ECHO SOOOUUUND :DD
this hack tries so hard to be funny but fails hard.
his reviews are uninformative and pointless, he likes every game and doesnt even know anything about the games he "reviews"
he also gets 10,000$ a month for doing these shitty shows
you only like him because he is old and you have daddy issues
And lately he has been spamming his shitty #whodefeats crap videos too that no one likes
Agreed that the whodefeats shit is bad but his reviews are plenty informative. He doesn't actually like every game, if you watched every video you'd fucking know that.
He just manages to find appreciation in games that he sucks at. Which is more than what /v/ can say. /v/ sucks ass at a game and they write it off as shit.
>>336329502
I take him for what he is. A person who still wants to see the best in the video game he plays. There's something so simple about that. He's not entertaining enough to warrant any actual money though.
I'm practically as old as he is.
>>336329502
The thing is his content is funded by this oil tycoon's son and he's a fucking manchild/has a terrible understanding of english so Mark dumbs down his stuff for him.
>>336329502
>10,000$ a month
It's steadily declining
It peaked out at around 10.5k and now dropped to 9.5k, and it will continue to drop unless he changes something.
His stale jokes got stale and tbqhwu the reviews just aren't fun anymore.
He spends three minutes in 7 minutes video thanking his patreons
>>336329725
Ahmed from qatar?
>>336329765
good to hear its dropping
>>336329845
Yeah there we go.
>>336329765
Can't even say I'm sad really. Mark's a great guy, but I stopped watching his channel so long ago.
>Spoony is making less than 2k a month now
CRASHING DOWN
>>336329502
>you have daddy issues
What?
hes trying to push his shitty comics too wich is annoying
>>336330053
That's also another issue
He has no idea how to use crowdfunding efficiently.
He sets up a patreon for whatever he feels like drawing this week instead of adding them as stretch goals to entice already existing backers to donate a bit extra to get the comics
I give it a year before he begs for more money or calls it quits. He's a dinosaur
>>336329502
I have enjoyed some of his videos in the past and he seems like a great guy.
I wish good fortune upon him and if you don't you're probably not a nice person.
>>336329502
I lough at this bait.
There is only love for CGR.
>>336330273
are you blind retard? because if you cant see how shitty he is today you are just blind fanboy
#whodefeats
>>336330004
good that retard is up there with chris chan and a number of other lolcows on my list spoony doesn't know how to do shit besides spreg out on twitter now. hes a fucking sjw also.
i hope hes homeless by the summer hes got no friends his family hates him and his fanbase left him after they found out how much of a sperg he is
>>336329618
>He just manages to find appreciation in games that he sucks at
and this is why most reviewers in all medium suck these days.
its like they cant find a compromise, if you dont like something, it doesnt mean it can be good for other people, of course that doesnt mean that there CANT be anything wrong with something.
Some reviewers have to think and realize that maybe something that didnt clic with them, will probably clic with another group of people.
It literally doesn't even matter if he gets paid $0 a month he's fucking loaded
>>336330481
so order 1886 is a GOTY because some kid may like it? fuck off retard
Are there any other reviewers like Mark or that follow more the Classic Game Room style?
>>336330469
I don't hate the guy, but it frustrates me to think of the easy life he's essentially lived for years now on past glories.
Especially when past "glories" is being pretty charitable.
His best works:
>Ultima - fun when it came out and great rewatchability
>Final Fantasy - some of the stuff was hit-or-miss but the older FF8 stuff is still worth rewatching to this day
>Phantasmagoria - fun the first time, boring as shit on attempted rewatch
Everything else is shit.
>>336330762
hes a goddamn sperg hes always been one and will always be one. shitting on final fantasy is unforgivable
>>336330613
not really anon, you just dont get it.
The order might be good at the story telling aspect, but the gameplay aspect is where she score goes down, having so little gameplay and not being anything special would bring the score down quite considerably.
The game might play fine but it's really uninspired, so for a person looking for a story it might be a good choice, but for people expecting more of a game or something new, then this definitely is a pass, or at least get it when its cheap.
I do believe the order was scored correctly by most sites yes? somewhere around 6-7?
>>336331089
>shitting on final fantasy is unforgivable
Calm your autism. Its the only time he's funny.
>>336330004

