to his fans over and over promising since last year he would do two angry reviews per month minimum, and NEVER delivering on that promise; then takes a 2 month vacation without telling anyone, puts up a video letting us know he took 2 months off and that's why no content for the past 2 months, and in the same vid says he deserves another 2 month vacation?!?! That's 4 months, how much vacation does a youtuber need lol.
Then when people simply say "dude, what happened to your promise man?" he throws a fit and deletes comments breaking ANOTHER promise where he publicly promised his fans he would NEVER EVER remove comments etc.. and now he's going even more overboard muting and deleting comments that criticize him in many cases (people on reddit are showing proof of dozens of comments being erased etc..) He went full Spoony/DarkSydePhil. Never go full Spoony/DSP...
Again, just to re-iterate. The only reason the vast majority of us are upset is that he LIED to us over and over again. If you can't or just don't want to do more reviews then don't promise us a dozen times over a years time that you will, ya know? It's that simple, if he'd just be HONEST with us and say "I'm having a rough time, don't have time for it; or "just don't feel like it right now" etc.. then i guarantee you "most" of the people complaining (at least the long time fans like me) would have no problem and would do just like you were mentioning, ignore the other stuff and click on an angry review when it pops up.
Maarten Burger facts
Same here. I don't really watch a lot of the movie reviews and stuff like that, but I won't actively attack or downvote anything that doesn't interest me.
He still makes reviews... So go do your own thing. Be smart. Don't get these entitled fucks
Not gonna lie i subscribed to this channel only for the reviews, but when your new upload is not an angry review, guess what i do? nothing, not gonna give you a hard time because of this
Brunn0121 Basically. I either watch a few of them or find other things to watch for the time being.
in fact i got interested in the other content he does, tried seeing it once and liked it, i really cannot see the problem in what joe is doing, he deserves more than any of those fuckers that only complain and complain and complain.....
exactly... if it's a review for a movie or game I dont care about, I just don't fucking watch it and move on with my life... Wtf is wrong with those no lifers that feel the need to talk shit like wtf...
you are better than most, sir
How can you not like this guy or attack him? He's so genuine in his work and the people he creates content for.
Merudius Decimus Some people are just so imhumane when treating people. They swear up and down that his videos can be produced in a matter of a couple of days when that simply isnt the case. They are selfish people who don't deserve Joe.
@@killershootin6934 *Right*
Hi Joe, I'm one of those as you said that don't really comment on videos. I must thank you for clarifying all of this. While i never hated you or was pissed with all this "less content" stuff but I did see the comments and I must say I was starting to really doubt you and your activity... I did not do any research on my own so as I said i was starting to doubt BUT now that you clarified all of this I must say thank you and I will keep supporting you! Keep going strong Joe !
Joe, it's ridiculous how much content you put out, and it sucks that people don't know how hard you work, they don't know the facts. Keep up your current work man, ignore the haters. You'll always have some hardcore fans.
Agreed. Joe could put Other Joe on making behind the scenes videos. That would A) allow Joe to work on his content and edits, B) Show the idiots how much work goes into a video, and C) be a good training project for Other Joe to learn editing (as I know he wants to improve his skills).

Doesn't seem like people realize that this career requires a drive to do it well. If you don't have that drive then the quality goes down and you lose interest. Quality or quantity is much more preferable to me. I don't want an AngryAngryReview for almost every game, only the games that are either really good or really bad. Also UA-cam videos are free to watch! It's free! It's takes a really greedy person to complain about free stuff. There is a difference between complaining and criticism. Most people just complain and don't realize how much effort it takes to make an AngryAngryReview, saying the creators don't deserve a break and must bend to their every will and demand. I'm more happy with the way the AngryJoeShow is heading, more reviews and videos :)
I only subscribed to watch your Angry game reviews. I think they are awesome. I will remain a subscriber and come back to watch your reviews even if you only did one per year. I sincerely mean that. I remember my first home computer (Commodore 16) way back in the 1980's, at the age of 11 sitting and waiting for games to load, i guess we all had more patience back then. People just need to chill out and stop with the hate. I got your back Joe :)
Jesus. I bet you're the one to yell out muh millennial are ruining things
S'chn T'gai Spock yea, couldn't agree more! If he wants to do less angry reviews, then that's the end of it, but it's not that I will explode and tell him to do different. If it's one every x month, then that's it :)
Sad that he has to justify this, but UA-cam has come to a difficult state... every UA-camr is having problems right now, in addition to the downfall of advertisements (and most likely the end of YT as a revenue source). I can understand his anger.
David Saucedo off topic af
Wtf are you on about David that has nothing to do with anything
S'chn T'gai Spock i couldnt agree more, my first PC was a Compaq Presario with 1mb of ram. Remember 14400kbps dial up waiting just for a picture to load! With the speed at which information is available it is easy to forget how lucky we are to be at this point in technology. Love this channel's content and will continue to watch.
I've been watching Angry Joe content for years! Keep it up Joe(s)!!! Today i specifically went to your channel to see whats new :)
Angry Joe reviews:
His Audience
WwZa7 1/10
They done fucked it up!
-1,000,000/10
@zac200 I wish I could give you UA-cam gold.
You get me :)
HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD!
HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD!
HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD!
HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD!
HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD!
HE IS A UA-camR, NOT A GOD!
You a are the reason i started watching youtube. And you can tell you have passion in work. Take your time
Speak
lmao all these review references in the comments it's killing me
*Honestly I resubbed just to see the aftermath tbh I understand why people are mad, but some took it too far. Its understandable why people are mad. They expected content every month, and they thought joe commited himself to this scheduel he made. It takes work, and time to make stuff like anything up to joe's quality: scripting, acting, retakes, filming, actually playing the games, deep assesment of the games, basic editing, key frames for effects (I can say from personal experience key frames are an absolute nightmare.), and etc. Knowing the behind the scenes it makes sense why joes joe's stressed. Joe made a mistake: ignoring his subscribers wants. We basically dictate the image of his channel. Not everyone saying these things were trolls. If a majority of people here want A.R.s then they're going to be cross when they don't get them. As sad as it is joe had it coming, saw it coming, and didn't defuse the bomb when he had the chance. Defusing the bomb being releasing a teaser or progress report on the angry review. Hell maybe even a new scheduel*
Well said. Seconded, drjakbob poophead!
drjakbob poophead If he had passion for this he wouldn't be bitching about his fans wanting more angry reviews
I don't care about the movie reviews. I definitely don't care for reaction videos. I also don't get mad when these are uploaded. I just don't watch them. Post whatever you want, and I'll watch whatever I want.
