The only positive thing that comes out of mediocre games:
*So Joe can absolutely tear it to shreds.*
bruh this is stupid funny on god xD
I love seeing Joe go absolute HAM on bad games.
Hey why are you *not* everywhere!?
@@utubepunk Same here but the worst is still yet to come.
I totally forgot Outriders was a thing in 2021. 🤦♂️🤣🤣
50:30 I love how Alex walks in the room, sees what’s happening, and decides to leave and come back later.
That made me laugh so hard I had to pause the video until I could compose myself.
My cat, dozing on my lap wasn’t amused at all as I shook with laughter underneath her. She rode it out though with an expression that almost seemed to wonder if I was having a convulsive fit.
"Nope"
Why would Alex walk out on the funniest moment in history?
He's a hard man to please
@Jeric White And in what language as well either that or it's just english but he's so full of rage that it's become unintelligible gibberish
How the hell could anyone genuinely think Deathloop deserved game of the year let alone a perfect 10? The game was a 6.5 or 7 at best.
my personal feeling about this game is that they praised it so much because the actors in this game were diverse
Agreed. I have hard time to even finish it.
Prey was much better.
@@kinghemirstir9390 exactly what it is, if the 2 leads were white it would be a 6/10 at best
it had funny kicking
The Deathloop rating controversy is pretty simple thing to explain. IGN needed a game to give out a 10/10 award to maintain their "unbias" rating system. They take a unique game concept and throw it in people's faces saying "See? We do rate story games! This is a fresh and unique idea. Not stop questioning us why we rate Madden so high every year..."
What controversy? You mean people who can't handle opinions or the idea some really love a certain game.
@@KotorFan-zb1bo all the shitty game journalists rating a mediocre game 10/10 while everyone else says they're stupid and the game is lukewarm IS a controversy
@@tibarion no that just sounds like people on the internet inventing a problem because they can't handle other opinions
@@tibarion by your logic Angry Joe was stupid when he like.Suicide Squad even though critics and audiences thought it was shit.
@@KotorFan-zb1bo Fact is that 2021 had bad games and they had to have game of the year somehow so they hyped this one and voila... The game isnt bad, just 10/10 masterpiece?, Okay its stretching a bit now(and by a bit i mean a lot id say its 7 or 8/10 game for sure). Fun but missed opportunities for real greatness, devs maybe played too safe imo.
Edit: I Just realized Village was out 2021, now that was a great game.
As Count Dooku once said; "I've been looking forward to this."
Twice the pride, double the fall.
“My powers have doubled since the last time we met”
“Only a sith deals in absolutes”
As Yoda once said “their is another” (worst games of 2021)
"candy is a waste of time"

I always look for this comment when watching these videos thanks
Thanks!!!
really wish Joe would put time tables
@@buticansingmanyanimesongs3020 for videos like this it makes sense to hide it because you are meant to watch it in order to build suspense and make you question what is worse than the game you just saw.
@@Ridders-yh4nf np bro. So do i but sometimes noone puts one up.
50:29 Chris just grinning ear to ear while Joe is losing his shit is the perfect example of unintentional comedic gold
Love seeing Angry Joe give Nerdslayer's Death of a Game series a shout out.
Dude makes amazing videos while doing a bunch of detailed research behind the development of games.
Always love these lists and other videos Joe, long time fan !
It’s cool to see Nerdslayer finally getting around, he makes good stuff.
UA-cam reviewers and info channels are the only ones I actually trust the most. I like nerdslayer and Joe so much more than IGN.
And say what you will about game theory, but I would trust that channel with my life.
DOAG is a fantastic series, and 6 Pixels Under is a great pod for chillin' if you wanna listen about gaming.
@@blundy1 I've never listened to either. Maybe I'll take a look.
Joe has prevented me from wasting so much money on crappy games and I want to thank him for that.
I use gamepass for that.
@@00ABBITT00 😂 True that.
I feel like i owe so much money to Joe after saving me from shitty games through years lol
Same
Support his show then lol
please don’t ever loose your energy joe it’s amazing how you’ve done this for so long and don’t seem tired of it so thankful for u guys
It's amazing that Joe, AVGN, and Yahtzee all still haven't lost a step in over a decade...I really felt that little flip out when Joe's HUD didn't reappear after a full reinstall...
that accidental "repetitive gamepay" at 12:14 though
@@tenjenk it upset you that much. Go read a book.
