    The annoying part is a lot of these arent actually problems, James just wanted to complain about shit to then maybe make a joke in the same avenue. But holding it against a game that you spam buttons so you cant see certain things. When if you were ever doing a 2nd run having to sit there is painful or if you're speedrunning you dont want that time. Or like the comments about 8 seconds being too long for a casual play.. Plus the translation stuff isnt on the game itself. It led to localizers who now think they have ultimate power to translate bad on purpose in any media. But now people do recite AVGN in character gripes as actual gripes with a game. In reality most people understand James isnt that great at games, so a lot of gripes he has nobody has. But not those bringing them up as if genuine criticism.

    Of course he exagerrated, but everyone who was around them knows why. Games were FUCKING ruthless and unforgiving then. Often no instructions or discernable story. Just throw you in a level and off you go. Then the fact that developers weren't held to the same standards as today. He was funny because we all felt how avgn felt, and if you had friends around the computer ( yes before smartphones but after broadband internet in every home)that even vaguely remembered video games, it was a good time. Stop hating. And your fuckin late to the party. And your voice is fucking torture to listen to