Flintstoned Same. 90% of his content nowadays hasn't really interested me, but I don't get pissy about it. I don't care. If he ever makes something I like, awesome. If not, I'll watch something else. Simple as that.
Yeah pretty much, I'll watch what I want to watch, theres other content I can watch on UA-cam if Joe doesnt upload what I like, he's not the only youtuber. He can post what he feels like posting.
Flintstoned And that's fine. I don't understand why people having trouble grasping this simple concept
Flintstoned Agreed. I may check out a movie review if im interested in the movie, but I'm mainly here for the Angry Reviews.
I agree 100% I haven't watched much of Joe's content lately, however if I see something uploaded like an angry review or game play footage I wanna see, I get excited and tune in. In the meantime I watch the thousands upon thousand other things UA-cam has to offer until then. I agree, if there is something you don't want to watch. . . .don't watch it
3 years late but, you do you. Keep up the great work! :D Love the videos. And also all the different videos makes your channel even better imo.
Ironically, it has been a Dunkirk review that I have wanted for a while.
Hi Joe, been watching for years (since the AC3 review I think was the first one) but never really commented much in that time. Just wanted to say I've always been a huge fan of hearing your perspectives on things, I'd never really been much of a fan of strategy games for instance (had just never really tried one) but your videos on them and how passionate you always were encouraged me to try them more and now they're one of my favourite genres so just wanted to say thank you for that. It's not just the games though but also movies and the other stuff(and the board games as well, didn't want to leave them out), I might not always agree with your opinions but my point is that you always have an interesting and different take on things and that's what I like about and why I look forward to your videos. I'm sorry about the vocal minority but I hope you're doing ok and I look forward to the next video, take care.
I've been following you for almost 9 years joe, I love everything you do.
Today's mostly younger audience is just so spoiled they don't think about how hard it is to create interesting content and that doing the same thing over and over and yet still doing it in a fresh and interesting way is a super hard job. All they do is consume and demand. Don't let them fuck with your head, you guys are doing a great job, and you should do videos about anything you want as long as it keeps you satisfied with your work and helps building a creative spirit.
Piotr Zając well im pretty sure its not just kids nowadays that dont know the meaning of hard work...
Agree, spoiled brats
Right, just like Joe knows the meaning of work taking a 3 month long vacation right?
@@marcorocha-figueroa8967 your a dick truly you are he needs it your just sad
Piotr Zając yeah True
*Solution*: Make an angry review of your comments section
Or a second channel. Y'know, what every other UA-camr does when they want to do something atypical to their iconic content.
hahahahahah
The haters get??!!! A BADASS SEAL OF APPROVAL!
Naughty Avocado If only it were that simple. I get you're kidding though.
Unfortunately, some people were born with a certain mutation that merges the pole shoved up their rear end with the butthole itself. This prevents them from taking shits so they have to talk shit so they don't have to clench for so long. They think complaining about it helps but it doesn't. Sometimes you gotta twist and pull out the pipe before it's ok again. I get it, it'll hurt and it always does, especially if you're a prideful person but it will get even better and stronger in the long run and you'll get even better reviews than before. Alas, good things take time and even the impatient scurriers of the internet must wait at the stop sign otherwise you or your message/intent will die and go unnoticed. Hang in there.
I understate this is an angry Joe fan thread of some sort so could you help me disprove these statements?
1.Joe is a liar a.k.a said he was going to do this but didn't do it
-Said he was going to go by a schedule but didn't as soon as the year started with him not telling his fans that the schedule was canceled.
-Said he was going to make quick reviews for games he couldn't get to(last year) but once again prematurely abandon that.
-says he hasn't had a real vacation but constantly goes away on trips and I believe he did go on some sort of a vacation last year oh and he had one this year as well.
2. He's a hypocrite
-Critic that can't take criticism:disabled ratings and comments and is apparently deleting comments with different opinions
3.hes gotten lazy
-quantity of angry reviews dropped in the last 2 years(most severely)
-quantity of unedited filler content has increased
-quality has dropped here and there like with the short reviews.
-he's also put on some weight (he had a neck)
It is your channel and if you feel you need a break, then go for it, Joe! But I would also recommend not promising a new schedule that you can't keep up with. It will make people feel (rightly or wrongly) they are being lied to. I enjoy some of the non-review content, but also saying that you are going on a break and then putting out GOT reviews a couple of days later may have also made people think you are losing your passion for the Angry reviews themselves ( I wasn't angry at all about you posting GOT reviews, but when I first saw it I was like "wait... isn't Joe on vacation?" XD).
This is not me being brainwashed (I don't even read other comments on your videos). This is purely just a couple of things that came to mind while watching this. Hope you enjoy your break!
Veggie Gamer I agree.
Veggie Gamer he does say that making a schedule was a bad idea though cuz people hold him up to it so he does acknowledge that atleast
It's UA-cam and it's free content. If he says a schedule and for some reasons can't keep it that's up to him. If people have a problem with it then they have other problems to and need a shrink. Or a good beating
Blade Guardien agreed
Angry reviews are the highlight of this channel and I personally don't watch your other content (most of the time) but I won't attack your channel sorry but I have a life and better things to do besides try to ruin your hard work keep up the good stuff and hang in their man.