This guy was born for a reason
@@CrispyHulk1 upset? who's upset? it was hilariously fitting mispeak. how can it be anything else? You are seriously misreading the room.
Sad that the three big FPS franchises, Halo, CoD and BF are all on this list. A telling of the times for sure.
Yeah they are all on a massive downward trend even if Halo was arguably the best of the 3 it's seriously average
@@malazan6004 Halo is on an uptrend tho (remember halo 5, its also better than 4 imo)
@@lillvesp also its Halo multi-player not campaign. I personally enjoy Halo for the campaigns and outside content.
@@LeoInterVir what? Is that english?
@@lillvesp did you not watch the video? Halo Infinite multi-player was mentioned not the campaign.
Joe got a massive upgrade. That new house looks baller.
I thing the most offending part about Battlefield is that the silly flute version of the song is A LOT better than the version they went for in the game.
Not only that but the "songs" on 2042 are 20+ minutes long 💀💀💀
There are no songs in 2042. Just some weird, jarring noise.
@@MrSkinnyWhale its nails on chalkboard equivalent
One of the tracks for BF2042 sounds the a state of emergency alarm.
there was an actual human being getting paid to deliberately produce weird, ear damaging audio disturbances and call it a "soundtrack"
its kind of hilarious

I was going to say, save some women for the rest of us, but nah you deserve them. Do you want my wife's number?
Surprised that GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition isn't on here. Then again, he probably didn't play through all 3 games before this.
@@Nightmarewrath i don't think it was that bad as everyone was making it seem at the end of the day it's still three great games you can fully finish and enjoy if you play it normally
@@Nightmarewrath Bruh it's probably on the worst games list
Deathloop was probably the easiest and the only rouge like game that the "game journalists" could complete so a 10/10 made sense to them
It blows my mind that it over shadowed Returnal then it was absolutely phenomenal. It was difficult at times though so your comment makes sense.
More likely some £££ got put in some pockets
Yeah holy shit what a massively overhyped game. I looks okay but...just that.
I would only play it if it was free with PS Plus to be honest, it just looks so dull. I could have been SO much better, imagine the enemies actually reacted to the loop and started guarding areas you infiltrated from or wearing armours that defend against the most common weapons you use, shit like that.
That would have been incredible and it's stupid because the NPC's are all supposed to be in the loop with you...but none of them give a shit about being repeatedly murdered and do nothing to adapt? Fuck off.
Returnal shits all over it
@@Michael-wx5tk dude Returnal truly was something else amazing atmosphere
Angry Joe: His normal state of mind
Quiet Joe: So dissappointed he cannot even be angry anymore
When joe always says “thanks for being patient” all I think is; Bro I don’t buy/preorder any game until I hear from you guys and I haven’t been disappointed since doing so! Thanks AJS!
Seriously! My brother bought 2042 on release and my mind was blown at how obviously bad that was going to be.
That’s what I’ve been doing also and it’s been fantastic
@@porkerpete7722 ooof ya bro. Never ever preorder. It’s never worth it. And it is even more worth it to just wait for the review.
Same here
@@danielmullin9458 it used to be ok around the 360/PS3 days. Now, nope. Everything is just rushed.
Theme this year: Overhype, microtransactions, severe launch issues... AAA gaming for the last 10 years in a nutshell.
This is why, as a patient gamer, we're in a golden age. I buy last years games for 80% off and get a finished complete product. It's fantastic.
Preach!
True! In fact, I watched others' perspective for the storyline and if I think the game is replayable then I'll buy it when there's a sale.
So true! In the past few months I’ve picked up dragon age inquisition, Jedi fallen order, mafia remake, and hollow knight for a total of about £15!
@@robonzo4817 hows Hollow Knight? Been thinking of buying.