>>336329846
why anon? I dont even watch the OP guy but why are you glad someone is doing bad?
why not just ignore the whole thing, what do you gain from being angry that some dude is making less money now?
>>336331089
Hi FF8/10 fanboy.
>>336329502
>he likes every game
That's why i like him, he doesn't try to be dark and edgy like my soul and hate everything like Angry Joe.
>and doesnt even know anything about the games he "reviews"
And despite the fact that he doesn't know about the games he play or that he's not even good at them he still tries to enjoy them.
We also should try to be more like him and less jaded fucks who think like "8/10 would not play".
>>336331305
Harm-joy, Alice.
>>336330673
Well not style or reviews per say but the original Awesome Video Games was a lot of fun before it became Video Games Awesome. Now they just sit on the couch in front of a green screen playing games and responding to twitch chat. It's alright.
I feel the old show fits in a place somewhere between Classic Game Room and AVGN.
Check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2EFDDB2C44C4B348
I like Mark. I admire his collection, his taste in games, and his general Joie de vivre.
I don't like him because he's funny, informative or insightful. I like him because he genuinely enjoys vidya.
when I watch his 'reviews' I feel like I'm reading a review from one of those '90s gaming mags- 10/10 radicool
>>336331116
you would be a fucking terrible reviewer. I hope no one hires you
>so for a person looking for a story it might be a good choice
a movie or a book might be better chouse if the person doesnt care about gameplay, fucking idiot
>>336331889
how about you fuck off with your shilling.
your channel sucks btw
>>336329502
So why DOES that Ben 10 video have 50 million views?
>>336331262
I'm actually curious how social welfare works in America. Do you even have to attempt to find a job if you're on welfare to keep getting payments?
>>336329502
this blog has edges
I like Mark but he should abandon his comic book work asap
>>336331412
or maybe we rather play games we like? and not waste our time with games that suck
>>336332386
>a movie or a book might be better chouse if the person doesnt care about gameplay, fucking idiot
tsk tsk, I'm reviewing a game anon, are you forgeting that SOME people are actually looking for stories in their games? I'm not one of those, but I dont ignore the fact that some people do, thus why I mention it, it just goes to show that you are the one with the problem if you can't accept that there are people out there who want stories with their games.
Hell you would be surprised how many times I've had to say that anons should read books instead of playing games for stories.
>>336332302
90s gaming mags were not like that retard, they had a insightful reviews just like today. Marks "revuews" arnt insightful reviews.
>>336330673
cgrundertow are very similar in format, although all the commentators are insufferable gits.
>>336332461
lmao I'm not a fan of the AVG format either. I just like the original show before they found out that streaming and posting said streams to Youtube makes way more money.
>>336332507
I think, THINK, it's something along the lines of "you get welfare until you can no longer justify it, then you get less until you find a job".
There's like a step down after you aren't able to justify it anymore. Though that justification can be very easy to get away with. Claim autism and voilà .
>>336332649
er... not a fan of the VGA format. My bad.
>Enjoys video games
>shows enough gameplay footage to get the feel of the game
>comfy commentary
>professional-level editing
>doesn't swear like a 12-year old like ever other e-celeb
>gives a solid opinion without being cynical
What's not to like?
>>336332641
maybe official mags, but not the unlicensed ones that called readers out on their bullshit letters.
then again, I'm not a Burger.
>>336332781
youre talking about advertisements retard., those were paid reviews that gave 10/10 radicools
>>336332725
His patreon bullshit.
>>336332865
no, I'm talking about local, unlicensed mags that had absolutely no contact with publishers. they had to hunt down their material.
maybe you didn't have those in the US.
http://youtu.be/mHLDosdmjHY
Just watched one of his Who Defeatz videos. That shit was awful
>>336332572
Yeah but still, sometimes video games are about fun not about 10/10 perfection.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al7_fotlld4
>>336333179
this "review" was fucking awful, his usual sidetracking and bullshitting
Maxresdefault please kill yourself
>>336329502
The only 3 "youtubers" I watch and are worth watching are Easy Allies (former GT), Classic Game Room, and HappyConsoleGamer.
If any of you shit on either, you're just horrible people or just kids.
>>336334268
His reviews are meant to be both entertaining and informative.
If you want a review that tells you every detail of the game in an autistic manner then look elsewhere.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5IuNndgRoc
He used to be amazing before he was pretending to shut down his youtube channels. You can feel he didn't even want to do it anymore. After Pateron it's really really forced now since he is being paid so much. I unsubscribed to him because of the shitty who defeats videos and other pateron bullshit. also there is like 3-4 minutes tacked on videos for congratulating the pateron people.
>>336336060
>also there is like 3-4 minutes tacked on videos for congratulating the pateron people.
you have to do that, you piece of shit.
>>336336060
This post in just pure crawling in my skin.
>>336336246
how about you go suck marks cock retard
>>336336246
>you have to do that
this is why any job sucks
>>336336246
you don't have to do shit. if he had to do that then pateron is not about donating but buying advertisement. you're buying to have your name advertise on every daily video.
>>336336467
that is IN the patreon guidelines!!!
FUCKING easy allies have to do the same thing in the middle of their podcasts.
>>336336585
well i hope all the pateron donators are happy with having their name read for 3 minutes on a 4 minute video. i'm already unsubscribed and i'm done with this thread. mark already lost me as a viewer and i don't even play games anymore. peace.
2010-2011 Mark was probably the best Mark. Informative reviews, just the right amount of lightheartedness and jokes, and no annoying overly enthusiastic tone, plus the best intro in the history of the show. Current Mark is still easily watchable but he tries too hard with his voice and the jokes, and it's distracting. Also, he's making almost $10K a month from Patreon, so he can fuck right off with the who defeatz shit that clearly takes no effort to make. I'm sure that one minute long garbage is making his Patreon pledges slowly decline.
>>336336869
>>336336831
hi samefag. if you don't like games, what are doing here or even watching cgr to begin with? hmm?
>>336336585
Link to where in their guidelines it says that's a requirement.
Maffew the Botchamania guy uses Patreon, and doesn't spend time crediting anyone in his videos.
CGR, Easy Allies, any number of bellends on Twitch, etc. only read out names because it makes numbskulls want to sign up to have their own names read out, and enjoy a shallow, misguided feeling of communal loyalty that will keep them coming back.
>>336337004
Not samefag. I'm still subbed to the guy myself. But the who defeatz videos need to stop
>>336329502
he is still doing this shit? fuck me, he didn't change a bit afer I stoped watching his shit like 4 years ago
>not watching far superior LGR
>>336329502
This guy is so dumb. Why can't a utube guy make funny and intelligent humour like family guy?
>>336337429
fuck off with this nerd.
Mark is a classy 70's man.
>>336330673
Kitetales is such a fucking retard. Nothing makes me cringe like her beta army of morons lapping up her passive aggressive conservative christian bullshit just because she pretends they don't make her sick. But I'd happily gag her and use her womb a few times.
Gotta agree I don't understand the #whodefeatz thing at all. Hopefully he'll realize how weird it is for him to be doing something like that and stop.
>>336337586
She's a part of the whole new "cool for kids" range for neocon fedora autists who got a little too obsessed with SJWs.
>>336329502
never heard of someone called maxresdefaultcirclejerk retard