I just realized after reading through the comments that no one watched the fucking video lol
Welcome to UA-cam
i have come to the exact same conclusion, and its sad to see the ones that clearly didnt watch the video are the most upvoted
*joe answers the haters* "HE SHOULD EXPLAIN HIMSELF" lmao
^ the perfect middle ground
I personally love your channel. I've watched your angry reviews, movie reviews, and other things like rants, interviews, etc. I am a true fan and understand how much work you put into your work. I support you, and wish you the best. Have a nice vacation, we will be here, don't worry about the haters. :)
Honestly, a good idea would be a video explaining how a Angry Review is made. Maybe people would then see how much effort it takes.
Recording "behind the scenes", like how James Rolfe (Cinemassacre) did with his AVGN episodes.
Interstellis that's a good idea I would love to see that
That's actually a smart move
I'd actually like to see that.
I think he should try that once too. Would be fun also to see how he does all the magic
Interstellis that would be the best way to get through this shit and redeem himself, honestly(unless it's surprisingly easy or something)
Reaction and Reviews are my favorite part of this channel. But Ill never be negative to you in a harsh way. Though I may criticize you at times. (Not sure if I have ever done it, always kept it to myself.)
This is your channel, and I feel bad when I see people personally attack you or your channel.
Note that most of your audience is mad due to a small portion of your viewers spreading lies saying that your channel is dying in content, which is what you pointed out.
Bryan Lewis
Oh man, don't criticize him out loud. He can't TAKE that shit. 😞
didya mean he has for 9 years. You should give it a try, and see how long you last.
Long time follower, since your channel awesome work, I've loved your early peeks at game play, your reviews of games AND your movie reviews. Keep up your good work and have a great rest of your vacation.
I enjoy your videos, movie reviews and game alike. Everyone is allowed to have free time whenever they want or need it.
I'm here for your personality, not the content, so I'm happy. I've been here since god knows when, probably around 2010 I subbed and let me say I'm happy you've started doing movie reviews and trailer reactions because it's something I'm interested in. Also, you have some of the best dev interviews I've ever seen.
I love Angry Joe's channel and will love his channel no matter what. As long as there's movies and video games I'll always love your videos.
"I'm fanatic and I love it. Burn the witches... eee haters I mean!"
that is terribly retarded comment
Joe ... I follow your work from November 2012. I apologize for the bad English, but, nevertheless, greetings to you from the far Russian city of Vladivostok. Your reviews every year become more difficult, more qualitative. People want entertainment, but you have your own life. No matter how they told us otherwise. We are with you. You deserve some rest. We will wait.
Vladivostok? Damn. Closest I got to Kamchatka was St. Petersburg (Petrograd) when I went on leave.
dasvidania! (До свидания!) Best wishes from across the Bering Strait! :P
....for more game reviews.
Sonik Storlack i don't care whether or not theres new content, but don't disable the comments and
I totally agree!
@Scarface
This video is literally all about how people are taking their hate way too far in the comment section; do you think he's going to let them virtue signal for their bullshit cause? They're entitled little twats and Joe just needs to tell them to go fuck themselves so they go back to drooling over Jake Paul's shit vines or whatever mentally disturbed children like.
@AngryJoeShow.... I have followed your channel for a long time and have watched several videos over the years. As a fellow aspiring UA-camr, I totally recognise the pain-staking work that goes behind your videos... creating short skits with costumes, gathering game footage and stitching audio/video production elements into the final upload along with your review comments. All this takes time and effort, balancing your channel production with personal life.. and fans should be aware, responsible & supportive. You've got my full support! Continue doing what you do and I'm keen to see you diversify with more review types (Angry game reviews are still on top!). Best wishes to you.. and the OtherJoe too!
I can't believe people are losing their minds of over this! Joe, I have been subscribed to you since your days at Channel Awesome and that's not gonna change anytime soon. I said it in your previous video and I will say it again here: I can patient, take a vacation if you need one, and I will still be here when you get back. That also goes for other joe as well cause he helps the show equally with you.
Draegon Manaka your like the only person that's been nice other than me 😂
I love you AJ! Stay angry and I enjoy your content, regardless of what it is! Keep up your work brosef.
Still love your show regardless of how many videos you put out, or weather we can comment. Keep up the great work brother.
We are all adults here. I totally understand why you did it. It's cool. I enjoy your content. I will continue to subscribe to you.
not to be a jerk but this comment made me chuckle,i mean how many times can you subscribe to angry joe lol. still i like your comment.
It's funny how people will say get a "real" job, but then hold youtubers to higher standards than people in "real" jobs. Remember how content creators are paid, mainly for producing content. If they stop putting content out they receive much less money. People who work in "real" jobs get paid vacation time. In Canada you get 2 weeks paid vacation every year. You get 3 weeks paid, every year, after 5 years of continued employment. People in unions or good positions get over a month paid vacation every year! For goodness sake the people in the comments need to cool it. If you like Joe's content surely you don't want him burning out. Are you really so impatient that you cannot wait a month or two for free content?
I pay my electricity bills! The fuck do you mean its free?
Tom but you dont pay a youtube subscription fee...
Tom that is very interesting logic and by that reasoning, as a taxpayer, nothing is free. But I think you know what I meant :)
That is an excellent point, my dude.
+Four | I did indeed, Sir! :P
I only watch your Angry Reviews, but like upload whatever you want my dude. I support you no matter what!
I also really only watch the game Reviews, and I don't mind that he puts out other videos. But, the ratio, combined with a fickle schedule, is a little frustrating. All his other videos feel like spam in my subscription feed. Nostalgia Critic does puts up videos I don't watch, but come Tuesday, his regular video is up. I don't watch Bennet the Sage's wrestling or movie vlogs, but on Monday his Anime Abandon is there like clockwork.
Granted, video games are bigger and harder to schedule around. But Joe really isn't keeping up. It's also frustrating to hear about him spending g time and effort on a game review, then dumping it because it's no longer timely. I'd rather watch a review a month late than to know he threw a couple week's of effort out the window. That's time not spent on another review. I'd be happy with a review every 2 weeks. I don't care about the skits or jokes, I want to hear the in depth analysis. Joe is good at breaking down what works and what doesn't and weighing flaws against the fun factor.