@@martymcfly88mph35 If metroidvania gameplay is something you're into definitely play it, fantastic game and easily worth its cost
I went from being extremely excited for BF2042 to uninstalling the game after only a few days, it truly was a disappointment beyond any other this year. They really need to reassess the battlefield franchise and remember why people liked it in the first place
BF1 was the peak of the game engine and BF4 was the best overall. I really wish they would just remaster BF3 because it's been long enough
I pre-ordered it and still haven't downloaded it.
I mean, other stuff aside, this game fails me in minutes because it's technologically garbage.
I didn't play it
I willingly just decided to wait for months and see if the game will ever be more "complete" by idk, June??
Do I have to wait half a year for that?
@@accent1666 It's probably gonna be dead by June. On steam it's already lost like 96% of it's total player population, and I can't see it being any better on console. Games already dying
That "COD has no iconic characters" line is so funny, like even the previous game had characters people really responded to. But im glad the effort to make those "iconic" characters resulted in the most forgettable group since Ghosts
Hell, I can at least still remember the NAMES of Ghosts!
Like Hesh, your bro, Logan (the player), Elias your dad, Maverick, Keegan the ghosts members
And Rorke the Ghost hunter and villains
But still, I'm wondering if these devs have bothered to look their own past games like MW3 and not see that people still to this day remember and LOVE Cpt.Price, Nikolai, Soap, Yuri, Makarov
Or BO's Mason, Woods, Hudson, Weaver
Steiner, Dragovich, Kravchenko, Menendez
Riley is ghosts iconic character
I don’t even play CoD and I’ve still heard of Captain Price, dude is a proper gaming legend.
@@maxspecs yeah right
Ghosts atleast had a memorable villain since he's one of the only villains that won in the end
The worst thing about Battlefield 2042 is that they prematurely ended Battlefield V’s cycle right as the game was turning a corner and getting good and we never got an Eastern Front expansion
Battlefront 2 as well as it was starting to get to a point of having good actually good content and feeling like a full game
Both of those woke propaganda games fucking SUCK
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 How is battlefront woke
Im more disappointed that 2042 was my first game that I've ever preordered. Hell black ops 4 was even more disappointing imo but atleast that game works and I'd rate it better than this game despite it having bullshit supply drops and cases. Bf 2042 is a mistake. And we players deserve our money back who bought it. We should all be eligible for our money back or a refund atleast
@@DivineBeast-mj7uy why would anyone preorder a cookie cutter fps like battlefield or cod
Don't be sad, Joe. This is just how it works out sometimes.

You're a hero
We all know why Deathloop got all those virtual signaling 10/10. It's not a magic trick when the whole audience know how it works.
Yup, "diverse" leads is the only reason
“Call of Duty doesn’t really have any memorable characters.”
Price, Soap, Ghost, Roach, Makarov, Richthofen, Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo.
Pretty much all the main WaW-Bo2 and MW characters.
Throwaway characters and dead gone and forgotten
@@trumpjongun8831throwaway forever
I can’t deny it, I enjoy watching Joe rip apart bad games more than him praising good ones
Same! These videos are way too good. 😁😂
They don't call him angry joe for nothing.
You're not alone. It's way more entertaining when he's bashing these games
You should be able to enjoy all his content your apart of the problem
That's the brand. ANGRY Joe!
There should be a law that prevents games having their own "currency" for in game purchases and mandate that the purchases are listed at their actual dollar (or whatever the local currency is) value. The fake currency is purely to trick your brain into dissasoiciating the payment of money on the actual microtransactions by using it as a proxy, and I feel like its a step in the right direction to remove that cognitave manipulation even if they aren't banned outright immediately because that would be too hard to do strait up
that's actually a really simple and effective first step for making it less toxic. But i still think we need to get rid of it but maybe that's already to late.
I agree because in my country I have to usually pay more to get those currency. They added tax or service charge which is bullcrap
That's a great idea. Hopefully it can become a law since no company will willingly do that and will probably keep selling blue skins for $50.00 or higher.
actually there should be a law that prevents microtransactions....
but then ppl would start to scream and cry that they cant buy useless bullshit skins that prevent actual content or even gameplay dlcs from happening
It should be a part of the Ganeva convention, and considered a war crime
Joe just gotta say since you posed the question last year (I think): your disappointing list is my favorite list ever since you introduced it. It's got room for so much nuance
Deathloop was a 7/10 for me. Nothing crazy or mind blowing, but I had a decent time with it. Got it for $20 brand new physical during a GameStop Christmas sale lol.