It's not Video games but Regular Car Reviews has that feel. I don't really care about cars but his reviews gets me invested.

I don't mind Mark I think he's great but his latest videos coming out are pretty shitty.
>>336337856
yes. classy. got a problem with it, derek?
>>336338628
How??
His game genie review was hilarious
>>336332572
By suck you mean "I don't like it so it suck"
BANISHED
>>336330613
It's not one extreme or the other. I swear the majority on /v/ are mentally deficient. There's something very wrong with most of you people.
>>336338942
With /v/ it's always extremes, no middle ground. Same reason why they want every game release to be the next Tortanic.

Fuck off.
>>336332983
Have you read US mags? They were fucking awful. They actually hold EGM in high regard over there.
>>336339209

By a country fucking mile, buddy.

>>336340019
Shut up shadowkiller855.
>>336339624
the difference is that's mark's genuine personality whereas those gamesack fags are terrible forced an awkward with everything that comes out of their mouths. it even feels awkward with them being together in 1 shot. everything that comes out of mark's mouth is a smooth sexy serenade. truly a great.
and regardless of what you fags say, we NEED cgr to go on as a compendium library of sorts for gaming history. It's just a matter that we're in a magical space el camino while perusing it. gives flavor.

>>336340019
wow, people have different opinions
So whats wrong with CGR now? I haven't watched his stuff seriously in years and have been hearing bad stuff. Oldschool marc was always funny even though he probably didn't mean it.
>>336329502
he does tell you everything you need to know, you add autistic bean counter
he tells you
a)how well a game holds up
b)how much he enjoys it
c)which games in the same genre are better
just because your autism demands a quantifiable score doesn't mean it's not a review
>>336340019
shadowkiller855 calls someone a 'confirmed pleb' for opinions.
Holy fuck what a loser.
>>336329502
Mark's one of the few likeable people on YouTube,which is more than i can say for most.How about just don't watch him if you don't like him.
>>336340019
Holy shit he has truely dire taste.
>>336341436
>>336343126
Nice damage control.
Fuck off shadowkiller855
>>336329502
Hating Mark is like hating Jesus.
You're essentially Satan if you do so.
>>336329502
>he likes every game
Wow, what a fucking loser. I can't believe he doesn't play games looking for every little flaw to nitpick and blow out of proportion. It actually sounds like he plays video games for enjoyment! Can you believe that shit?