And it does feel like he's shifting away from scripted reviews to being a Twitch streamer. Which is fine if that's what he wants to do, but don't expect to retain your UA-cam audience that way. Just be up front with it, take the subscriber hit, and move on. There's no point in trying to make everyone happy, changes to your channel have consequences.
I'm sorry this has happened to you Joe. We love you! Take as much vacation time as you want. We'll be here when you get back.
I appreciate the work you put into your videos. I watch 95% of them and I always look forward to your reviews..You've earned a vacation several times over. Joe, keep doing what you do best.
Joe, if you need to take a break from game reviews, do it. I really enjoy your other content, and I prefer that you do more than just game reviews, because I just like your personality. And if they want more game reviews, you would need more people to make help you make them, which would lose some of that original Angry Joe cheesiness, which they would complain about. If I wanted game reviews the second a game comes out, I would subscribe to IGN or some other GAME REVIEW channel. On a side note, I would love to see a Horizon Zero Dawn review with Joe in an Aloy costume. That would be hilarious.
I'm not going to kiss your ass or be a groupie. My honest take is that your brand has expanded, not derailed. You owe me nothing, but I enjoy your videos--even the cringy moments. You are a talented, charming guy. I have unsubbed from others who get too distracted by their personas. I may not always agree with you, but I trust you are being honest and beibg youraelf, among friends. Keep up the good work, in the way that works for you. You're an "angry" reviewer, and some fans feel like they are following your example by being angry for no reason...screw their ignorance.
Well said!
You know you've made it when you've got haters.
So...what about EA?
@@DrMonty-yr1kc Well, they are a wildly successful company. Are you are of exactly how much money they make from FIFA compared to the rest of their games? Hint: It's a lot.
@@DrMonty-yr1kc well they make hundreds of millions of dollars per game they released so yeah they made it
I been f**king with Angry Joe from way back when channel awesome was called that guy with the glasses. As a fan I can honestly say I've never disappointed with his content or the lack of.
Joe I just want to say the hate you saw does NOT represent the views of the VAST MAJORITY of your fanbase
We love and support you
Actually it does represent a big majority. Nothing in this community is anything but hate.
How do you know? Do you represent the vast majority? No you don't.
How do you know you salty cause you can't make good videos like Joe? He has been making videos for nine years and I bet you have not come close to the respect and love he gives to his community so yes, he does represent the vast majority.
Dude, I'm already getting hate for defending Joe this morning in my video, I Stand With AngryJoe. So the hate has got to come from somewhere.
AJ has helped me on many occasions saved $70 on mediocre games and $20 on mediocre movies, and the biggest service I did for him was take 3 seconds to click the sub button.
Must be real hard for many people.
shows how much I pay attention to the comments, I didn't even know this was going on. woah. I wouldn't worry about it man keep up the good work.
Just agree guys, Social Network and Internet is Cancer
Sushanth Adusumilli It’s 50/50 in my eyes
Nebucrestent who are the assholes specifically?. Are you able to identify them? Are you able to get rid of these kinds of people??
I personally like to watch all your content because your just a great person to watch and listen to. Every time you upload a video I watch it and I really don't care what it is. When you uploaded the video about your vacation I was like "ok I got other channels to watch" and I respected your decision to take a vacation. Also when you uploaded that GoT review I flipped shit because I LOVE GoT. Don't listen to the haters Joe.
Zach Palencar While there are mamy unnecessary comments here, I wouldn't lable all the criticism as "hate" and just call people haters. That's ridiculous.
I know! When Joe doesn't make a video, i just, you know, watch someone else, not make him sad by leaving mean comments.
thank you for being a sensible person in the comment section.
(edit) I've done reviews like Joe (though mine are really shitty and bad) and I can tell you how hard it is to try and be funny and have good content. Now I stopped making those review videos and put one out way back for RE7. I felt good making it but it was time consuming and hard. People assume that those game reviews are as easy as movie reviews but they aren't. Anyways have a nice day man...PS I may get back into doing reviews but so far its been lets plays
I agree 100% and I think its sad that he had to make a video about it and that the negative comments got more popular than the positive comments like this one and that true fans like us, barely get noticed anymore
Zach Palencar I agree. Watch his GoT reviews because I don't want to pay for HBO. WATCHING THEM fills me in on whats happenin on GoT. I absolutely love watching your reviews no matter what it is.
Vlog style content on "the making of" each episode of angry reviews would be a new type of content that can be released after each angry review. That might hold people over until the next angry review if they can watch you making the last one. I like your videos Joe, most of them anyway. :)
Driftwood Gaming I have always been interested in seeing behind the scenes of and angry joe episode. Good idea
See? This is how you make constructive criticism, if that's even what it is, suggesting and trying to contribute some ideas. I remember that James Rolfe made a "making of" video -WITH a review included!- on AVGN, and not only was it lots of fun, but actually pretty informative! True, it's a different beast altogether because he's actually playing in "real time" as he speaks, and that's an entirely different method, but it'd be cool to get a glimpse of the creative process for his Angry Reviews. (He uses tons of editing and chroma effects, so it'd even be fun and pretty educational for amateur video makers)
Or, a better idea would be not putting sub-par content on the Angry Joe *Show* channel. Other popular UA-camrs have second channels for things like "making of," vlogs, and streams.
I suspect the only reason Joe doesn't do that is because instead of having his current subscribers migrate, he could just spam us and hope his current subscriber base will click on.
Nobody wants to see that shit!
Driftwood Gaming This is actually a really nice idea! I'd love to see that!
I came here from Boogie's channel. You just got a new sub btw.
TheHaiku2 same
I support you man, ain't no problems from my end. Your video production is amazing on your angry reviews, I look forward to nearly every one. Keep up the hard angry work.
Create whatever you want. I personally enjoy all it. Your opinion is valued a lot by me. We are currently in a game drought so the game reviews shouldn't be as prominent.
Angry joe, keep your head up bro. I really enjoy your videos. I think having different content is good. Variety is always good. 😉
JR Hill of course it is good to have different content. One problem - he is too lazy. Look at other movie/series reviewers. Or look at other crap reviewers. If he don't want to review games right now I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, but if he still put out content he must make an effort in it.