Yeah 6.5 to 7 out of 10 for me also. Prey is far superior from the same developers and Returnal destroys it for a roguelite.
I had a blast with it and picked it up for 30. Cant complain. I dig Colt as main character too, my mans is so funny
4 out of 10 for me, one of the most disappointing games of it's time, it felt so complex & lackluster in a way
Not worth the 15 bucks i spent on it
Never stop this series my man, seeing a new most disappointment vid and the worst list ofc is like xmas for me every year. Sad times we live in where you can't even get hyped for games anymore. F you DICE
Pc and console will all get refunds get yours fast
On the plus side, lack of good new games freed up time to play old games for the first time.
@@matthewmuir8884 so true
@@jig-ga Indeed. For just one very fitting example, I finally had time to play what actually is the best time loop game: Majora's Mask.
@@matthewmuir8884 I have to check that one out, i've been taking full advantage of the xbox game pass. 1$ for 3 months cant beat that lol
If Joe is apologetic instead of angry then you know he truly feels bad for you and isn't trying to put you down
Unless you're blue then good luck getting Joe's sympathy.
Good to confirm for myself the only two reviewers I trust when it comes to games I'm interested in.
Joe and Skillup
wb the actman & moist critical?
skill up is a mix bag tbh. Worth a buy is better than him
@@Sabre2015ActMan can be a bit biased as well.
Joe - your videos really help me in my dark times. Thank you for making my life happier
He's right, Deathloop is a magic trick. Its how you turn a 2 hour demo into a 15 hour repetitive rinse and repeat fest 😂
Yeah man Prey got barely and credit and it's far superior
@@malazan6004 but shitloop has dIVerSITy bruh. That's most important today.
Did any of you play Deathloop? I enjoyed it a lot
@@Diegoshadow85 Yup. It's the only reason they frothed over it and the worst thing is people saying it's mediocre or shit would be cast in a racist light, which is completely irrelevant and dangerously political.
@@kidfazer Yes and it's not a 10\10 Returnal was a way better rogue like. Had better gameplay by a long shot and was way more of a satisfying experiance. Even better enemey designs. It has best 3rd person gunplay. However, casuals find it too hard. The AI is stupid in deathloop as well. Deathloop is a 7 at best, not a 10
Dude I remember when UA-cam was all top 10 lists. Thank you for keeping the tradition Joe
Whatculture is happy for you
He even still uses the old countdown cards youd see in like 2013
That GameSpot review of Deathloop made me so mad lol. They couldn't fine one flaw
Great examples of why I'm glad reviewers like you exist. So I get great skits instead of wasted money and time.
love it when the bad games list is almost twice as long as good list
This is just the disappointing list. Wait until the worst games list.
Disappointing list, not worst list.
I know what you mean but this is not what the gaming industry should look like!
Which is sad, really. Gaming is an expensive hobby but littered with garbage games; really nails that gaming is no longer 'premium'.
@@sgwcyingko
I'm actually kinda grateful for it. I'm always complaining to myself about how much there is to play and how little time I have. The rarity of actually good games helps that problem. That and it also makes them look even better in comparison.
Crowbcat nailed it with his video comparing L4D and B4B. Out of curiosity, I re-downloaded L4D and wow that game was ahead of its time.
Exactly, i agree.
Or everybody else in recent years are just realeasing cash grabbers for idiots. They just don't care anymore, money over matter and f*** everybody, because it just works.
Valve makes good games. Go check out Half-Life Alyx if you haven't already. It takes intractability to the next level for video games.
B4B was just fucking awful. Boring and awful looking guns and sounds, zombies seemed all the same and had zero facial expressions to them, the different types of infected you could play seemed very similiar too each other and each of them lacked personality unlike the ones in L4D 1&2. Left 4 Dead did everything better.
@@giglioflex Yeah? I hear that a lot. But I was sunrise who was pumped for HLA and got it on day 1. So I had every reason to be more charitable than necessary. But I found it to be a fine game. Not bad and I had fun. But it was really not that different than other vr game. Expect it was more polished and looked better. But I would never go so far as to call it next level. It felt like more of the same to me.
Joe going absolutely berserk just warms my heart like nothing else. He truly loves videogames to feel so strongly against these crappy games.
You and Skill Up are my fav game review channels so awesome to see you include his views
Funny and sad how the majority of triple A games are so crap now, goes to show you what happens when greed comes before passion
Support indie games!
@@bookipzee But they're all boring
"Hey Joe, you wanna play a zombie game??"
Gets me every time
did they play project zomboid yet ?
Hey Joe, you wanna play a motherf******* zombie game!!!!??"
cant wait for their Dying Light 2 review zombie game quote xd
It has better horror, than actual horror movies 😱
It will never not be funny.
That Outriders review intro still gets to me. Just comedy gold 😂😂
The recorder and Joe's reaction to the music may be my favourite angry joe thing ever
9:15 Enemy: “You’ll never break the loop!”
9:34 Alex: “She broke the loop” 😂
Well yeah, it wasn’t him who broke the loop.
Hahaha best moment of the whole video
Joe's top ten list have been an annual tradition for over a decade now.
Ayyy same
Absolutely true
Time for someone to rank them.
And if you disagree with that, YOU IS A FOOL.
It’s good to see Joe hasn’t changed a bit since I last saw him in 2014
Returnal was a far superior Deathloop for me. Loved that game man!
Battlefield 2042 was an atrocity and everything wrong with modern FPS games nowadays. I wouldn't be surprised if it made Angry Joe's top 10 worst games list, as well.
Well fallout 76 was in the disappointing and worst lists of 2018 so anything is possible.
Some might say im crazy, but think 2042 was still better than Vanguard. CoD is the pinnacle of the biggest load of shit in FPS.
@@cyanide7270 you make a valid point, but IMHO Vanguard, although bad, still played like COD, but BF2042 was not BF anymore (no classes, bland environments, etc.) and hence I spent more time playing Vanguard, even the campaign. BF2042 going F2P in some form or another says it all.
@@cyanide7270 here's the thing- you can actually PLAY vanguard.
The rubber banding, server crashes, hit registration issues, and more makes 2052 UNPLAYABLE
Oh it will for sure
BF 2042 was an absolute disaster of immense proportions. It was the worst example of how a Battlefield game and how an FPS game in general should be.
Literally all the Triple A FPS games released this year fell short. Vanguard was the 'same shit different year,' 2042 was a lazy and broken disaster, and Halo Infinite could've been a 10/10 had it released with more content.
I'm still a little sad over it tbh. Battlefield is something I've held close to my heart since 2010 and BF3 is one of my favorite games ever. Just hearing the "cheeky" little post-game lines in 2042 makes me want to vom.
Somewhere along the way they completely forgot they are a niche game with a very loyal fanbase. It's frankly astounding; almost as if none of the devs ever played a Battlefield game.
@KANDEMACKJACK Sorry to hear that mate, hope it gets better for you. I played 2042 for one month after released and haven't touched it since.
@@volusian95 Same man, honestly makes me sad to see the state of gaming today. I grew up with so many awesome games on ps2 and PC, and at this point i feel like games that are good is so rare. The last two games i was truly hyped for besides god of war for pc was cyperpunk and Bf2042. Man its sad that i would rather watch movies rather than playing games because its been so long, since i last got a fresh good experience. God of war and red dead is the last two games that i really enjoyed.
This is the first Angry Joe video I have ever watched. My thoughts in order:
1. Chino from Deftones.
2. This is great commentary.
3. This is really great commentary
4. This stands head and shoulders over the new G4 reimagining. I am subscribing to Chino’s gaming channel instantly.

When this review episode is more enjoyable than half the games on this list.
half?
That's pretty generous.
Excellent video! Love the controversial choices!
I enjoy watching your videos to help me pick out good games. On a side note you got red at some point it was funny. Keep up the amazing work
I've never been dissapointed in my gaming life as I was with BF2042. Been a BF player since BF42 so it really hurt. They just can't fix this turd called BF2042. They've broken the core battlefield experience so badly they can't deliver what the vast majority of fans want unless they completely redo the game. Bring back the class system, get rid of specialists, more weapons, better maps, gritty futuristic atmosphere, a solid campaign to give the multiplayer context, and no goofy bullshit.