JR Hill yes variety is good but not when you completely change your content from what it was before. If Cartoon Network stopped airing cartoons and started airing live action shows( which is what they did and it flopped) then you can't call it Cartoon Network anymore and the people who started watching for the cartoons will leave
Savion Smith Just like MTV
it's a thing called burnout
Frank Castle So for you its a Problem when some one provides you with not enough free content eh? ungrateful.
Always loved watching your amazing content Joe ever since the Ride to hell angry review. Ignore the haters and I don’t mind whenever you release angry review, I will still be a subscriber and watch that content any day in my life. Keep up good work Joe!👍
You are great Joe, you take so much time and effort for all of your content and I know I personally love seeing your channel become more personality based. Much love.
Joe you sound stresses. Do what makes you happy buddy. I enjoy all your content and I like to see you grow. I dig your opinion.
Frans T well that makes 2 of us
That makes 3 of us

his fat fuck ass should go move to Berkeley , i'm sure you would fit right in with all those pussified liberals ,., they hate the freedom of speech as well :)
I don't care about most of your other content other than game reviews and previews and I rarely watch it, but still - this was one of the best and more importantly the most honest (and humble) videos you've ever put out, Joe. Hat's off to you, sir. Too bad I can only like it once.
Everyone deserves a break Joe, haters and trolls are on every channel. True fans of your work will stick by you and others will come and go. Do what makes you happy 👍
youtube has turned into such a volatile community (for the most part), and its sickening. Keep up the good work Joe, I've been around your content for awhile, and I'll continue to do so.
And finally a logical person!
You know what Joe?! Even though I would always love more Angry Reviews, this is YOUR CHANNEL. You should do whatever makes you happy. You can try to do content that we like, but in the end you will burn out if you don't enjoy what you're doing. I don't think that the problem is people don't like you, they just want more of what made you great.
Joe I feel for you; stop reading these comments and do what you want to do. Put out the content that you want like you did in the beginning. Don't try to please haters when the REAL fans are enjoying all the content you put out.
The problem with this is some UA-camrs DO enjoy reading the comments, so when they get situations like these, it can have an effect on them because they then have to scour through page after page of crap just to find actual feedback.
I Actually like all of your content, I really dont see the issue with doing several things at once. I really dont know whats wrong with people.
DARKDOOMZDAY Same
Same here. Just some people like reviews more than his other content which I understand, but they make threats and hate comments and it's ruining the community.
Joe seems like he would be a really cool guy to have a beer with and Other Joe too of course. Love the content Joe, keep up the good work!
playing with oj your game would break imao
I'll be honest. I'm only here for the Angry Reviews as well
When there's not an Angry Review I don't get mad I just smoke a bowl and play some Killing Floor 2.
themrnails - 😂 YASSS ✌💯
themrnails my man! 😆
Anyone else not get their hazmat suit because of the stupid glitch, completed summer sideshow but no hazmat suit
Except, just like you just don't bother to watch anything but the angry reviews, Joe doesn't need to bother being a snowflake about the comments.
themrnails Same here man. Seriously if you don't like his other stuff you aren't forced to watch it. Between Netflix, Hulu, and UA-cam I always have something to watch. This is the golden age of home entertainment watch other shit in between angry reviews. You sound cool as fuck wanna be friends lol?
Joe I love all of your content regardless if it's an angry review, sometimes I even prefer the movie reviews and let's plays. Keep up the good work man and you do you.
Wolfgang yea right, I bet you just want likes on your comment lol
dont see any on yours lol
Savagedock check again bro, lol
Savagedock also stop liking your own comment 😂
i dont you fucking idiot
Guys he's a man not a god.
Rambo John Don't attack him like Godzilla attacks a generator.
zillafire101 lol i loved that one. that game sucks
Rambo John COME ON COMRADES
This comment is fucking amazing
THAT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD!!!!
Dude you are one of my first UA-cam channel ever watched. While I don't always agree with you I am very much a fan, take a break, recharge, regroup and enjoy your vacation. Can't wait to see your future reviews and rants
I've always enjoyed all of the content you create. Keep up the great work.
Joe I think you stick to your guns and put out content that you are passionate about!!! Stay true to yourself! You will never be able to please everyone.
Awesome comment right here👊
nailed it
Spot on!
I don't know how much you earn, and frankly I don't care. Everyone deserves a break and a chance to spend time with family.
I choose which reviews are interesting and watch them, and the ones I'm less interested in I simply don't watch.
Keep doing what you do and your 2.8 million subscribers will largely be on your side.
Eventually everything ends, so enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts. A philosophy which works for so many occasions :)
last I heard youtube pays about $100 per every 100,000 views. all his game reviews earn him over $1,000 for 60-80 hours work. I bring home $1,600 a month in a factory making $14 per hour 40 hours a week 4 weeks a month. I don't know about you but earning that kind of money with just game reviews would be pretty nice. plus the hundreds his other content pads in.
Joe, I've had more time to really think about this. Now that I've gone back and really looked at your past vids, you need to realize something.
You are our voice, sir.
You try to keep micro transactions from becoming commonplace. You speak for those that don't have a voice in the gaming community. You keep shitty devs in check.
You have all the right in the world to take a break, sir.
However, when it's important, your angry reviews reach more ears than anything else.
Perhaps people have a difficult time explaining that to you.
Perhaps they're asshats.
That's all true when it comes to the trolls.
However, we all come here (at least your more intelligent audience) to make sure our voice is being heard. You are our voice, Joe. You decided to make a living out of this.
Should you decide it's not worth the effort, say so. I get that everyone needs a break Mr. Vargas. But 99% of your people want their voices heard and you are, by far, the best at making that happen.
Enjoy your vacation Jose.
I expect a complete AJ meltdown soon in regards to the new Mordor game.
Thank you.
Gayest thing ive ever read "you are our voice sir"
Joe did some pundit video here and there in the past, but that's long dead now. He barely mentions anything anymore, unless it's in a review. He turned into a pure entertainer, instead of being another voice along with Jim Sterling and TotalBiscuit. He might have been our voice, at some point, but he's not anymore. The companies don't care about him anymore, what he says goes over their head.