It was obvious after the Beta that the game would turn out to be unplayable trash, so why the fuck would you still buy it?
I really wanted Mass Effect Andromeda to ve good and it just wasn't enough for me. Wasted like $100 for the ultimate edition to just be let down.
ur lucky you wasn't a huge Command and Conquer fan then. CnC4 was the worst game from a great series ever made lol. not only was it bad, they changed the formula just like 2042, but its even worse, and because the game has a focus on story and this game was the last of that story line, they destroyed the story and gave you probably the worst ending in any game ever lol. 2042 was close though.
BF 2042 was the last dying whimper of the franchise unfortunately.
@@MimonJesus67 people have the tendecy to think that developers will polish a game after beta but the reality is that, is just a early glimpse of what the game will be like
The good thing about the disappointments list, is that it mostly serves as a good reminder to me on all of the mediocre releases that I absolutely forgot about a second after they came out
Fr, somebody please make me remember but last year was pretty pathetic for releases. I can only think of Ghost of Tsushima (PS5), Forza, and Resident Evil even though it was short it was a great experience.
@@Nahuelero123 i played through more old games for the first time than ones that released last year
Agreed.
Angry Joe list also exposed the industry joke of an effort to convince their choice of GOTY 10/10 rating industry plant worth buying for casuals.
The reviews and Game of the Year chosen by Activist Journalist are not all what it's hype up to be.
The true review ratings and Game of the year lies with the gamer's personal preference and experience.
I didn't even realize the Medium already came out. O_O
@@RipperRoo92 been that way for a while, kinda surprised these mainstream outlets havent gone under yet
One thing I took out of this video is Joe says I couldn't care less, not could care less like a lot of his compatriots.
Well done Joe
You know another the problem I have with "Shiny Blue"? I don't even play any of the games in that genre and I am the worst penny-pincer on the planet. But... I actually have a weak spot for that blue with an Aurora Borealis effect. As someone in the creative field myself this makes my heart cry even more about this whole topic, because I know their artists know what they are doing. It's a game with a nature-based, muddy, earth-tones-filled ecstatic. Of course people would want it! That skin stands out the most.
Joe is one of the few UA-camrs I don’t mind watching their sponsor ads and products (mainly because they are usually hilarious skits) but even when its just him talking about it I smile cause I know how much UA-cam has fucked over this man
Respect
Not a fan of repeating a 3 minute sponsored advert on the second ‘news’ video which is essentially split in half just to shove in more advertising
You know what Joe, do you know the BEST thing about the last 2 years of gaming ? Between the GPU scalpers, poor game quality, Lack of available consoles etc...I went and bought myself a canoe. I have rediscovered that outdoor activities are great. I started to fish again, swim more, explore rivers in my area. I have been a shut in for so damn long I forgot the world was out there waiting for me. I still play on occasion of course. I mean I built a rig with an AMD 2700X and a 6700XT so I need to get my money back, but outside is free and wonderful. It's been so annoying to be a PC gamer for so long, fiscally as well as the sad state of gaming I actually have a tan now!
Nice, been moving away from gaming as well (picked up rowing). Good to see others discover the outside
Cool I took like going into the river and stabbing fish
@@thetankhunter100 Nice!
@@woutervanheusden Also not so fat anymore, so that's good.
Love the outdoors too. The cost of gaming is just getting ridiculous, specifically graphics cards (CPU prices have increased as well but to a much lesser extent). $2,800 - $3,500 for a flagship GPU is just nuts, I bought my old 7970 for $480. I don't need to spend that kind of money to get half-baked Ray-Tracing, I can get a much better version in real life.
I recently discovered both Angry Joe and Skillup. I highly respect and appreciate both their opinions about games, so seeing Skillup referenced here just confirms that they are on the same wavelength...
Keep up the awesomeness Joe!
The tech on that game where you could have thousands of players sounds incredible
Imagine having a Starship Troopers game with hundreds of players and thousands of those dang dirty bugs? That would be amazing!