The sooner you accept that Joe is not a pundit, is not our voice, is not a critic, the lesser the fall will be. He's just an entertainer who happens to make video game reviews from time to time, and little else.
i was gona do a comment, but reading this, i've got nothing else to say lol
Icky's Pop T
If AJ, a mediocre to bad gamer, is your voice, you have bigger issues son.
Joe I hope you survive the angry army civil war
They aren't and were never part of the angry army.
The Angry army is Loyal and has respect,unlike these fuck heads who want no freedom for Joe.
hydra forces inside the angry army
You work like a dog bro, just take a break. You're like a friend to me in a way, I've known you for years. You're one of my favorite youtubers!
DP Reinwald how you know he works like a dog? He is in his house all day he makes his reviews on his house he makes a review once a month how the fuck that's working like a dog
shavingculture because of he other content he creates in between open your eyes dude
Hey Joe, I never comment on your videos and the majority of us appreciate the work you have dedicated to this channel and the community. A lot of us support you and your decision and the true fans will always persevere with you in the journey. We all care about your well being and you do you. Thank you Joe.
A true fan can not support shitty contents being made by our favorite Angry Joe. Any true video game lover would play hours of PUBG now, but no video on such game from Angry Joe. What can we see on his channel? All these worthless "review"... A true fan must show the mistake, rather than accepting everything blindly.
I subbed for your honest and unbiased opinion, I do enjoy the angry review format but even if it was just you, a camera and your honest reviews of the games I'd still be around.
Bunch of children who don't understand how being an adult with loads of responsibilities is like. Life isn't just UA-cam people, we all have other things to do... Your channel is great Joe, enjoy your vacation!
MarkLion Z You don't even know their ages....
MarkLion Z I would agree with the responsibility of running a show is an adult "thing" to do and children wouldn't understand. However, I disagree with your implications that just because a lot of people voicing a negative opinion, that makes them children. As a "consumer" you have every right to voice an opinion on that product. Sure, there is a small percentage of people who are just griefing.
However, that doesn't mean a negative opinion should be completely ignore because of the small percentage of them are trolls. That's just a bad way of handling the situation.
Brandon x22 if they are bitching and crying that their free content is not being made for a bit, then they are children.
MarkLion Z listen...you say he has 2mill subscribers. I'd say about a mil only time in for the reviews and some are just old who hit the button and tuned out along time ago. You fan boys and Joe are making it worse by calling grown men kids as an excuse
Dirty Casual if you dont like his content unsub moron.
Criticize Angry Joe: You're a troll.
Support Angry Joe: You're a fanboy.
Welcome to the game where everybody loses before they even get to play.
TheRealmDrifter lmao true :b
"When you play the game of Joes, you either lose or- you're not even listening, are you? Ned Stark, you're not even listening, you're just trolling youtube comments!"
Kutlu Mızrak yeah he says one thing everyone changes it to fit their political view even if he's straight right
Waw you have negative way of seeing the world you must have a sad life. I feel sorry for you.
TheRealmDrifter shut up you sound like a whiny brat
Still an AngryJoe fan even if you want to review fast food.
haha me too
only if its a angry one
This is running on empty... Fooooood review.
ME TOO BRO
Joseph Iovino I'm not opposed to some fast food reviews 😂😂
I just wanted to say (and this is perhaps my first and last comment on your videos) these things:
You are totally right about the MAJORITY of people watching your videos- we watch, we say "Oh that's really cool" and we move on. Yes, exactly what happens.
And also, your videos are amazing, really. I have never even seen any other content other than the angry (or other) game reviews, but they are my main source of finding games to play for me and even just entertainment. Don't get discouraged!!! I think you're doing really great. I mostly like the honesty part, which,I think, is the core and center of your channel. :)
At the end of the day it's your show. I enjoy all your content. The people putting negative comments are the minority. The minority is usually the loudest. Keep being awesome Joe.
"the minority is the loudest" - what
Ncusa17 Most people aren't fucking insane and understand him taking a break, those people just watch the video of him saying "No reviews till September" and say "ok cool" and move on. The 10 thousandish people that are mad spam comments and dislikes. Aaaaaaaannnnd just in case math is hard for you 10 thousand out of 2.8 million is a minority 😙
+Bdjckm Dncnfbe And then they're the people disappointed about broken promises and failing to keep up with an upload-plan. I personally can live with no angry reviews 'til september, there are enough video game reviewers out there, but I can easily understand people being pissed.
We support this action. Good on you for making a stand.
You've earned a break. Keep up the great work!
Dude as an old retired Army guy I love your Angry Game reviews and even check out your movie reviews before going to see a movie. Keep doing what you do, the envious trolls are always going to hate no matter what you do!
As a fan from 2009, I can tell you with all honesty that I think you're going in the wrong direction, this is not 'Telling you what to
do if if you don't do it I'll Unsub', this is a criticism that perhaps others might share as well.
I always liked your passion for games and Angry Reviews, I think this is what makes you an unique, honest game reviewer.
What I personally don't like are your movie reviews, TV show reviews, and reaction videos - this is the field where I think you're
weak at, it's always great to hear your thoughts about the things you like, but you make those videos WAY too long.
While it's less work than video games reviews, it's still time that you could use to rest, plan your schedule, work on other stuff or think of new directions of content about gaming in general. This is not a call to stop doing anything that is not gaming, this is an offer to put more effort in what you're best at.
The thing that bothered me for a long time is that on one hand - You don't have time to review games or keep up, and on the other hand - You have time to do up to 50 Minutes long TV / Movie reviews and reactions (which is the worst content to EVERY channel), so why not to plan your work to be more efficient?
Here is what I suggest: Make movie and TV reviews shorter (10-15 minutes), either ditch reactions or reduce their time, give yourself some time to breath instead of burning yourself out, maybe try to focus more on INDIE games? maybe even Board games? if you're taking a break for two months please think about these suggestions and try to plan and think about other options that can help your channel.