Game journalists gave deathloop a 10/10 because it's a game they could finally "be good at". Since it was stupid easy
Makes them feel smart because they think the concept of deathloop is complex
@@lukecoleman6499 I haven’t played Deathloop yet, but i think Lafcadio would laugh at Deathloop. It’s not that good of a time loop concept.
Deathloop was pretty fun, 7 or 8 out of 10 game. GTA definitve edition should have been on this list instead imo.
@@Kage-jk4pj If that's your idea of a 8 out of 10 game then you must have pretty low standards.
@@taramaforhaikido7272 this so call "standard" doesn't exist. Only subjective opinions on a game. I personally think Days Gone and TLOU2 were awful but I don't think people who have a different viewpoint to me have a "low standard". Just that a piece of art impacts people differently
If this "thousands of players" thing doesn't perfectly summarize the creative bankruptcy of this industry, whose only idea for "innovation" seesm to be "MAKE IT BIGGER", I don't know what does.
Gaming is still new compared to other entertainment medias, we'll get out of the hole again eventually. I think it's mostly just head of companies who need to learn their place and not interfere with creative processes.
@@ThisIsMyFullName Nothing is gonna change, just look at the movie industry. Companies are only interested in making more money.
@@ThisIsMyFullName Well the only reason things ever change is because of demand, and people seem to be ok playing the same games over and over. The AAA games we are playing in 2022 aren't much different from the games we were playing in 2010 because people keep buying them and don't demand more.
@@DeltFtw Well the main difference is that film didn't develop along side the internet. The fact that we have so much to say as consumers and we can have such a big impact on gaming as a whole, is very important. I think the opposite is true in the sense that companies underestimates how big of an impact gamers can have. Actors had to create the me2 campaign, but us gamers changed a whole gaming company (Blizzard) and got it sold, in less than a year. It shows we're heading in the right direction as an entertainment media, even if the currently released games aren't that exciting.
@@ThisIsMyFullName OK but what good does transferring a billion dollar company from the hands of one to another actually accomplish. Hell Microsoft couldn't even hit on arguably their most popular IP of all time in Halo, what makes you think they will revive a disjointed Blizzard. They won't, it will continue to be a cash grab, with the only difference being the cash is going to them. AAA gaming is washed.
Man joe I hate the UA-cam algorithm now. Now I do not get your vids in my recommended and it’s aggravating because I don’t see when you post stuff. But now I’m gonna turn on the bell
Great list Joe and very fair on your part. Most of these arn’t bad games but just incredibly disapointing.
Really is a damn shame with the Scavengers game. Seeing that footage of hundreds of players on a single consistent map/server was a marvel. I really hope that the technology used for that game becomes more mainstream - so many games and genres would be made so much better with that kind of server technology. Imagine MMOs with servers that could hold thousands of players at once, or Battlefield-like FPS games with huge maps you can run and fly through. Hell, Scavengers could've stood out in the Battle Royale genre if they went all-out with the technology and had matches with 1000+ players in them, with massive 50-100 member squads, creating this chaotic war for dominance in a large map. There's a lot of potential with this kind of server technology, and it would be a crying shame for it to go unutilized.
And yeah, fully agree with Back 4 Blood. I was looking forward to it ever since it got announced, and I was bummed out when I actually played it and realized how bad it was. At the same time though, had I not played that with a group of friends, I wouldn't have discovered the far better versions of it - World War Z Aftermath and Vermintide 2 (can't wait for Darktide to come out, speaking of which)
So basically Planetside 2?
Shoutout to Skillup in this video lol, seeing as his reviews made it in there a few times. He shares a lot of the same opinions and arguments as Joe, so I can highly recommend him as well.
Searched for this comment! Skill up is honestly a great reviewer and a i share a lot of opinions with him. Was happy to see joe included his points.. cant recall if he ever did thar before.
Lmao the out righters skit was my favorite. Made me chuckle
Thanks for blessing the feed
I dont know why, but that, "Modern Gaming!" clip gets me every time!
I’m very sure Joe did not mispronounce “gamepay” cuz that’s essentially what it is.
Even the things that he say unintentionally make sense
Price is turning in his many graves at the "cod doesn't have any memorable characters"
Love the jacket at the beginning of the video joe!!