Pieminator I believe as James Rifle said in a recent "what's up" video.. it's about quantity not quality.
I agree. In my opinion i think the content he uploads is probably his way of adapting to the changes (and rather frequent ones at that) that youtube makes to how videos get advertised and how much money he would make from said videos. He even makes that statement that nobody likes to hear but we all understand: "I gotta pay the bills". I'm sure if he had a consistent pay flow like your typical full time job regardless of how much he uploads then he'd probably use more of his time doing game reviews (or not I don't know how he thinks).
I am no expert in video making, but the movie reviews do not seem to be hard work, They come from the cinema, sit in front of the camera and talk about the movie. Maybe you have to convert the file and upload it. So even if they are 50 minutes, they can not effect the show negatively by taking time.
Ah I didn't mean that at all lol i'm sorry if it sounded like that. What i meant to say I understand where Joe is coming from and I support it but I also agree with the original comment Pieminator made if that makes any sense. Film making and Video editing take time especially if you have a do or die passion for it so I see nothing wrong with making some less workload heavy content to keep the lights on while he takes his time on the content that truly need the time to grow and become what we as fans know and love.
I enjoy this channel's content, old and new , and I trust Angry Joe's criticism even when I disagree with it sometimes.
@ meaturama And right there You sir or madam are the problem :)
I think what irritates people is when videos keep coming out promising more content, or a schedule, and then it doesn’t materialize. Here are some videos over the past few years along with some things said:
--Sep 7, 2015 - Angry Joe Show expands. Other Joe and Del brought on fulltime. Promise of a ‘whole lot more reviews’ with the added help
--April 15, 2016 - AJS update. Acknowledges schedule behind, more content coming soon.
--June 6, 2016 - Update. Reviews behind, props took longer than expected to deliver. More content coming, may skip E3 in the future to do more reviews. “I hear you guys, real life just got in the way for a while”. New schedule, maybe a review every 2 weeks.
--Sep 2, 2016 - Reviews and eye surgery. Push back reviews for a few weeks, recovering from eye surgery.
--Dec 15, 2016 - We address your youtube comments. I broke down and took a vacation. 2017 plans - start the new schedule (get back on track and more reviews).
--July 14, 2017 - Our two month vacation. Took it easy in July but need a further vacation.
--July 26, 2017 - We only want angry reviews. Current video - can’t only do angry reviews, also need to pick low hanging fruit with movies/lets play/etc.
I have zero problems with non-review content; I just watch what I want. I also don’t have a problem with the number of reviews - do what you can. Just be honest with the audience. When it appears from your videos that you continually promise something then fail to deliver, it’s going to rile people up. Much like when a developers explain why a game has multiple delays before release - the reasons are probably legitimate but it still pisses everyone off, and each delay or excuse only further irritates the fan base.
I definitely agree with what you say.
At the same time, I do feel that there is also at least a bit of responsibility on the fans to be patient as well, as long as the reasons for delays are legitimate. I understand that fans want something as soon as possible, but that is also part of the reason (besides corporate developers) that games these days tend to end up with rushed releases and appear to be in "unfinished" states sometimes and thus forcing the fans to wait and wade through usually multiple patch updates before the game's initial problems are fixed and the game can finally play as if it's truly "finished"; all the while the fans complaints get even louder and worse *because* of the various problems the game has.
Personally, as long as the reasons are truly legitimate, I don't mind if stuff gets delayed. It might be annoying due to anticipation for the release, but I'd rather wait just a little while longer and (hopefully) get a better product for it rather than get it exactly when it's initially said to come out, only to have to deal with bugs, glitches, and other problems.
*Looks at AC: Unity, which is actually decent to play now, but only after months and months of patches*
Like, I remember back when Bioshock Infinite got delayed a couple times because the developers weren't yet confident that they ironed out most of the bugs in the system and wanted to make sure it got released with as much good quality as possible (and the hype for it was *huge* ). As a result, the game did indeed release with very few, if any problems at all in terms of bugs, glitches, game play issues, and so on, and very few patch updates came out for it.
We're on the same side in this - I don't care when/how much content Joe puts out and I wouldn't want him to rush anything. I'm just commenting that based on human (gamer) behavior, people tend to get angry when their presumptions aren't met. It's not always logical or reasonable, but part of the goal of a content creator is to set expectations. And based on the videos I listed above, I think Joe made the mistake of setting the expectations too high, repeatedly.
On the flip side is TotalBiscuit, another youtuber I watch. His content slowed down because of cancer treatment, but even if he was healthy it wouldn't be a big deal, because he never makes statements about what he will deliver and when. I think if Joe started a year or two ago with the video stating "the way we work is fluid and we don't have a set schedule, content may slow down but we want to work in a way that makes us happy" we'd be in a different place right now.
I'd love to see only game reviews. However, I like that your expanding and growing. I can wait for game reviews, I have patience. So long as you never forget that we got you to where you are today, and that our support is what did it, I'll back you in anything you decide to do.
I'm not sure why everyone is so angry. Not only did he provide the statistics for his review frequency but at it's core people's are angry at a content creator for diversifying content. You are watching him for free, and if he suddenly wants to change then he has every right to. Joe isn't a slave for his viewers. He seemed very reasonable, besides the disabled comments.
chunt yeah but these figures were before he was a channel with over 2mil subs. More subs = more work. Think.
I donated 300 USD to help him create more and better gaming content. I didn't expect him to use it to sit on his ass and watch movies then sit on his ass again with friends to do a group talk. And I'm not the only one who donates to him for gaming content. But I guess everyone is ok being played esp those that do watch for free.
+Trevis Phan Your dumbass wasted $300!?! Ridiculous only a fucking buffoon would waste that kind of money on donations to a UA-cam channel! Extremely ridiculous! You got money to waste boy just buy the games.
+Trevis Phan Donating to Joe does not give you a right to tell him what videos he will do. It's a very nice thing of o
you to do, but again, you giving him $300 does not give you special rights.
@Trevis Phan You voluntarily donated 300$ to him, he didn't force your hands to give him that sum of money mate. And wat da fuck why would you donate 300$ to a youtube channel unless they seriously need it?
Take your time Joe. Quality before quantity. :)
+Delpoth Have you seen this channel in the last year or so... ;)
Those who insult and derail someone because they don't make the content they enjoy whenever they want are selfish, spoiled, degenerates. I love ALL your content, whatever it is, so keep up the good work Joe.
Next year is going to be a good year for angry reviews. So many games are coming out that are expected to be good. Can't wait
Can someone please tell me why seeing some videos you're not necessarily interested in in your sub feed is so anger inducing to some people? I've subbed to AJ for a long time and have never watched every video he uploads, but I'm subbed for the ones I do to show support for a content creator I enjoy. I do this with all the UA-camrs I am subscribed to.
If a video you don't want to watch shows up in your sub feed, it's simple, just don't watch and move on. In fact it takes more effort to complain and unsubscribe. Just watch something else. There is so much content on UA-cam. If you're not spending a penny, I don't get how you can be that upset. Not every video has to be catered to your specific interests. And if you donate and don't like the content now, you're free to not donate.
Some people are entitled little twats. That's the only reason I can see.
Imedias Rez god forbid if people USE features that are part of a website. If a large portion of your viewerbase votes one way, it's YOUR JOB to appease them. People don't owe them shit. Fuck him for crying poor.
Imedias Rez You're right. If you don't like some content, just don't watch it :)
Imedias Rez It's because he increased the amount of non-Angry Game Review content as his subscriber counter increased, but as he has proven he is releasing them roughly the same amount of time as he has previous years.
Who the fuck cares? Besides Joe, obviously, beta kiddos in the comment section writing paragraphs *whining* about the people *whining* about Joe don't help anything; in fact, it actually makes the problem worse and more annoying. Shut the fuck up, unbunch your tighty whities outta your ass, and support Joe the best way you can: watch his content, sub and like his vids (if said vids *deserve* a like in your personal opinion that is), enjoy the channel, and don't post bitchy, Beta Edgelord esque paragraphs in his comment section, as the people who do that shit (prime example, your giant whinefest of an essay up above) don't help the situation in the slightest, and actually make the problem larger and worse, and 99% of the time are actually way, WAY more whiny, bitchy and annoying than the people bitching/hating on Joe due to the current circumstances going on.
Check ya self kid.
#fuckwithmeyagetbodied
P.S. - Oh yeah, before any betas chime in and say "Hurr Durr you just posted the same type of whiny comment you said not to post, durrrrrrr!!1!!1!1", no, no lol, factually incorrect. My post was not whiny, I was not bitching about anything at all, etc. On the contrary, I was making *factual observations and statements* on the current situation and the beta cucks making it worse. Again, fuck with me you'll bodied. Factually.
Wow these comments are really terrible. Yes, I'm here mainly for the Angry Game Reviews. All the other content you put out is bonus/extra content as far as I'm concerned, and that's not a bad thing. If you put out a movie review or a trailer reaction video about something I'm not interested in, it doesn't ruin my day, I just don't watch it and get on with my day.
This^ I totally agree with you, I don't really care about any other content, but I don't really mind them. As long as we get a decent amount of angry reviews.
Realist comment in the whole section
TheLastKeyblade 1. I love your name. KINGDOM HEARTS 3 is coming
2. The problem people have is that we are not getting a decent amount of game reviews when there are a surplus of games out
It takes the emotional maturity of a 6 year old to realise and accept the obviousness of what you just said SJ991. So glad I'm at about 7 years most days! :)
Joe: just do what you do & thanks for all your passion and hard work mate. Some of us got onto noobtoob back in the day & still support it to this day because of you. Love your work, just try & let the haters go self-pleasure themselves elsewhere. Clearly some people can't fathom the 'you can't beat free' concept here, so just let them disappear as quickly as possible back into their pathetic, meaningless little lives. And as always, going back to the early days of UseNet - do...not...feed...da...trolls. ;)
I am part of the 'silent majority' and just as stated, watch videos then move on. However much as I love Joe's Angry Reviews, I would never have gone out and watched Colossal without his review and do appreciate the extra content, I just do not consume all the extra content. In short I am quite happy to be silent and wait; also many people are very self entitled and need to think about other perspectives to fully appreciate their own and balance their voiced comments with moderation instead of being callous.
I don't think I've ever left a comment on a Joe's video before, I've watched enjoyed but never commented. Well that changes today .........I agree with CromezFIN, Joe's makes free video's it's your choice to watch them or not, no one is holding a gun to your head. It's obvious he takes time and is passionate about his content.If you disagree with his message you can diagree without attacking or raging about it. From me, I like your videos I enjoy the content, I for one look forward to watching you and your team doing whatever, keep up the good work
Agreed!
Joe, I've been a watcher of your work for a long time now, and the reason why is that you don't BS. You tell it straight, whether its a game review or a movie review. Even when you dress it up in skits and comedy bits, the bottom line is that you say the good and the bad about the product and you do it clearly. Where other reviews dance around the quality of the product, you cut straight to the heart of the matter. That's why I keep coming back. And as long as that aspect stays, no matter what goes up on the channel, I'll keep coming back. Do what you got to do, man.
I have an idea for you Joe, if you can find it in this pool of comment which you probably won't.
When you create a new Angry Review record a production diary throughout which illustrates all the time and effort that goes into it. In the end, people will get to see the massive amount of time and effort you put into each video which will hopefully give them an appreciation for when one does come out and for how long they take and the production value they each contain.
I subbed for Angry Reviews because I was liked minded with what you were saying in each and every review, and still am. I don't watch your movie or show reviews because I only ever play games and don't take an interest in movies and shows, this is okay vise versa.
People are complaining and even attacking you about the free content that they're getting not being enough. Hopefully if you are one of those people you can see how fucking dumb that is. You have the internet, go do something else. No one owns you anything but a kick in the teeth.
Connor Force 👏👏👏
Yeah! Like how Frankie shows the timeline on Sony Vegas!
Absolutely Connor, hopefully Joe takes your suggestion.