They absolutely massacred Battlefield. I have zero faith in DICE being able to give us anything similar to BF3/BF4. This franchise is dead.
🪦
You had faith in them after V?
I just can't trust mainstream reviews, glad there are channels like AngryJoeShow
That was funny and sad to watch, nice video, Joe.
Always good to see an ActMan cameo
Alex's soothing voice is such a welcome touch to our angry joe show
Yes and OJ jokes.
They’re the perfect combination.
I think it's pretty obvious why Deathloop was hyped up by the games media.
Why?
Great video, thank you
Take a shot anytime Joe rages, swears, or begins to go on a rant...
Er I think I hear the ambulance coming...
I played the Medium and really liked it. But I totally understand why it's here. There's no tension, it's not scary, honestly the story kept me engaged but it's only going to appeal to those like me who enjoy VERY narrative heavy games. It did need more in it (enemies primarily)
Exactly, it's VERY niche game. I liked it too, but still wasn't fan of static camera. It was more creepy because of its themes and story, and not because it's scary and tense. You can like something and still agree with others critique (hell, I love Cyberpunk 2077).
Yeah, me too Kinda, because i remember the only thing that kept me playing the game was the heavy toned narrative, BUT It still a damn shame that they had Akira Yamaoka on the project ans the OST is not even close to any work hes done before.....and i still wanted more tension and some scary enemies, and less splitscreens.
It was Ok. I remember it for having terrible performance on PC.
Same here. Atmosphere was good and the story was alright. But could have been more.
I couldn't get into it, played a couple of hours but it just didn't grab me. Might go back to it eventually.
When I play a shitty game, I get hype knowing the angry review is otw. What a time to be alive
Was that an unintended 2042 reference lmao
Just hope you returned it mate, clueless pple buying sh*te games is the reason why we're in this situation lol
@@MrAlam471 Lol yup. 2021 was the first year that I haven't bought a single game released that year. I bought a bunch of games, but all released years ago.
2021 proves to be underwhelming when It Takes Two is the GotY. It's a good game and deserved it for 2021, but is miles off compared to previous year's GotY. And then we have disappointments after disappointments in an already barren gaming year.
@@MrAlam471 game pass good sir
@@HoodPodcast bloody hell you lucky sonofagun, im literally looking at my ps5 in disgust rn
I feel deeply disappointed after watching this video... great job AngryJoe! Mission acomplished! 👍
“Gamepay”
Joe that’s the best word slip up ever. It says a lot about those kinds of games.
Joe: "I want my fricking money back EA". Lol Joe you always make me laugh.
I never listen to any of these journalists, I rely on the reviewers like Joe who actually are honest and put effort into their work. Thank you Joe for being there for the gamers.
Anyone can be bought.
@@raphk9599 duh that’s what people like AJ are for. To make people think twice(and hopefully a third) before buying what could’ve been a genuinely fun game*cough cough* anthem
@@raphk9599 sure. His track record is good enough to give him the benefit of the doubt if the reviews are different from your own experience.
Well tbf Joe can be very biased on certain game, movies and tv shows
He doesn't always have the right judgement and most of the time has poor taste in what he calls "entertainment"
While other Joe and Alex are always honest and say it as it is especially Alex he's blunt and honest... If a game for example has issues or pacing problems he will shred the game and I like that.
@@jhamer18 That's the magic of this channel, you got 3 people which have different personalities and their own opinion. If you don't agree with the first one, you may agree on the second and third one. Sometimes i don't agree with Joe's opinion and stick to mine but most of the time i agree with him
I love how 9/10 most disappointing games are multiplayer or multiplayer modes.
Did some executive dumbass said that single player games were dead and they would only invest on multiplayer? Good job. You made great products this year. Again.
They’re glued now? They’re glued now!
The Halo community was calling out the shader/monetization concerns months in advance yet the skepticism was ignored
The Outriders Loading screen skit they did had me laughing so hard.
Reminds me of Anthem lol
for me it was the fucking haka joe performs around 50:28 xD
This is what EA needs to hear: "Battlefields 2042 wants to be everything but itself".
Good thing I managed to avoid all 10 of these games. You saved me alot of money Joe!
